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.

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?

I preorderred it and can't wait to get my copy I think that the slowdown and long loadscreens are the only problems

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.

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.

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.
