Japanese Bayonetta gets patch, HDD install option photo

In Japan, PS3 Bayonetta players will see a new menu option tomorrow. This option will let them install Sega and Platinum Games' latest on their PS3 hard drive, cutting back on access/loading times. Single-speed disc drives will do that to you. Now you don't have to worry about it.

Any good Xbox 360 fanboy will rubt it in your face that they already had a Bayonetta HDD install option. Face, PS3 boy. Face. [I can't wait to see how many think I'm serious this time.]

Still on the fence on Bayonetta? Don't be. The first week word of mouth did it for me. I traded in a bunch of dogsh*t Wii games and got this. [More fanboy action for you.] Don't trust me or my Twitter feed's opinion? Check Destructoid's review of Bayonetta.

So why didn't they do that in the first place? Geez. I hope it won't take too long to come to the westerns.

I'd rather see a re-release will at least decent graphics for the PS3 version before I ever buy this...

Yay! Let's hope the american PS3 Bayonetta also get the HDD treatment! The game could use less loading times, the pause and inventory menu are kinda on the slowish side.

Also, Dale HOW DARE YOU suggest that my PS3 version of Bayonetta is inferior!? RAGE!!! It's really important that I feel my purchase is validated by other persons, it's not like Bayonetta on any platform is an awesome game regardless!!!

I was holding off on buying bayonetta because the port wasn't exactly on target, that and I wanted darksiders, TvsC,white knight chronicles, Star ocean 4 international, MAG,God of war 3, FF13, bioshock 2, I was happy I could knock something off the list.

However if they fix the western version as well I may have to reconsider.

The load times were the biggest issue preventing me from buying this on PS3. I'll happily pick it up if the patch is released for the other versions too.

It's something you can definitely get used to. It's just annoying when you *accidentally* pause during a fight – especially when you're really into it.

Still, I wouldn't mind an HDD-install-option. ASAP.

Thanks to you dickheads who whine about 5 minute mandatory installs, I've wasted a good couple of hours longer than any person should on Bayonetta's loading screen.

This is welcome news.
Mandatory installs are a blessing. If you can't wait a couple of minutes to play a game after putting it in the console, then you have some serious issues.

The loading screen is alright to me because you can see and practice all your moves, but having to wait several seconds after pressing SELECT or START on the field is very annoying.

Also, what's better than white or black is having the option between white and black. :)

That header is the best Bayonetta related anything. Seriously. It's awesome.

As for the game I'll pass. I like the character, the idea, and the universe but the game is just too button mashy for my taste. I was pretty bummed put because I really want to love it. Maybe when it's cheaper and I have more time.

Well there is probably a little bit of engineering and an SCEA pass, shouldn't be too long.

Playing Darksiders in the meantime. Do want me some more Bayonetta, though.

Cool, I guess. The loading is a bit annoying, but it's dealable. At least between levels you can practice your moves.

Loading to get to an options screen is just painful though.

So. Is it weird that I actually dreamed of this feature being available to me tonight?

Creepy.
