I can't believe people say Bayonetta looks like Sarah Palin

Palin looks like a frickin' MAN.

The dragon boss was pissing me off cause I kept getting my ass beat within the first few minutes! I got him eventually though. Love the button mashing. Feels so good.

I've been using the sword, I dont feel comfortable to even try any of the other weapons. lol

Ichirou · « **Reply #842 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:45:12 PM »

You mean in chapter 4? That one's my least favorite of all the bosses, honestly.

demi · « **Reply #843 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:46:51 PM »

Yeah cause hes like HURR entire floor is lava but the hourglass is way on the other side while I try to stomp you! Im like WTF, so I just cheesed it by dodging his attack then when he broke the thing I ould run directly to the hourglass.

Ichirou · « **Reply #844 on:** January 05, 2010, 07:48:21 PM »

There's a weapon you can put on your legs that makes the lava harmless, btw. Dunno if you have it yet.

I remember having to use the hourglass to rebuild the platform like five or six times

why does it show you only need two of the green things to make a green lolipop on the ingredients list but it takes 10 to make one?

Beezy · « **Reply #846 on:** January 05, 2010, 08:12:20 PM »

Two sets of 5. I think they show it on the top left of the screen. Confused me at first too.

Ichirou · « **Reply #847 on:** January 05, 2010, 08:13:34 PM »

Yeah, each color ball signifies 5 of each. There's a legend on the top of the screen where the recipes are.

I used that to whoop Mr. Dragon's ass. He wasn't so hard.

Beezy · « **Reply #858 on:** January 06, 2010, 12:32:49 AM »

Use the handguns on your legs instead of the shotguns when using the sword. It just feels better. Easier to combo with. She busts out like three demon hair kicks at the end of some combos with this weapon set.

Yes I know, but seeing as I've never fought him I didnt know how he worked so he kept grabbing me at the start, then turning the entire arena into lava so I was running around going WTF

Also the scoring system is POOP, imo.

I've beaten every level so far without using items. Unfortunately the Leaderboards dont show that, so theres no way to really reinforce that. Pure Platinums, maybe.

Ichirou · « **Reply #862 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:19:54 AM »

You get points docked for using items at the end of a chapter. There's no way to win platinum trophies if you use items during a level. It's the same as if you get killed and use continues, so you do get penalized.

drew · « **Reply #863 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:22:23 AM »

ive used a handful of weak yellow and green items, im still figuring out which combos can be canceled with the snap of a finger, i keep getting caught up close in the middle of something, i also keep getting stone trophies purely due to dying in qte sequences, fml

by the way, my life bar was on the second level by the middle of that shitty lava level, junpeii says this is impossible, anyone else have two bars?

demi · « **Reply #864 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:25:04 AM »

I didnt have 2 levels. Still dont. Did you buy nothing but Witch Hearts? Did you buy the Life Extender from the Angel minigame prior?

Well, I still think its messed.

I played Chapter 2 the first time, and I fucked up the train achievement (oops). So I play the level, get an overall Bronze. Ok, I'll replay it.

Finish the 2nd go, and I wind up with a Silver. Yay! But for some reason I had a worse combo and time score, so it was actually worse. Why is this?

drew · « **Reply #866 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:26:55 AM »

i only bought one witch heart, and that was after i had the beginning of a second bar

Not sure. Did you get killed the first time? Did you get hit a lot the first time? I think that affects your trophies as well.

As I understand, the main factors you get scored on are:

- Combos
- Time
- Damage taken
- Items/continues used

Maybe you found witch heart pieces in the stages prior? I think if you do all the Alfheim challenges, you should have enough pieces to have the beginning of a second bar by chapter 2.

demi · « **Reply #869 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:33:21 AM »

I just dont see any importance of not using items, like DMC4 did (definitely not like NG2, which I appreciated)

Ichirou · « **Reply #870 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:35:01 AM »

Whenever I used items on a stage, the best I'd ever get was a bronze trophy, and usually a stone one so I had to replay it. :/

demi · « **Reply #871 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:36:06 AM »

You can still get Bronze even if you're one of the top players on the Leaderboard, really. Its just a bungled system I think.

the only limited move special stage ive done was the one at the bottom of the spiral stair with the wind things on it, and it was the first one i found

of course i found witch heart pieces in the stages prior, i explore EVERYWHERE, im just surprised not everyone has two bars, especially people farther along than me, i was surprised when i got it too, seemed a bit early

it's because leaderboards go by either time or combo score exclusively, not by medal. The in-game scoring doesn't translate to ranking more than one person because it forgives you if you screw up one variable, but do well in another. They probably found it difficult to come up with some kind of breakdown of all variables (combo, time, item, death) that translates to an accurate rank among all the players. They'd have to quantify the importance of each variable then combine them all into one score, but doing that opens it up to serious exploitation.

For one thing, you can only do really well on combo points if you don't go for speed and vice versa. A really good player who got an impressive amount of points for a minimum amount of time won't be recognized on an "overall score" board...they'd be towards the middle. and what if they use an item or die, but still kicked ass anyway? So the scoreboards are more for making yourself deliberately go for high combo score or low time in a chapter, rather than just playing well like normal.

drew · « **Reply #874 on:** January 06, 2010, 03:13:41 AM »

so doing no hurts wont factor into the overall leaderboard?

smh

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #875 on:** January 06, 2010, 03:19:48 AM »

there is no overall leaderboard...there's a combo score one and a time one only.

You have to replay the entire chapter.

demi · « **Reply #879 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:51:41 AM »

You can exit the chapter immediately after completing the alfheim though

Ichirou · « **Reply #880 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:52:22 AM »

Yeah, the game saves automatically after you complete the Alfheim.

Just finished this. Pretty great game overall. It's nice to finally have another action game that can hang with NG and DMC (even if it's derivative of DMC). Of course there was still plenty of stuff I didn't like:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

motorcycle and missile surfing missions are garbage, turret section to kill a boss is garbage, QTE's are garbage, button mashing for climax moves is garbage, escorting little girls is garbage, vsync and framerate issues

[close]

The scoring system is a nice concept but it's easily abusable just from taking a look at the leaderboards (9999999 scores everywhere). I think I know how they're pulling off scores like that, so hopefully Platinum will issue a patch to fix it and wipe the leaderboards afterward. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Now to go collect the rest of the stuff I missed and then on to Hard mode.

Who cares, it doesnt matter what score you get. You are graded on Time and Combo. Have fun with your top score with a Stone statue.

From what I've read, the sexually awkward are usually the ones who are offended by the game. Also, married couples whose wife have them by a leash.

If anything it's more like Kamiya's fanwank. Theres references to references and nothing but.
