    I'm hyped for the story but not for the crazy climbing puzzle that looks like no fun parts.

    I'm not really interested in the puzzle; I'm more interested in the story, hence why I'm not exceptionally psyched for it.

    It's weird, given that I haven't even played it, but I'm kinda past Catherine.. and Katherine for that matter :o. There's been a fair bit of coverage already, and with so many trailers at this point, I'm already exhausted. It's more likely a 2012 purchase for me.  

    EDIT: Not to mention that the allure of Catherine was for how mysterious it was. Now that its design is fleshed out it's revealed to be something considerably less appealing.

    It's pretty much my game of the summer, so I'm more than hyped enough to blow money on Deluxe Edition's for both platforms. Vote with your dollars and all that.

    Half and half. I'm looking forward to the storyline but I haven't been really sold on the gameplay. It seems boring to me. Of course I will give ti a shot to give the game a fair assessment it deserves. I'm curious though they took it in this direction.

    Got it pre-ordered. I like how underneath all its silly japanese presentation its in essence a very mature, psychological story. We gotta support new, crazy IP, vote with your wallets people!

    Yep, pre-ordered the Limited Edition close to when it was announced. I'm as excited for the story as I am for the actual gameplay, because I enjoy puzzle games and the mechanincs of Catherine appear very interesting to me.

    I don't get hyped about games all that much. And I'm not sure I want to spend full retail for this (or any game, for that matter). I want to play it, but I'll wait for a sale or price drop.

    @tearsinrain: I won't be able to afford it at full price either -- but that's not unexpected on my budget for any games -- however, like most others in this thread, I'm looking forward to getting my paws on it. ξ

    My excitement peaked about a month or two ago, and it's slowly been going down the more I see of it. I'm sure it will be a fine game, but the pop has subsided.

    Me neither, but the reaction to that throwaway comment to an unkown website by people was hilarious. As was the reaction when the game was hinted as being released here.

    I'm one of those rare breed of people that cared about Atlus games before Jeff and Vinny did the Endurance Run, hell, I still haven't watched it. 
     
    Catherine is one of my most anticipated games of the year, already pre-ordered the Special Edition and I quite enjoyed the gameplay from the Japanese demo.

     I like how people assume just because of the puzzle platforming the assumption is that puzzle = terrible. When it's the best part of the game. Frustraiting yes, but rewarding, fuck yes.

    I'm super stoked for this game, puzzles and all, it all seems interesting to me.  Also for those of you saying you wanted a persona, remember that Atlus is using this game to test their new engine for a new persona.  But for now we get to enjoy a different but still totally awesome game.
