Aren't the costumes just a fun optional thing?  You guys literally are complaining just to complain. 

Complaining is fun.

Well i'm not complaining about the game at least. I think the thing with the costumes shows the difference between how Sega operates and how the old enemy..Nintendo operates. Nintendo is always good at selling their characters...while Sega is always good at letting the people who make games for them do whatever they want. Its both companies greatest strengh and greatest weakness...

I can confirm that Bayonetta 2 still has SEGA references in it.

So can i..having just got thru the game...
 
I think some people are sore about how blatant the Nintendo references are compared to the Sega ones in the first game...
However as i mentioned before Nintendo always did things like that.

Played the demo and died repeatedly during the big monster fight. I need some practice! Might pop in the first game on the 360 just to warm up.

I will say this...Its not the same playing this game as it is on the 360 or PS3. It just seems..out of place. Idunno if that's just my personal feeling..but i've played the first title on this as well which amplified my feeling of the game not really connecting on this platform.

Same here. I had forgotten as well how amazing this whole franchise is. It's probably also because I havent played a huge action game like this in a long time. I think it also has to do with how much better bayo 2 feels. I think it animates more smoothly. Like theres an addition of frames making everything look a lot more fluid

Bayonetta 2 is 60fps whereas the original was 30, I believe.

Interesting. Somewhat gives credence to the rumors that the game was developed mostly as a Sega title, or that Sega was involved with the game after ninty picking it up. I have a hard time believing Nintendo would voluntarily drop Sega references into the game themselves.

IIRC, Xbox version was 60fps (or near it) and PS3 was 30fps or less even. I felt bad for PS3 gamers at the time.

I meant the frames in all animations. Not framerate. For example the dodge animation just feels more complete and fluid compared to bayo 1 which now may feel stiff in comparison. I dunno.

Got the game pre ordered and am going to play 1 again before i start with 2. Is gonna be a good winter!

It's funny, but one thing I'm looking forward to the most is the music. I heard a bit of the 'Tomorrow is Mine' theme and it sounds great, then I listened to the old 'Fly me to the Moon' cover and remembered how amazing it was.

Oct 24 can't come soon enough. Hell, I'm even hyped for the demo at this stage!

Is that really the same thing though? People knew that BAYONETTA was a Sega game..IE a Sega game made by PG who made their debut under the Sega banner. Also a lot of the references were subtle.
The diference here is that Bayonetta is wearing Nintendo costumes et etc and its way too much in you're face as compared to the Sega game where the references were more clever and didn't detract from the game.

Yeah, people know it's a SEGA game hopefully (although I have seen many people assume it's now a Nintendo franchise), but I'm sure there are fans out there who thought the references to SEGA were a bit much too (other than the "Eggman" reference, I was okay with all of the references), as there are sadly people who don't like SEGA (experienced a few in my time).

If Nintendo's costumes become mandatory in the story or are required to get other weapons in the game, then I'll have a problem with it, but as far as I know, they've only shown them on Nintendo Direct to hopefully move more units for the more mature Nintendo fans out there (no idea how many there are, probably not a lot).

All in all, I am happy the game exists and the other stuff is just extra.

I can confirm that Bayonetta 2 still has SEGA references in it.

I saw the Biplane cutscene in one of the trailers and thought of the Tornado.
Big fan of Claymore, Miria in particular.

Currently playing Yakuza 0.

Reviews are extremely positive so far: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=911321

Perfect scores from Edge, Gamespot and Joystiq. Only site that hasn't given it at least near a 9/10 is Polygon because Polygon lol.
