HeXiGON RELOAD!: The last of the amazing Bayonetta news!! Well, maybe.. http://bit.ly/ss5QSX In this entry I talk about the 1 of 1,500 Bayonetta guns that arrived today.
Just curious, but where are you getting this 1500 gun figure from? That strikes me as awfully low. Game here in the UK (a rather large retailer chain) offered guns as a pre-order bonus with regular copies of the game. Or is it just 1500 with the box (the nice box as we discussed in your other thread)? I personally have 5 guns, one Game pre-order with crappy box, and 4 like yours with the proper box. If you're after a decent art book, Bayonetta The Witch of Vigrid is ok imo (athough only 70 odd pages iirc) but doesn't have much concept stuff. In fact most is just images from the game. Actually not that great lol. http://www.amazon.co.jp/BAYONETTA-W...81/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1319706169&sr=8-12 This looks better but I'm yet to receive my copies so can't really comment. http://www.amazon.co.jp/ベヨネッタ設定資料集-...6132/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1319706169&sr=8-9 And for soundtracks... http://www.amazon.co.jp/BAYONETTA-O...6FVY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1319706169&sr=8-3
About the 1,500 figure I got it from a limited edition database. Where most limited editions have information about how they're made and how many were produced. It maybe mass produced, but from the only information I could really find was that site.:shrug: Thanks for the link for the art book, it's weird to see not much concept art in it though.. I might get it
Got a link to that database. I'd really like to see some definitive word on numbers if possible. (It's not that collectorsedtion.org site is it? Woeful place FULL of errors.)
Well yeah it is, apparently quoted to SEGA :< http://collectorsedition.org/game-db/bayonetta-climax-edition-360-pal Were else could we find more information though? I read it some where else too, but who knows how good sources are..
Well the Sega press release doesn't provide numbers. So unless Sega spill the beans then I guess we won't know for sure. 1500 seems shockingly low to me though. A site full of errors that states Total production is said to be around 1,500 units worldwide is hardly proof. Regardless, it's a lovely item. What do you think of the game itself?
That sucks... I don't see much around complete, anyway thanks for alerting me on a shocking a site.. I haven't played much of it actually, this weekend I will be. I've played the first two chapters and I loved it. Have you completed the game?
Well the site isn't shocking lol, but does seem to have lots of missing current gen info / inaccuracies. The general core info is usually good from what little I have looked at. I guess the issue I really have is they seem to dither on some items where facts really are known, yet on other items where facts aren't they seem to state things categorically. (As for not seeing many around...well it did come out almost two years ago. At release Ebay was full of guns for sale, 100s and 100s) I adore Bayonetta. Put in several hundred hours on it and still feel I am nowhere near even a decent level of skill. Such a great game. Finished it numerous times (all difficulties save very easy and easy which I've never touched). Yet to finish the Lost Chapter. Get up to last verse usually but die after a few waves. It needs quite a time commitment unless you're stunning at the game, and the cheap way to regain health on each wave is a little too boring / time consuming (especially if you have to replenish nigh on two full health bars like I do on the later verses / waves!). Plus I refuse to whore 'that' combo (Kilgore / Durga switch (glitch?) combo). Being a bit of Sega fanboy helps as well, the game is full of Sega glory year refs (and many others). Certainly my favourite game this gen from those I've played, albeit that Gears 1-3 have had a lot more of my time. In fact Bayo makes it into my personal greatest ever games / games I cannot possibly live without list, taking it up to 5! The only downer was that it ended. But even then...well you'll see this weekend hopefully. Stunning game.
I haven't seen many guns on eBay for a while, which is why I rushed into buying this one. Mainly the Climax Edition with just the book+cd goes for around $50-$100AU which is quite surprising. The game it's self goes out at $20 in stores around me. I was told about this game from people in my class, so I thought I'd buy it that day (can tell I don't think many things through) I loved the game any how, and it's great that I have a complete collection of the limited edition.
id been after one for months and couldnt find the one with the fancy box so i gave up then back in august for my birthday i got a gift off my girlfriend who had tracked down one of them with the fancy box which is now proudly with the rest of my gaming collectables still boxed/sealed
Very lucky! Your girlfriend seems like a smart woman, very awesome gift. Hopefully you have it out on display
