Still fucked? thinking of picking it up, dude told me a patch fixed most stuff but he's Canadian so...

If you own a PlayStation 3, but have avoided buying the hot third-person brawler Bayonetta because of the widely known technical issues, a patch has been released to allow players to install the game onto the hard drive to alleviate frame rate issues.

This online update allows the game to be installed onto the console’s hard drive which significantly decreases the loading times for the game. The update will be automatically downloaded by PlayStation 3 users when they launch Bayonetta.

   

Oh aye, those damn Canadians and their mischievous deception!

It's perfectly fine. I had concerns about it too, but while to may not be as smooth as the 360 version the patch they released fixed it to a point where you won't notice except for a few specific areas [the falling clock tower in the beginning is the worst it will ever get]

I found the PS3 version to be highly playable AND enjoyable... who gives a shit if the loading times took an extra few seconds... this did not detract from my gameplaying experience at all.

Still ass. It has decent load times now, and doesn't need to load for like ten seconds when you pick up an item, but it still chugs, and looks ugly.

I should try the Xbox 360 version sometime. I have the PS3 version, but that's because I didn't have an Xbox 360 at the time I bought this game.  Regardless, I still like the game a lot.
