It's still for weird minded individuals. Wow, GS sure does have a lot of freaks.

It sure it great that you want to admit your intolerant to certain ideas. :roll:

Have you even played the demo or anything? Otherwise, do you base all your judgement off of a bit of footage and what people are saying in threads?

The game has themes that appear in many other games, what makes this one so weird? :?

The dude is trolling you, homie.

It's alright, I like to see how troll logic goes about answering certain questions. It is part of what makes SW so great.

What kind of grammar is that?

Alright buddy, I guess you gave up, thats fine.

If it was what you said, a reputable source like IGN would never give it a 9 and talk about what a great game it is. I give you a 4.5/10.

you have to have something wrong with you to play it.

CBR600-RR

Why? There have ben countless games in the past with content that is far more agravatting, dramatic and down right insulting than sex.

Just because you're insecure regarding sexual content, doesn't mean every other dude out there is. I'm sure you'll be more open minded wen you're more used to .. well, reality, as a whole.

I've also checked wikipedia out of boredom, your impressions regarding the game are factually wrong, the story is very interesting.

No I haven't nor do I intend to. It's basically an animated porno, same with any game with pornographic features; you have to have something wrong with you to play it.

You must watch some extremely boring porn then :? I don't usually ever express any notion like this in any form but here goes:

The content of this game should'nt be offensive to anyone somewhat sexually experienced, unless they're very sensitive to the subject of intercourse. At least not if they have even the slightest hint of what they're going in to.

This game explores sexual dilemmas, I appreciate that a hell of a lot in a business where this subject is usually tackled with Shepard rubbing against someone wearing a mask and a full body suit. I'm just happy that one game attempts to be a little mature about sexuality for once. Don't we want the media to be taken seriously?

I find it disturbing when it's perfectly acceptable to chainsaw enemies in half because it's cool, while a pair of breasts will ensure an 18+ rating.

Edit: I almost ranted about being comfortable with one's own sexuality and the subject in general but I don't really need more modifications ;)

Yeah, seriously. Books, film, TV shows, all other forms of media, go deep into concepts of marriage, cheating, relationships, etc. Why is it so bad now that you have control over how it plays out?

The story is very interesting and handles mature themes very well. The characters are instantly believable, better most of the guys that come out this gen. People should give this game a chance the demo is more fun than I expected it to be.

I don't really watch it, but if I did it would have to be the one similar to YouTube. Porn is boring anyway, my other half substitutes that.

It's because it's animated that it makes it weird.

It's too bad a mature take on sexual themes in a game is the one that is ragged on the most by gamers themselves. I bet the same people complaining about this as a "Sex game" probably defended Mass Effect up and down the wall when the controversy came at it. Unique games with a mature take on a hard subject, and being awesomely fun to boot. It's too bad it probably wont get the apreciation it deserves.

You mean animated like a game, or animated like anime?

Like, if Bioware made this exact game with the Mass Effect art sty1e, would it be okay?

Animated like a game, just like any other game that exploits sexual themes. In League of Legends they put emphasis on the boobs of the women characters.. why? It's just weird.

[QUOTE="dommeus"] If I got stuck on a puzzle in a game with a strong narrative I would be f***ing furious, since I would likely never find out first hand how the narrative played out.Jynxzor
Great thats motivation to get better. A good game should motivate you to surmount the challenges it faces you with. Not hold your hand down the lolypop lane and not even challenge you. That defeats the purpose of being a game.

tbh I kind of agree with him. Look at Demons Souls. The games combat is an incentive to play, but dying all the time makes it boring before coming up with a rewarding strategy to actually get through it. One reason why it continues to collect dust on my shelf while other games get play. (That and I think its the most boring game i've played all gen). I wouldn't really worry about it though. Atlus has already taken measures to ensure people who want to enjoy the story can. (Easy mode even explains this) I'll probably do easy and then progress to harder modes and I suggest that other user do the same if he wants to just play the story.

If anything the story of the game feels a lot more Western than Japanese, it just uses an anime style (which is gorgeous in this game by the way)

oh lawd, well im sure i wont change your mind but im curious what youll say to this reply, your replies are coming accross like you really havent researched the game and as such are forming an opinion based off of the games cover art alone, the game deals with sexuality and cheating on a significant other, those are extremely adult subjects and the fact that theyre portrayed in an anime-esc world should not make the game "weird" its not porn on a disk as you have implied, its far from it really, i recall a certain news station trying to say that a certain game on a certain system was basically just interactive porn, which sounds kind of similar to what you are trying to say, but what you havent done yet is show any proof to the pornographic nature of the game, and as the accuser the burden of proof falls upon you :)

Yeah, yeah, and i feel you on that, the thing is though you're wrong regarding this game, just check on the god damn wikipedia. Its a mature themed story about relationship dilemas with a interesting story to boot, man. It's a whole different thing, fact is, if you were right, i would agree with you. But you're wrong.

I played the demo of the game and from the demo and just other things I have seen, I have no interest in this game. The game really just doesn't appeal to me.

Cheating is not an adult subject, it's childish, I was cheated on once and dealt with it like a man and like any other man should do.

Why would I want to play a game that deals with these kind of subjects? I'd rather read a book on it instead.

it's for sad anime fans who want to fap to a videogame

I'm not an anime fan nor do I want to fap to videogames, but I'll admit that I'm pretty sad that I won't really have the time to play it with my work schedule :(

why does any game that is slightly different get hate threads?

it's no wonder we have loads of games that are copying from eachother coming out... and then people complain about that to.

most games like this are said to be "boring", which usually means it takes a bit more time and thinking to play.

Just finished playing the demo and I liked it. It gave me a Persona feeling to it and that's what I was expecting. And it looks pretty weird which is always a plus for me!

Having been playing Portal 2 recently, all I can say is I kinda get the same vibe from playing the demo of Catherine. Main difference being there is an animated movie-ish story between puzzle levels in Catherine. Controls probably didn't feel as smooth as Portal 2, but just playing to solve puzzles (and CAtherine looks to have more emphasis on time than Portal 2) is fun in itself. Personally, like I did with Portal 2, I'll most likely wait out till it's cheaper.....if it ever comes to EU/UK.

So you don't actually watch porn, that makes you unqualified to comment on it.

Please refrain from commenting further on your personal sexlife, I don't care what your significant other substitutes.... You can be the best or worst lover to ever exist, I don't care.

The game is obviously a commentary on sexuality, psychologically as well as physically, I'm intrigued and anticipates what it has to say.

To me, the intricaties of sexuality is an adventure more complex than any amount of chainsaws and there is much to explore, especially if you include violence.

Catherine might actually be mature in the true sense of the word, leave prejudice out of this discussion please.

In this generation, if the game isn't full of explosions, guns, swords, laser swords, laser guns, zombies, zombies on fire, post apocalyptic background, warzones, blood and gore, and most importantly, guns, it's not good.

It's like the worst demo I ever "watched"...seriously climbing boxes and watching crappy anime? This game is going to be horrible.

chikenfriedrice

I agree with you actually, the game just looks wierd. I have no idea who the target audience of this game is and I'm sure I don't want to know either. Plus there are other games that attract my attention and this game just looks like a repetitive box climbing game with some bad hour long cutscenes. I'll pass thank you.

not really a system wars topic.
