Catherine Special Edition Includes Underwear, Pizza Box

[Harry Mason]

Wow. I want this SO GODDAMNED BAD.

 

[NoDamnNames]

Is any one else really way creeped out by the first pic? It looks like an anime face photoshopped onto a real woman.

 

[MrGalactus]

This is frustrating me now. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS IT? I don't even know the genre. All I've seen are pictures of those two girls and Shaggy from Scooby Doo, I haven't seen even a single hint to it actually being a game other than that it's on the Escapist, but people are shitting their pants over it.
WHY?

Otakus every where rejoyes lol.

Getting PS3 version and seeing as I'm starting college this Fall that Catherine pillow case will be a NIIICCEEE conversation-piece for my future roommate.

>_> "Dude wth is that?"

<_< -_- "It's uhh, I-I don't even"

 

[13lackfriday]

Oh goodness...I almost went into shock when I thought of the political shitstorm including panties with an already hypersexualized game would stir up.

 

[Greyhawk]

I own neither Xbox360 nor PS3...and I will own this. My blood oath to Atlus compels me!

 

[Risingblade]

Ah No thanks, i I wanted a pizza box I would order a pizza, if I wanted boxers well hell I have a drawerful of them

 

[tacomonkey 360]

I really should not want this but kinda do.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

I think this one just removed Record of Agarest War from the top. Wow...

no. no it didn't. remember the mouse-pad? the mouse-pad WITH BOOBS?!?!

Indeed, but this one has underwear. And a rather disturbing pillow case...for grown men.

Best special edition ever. It's almost as if they're taking the piss, but in a way you don't mind. Shame I live in England, hopefully we get something equally weird. I seriously cannot wait for this game.

I live in england too, just have to preorder it from the US at gamestop, amazon US won't deliver to me for some reason. But now I want to change my order to get the special edition...

I wouldn't recommend importing from Gamestop. I've had bad experiences in the past when I imported Persona 3 Portable from them. Preordered it well in advanced, their system screwed up and when the game was released the order didn't get processed until I'd sent about 2 emails complaining. When it finally did ship out, it got caught by customs due to them sending it via courier. When it arrived at my door, it didn't have the preorder bonus(because it took them so long to process the order they'd gotten rid of all of the preorder bonuses) and the case was broken. Complained about it and all I got was a $5 discount. In total I spent around £45 I believe, when the item itself only costed £25. I'm certainly never ordering from them again.

lol i thought the underwear in question would be female and therefore creepy lol

 

[Tempest13]

Aw heck yes, 3 days before my birthday, AND in my size? They've got me with this.

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

I was getting it anyway. All this did was accelerate my desire for it. Atlus sure knows how to have FUN with their special editions

 

[Sabinfrost]

I'll get one, loved Persona. Besides, Atlus have earn't my trust over the years, one of the best small publishers out there

 

[Stevepinto3]

I was gonna say "WTF Japan" because I thought they meant women's underwear, which would be very creepy. But then I found out it was men's, so I'm like "OK, whatev's". But now I'm all like "Wait, it's cool for it to be men's underwear, but not women's? Is that sexist? What is wrong with me?"

So in short I'm confused as hell right now.

The Japanese limited edition was actually less weird, as it didn't contain any underwear or pizza boxes. Atlus USA made it weirder for American audiences. TRULY THIS IS THE FUTURE.

Did that help or did it make things worse?

That probably says something about cultural perceptions.

 

[Logic 0]

This game has polka dot boxers and pizza boxes I'm sold.

 

[vivster]

i don't get those special editions for brand new IPs
special editions ought to be meant for fans but with brand new IPs there are none (of the game anyway)

 

[mikev7.0]

I know as soon as some people hear the word Catherine and underwear, they are gonna pre-order immediately without even checking the contents of the Special Edition.

Spoiler: Atlus's face when

I already have the art book and soundtrack - from the Japanese version. ^.^
You haven't lived till you've had to outrun a monstrous baby while solving a block puzzle.

No boxers or pillowcases though.

Wait so you've actually played it? So can you tell me more about the gameplay than the site does because seriously, that thing is like a salt lick for pre-pubescent teens. It says nothing about the gameplay other than "block puzzle combat" and I'm not even sure what the heck that is?? So to me so far it's like a version of Steal Princess with the oversexualization ramped up to 14....

An' for the love of Nike would people PLEASE stop saying they're buying this to "support ATLUS" No. Sorry. Don't buy it. You want to buy a litesofthentai game your biz, but if what you say is true then where the hell were you when they released equally daring (but not sexual) games like, well MOST of what ATLUS has done but that I never see on threads here. Get serious, the only reason Catherine is getting this attention is the over sexualization. So most of you can knock off the "Supportive Faithful" crap. (Unless you actually own Dark Tower. In which case, you're a better man than I Gunga Din.) The over objectification is probably why I'll have to give this one a miss, I mean your date's gonna' see that pillow/art book at some point and yeah - have fun explaining how you're just supporting poor little ATLUS! *facepalm*

Oh and by the way ATLUS, yeah I love you but seriously, don't try to compete with GL, My support does have it's limits (Dark Tower)....

When I saw the headline about a special edition I was kinda sad since I had already preordered the regular edition through gamespot, but once I saw the SE's contents I was like meh, but now I get an art book and soundtrack regardless so Im happy!!!
