It sounds like it has an interesting stroy. The game got a 9 at IGN.

... okay? you don't like it, so all you should have done is delete the demo and move on with your life, also i knew back when i played the japanese demo that this game was going to be a hit "going from ign's review" i mean all us guys can relate to the game in a way. So you didn't like it, cool, delete it and move on friend.

I was hoping it was an adventure game akin to Shenmue or Heavy Rain but I was very disappointed that its kinda like a puzzle game. Which is fine if you like that thing but its not what I was hoping for after finally doing some research.

I haven't played it and won't play it unless it keps getting good reviews. I heard about it for months and when I saw gameplay and he was climbing boxes, I was a little perplexed.

"What is up with this Catherine game?" It is a narrative-focused puzzle game. Something people who are used to hulking gorillas spewing more bullets than one-liners don't normally expect from a "video game." I'm slightly interested in the game myself, but am much more looking forward to El Shaddai. Literally the "God game."

I was expecting it to be some sort of JRPG before to be honest,but after I saw the actual gameplay I lost interest. May get it used or when it´s dirt cheap.

When Atlus announces P5 then I´ll be interested. :P

being in a relationship and asking myself do i really wanna be in this relationship for the rest of my life, etc etc , also its created by freaking atlus, the people who gave me persona 3 and 4 and devil summoner and all that, i don't care if Catherine gets a 5 here, i'm still getting it because i had fun with demo and atlus hasn't dissapointed me yet

Just because you're not aware of any other genres besides shooters, doesn't mean other genres like puzzle - platformers (such as this game), are bad genres.

First ME: :lol: Second ME: :lol: LotSB: *thumbs up* It took a little while, but the relationships seem to be getting deeper as the series goes on. In the first game, they are nothing but a means-to-an-end (the end being the sex scene). In the second game (for the most part) are just gratuitous sexuality for the sake of it (Tali notwithstanding). But Liara's relationship with Shepard in LotSB really changed things up, and added in some much-needed tension between them... and by the looks of Liara's outfit in the third game (she looks very similar to Samara, Justicar possibly?) it could go even further. But these baby steps are a good thing... because it means developers are actually taking romantic relationships seriously enough to want to capture that in a video game world. The "love triangle" in Catherine could step it up even further.

My gf loves the means to an end business though :P Her favourite thing about both games is the small talk and ''beating around the bush'' conversations, flirting etc.

It's a shame you can't appreciate Atlus. Meanwhile, I'll be enjoying it to its fullest. I'll never play the demo, though, it's all about the complete package.

I personally thought the demo was quite dull.
The only thing I like with the game so far is that the main character looks sexy.

I am disappointed that it's a mere puzzle game, too. But the narrative looks interesting. Might be worth a watch on Youtube, or perhaps a rental.

Saw excerts on neogaf of the GI review, sounds like a lot of "this game is too hard, I have filled my room with tears" sort of thing.

I for one embrace this game for it introduces a welcome breath of fresh air.

No offense TC, but if everyone in the industry thinks along your secluded visions, there would be a major decrease in terms of creativity which would impact the expansion of the gaming population.

(I liked the demo, am I an alien for feeling satisfaction in the process figuring out a puzzle under stress then guiding the story via texts and cutscenes? Different strokes no doubt)

It's got a different feel to it. Personally, I'm looking for something different to play, something out of my "comfort zone", so to speak.

IGN rates their games higher than the medium. But they do get too much unwarranted hate.

You're the 5th person to say this and tt wasn't funny or clever the first time someone said it. Just to let you know, it is possible for someone to like a game like Halo and like a game like this. Shocking, I know.

The thing is, SW sees SO MUCH bro-mentality shooter-love here and SO MUCH anime/anything different-is-so-lol bee ess that it seems like 99.9% of gamers today are of a hive-mentality that shuns ANYTHING that isn't a freaking shooter. Your op did nothing to differentiate yourself from that crowd.

Some of us are dying for something fresh and different, so it's no wonder ten other posters are of a similar mindset to what appeared to be nothing more than a troll thread that offered little real discussion.
