Great article, Patrick. It was an interesting read, though I don't think I'm going to play it, being seventeen and not really having any commitment issues of my own to deal with. I don't think it would resonate with me that much. And on Jeff's review, it's his own personal opinion on the game. I fail to understand why people need to complain about it, saying it was way too low. If you've played the game and enjoyed it, you shouldn't need to have Jeff (or any reviewer) justify your feelings for it, you know? If you like it, thats cool, there are lots of people out there who like it too. Jeff doesn't. It doesn't need to be all that upsetting.
Listen man, I don't feel the need to have my opinions justified with a review. What a bad review does mean to me, though, is that people will look at a review with 2/5 stars and say "well, I'm not going to bother playing this game." regardless if it really is a good game. And Catherine is an excellent game, from what I've played of it. It is one thing to not like a game, but at least you can give it a fair review. By the by, I do realize that this is not the actual review of Catherine on this site, and I think that what was said above was fair, but I think you can understand what I'm getting at.
First off, I'd just like to say that no, I haven't beaten Catherine yet. The fact that I'm a highschooler probably has something to do with it - with my current budget, I got the game a week late, and I don't really want to play the game while my parents are in the house (because that's just well, awkward). But what I can say is that from what I have played (At the clocktower right now) I have thoroughly enjoyed (and yes, that includes the block puzzles, which I have been playing on normal mode, and are really not that difficult) and I really can't understand why people keep giving this game such a hard time. I mean, yes, I haven't seen this supposed out of place ending, but I really don't see how one can hate on an ending for being a really weird twist. I mean, you should practically expect that from a game made by the Persona Team. I know I did.
D'you really think it'll come out on 360? I've got to assume that regardless of the minority vocal fanbase (which this site is a part of) Persona games don't sell a ton outside of Japan. In Japan there are practically no 360's as compared to PS3's, so I can't see a big incentive for Atlus to create a 360 version as well as a PS3 version.
They made Catherine for 360, and Persona is a way bigger title (considering that Catherine is arguably only as big as it was due to people who saw the advertisements and announcements and said "oh! this is made by those guys who made Persona!") I think it's got pretty good chances of coming out for 360. Not that it matters to me, I've got a PS3
I hope that's the opening theme! it's so catchy! This looks amazing! I could watch it again and again. I'm not to worried about the japanese voice actors, I'm sure a dub will come
I'll try not to spoil anything here. Does anyone else think it would be awesome if you played as Elizabeth from persona 3, doing what she was hinted at doing in persona 4?
