Got to Chapter 8 in Bayonetta 2 yesterday. I'm enjoying this a lot more than 1, for the most part because they have updated Witch Time so it's now a bit easier to hit. The story is more interesting as well.

Yeah, I'm also equially losing and getting no 1 or 2 in free for all vs three lvl 8 CPU. At first I thought that I just sucked but glad to see that it's not only that. The game is harder than previously, but that is good.

I don't like that there are so many character-specific challenges in this. I don't want to clear All Star on Hard with Duck Hunt Duo!

I just bought a ticket to London for next week and I plan on buying an amiibo as the prices in England are about 2/3 of the price in Denmark I think - but which store in London should I head into to find games and amiibo the cheapest (in general)? And what is the retail price of amiibo?

You bought directly from eShop? Because buying the game digitally from elsewhere wouldn't let me pre-download it, despite what I was told earlier. Downloading now but it takes a hell of a time, even with a 40 mbit connection it is really slow. Is there any way to see how fast something is downloading? (It says 2:02 on the downloads screen! )

So apparently, the pre-download-thing only works when buying directly from eShop. I got the activation code from Game (quite the hazzle!) and it wouldn't go through when entered on eShop - it said that I would have to wait until after the release date. That's a bit of a bummer but I'll just set it to download tonight at midnight - I wouldn't play it until before tomorrow anyway.

When do you usually receive download codes from Game.co.uk ?

Maybe it's because you lean to much forward when putting it down. Try raising the bar a bit above ground by putting two plates under it before lifting. And remember to push with your heel and use the toes for balance.

You seem to forget that they mentioned the Man of Steel in this episode of The Flash! :P

No, I haven't bought that one. It seems a bit weird. Bought most other techniques, though.

This is true to me as well. It will require a lot more time for me to click with this battle system, I am terrible at dodging and even though I manage to get Silver on most battles, it only happens after a few tries. Someone compared playing Bayonetta to playing music, you need to feel the rythm and this may be the reason for my difficulties: I'm very a-musical, simply can't follow a beat for the life of me even though I've had years of practice in gymnastics but I cheated here, just counted the seconds instead of the beats. I do appreciate it somewhat, though. It feels great to have a good battle and just throwing combos everywhere. One major gripe, though, is that it is bloody hard to target the right enemy. I had this particular trouble in one specific section with three boats that lines up in a later chapter. It took me a good 15 tries before I was lucky enough to beat them. Next chapter for me is one of the last so hopefully I can go forward to B2 soon enough.

That was indeed awesome. Actually, this episode had a lot of laughs, way more than usual.

Do you think it'll come in a gold coloured cartridge again?

After throwing the controller away in frustration in Chapter VI after dying to Grace and Glory 20+ times, I read something online: you can buy new combos and stuff... So I bought some new techniques before the next battle against Joy and a lot of enemies, and they went a lot better - I actually got an 8.8 combo score there. I'm getting stone on every chapter, though, but I've come to a point where I don't care. I'm still getting Silver or above on each battle, but I have a hard time surviving from battle to battle. Thanks for the tips, though!

I'm playing the first one for the first time at the moment. I really don't know what to think about it. On the one hand, I do appreciate the effort they put into it and the fighting itself is alright but on the other, it just feels so random. I'm hating the Awards you get after each chapter, they really make me sad! I'm doing OK in battles (not good, but getting >= Silver for the most part), however, I also die 5+ times each chapter because there are no healing items whatsoever between battles and dodging is rather hit and miss for me. And those Alfheim Challenges rooms - just... what the f...? I have no idea how to complete the ones with limited kicks and punches. I'm tempted to just give up and go straight to 2 instead. I'm currently at the beginning of Chapter 6.

21s = 7 reps, 3 times, where the first 7 reps are from bottom to halfway up, the next 7 are from halfway up to up, and the last 7 are all the way? They are painful as fuck - and thus delightful!

Yes. Especially if the intensity isn't so high, I yawn as well. It's probably because your muscles need the air. I also yawn a lot during work - not because I'm sleep deprived or bored but simply because the air isn't good quality and my muscles demand quite a lot of air (I think, this is a theory but if less people is in the room, I don't yawn as much). By intensity, I mean the interval between sets - high intensity = less interval between sets. --- On another note, I started treatment for my groin problems with a physician today. It was slightly different from what I expected. He told me to take off my clothes and bend over... Well, he examined me and found out that I had an oddity in the bone structure in the region that he would fix. He did. And then he gave me acupuncture. That surprised me, I've always thought of it as hogum but I accepted it because, why not? Now I'm quite sore in my inner thigh. Looking forward to seeing if it has helped.

I don't mind them splitting up the last movie into two. I dislike that there is a whole year between - they do film it at once so the time between could be less.

I just finished this yesterday. I really enjoyed it, the story was just far better than that in AC and even AA. The only complaint I have is that Deathstroke appeared too early in the story and was defeated too easily whereas the likes of Firefly and Copperhead had bigger roles. I find that disappointing because Deathstroke is really far more interesting as a character than the other two. I don't think I had any problems with the combat timing alterations but I might have had - I just put anything down to my own skills. Still need to do some of the side quests but I don't want to go find all the RIddler Datapacks this time around. Now I'll move on to Bayonetta 1 on WiiU. Really looking forward to that.

Got my hip checked again yesterday and had an X-ray taken. No problem with the bones at all so that's good. It seems to be a problem with the groin, something many soccer-players experience. So now I at least know what's wrong and can get the proper help from a physician. This makes me happy. The doctor said that I could be pain free in a couple of months.

I'm also on that boat. Whilst I don't think it's more fun than ordinary Smash Battles, I do wish that the time limit could be removed, and I also wish that you could choose which game type should be the final battle.

Those are perhaps the ugliest glasses, I've ever seen....

In Smash Run, I just got "Climb to the top" with Ganondorf. Damn that randomness! I did win, though.
