I turned on my Wii U!
It had a big update and crap to do. What assholes putting the awesome zelda music in the store to make me want hyrule warriors.
Its not a zelda game so no. I will wait for cheap or whatever Nintendo passes for cheap.
One day you're going to play this and then want to kick your own ass for waiting so long. The soundtrack alone is worth it.
Bayo 2 demo is the most ridiculous thing I have ever played and I have played a lot of ridiculous stuff. Its just the prologue and I fought a bunch of angles while riding a jet, which then got attacked by a huge dragon angel head thing which lead me to the top of a train where a big tank dude attacked me. Then you fight the dragon angel thing on the train while Jeanne shows up on her own jet shooting missiles and shit. Then you do your super hair naked attack which summons a huge demon on the side of a skyscraper where you punch the dragon angel into. Then the hair demon becomes evil, comes out of the skyscraper and now you flying through the air battle the demon on the side of the skyscraper and you summon a now three headed hair dragon to fight the hair demon and it blows up the entire building! All while some chick is singing some pop song.
Game of the forever!
Combat system is the same, I need to get back into the grove to pure platinum everything.
I couldn't agree more, it was absolutely stunning.
Yeah that music is so awesome and tempting. I will end up getting this game sooner rather then later.
Ok sank a good hour into it, it is totally bayonetta, just on steroids. Surprisingly the pad works extremely well. This is not a game where you are hitting and holding multiple triggers while hitting face buttons which is where the pad fails, so you can focus almost exclusively on the face buttons and have your finger well rested on the ZR button to evade.
The new mechanic is the Umbra super which charges as you combo, you can save the charge to unleash the super which causes every attack to be a huge power one for a short time. Or you can use your magic torture enemies which is an instant kill. I think the super is far better to save.
There are two weapon types, the classic guns and a sword and whip. The sword and whip is a blast to use, you grab an enemy from across the level with the whip and slam them around.
I also tried the touch screen mode, it works but seems boring to me. Basically you tap on the circle that appears on the screen and hold it there while bayonetta picks combos. You are responsible for dodging which is done by sliding the stylus. Some enemies are moving alot so tapping all over the screen becomes necessary.I dont get why anyone would want to play that way as there is no point to the game outside of action. Off screen works great both ways.
The action seems super over the top and 100% platinum insanity. Exactly what I want. In the next two weeks we get a Mikami RE4 like game and a sequel to the answer to DMC from Kamiya. It is Capcom’s golden age returned without Capcom.
I SHOULDNT BE DRINKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, BUT i AM... OH i AM !
i WONDER IF ILL FIND THIS AS FUNNY TOMORROW MORNING?
Possible Ally...
BWAH-HAHAHAHA!!!
Downloaded Bayonetta 2 demo. It tells me I can only play this demo 15 times. Why the fuck is Nintendo limiting demo plays, anyway? I haven't seen this on demos from any other company, just Nintendo. It's not a big deal, but it's sooo fucking weird!
Sorry, Hamster!
Finished the demo. SOLD! Finally something worth playing on the Wii U.
Nintendo cannot dicktate to me how much
There's nothing else worth playing on U anyway. 
fap-playing I can do, goddammit! I just won't turn off my Wii U until the full game is released!Assassin's Creed Unity director says 30fps 'feels better' Asks 'who cares' about resolution
Wow! that's some epic bullshit there.
To be fair, no one cared about the sub-720P resolutions rampant last gen unless they were on Wii. And 30FPS is a huge upgrade on last gen. :X
"Mod turns GTAIV into Watch Dogs."
So it's a mod that turns a bad game into an even worse one?
Anybody playing Alien Isolation?
I just started it tonight. I honestly love it so far. Its a horror game through and through...slow paced, atmospheric, and spooky. I guess it could be described as a mix of Zombi U, Dead Space, and the Silent Hills demo. We'll see how the rest is but so far its great.
Coulson is the best, so right.
Hey man, I fucking hate Ubi's games for the most part. hopefully this will come to a platform that doesn't use Uplay soon for you.
