Bayonetta (The Game)

Those are actually Flaming Ardors.

The whip, shotguns(assuming you hit them with the blast and not the melee attack), and fire Durga work very well against them.

Oh yeah, Ardors. I just assumed that's what we were talking about without checking the names.

Affinities=Affinities.

Applaud=Big Affinities.

Ardor=Giant Affinities.

Angelic semantics can go to hell.

Applauds and Ardors are the same size though. Ardors just have cool armor. (there are giant Affinities too, the ones with the laser tubas)

Ardors are actually slightly shorter than Applauds, but also stockier.

One of these days, I just got to download a PC port version and play this goddamn game to experience all this Nintendo Hard nightmare for myself, since it's already guaranteed that this game (and its sequel) will never ever get past customs security due to Moral Guardians.

Pretty sure Ardors are the biggest, at least the ones on the plane I can't get past.

Oh man, No Export for You is bad enough when it's purely corporate. I wish you as much luck as possible in your quest to play this.

Thanks; I just hope that I can get long periods of privacy to play the game away from my family's notice. Sucks to live in a conservative family when you want to play a brazenly sexually-charged game like this one. XP

I'm also trying to get a non-glitchy emulator version of Front Mission 4 as well; my one hard copy, which a relative of mine had bought as a present for me while abroad, had broken down just when I was getting to the good part in the middle of the Venezuelan campaign's jungle phase.

I asked Hideki Kamiya on his twitter if a Getter Robo game from Platinum would be a good idea.

He went "Hmmm.."

Calling it, Platinum's next game is going to be to Getter Robo what Vanquish was to Neo Human Casshern.

Speaking of Vanquish, the game would have been like twice as good if the main character had been a robot instead of a dude in power armor. They could have played up the distrust the other soldiers had for him as Fantastic Racism. They could've had S.A.M pull off crazier moves or lose limbs. They could've had a unique take on a hero who wasn't the standard "All American" hero we've seen a billion times. They could've had a voice actor that doesn't sound like they gargled rusty nails.

Hmm..

Has their been any new news about Bayonetta 2 yet?

Maybe we'll get some at Jump Festa..

I'm starting to doubt it's coming out in March… we have literally no info on the game outside the fact the protagonist will be different.

Different protagonist? Then what role would Bayonetta have? Or is that Cereza has given up the "Bayonetta" moniker for some reason, and this new character takes it up in her stead?

It's the story of how Bayo's mom(I forget her name) and Baldur first met?

When was a new protagonist confirmed?

I thought that was all speculation at this point?

It hasn't been confirmed and given the trailer we've seen is so similar to the very first teaser I don't think it is happening. I hope it doesn't seeing as how much I love Bayonetta as she is. It was the first piece of information "Leaked" after the game was apparently cancelled though.

It wasn't? I thought the devs had talked about having a story from a different point of view or something of the sort… I don't remember well…

Really awesome analysis if I say so myself.

They could've had a voice actor that doesn't sound like they gargled rusty nails.

That was Steve Blum trying to channel David Hayter.

Vanquish, from what I have gotten up to so far, seems like a game that has alot of really awesome stuff going for it, but there's also a bunch of stuff that feels undercooked which keeps it from being amazing.

But yeah, Bayonetta. Holy hell I love this game. Currently doing Hard. Up to Chapter 6. I think I realised that I may not have been as good as I thought after I blew about 3 Red Hot Shots trying to beat Chapter 5 alone. Wait, what's next again?

(Chapter 6. That chapter.)

Son of a bitch.

I will never be able to Pure Platinum any difficulty, or normal Platinum them. I think I would go insane in the process if I tried.

Bayonetta is a harsh mistress. You need to pull out all the stops for her to keep from outright insulting you, and even playing until your thumbs break and your eyes bleed will probably just elicit a "Silver" from her.

"You want me to do the Alfheim Challenges AGAIN for a Gold or Platinum?! Please! I'm only human!!"

x3 Sam's VA was Gideon Emery. Steve Blum was Burns.

That's funny 'cause they sound exactly the same.

Like their vocal chords have turned into cheese graters, both.

Hopefully we'll get giant Faith, Hope, and Love angels in the sequel.

I now understand the pun behind "Faith, Hope, and Trick".

A-doy.
