Awesome, thanks for the input. Going all in on Disgaea 3 for vita, kind of lame it's 39.99 instead of the 34.99. I thought all digital games were going to be discounted?
I just got a Vita and wanted to get disgaea, but i'm wondering if I could play any of the PSP ones before jumping into the 3rd game on Vita. Also is there a significant difference in visuals since they are all ports?
I don't know if Catherine was necessarily "overlooked", but I feel like it deserved more attention and discussion.
If a 12 year-old played this game, they just wouldn't get it. As pretentious as that sounds, it's true. It's a game that forces you to answer mature questions about adult situations, and can really cause you to question your own interests and motivations. There are a lot of choice-driven games these days, but what differentiates Catherine from a Mass Effect or Dragon Age is that it asks questions about you, and how you would approach a situation--not your character. I could really identify with Vincent (who is a deeply flawed character), and I felt like I was truly able to mold his persona to match my own.
The gameplay was meh, but other games could learn a lot from the way Catherine made you invest in the narrative.
Agreed, I would have kept playing endlessly just to hang out in the bar.
