Morality plays a big role apparently[/QUOTE]
Sounds like the Shin Megami series style of Law, Chaos or inbetween - slimmed down to a far more personal scale of relationships and such instead. Considering who's creating it, though...
[b]There is no nudity. 0. Zip. Natta. There's a single scene where you see Catherine's bare back but that's all[/b]
Jeeze stop talking like it's all over the game.
You ask how it's mature? Well instead of saving the world or whatever it's more about the theme of the game, the fact it's based around a guy trying to fight growing up and digging himself deeper and deeper into relationship problems is something most games haven't covered yet and a more mature theme then most games have. It's not THE MOST MATURE THING in the world sure, but it really does tackle real problems while keeping a atlus like flair to it.
Example of one of the problems that faces Vincent (chapter 4 spoilers)
[sp]You find out your girlfriend is pregnant, you still haven't told her about Catherine yet, ffuuuuuck[/sp]
So, wait, if the cover for the PS3 is Catherine's breasts, and the cover for the Xbox is Katherine's arse, what would the PC cover be? Vincent's package?

There wouldn't because the PC isn't getting it.

expecting catherine on PC is like expecting Skyward Sword on PC
or The Witcher 2 on the 3DO

I know that, but WHAT IF, MAAAN?! WHAT IF?!
I played the demo for this on my Xbox. It seems worth at least a good try from a rental.
On top of that, I fucking love Atlus games.

Probably both.
Just a FYI to people who don't own it yet and European PAL people who haven't imported it, The game comes out today in the US
It's a good idea to not go any further because someone might accidentally spoil the story (which is apparently a very big deal in the game).
I'm not into the relationship stuff usually, but damn this game looks good. I wish this were on PC; I like having most of my games on one medium. Catherine will probably be the first console game I've bought in a while that isn't a sports game.
Any pictures of Katherine?
I *might* get it, but for what I've seen I'd choose Catherine.

What did they destroy?
mine just got shipped, shame they only ship on release date even for imports, not like I would receive it early if they sent it a couple days ago.
Still excited. :dance:
Now to try and finish Digital Devil Saga before it arrives.

ouch. Be hard for myself to trust them again if something like that happened to me.

Still makes me wince. It's like someone kicked it several times or they dropped it off someplace high and decided to ship it anyway. Did you manage a refund or something for that, by the way?
Also, is it not weird that Katherine and Catherine have, well, similar names? Maybe they're the same person or at least involved with eachother somehow?

Wow. I guess maybe I just shouldn't buy collector's editions from Amazon... my CE of Deathsmiles came all smashed and such.

I put customer shots on the duke nukem amazon store page of it (They probably removed them by now). I dunno why i never really contacted them for a refund. The Game worked and all that
also i know it was damaged at amazon because the Game was the only thing damaged, the box carrying it was perfectly ok.
Amazon is pretty bad for games if you need it on day one.
well best buy didn't have the collectors edition so yea
Gamestop then?
When I first saw this I was really disappointed with Atlus. But as time went on and I finally saw gameplay, the story looked superb. I'm just not so sure about gameplay. The game itself looks fun, but it might drive me nuts with the way the audio is. Vincent saying "I got it!" and shit like that every five seconds is annoying.
[QUOTE=Banned?;31352032]Gamestop then?[/QUOTE]
the gamestop im near is always a asshole.
One time they gave me a 1$ in change and halfway home i looked at the recipt and they were supposed to give me 11$ in change.
They Charged me more on stuff that was supposed to be discounted.
etc.
i only go there for quick bargins and backup plans only.
Ouch. :/ Sorry. The Gamestop I'm near is awesome.
Fun fact: Catherine runs on Gamebryo.
