Hentekorino Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 What are the issues with the game? Only heard of too much loading times and slowdown issues, are they really that bad? Any other issues? Trying to decide whether I should get this for the 360 or PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sui99 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 if you have the option get it for 360. the loading times alone would be reason enough but the 360 version is superior in every aspect... (better graphics, better framerate, no slowdowns, no tearing, faster loading) i'm enjoying it on ps3 because i dont own a 360 and i still have fun with the game but why should one get the inferior version if he has a box?

Crazy Bat Guy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 The issues aren't nearly as bad as the reviews make it seem. The framerate remains solid most of the time and when it does drop the action is usually too hectic to notice. The load times can be annoying but are rare and the longer ones allow you to practice combos to pass the time. Even if the the 360 version runs a bit better you can still get it on the PS3 and have an enjoyable experience with the best action game of the decade.

MisThePig Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'm still hoping for a patch that will allow you to install the game to the HDD to cut the load times - I've gone back and forth about buying this so many times but having seen parts of a playthrough on youtube it seems to hold up ok. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagugulley Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 My question is, why pay full price for a rushed version of the PS3? And why pay for this game in general!? Have you guys even played the demo!? IT sucks soooo bad! Just wait till march and get God of War 3, or pick up Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labartu Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 My question is, why pay full price for a rushed version of the PS3? And why pay for this game in general!? Have you guys even played the demo!? IT sucks soooo bad! Just wait till march and get God of War 3, or pick up Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. No, I didn't play the Demo, but I played the Full Game, and I got the Plat. And I loved the Game. That sort of thing is called "Opinion" and, believe me or not, Opinions differ. So if you don't like it, do what you said, buy GoW 3 and be happy. And let other people, like me, purchase Bayonetta and then GoW3 to be happy.

Dynames Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I played the demo and loved it, I wasn't going to get the game at first just out of protest for a lackluster PS3 version but upon reading user feedback and playing the demo, I changed my mind. Reviewers tend to blow things out of proportion. My box is elsewhere at the moment so I couldn't get it on the Box even if I wanted to. I don't care for the God of War series, I think DMC turned me into a bit of a purist but I can see why people love GoW but I just can't get into it. PS3 takes my general gaming needs regardless. I only get exclusives on Box anyway and there aren't many that I care about. Gears being one of them. I have Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Master Ninja is kicking my ass so I done with it at the moment.

Shirokurou Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Actually the slowdowns don't seem that bad after you get used to them. But opening up the inventory takes a lot of time. Gameplay isn't slowed down in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hentekorino Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Goddammit was leaning towards getting it on the 360 but all the positive replies made me go back to considering buying it for the PS3. ...;_____________________________; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennen Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I own all the consoles out thus far, and I honestly have not booted up my Xbox 360 for about two months now. I just can't stand the clutter it appears to have just trying to cycle through menu's. Anything on the Marketplace that gets released that I might be interested in - I either pick up the same game on the PS3 or I just don't get it at all for the sheer irritation that it takes well over 2 minutes to scroll through advertisements and additional submenus just to get to the download options and then 2 additional minutes just to be able to select the game. I've grown to despise the 360 for this exact reason. Some games might run a little better on it, and in some scenarios, I will buy it for the 360. But I think in terms of Bayonetta, I had heard that the issues it had were going to be minimized for the Western release. Perhaps that's why the players experiences here are a little different from what the reviewers, whom likely played the unpatched Japanese version, were saying. That's my guess anyway. Regardless, I played the Demo, and if the Full Game plays like the Demo, I have no problem with what was going on. Would those of you whom have played the Full Version relate it to the Demo? Exactly the same in terms of loading and so on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castlehominid99 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I preorderred it and can't wait to get my copy I think that the slowdown and long loadscreens are the only problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxium Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I cant agree more with castlehominid99, the loading screens are an issue but when they infact do happen i just grab my beer or something of the sort. But there are 3 sorts of loading in the game. 1. One which you are preparing to enter the level either through a continue or saved game data. In the space created during that waiting time you can at least practice combos. 2. Loading of the Inventory. Now thats a real pain in the neck. Takes some time for it to load. (Only 1 i can complain about) 3. Loading of movie cutscenes. These can be skipped but it is kinda annoying that the transition from gameplay -> cutscene -> gameplay isnt fast but in anycase i dont mind. ###### Slowdown ###### The amount of enemies on the screen and the amount of detail in the background and foreground affects the slowdown in this game. I tried one of the special battle arenas yesterday and as soon as 8 enemies popped up my moves were a bit sluggish but i just activated witch time making everything alright once again. --- But all in all the game is challenging and i love the graphics, character and enemy models etc.. etc.. Its a nice purchase for ppl who love these sort of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_D_ZASTA Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I wish they would fix these problems, I could get it for Xbox but I would rather have it for PS3 but don't want to deal with the slow down. Guess I'll wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakayoyo Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm playing through the PS3 version. I'm about half way and I haven't really had any noticeable frame rate issues so far. I think the scaremongering in reviews is rather exaggerated. Yes, going to your inventory is a bit slow, but it's not like you do that all the time. Same with the load times, there's a wait at the start of the level but during play there isn't intermediate loading Compared to other games there is nothing wrong with this game. The 360 version may have the upper hand because it's even better but there is no reason anyone shouldn't play the PS3 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
