Marriage is pointless (It's a Catherine thread)

High time for a Catherine thread. How's everyone getting on with it? Some stages in Rapunzel are doing my head in.

Oh and naughty/nice (aka responsible) and all that.

Looking forward to putting a chunk of time into tonight.

I see it charted at 20.. is that good for this sort of game?

It doesn't seem to impressive but then it didn't seem to be available in a lot of shops.

Supposedly that IS quite good. Considering it not only alienates both the typical mainstream gamers and typical Atlus fans who love their RPGs.

And I need to change that bloody image.

I haven't bought it yet, my stepson has though.
For a game that wasn't at bricks and mortar retail on launch, and has had stock issues, plus is an extremely niche genre, I'd say 20 is a decent position.

I want this but I doubt I'd enjoy any of the puzzle sections, I'd be frustrated at not being able to advance the story quickly enough.

I'm waiting for the inevitable price drop and for my gaming schedule to be freed up.

I bought my copy from shopto, but I haven't started it yet. I did notice it in Game on Saturday for the somewhat adventurous price of £42.99.

Perhaps put the name of the game in the thread title? I know I'll keep forgetting what this thread's about and clicking on it, and anyone looking for a thread about the game won't find one.

The very mention of the name Catherine fills me with dread :)

I've just clocked the end of Night 6. Wondering how long this game is?

There are 9 stages, I'm currently on the Clock Tower, which I believe is 6. Really enjoying it so far. Think I've spent about 7 hours on it so far.
Not very forthcoming with achievements if you're into that sort of thing, so sure there's quite a but if longevity to the game once completed, in getting golds on each level, the Babel levels etc.
I believe their are 8 different endings as well; not sure if I have the nous or patience to find out what they all are.

Bollockoff's picture

Only on the 3rd Night currently, i'm spending alot of time trying to Gold all the stages in replay. Haven't even touched on Babel yet, but if anyone fancies coop climbing give us a shout.

I could listen to the main menu theme all day.

I'm kind of enjoying it.. I like the phone messages. I like the atmosphere.. I'm not sure about the block climbing.

I can find this on Zavvi for £32.95. Anyone found a better deal?

That's me finished this then.

Fuck if you guys think the block climbing is tough. JESUS.

Did you try Babel?

Story stages arn't bad as they drip feed you the mechanics and different block types. Rapunzel and Babel are a whole different thing altogether.

You mean to say that the whole thing's a Kurushi-esque puzzler? o_0

I think Kurushi was more like Klax than Catherine, but it's not the nineties, so there is no time for Klax.

My first experience of this wasn't a good one - couldn't even finish the first block section. Going to give it another try from the start tonight with a fresh mind.

Bollockoff's picture

It's the same with most puzzle games. You just need to kick start your brain into thinking the right way. Half the time I just push on instinct and get lucky.

I bought the deluxe version on PS3 back when it was import only. I have yet to open it. Look forward to spending time with it soon. The 360 is on a sabbatical at the moment and I'm gonna give that expensive PS3 some loving.

Fresh mind would be a good idea, the first level isn't too hard. Later on I found myself scratching my head though.

Not tried Babel. Worried though.

Still plodding along with Catherine, haven't found the time or motivation to do it one big effort yet.

But on a related note, there seems to be an official Persona 5 OST channel up on youtube.

Edit: Nevermind, jumped the gun. Apparently it's just all very well done japanese fan made stuff that got my hopes up.

I had some GAME vouchers left from Christmas, so decided to spend them on this today before they 'pull the plug'.

How long is it approx? If it is not too long I was going to see if I could cram it in before ME3 Friday.

If they had put this on Vita I'd have got it by now....
