I think Famitsu gave it something a series of scores of 9,9,8 and 9. It met with a great critical reception.AC10 said:
Atlus' New Catherine Screens Tease and Titillate
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Was watching a trailer of this at school with friends. Im the only one who wants to buy this because im the weird one out of my friends 
Okay, approach number 2, mister pessimist. The team behind the game. They have a great track record.AC10 said:
I agree with Red Eyes.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
the Persona series developers never went lazy on their work despite going extra famous on japan with Persona 3.
And their games always have a higher quality than most JRPGs around.
I don't think they went lazy on this one either. I have faith in them.
The presence of the echoes of subconscious thought splayed against the framework of a dream mostly.Fightgarr said:
I always thought it was a goat rather than sheep, but the symbolism is still fairly shallow- what kind of qualities do you associate with sheep? When you call someone sheepish what do you imply?
And yeah, that aside, this is probably the first game I've actually regarded with a measure of interest that I haven't had since oh...
Starcraft 1?
This really HURTS (Believe me if you could see my collection of ATLUS games you'd understand why, faithful? At the very least....) but I have to agree with you. I was really hoping for something like the greatness I experienced with the original Persona or the originality of Etrian Odyssey but this is just giving me the entirely wrong vibe. They describe gameplay as "Block puzzle combat." and they just did a DS game like that last year. The relationship "dynamics" don't really grab me but then maybe they made a relationship conflict game for people who didn't get to deal with that in physical reality? Yet why would you want to take the WORST aspects of a relationship and put them in a game? Sorry ATLUS I won't be coming with you on this one, besides if I want weird but cool I'll play My World My Way, and I swear it's not just that you're competing with the Green Lantern game that month. Well, mostly.believer258 said:
Awhile ago ATLUS sent the faithful an e-mail that asked if we still liked them, apparently it had something to do with them NOT bringing Catherine to the States. Hey ATLUS I still really really like you as a FRIEND, and I think well, your an entity that I view more like a little brother or sister...it's just.....y'know it's me really, it's not you.....I just I dunno I think I need space right now....
Interestingly enough, I didn't guess "rape" until my fourth try.DanDeFool said:
I was like, "Is that... 'rage?' The arrow can make the stroke for a G I guess. No wait, the middle of the heart kinda splits, so it could be a V. 'Rave?' So this guy can party hard in pink, maybe? What the hell else can fit in there to make a word? C? Why the shit would he have a heart take the place in 'race?' Hold on, there's P! Rap-- oh. Ooooh. Classy, this guy. >_>"
"Western release"? You mean US release. I'm still waiting for the day EU gets a release date at all. Why, Atlus, why? I love you and everything you make. Why must you abandon me so often! It's like an abusive relationship. But I still love Persona... ;_;
Guy juggles two girlfriends while dealing with complex forces which may kill him as a result of one of them?
..........but y'know...with tits
Could you please leave actual data driven opinions out of this. These folks are trying to just act cool and bash on something.mireko said:
Geeze. Ruining people's fun!
I look at it like this. Guy A thinks he knows what he is talking about and avoids game, just leaves guy B a copy.
I enjoyed SMT quite a bit so I suspect I'll be pleased with this.
Plus I like just about every Atlus title I've played.
Just like I<3NY is code for Iony.War Pony said:
OH DEAR GOD IT'S A SEA LION CONSPIRACY!
I read it as "ra loves [blank]".
It must suck for anyone named Robert Atkinson who are in love with girls named Eliza.
Psychology is an interesting thing. If the first word I thought of when I saw "ra[blank]" was "rape!" I'd probably be concerned.
Ugh they need to make more games like Strange Journey/Devil Survivor on the DS. I bought Persona 3 and was totally shocked at how horrible it was. "Thou hast established a new social link for hearing obnoxious guy you don't care about talk about some thing you skipped". What happened to the demons? I couldn't play half-life 2 because the characters annoyed me. I probably just don't like characters interrupting my killing with their escapism banter.
I think it will fail because it looks like a game just based around sex appeal. It sorta annoys me that Atlus is doing this.....thing instead of a new Persona -_-AC10 said:
