Catherine demo impressions
I usually crack under pressure when it comes to solving a puzzle under stress, which is probably why I failed the second puzzle like four times... The solution isn't hard whatsoever, I just start to do stupid things with the blocks when I see that damned fork coming for me.
Glad I got to experience some of the gameplay even though I didn't understand 90% of the demo. If this game does come to the U.S. all I need are a few favourable reviews from people I trust, and I'm in!
EDIT: If you press square, you create blocks! Wish someone would have told me that in a language I can understand...

Ooh sweet. Totally going to download this puppy now!
Edit: Aww shucks well it says it's for Gold members only and I set up my Japanese account a while ago. Guess I'll see if I have any 48 hour passes laying around. Other wise:

" @Rey_Leone: I thought that when you made a new account you get a free one-month Gold trial. If for some reason you didn't get that (you should have) then I think the Gold weekend would probably work. "You don't get a free month gold if you've already created 2-3 other different profiles on that 360 system.

Well, it seems easier to grab on the PS3, so hopefully people can get their hands on it there." @Rey_Leone: I thought that when you made a new account you get a free one-month Gold trial.

Why, did you make an mp3?" Yo, where's a nice legal place to put catherine-youhaveamail.mp3 for those who want a sweet text message tone? "
Post it here! (Upload it to Dropbox or something)
You ripped it from a game, i'm pretty sure you've already broken at least one law..." Yo, where's a nice legal place to put catherine-youhaveamail.mp3 for those who want a sweet text message tone? "
E: Although do post it, cos even though I thought the game looked pretty pants, that bit was funny as fuck.
It's definitely gorgeous, and definitely high quality in regards to production, but I don't know. I have a feeling this game is going to get praised more because of the names on the front of the package, than the actual game within it.
I think I've said this about Catherine before but I'll say it again, it looks so interesting that I'd be very happy to be wrong about this.
" It's definitely gorgeous, and definitely high quality in regards to production, but I don't know. I have a feeling this game is going to get praised more because of the names on the front of the package, than the actual game within it.Really?
We're still talking about Atlus here right?
I'm not sure if you're referring to "name on the front of the box" or "game within it".Really? We're still talking about Atlus here right? "
But I guess by the very nature of your statement I will say "yes".
Yes, I'm worried that the "ATLUS" on the front of the box has already garnered a lot of sight-unseen perfect 10's.

Atlus' best selling game in its entire history is a 1/10th of what the usual blockbuster does these days.
I'd be much more worried about games like Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 3 and Uncharted 3.
I've been a sucker for mp3 ring/text tones ever since the N-Gage (mm mm mmmmm) and here we go:" @somejerk said:

No way to cut the background music out, it's a straight few seconds from the audio of playing the game, works well with my Samsung Galaxy S's speaker.

Probably old news by now, but I must insist on how enthused I am that ATLUS actually incorporated the option to pause into any of the game's cutscenes. As far as I know, there are only a handful of games that actually have a dedicated sub-menu in order to pause a cutscene and you'd be surprised at how many games don't completely stop when you press the guide button. Good on them for being smart.
