Who's excited for Bayonetta 2? I'm excited for Bayonetta 2!

''Raise's hand''

I am!I love the new look.Wish though they were bringing it to PS4.It's okay though because sooner or later i would buy a WiiU to play Mario,Zelda and Smash.Hope Nintendo cut's the price soon.

I considered buying it (Before i knew it was Wii U exclusive only), but now i just can't imagine myself buying Wii U just for this game.... :(

Looks like i have watch playthrough for this one.....

Strangely enough, this game is what's making me get a Wii U in the first place. I'm just hoping that the OST is as good as its predecessor.

Bayonetta 2 is out, get hyped!

From Currently playing - thread:

Combat is pretty much the same, expect it's a bit more deeper, soundtrack was amazing and characters were a lot more fleshed out. (Especially Bayonetta herself)
My biggest and only problem with the first game was the pacing, but here, it's near perfection.

HOLY SHIT!!! Bayonetta 2 is so fucking radical!!! I think my eyes are exploding from how rad Bayonetta 2 is

Far too many long and thoughtful posts about worthy games get lost in Currently Playing, so it's time to revive this topic (which was originally two, just now merged together) and rebrand it as it should be (renamed to Bayonetta from Bayonetta 2, so as to refer to the whole series).

I never mentioned in Currently Playing when I beat Bayonetta 2, but after beating that game I thought to myself that I should give the original another run-through, not just because the shiny fresh unplayed disc in the case was tempting me but also because I realized just how little of the story of either game I actually understood (due in the case of Bayonetta 2 to taking far too long of a break from it before finishing it off) and how little especially of the first game I could even remember.

And so I've started the original all over again (this time on the Wii U) and I am so happy right now. After spending most of the cold-weather season forcing myself to play or rather trudge through games I wasn't really enjoying I've gotten back into the habit of playing games I actually like and this is one of them. The game is better than I remember it, more playable thanks to the IMO superior controller (the Wii U Pro is a dream to me, at least for games like this), but more surprisingly.

Tonight was my first session, and all kinds of things wowed me. The gameplay is no surprise -- of course that's excellent. But this time around I actually paid attention to the opener, and with the last few chapters of Bayonetta 2 fresh in mind I was just like "Oh, yeah, it makes sense this time". I intend to play both games all the way through in a more condensed timeframe this time so as to make sure it really sticks.

Speaking of the gameplay, I played through all of Bayonetta 2 never really bothering to investigate much deeper than button-mashing and just vaguely feeling my way through the fights, but during tonight's session, taking this game with a more laid-back and patient attitude, I actually took the time to read about some of the combos and took in the game's advice as to strategically what they're for, and my experience of the gameplay was significantly improved by this information. With Bayonetta 2 I had started to get tired of the game even though I had just picked it back up again because admittedly I didn't really know what I was doing and the game never forced me to figure it out, letting me just limp along, but after figuring out better how to play I'm kicking more and better ass in the first one than I ever recall kicking in either.

I'm glad I'm starting doing this only now, though, because Bayonetta 2 really is more refined so I'd rather figure this game out first so I can be wowed all over again by how the second one improves the areas I didn't pay attention to last time.

Also wow did Bayonetta look good in that nun outfit, and also wow has that beehive really grown on me, I actually like it now.

^Yeah, it is great to play through the original after finishing Bayo 2. I'm trying to find some time to do a run-through wearing the Samus costume (because frankly that visor flip just makes the game that much cooler).
