FROM THE DARKNESS I DRAW MY STRENGTH!!
In that same slot is the cutie J I think,they work like the Type ones in wich you have some in the same bullet.
EDIT:
Yes si there "'formal' couture bullet has the Cutie J costume if anyone is wondering"
I got that with some research.
2 costumes in on bullet,the second most badass ones after the old Jeanne one!!!

Bayonetta is hotter but I think Jeanne is cooler.

I left a comment there LOL
Anyway I beat Climax yesterday YAY!!! 1000/1000 in this masterpiece!!!
And now to do everything againg with Jeanne!!!
Man I feel like the first time I will start the game,I dont feel like a chore or anything I cant wait to do all over again and that I have never felt that way for a game before.
Greatest compliment I could make to Kamiya its that I want to play Bayonetta over and over and over again having lots of fun.
FROM THE DARKNESS I DRAW MY STRENGTH!!
I dont like the design of the characters, but I seen 1 for Bayonetta and one for Jeanne that looks pretty acceptable, Jeanne looks better, not exagerated wierdo :P (Formal Costume A is the best one IMO).
The cheesyness of the characters is annoying and the music.
However there is a around this.
1. After one playthrough, I plan on skipping all cutscenes.
2. PS3 has custom music support, and even Bayonetta has some epic tracks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFPVWv7X0c4
But considering me and Raptor has same ideas of this genre quite alot, I want to ask you something.
What does it have for replayvalue? You know me enough with this genre so you know what I am talking about.
I read it has New Game+ and you can play any chapters in any order as well, and all your belongings carry over.
New Game+ is there so I am happy.
However, what about arena mode? I saw some Challenges, but I hate Challenges because they limit you from your moves and success. Any word on that?
I am just looking into this title as much as I can because its a risky take for me...yes I am replaying the demo again and watching some footage on youtube as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT20XVrHZoo
What the is this!?
Nice tracks reminds me of the NES era with Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden.
Raptor care to tell me where in the game these tracks plays?
Also, how does the weapon upgrades and Jeanne's parts work out?
The game is full of nods to other games. Quotes from MadWorld, Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry, references to Resident Evil, Outrun, Sonic, Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier, etc.
You'll absolutely HATE the fact that this game has a sense of humour and charm about it, but you'll absolutely love it as a game. It trashes everything else in the genre, frankly. As I stated earlier, it pretty much trashes every other game as far as sheer enthusiasm, sense of show and mechanics go too, in my book.

I am sorry, as much as awesome the combos and all that is done, NG still holds the throne of best FOR ME.
But I seen enough videos of this game like the nunchucks, yamato, whip, lightning power, just awesome stuff for sure, very good imagination.
But what always puts me off is the humor and the style, but the rest is great (except the music but that can be fixed :P)
I do know I will love this game because the combat is awesome for its style, but I dont know, i am still looking into this.
As long as you can move past the surface though I think you will actually find the combat to surpass anything you've played so far. It just brings countless awesome ideas to that style of game, things I can't even imagine moving backwards from. I was halfway through the DMC trilogy for PS2 (playing the atrocious DMC2 already had me in terrible agony) and after Bayonetta, finishing DMC2 just isn't going to happen.
Unless future Simon accidentally plays a later Gauntlet game after which DMC2 is surely gonna feel like a step up.

But compared DMC, Bayonetta seems to surpass it for sure because thats closer to DMC.
I unfortunetly cant surpass, I tried many times but can't. And I am short on money so I have to be careful.
The demo doesn't prepare you for anything though. There are so many more layers to the game, just in terms of moves you purchase for starters, then the different weapons and accessories you equip to grant brand new strategies and add brand new actual gameplay concepts to the mix.
But yeah, if you are looking for that specific *thing* then I guess it doesn't matter that all this stuff brushes perfection.

Unfortunetly, the design and style of Bayonetta isnt my thing, but I honestly think the combat is fantastic. But the design and style is all over the game so its not something I can avoid.
One thing I learned is, if I have mixed feelings about a game, then there is a chance I wont like it, so no point of forcing to like a certain thing and avoid other things...GOW was like that, so was Dantes Inferno.
I guess I have to save money for Lords of Shadow as planned, only title in the genre I am truly looking forward to.
I think Dreamcast made me a stylistic deviant. The absolute onslaught of totally crazy titles had me constantly recalibrating my comfort zone with that stuff. Now I'm just absolutely thrilled when things are surprising and new and contrarian.
On the flipside, when things are just gray and normal and played straight I'm pretty easily bored instead. I find Ninja Gaiden utterly charmless and stuffy, in presentation terms. In fact, DMC always had me way more excited stylistically, with its flamboyant world and humourous take on awesomeness. Ninja Gaiden was ultimately the better game though so I did enjoy that more, stuffy ninjas nonwithstanding.
But I've a friend, Peter, who doesn't play many games. He says that since he plays fewer games, the style has to be to his liking, it's so much more important to him because he won't play enough games to appreciate game X for the game and game Y for the style. I suppose that's a valid observation, and it may just be that I play enough games to give some a pass for their style if I enjoy them mechanically.

If I knew I had enough money to buy all the titles that is on top of the list, buying Bayonetta wouldnt harm me, but considering I cant afford many games, I am taking the titles I am certainly going to buy and just wait for them than wasting money on games I know I have mixed feelings about just to know much later on when those titles comes I am going to trade them in for the new ones.
I guess I am a guy who wants more serious look and act in a game and not goofyness.
DMC is manageable if if you dont mind the cheesy dialogues :P

I even forgot there is Sengoku Basara 3 coming this year for PS3 that i am really looking forward too!
The game its pretty much the most replayable game out there,it has game+ for everything after you first finish the game,basically you only need to find the weapons one time up onto Climax diff,you can play chapters the way you want in the order you want always,the is a mission mode kinda pure fighting bliss,wave after wave of enemies getting more dificult with some bigger bosses in to the mix aswell.
After youve done with Bayonetta like me there is still Jeanne to do everything else again and the weapons costumes some moves taunts are different with different names and descriptions for example the sword is Shuraba for Bayonetta and Angel Slayer for Jeanne and they are different in form.
You can skip all the cutscenes if you like and go straight in to the action,as for the music there is memorable boss tracks that make the fight EPIC apart that you are fighting bigger than life bosses the orchestral stuff is kicking and you feel super badass.
What more can I say I just love the game but the bigger reason I love it its for the gameplay and combat,the deepness of it never ceased to amaze you even after you put 50-100 hours in the game.
Right now Im starting a Jeanne all run Im in CH 10 and I cant wait to finish it so I can buy some costumes and start in hard that is when things start to get more interesting not to mention climax that its IMO the diff Kamiya wanted players to experience,its a world apart from games out there,the sheer amount of skill you develop over time surprise you with the shit you perform with your character that you cant believe you are doing all the stuff that is happening on screen and in fact its you and you alone not some QTE ro stuff like that.
But if character design puts you away I can understand it really well because it happened to me aswell.
FROM THE DARKNESS I DRAW MY STRENGTH!!
Thx for the answers though.
I love how the combat is for Bayonetta, but I cant shake off the cheesyness from the game, and unfortunetly its even integrated in the combat as well like the lips image for lock-on, the big high heeled show hit, the spanking...etc. LOL
But some of the moves are just crazy, especially the nunchuk-gun. I do love it when she kepts doing the hand to hand swing like Ryu does in NG but she pulls a Fist of the North Star (if thats the name) and says "wachatatata" haha thats funny TBH :P
I can take Jeanne more serious than Bayonetta and for the reason is that her design is less exagerated, but have some similair flair as well.
One thing I give alot of kudos for the devs is the replayvalue and content, they think RIGHT which is great.
I seen some combo footages and the style which I like to call "free form" is great, it slike you wont see the same combo being done twice if you so wish, just keep the moves fresh.
Why couldnt they make the dude playable :P
However I decided not to buy it because I have mixed feelings about it, and when I have mixed feelings about it means later on I will trade it in, speaking from experience.
So I will just my money on games I am 100% know I am going to enjoy.
However I do see the appeal of the combos though and why you like it, you got good taste in combat ;)
