I had to move the player back to make sure I really did see a butt monster, and I sure wasn't seeing things!

I'm super excited that Catherine is finally here, quirkiness and all! I've been waiting for this game for quite a while and I'm definitely getting it right after work.

I was thinking about getting this game, but that statement...coming from someone who has a vajayjay...makes me have second thoughts.

I am of the belief that those who inherit and carry the Y chromosome are the primary scourge of the universe.

.....

I don't know if I should laugh or weep.

I think there should be a drinking game with this, every time you see something creepy or too weird, take a shot! But I fear my liver might be a casualty in this.

Well, be fair...Vincent is fighting monsters in a nightmare, after all. They should be creepy, no?

Get the game, it's brilliant. Totally effed up, but brilliant. :)

I would expect nightmares of this caliber coming from Suda51. Atlus, usually, doesn't take things THAT far. On another note...

I have to wonder why game companies don't use these lines to sell their product, because that bolded sentence right there...sold me. Thank you, Susan!

Dude, did you play Persona 4? Seriously wacked out monsters in that one. The stripper with a satellite for a head? Distuuuurrrrbbbiiiinnnngggggg.

Yes, I did, and here's why, to me, that...thing...in Catherine is more disturbing than anything in Persona 4:

In Persona 4, the imagery used represents certain things about monsters and characters. For instance, that stripper you just mentioned? Satellite = attention getter, and that, basically, is what a stripper is. And let's not get started about Kanji's imagery...that could seriously freak people with a lesser willpower out.

Now, in Catherine you have that vajayjay/butt monster. This game revolves around choices made in relationships, sexual and emotional feelings. When I see that chasing after someone...in a nightmare setting...I'm almost embarrased to say this...

That could freak me out to the point where all I'll ever do is buy plastic vajayjay and forego burning that image into every woman I will ever meet again.

Got my 'Love is Over' edition today. I just beat the 4th set of puzzles and I'm really enjoying it. Little features like the morality bar changing Vincent's actions in cutscenes has helped to sell it for me.

And yeah after seeing the monster Susan mentioned...my god. I'm gonna be creeped out by that thing for a while.

Oh and my brother and his friends have made me play the game wearing nothing but the boxers. Good stuff.

I'm pretty sure I'll be picking this game up this week too - Its looks too interesting not to play, and I'm a sucker for an Atlas game I can get my hands on since I played my first Persona!

Hrm, I'm probably going to go through Easy difficulty first, and then go another playthrough on Normal difficulty. Is there a substantial difficulty gap between the settings or does either mode have its own fair share of hair-pulling moments?

Huh, so they just decided in the past few days that it'll be getting an official release over here. Now I don't know whether to wait or just go ahead and import it.

I'm not usually a fan of games that come with warnings such as "frustrating" and "really hard" but in this case I suspect it'll be over-ruled by the sheer uniqueness of the thing. I like me some crazy.

The difference is massive. Not to the story, of course, but I actually found the Easy settings to be extremely unsatisfying. They were SO easy that the puzzle sections felt pointless.

Admittedly, I didn't play through the entire game that way, but I wouldn't have wanted to. A steep incline of difficulty would bring Easy up to "mildly vexing" at best.
