I’m thinking about changing my gamertag, but can’t decide between “Turboman Doll”, “Billy Nooooooo”, or “Det. John Kimble”. Gah decisions!!!

Nope. I doubt that’s ever going to happen.

So Catherine is seriously good thus far. Very heavy on the story, but I like the way it’s woven into it. That said, aside from the cutscenes you get as much of it as you want to put in, sort of like talking to people in RPG towns tend to be in the fact that it’s optional, but you often learn a lot about the game world or flesh out characters form doing it. And from what I’ve seen, your reactions to conversations and texts have definitely affected the story so far, even this early in the game. As for the puzzle scenes, they’re hard as shit and I love it. It’s like what would happen if you took Q-Bert and crossed it with a block-pushing game, then threw in a giant demon with a fork who wants to stab you with it. I’m playing on easy and I’ve died many times already. You don’t get that kind of a challenge much these days, except for games like VVVVVV (really, go get the Humble Indie Bundle) and Super Meat Boy. It also has that dangerous habit of making you want to see what is next, and you keep going “okay, I’ll do this and then go to bed”, but then find that two hours have passed.

Something else I appreciate is the way it really makes you think about certain things. It’s not just haphazardly crawling around or reacting to things, you have to approach stages with a serious plan in mind and think two or three moves in advance. It seems daunting at first, but the game has a method of teaching you new techniques through conversations that you’ll see and go “AHA! I wish I would have thought of that!”

So far my biggest gripe is that the marketing misrepresents the game. It’s not a big animated tit-fest like the advertisements seem to make it look, and I feel like that will turn people away from it. Give the demo a try if you like puzzle games. I know it’s only my first day playing it, but so far it feels very refreshing and original.

Glad someone else is enjoying it like I am.

The farther you get into the story too, the more the texts and such REALLY affect the storyline. I was really surprised (though I shouldn’t have been, the Persona guys did this game too) that it means to much and can change so much of the storyline.

Also, stay FAR away from hard mode unless you REALLY enjoy puzzle games. You can mess up, you will mess up and it will kill you. Most of the time one mistake you can recover from, but if you get to pushing/pulling blocks like crazy then you’re just going to have to go throw Vincent off the ledge and try again.

Seriously, unless you don’t mind using a guide or you’re really good at puzzle games, stay away from Hard mode everyone.

Jason Wilson in about 30 years at the end of the video, lol

DaRabidDuckie · July 27, 2011, 9:15pm

Shit, I thought that was him NOW…

iQuick · July 27, 2011, 9:48pm

So there’s apparently no way for me to change the thread title outside of getting a moderator to do it. This is bad juju.

Kankuri · July 27, 2011, 9:51pm

This one wins.

Speaking of Catherine, have you guys seen the collector’s edition? Hell, just seeing some of that stuff alone makes me want to pick it up.

Astaroth · July 27, 2011, 9:53pm

I wanna go to EVO one year just so everybody would be like, “Who’s this guy with his own chair? OH GOD HE’S BODYING EVERYTHING!” And then I get sponsored by Andy Capps Hot Fries.

DaRabidDuckie · July 27, 2011, 10:12pm

I spoke to someone about it shorty after the forum change, and I was told we’ll regain the ability to change thread titles after EVO. It had something to do with a new forum plugin.

I’m actually wearing the boxers and shirt right now. My french teacher loved the shirt.

Kankuri · July 27, 2011, 10:18pm

Lawl, that’s awesome. I think I’ll go to GameStop today and order a special edition. Knowing my luck, they’ll already have one for me. The manager knows me too well sometimes.

Hiryu02 · July 27, 2011, 10:21pm

I will most likely NOT make it to fight night tonight. I’m feeling very ill. Have fun with the ranbat.

Squabb, Jas, please give me a call when you guys have a chance. Thank you.

NeoBlood · July 27, 2011, 10:58pm

Duckie - that is grand news. Let us know post haste so that the thread may be redeemed.
