Between Catherine and Katherine, Who Would You Choose?

I wonder if the full English voice cast is out. Katherine kinda sounds like Yukari.

And when I say "I wonder", I mostly mean "I am going to hit Google to see". [edit] Let it be known in the comment thread for the last Catherine trailer I actually answered that question for somebody. So I already knew! I'm so smart!

Chie

Although I do like blonde, blue-eyed girls, Katherine is someone who has been with you over a longer period of time, and has your kid, so I'm going to be more attached to her.

I just want to climb blocks.  :(

GOTY

looks absolutely retarded

My thoughts exactly, Vincent.

Neither aaaaahhhhhhhhhh

I am more intrigued to play this now.

The voice Laura Bailey is known for is something I find MOST annoying. XD She has a less "Squeee" voice that sounds better. But anyway, I think Katherine is a bit saner.

I played the Japanese version to completion and don't recall any of the boxes violating Vincent or vice versa. Maybe it's in an alternate ending. There are boxes with creepy tongues in the game, so maybe! Just maybe!

I'm probably getting ahead of myself here. That being said, it's not as though Catherine is the first game to revolve around boxes or box-shaped objects. Certain seminal games from the 80s kinda sorta have copious amounts of block/box jumping and last time I checked, those games weren't exactly discounted for essentially being about jumping on top of "fucking boxes" for levels on end. Or maybe I'm wrong. Who knows! Maybe you hate those seminal games from the 80s, too, for that exact same reason, to which I would say, at least you're consistent in your dislike of games heavily revolving around boxes. I applaud that sort of intellectual steadfastness when one takes their belief and stretches them to their most plausible conclusions. It shows a real commitment to what one stands for, which, in the great debate about "to box or not to box" in video games, is quite a hefty load.

In my book, though, Catherine is as much about those boxes and only boxes as Tetris is about falling shapes and only falling shapes; you can technically say that, but in the case of the latter, everybody (probably) knows it's how those shapes get contextualized in the puzzles and gameplay mechanics that lend them their compelling power. Catherine is the same way. There isn't a whole lot to describe when it comes to its fundamental mechanics, but it's when you play it in practice that the depth makes itself apparent and becomes more than just being about those "fucking boxes." It's a game that prioritizes being a game first in that regard and there shouldn't be anything shameful if good gameplay can come in the form of those boxes which, in my experience with the game, is the case with Catherine. I'm probably biased after reviewing the game, though, so forgive me and my (hopefully polite) disagreement.

But I'm rambling, aren't I?

Everytime I see something start with K, I think of Mortal Kombat. I wonder why...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Katherine without a question.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I choose both. There seems to be no downsides to this.

Catherine, because Katherine sighs

Katherine.

Catherine.  Cause she's voiced by Laura Bailey who also voiced Rise in Persona 4

So she'll probably suck out your soul, send you to hell and turn you into a sheep man in your nightmares - gotta go with Catherine all the way, trailer:)

Neither. Because I don't play games about climbing fucking boxes.

I chose GLaDOS

This makes me want to stay single...

So? It's enough of an RPG for me to call it one.

How is this an RPG other than the fact you can text Catherine and Katherine and do side missions? This is one of the reasons the label "RPG" has been diluted into nothingness.

Katherine But because Catherine seems like a lot of work. And nuts to boot.

I choose the drill hair. Because I love me some drill hairs.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

AAAAHHHHHH
 
My answer would be Jeff

I love the few games that had voice actors record scenes *with* each other, not solo against already recorded voices. This doesn't seem.. :<

Glad to see this in english, Now I understand whats going on this time. lol.

You had me at Atlas.

Can't wait for this!

I choose anime scream.

No interest in this game, but:

Katherine - obviously. I d literally love to have a lady to get serious with and have a little munchkin.

What? No. Laura Bailey voiced Rise in Persona 4. I've never seen anyone claim she voiced Chie. It is true that Judovits did not voice Chie, though. People wrongly get that impressions because her name's credited for the role on IDMB. Chie is actually voiced by Tracey Rooney.

Alright, this confusing point has risen once more and I must know the answer: is Chie's voice actress Laura Bailey or is it really Danielle Judovits? If it's the former, Chie's voice actress also voice Catherine.

 Ya think? Common internet nerd opinion seems to be pointing towards the K side, and Catherine kinda looks really, really odd, almost like a life-sized ceramic doll. She sticks out like a sore thumb from the rest of the cast.

So much screaming.  And I pick whoever's voiced by Danielle Judovits, just so I can close my eyes and imagine it's Chie.

I'd go for Katherine too, but I freely admit Catherine has the hotter character design.

So this is a dating sim, right?

Katherine. Dudes, brunettes!

So this is a dating sim, right?

The seething disapproval for Catherine(the character, not the game) by nerds everywhere kinda weirds me out. Don't like 'em sexually aggressive, eh? :P But again, them billing it as a dating sim seems like they're misrepresenting it....If it helps them sell copies, I'm all for it, though.

Just goes to show that the average age of gamers has gone up dramatically. They're older, wiser, and don't want to deal with the nonsense. "Sexy and mature" beat out "hot and bubbly" any day.
