Catherine- from the creators of Persona

Is also about how all guys are sheep, are impossible about being commited to relationships, and that all the girls are dominating, controlling, bitches who don't go through the same problems.

Seriously all the sheep you encounter are men, as if women never seem to have any similar problems. It's rather odd on Atlus's part.

It's about a man who's faith and love of his girlfriend is being tested when another girl walks into his life... his life is on the line if he fails.

The gameplay is really fun, and the game features lots of adult themes that one should spend some time thinking about themselves.

Hmm I'm not sure what to make of that message

Don't worry he/she is very much exagerrating.

There is a reason all the sheep were men. Dumazid CHOSE to only curse men due to his own misguided (and frankly, idiotic) philosophy on how to save the human race. I felt it was obvious that Dumazid was supposed to come off as old fashioned and basically nonsensical. Also, he is the villian. Speaking as though his stated philosophy is the games 'message' is like those people that said Harry Potter was bad because Voldemort was a bad role model.

Not to mention that Dumaz/Tammuz is a bit of a sheep in the myths...

I thoguht it was also pretty clear that girls aren't dominating bitches either...it's really not that unreasonable of Katherine to want Vincent to either get serious about a five year relationship and marry her or move on, especially when he's gotten her pregnant.

The way I saw her, a lot of the early game "bitchiness" was more of a frustration at a relationship that had fallen into a rather depressing status quo and now just got a lot more complicated. Yahtzee whined about Vincent being a tool, and he kind of is - but I've known a few Vincents in my life too. And honestly, they're not all dudes either.

The thing is though, Katherine lied about the pregnancy, and knew you were cheating with the other catherine the whole time.

In which case she's just as milquetoast for not confronting him or telling him the truth.

Tomorrow, check the archives of twitch.tv/finestko ... Norcal Install has just held the world's first ever competitive Catherine tournament.

Another Take On Catherine is a blu ray coming out soon. [1] I'm guessing it's Live Action based on the Cos Play model of Catherine.

Just got my Love Is Over today. I love it so far but I'm totally stuck in Clock Tower stage 3. :'(

And now I'm stuck at stage 9-1. >:'I

Agh, those stages. >_>

I'd help ya man, but I honestly can't remember what to do unless the game's right in front of me.

Hey could someone help me with how the endings mechanically work?

I'm well aware of the Karma Meter, and I understand that each notch leads to a different ending.

My first playthrough, I decided to go for the True Love ending, or all the way to the right. I consider this ending 9 since it's the 9th bar on the meter.

My 2nd playthrough though, I tried to go for Ending 8, or not quite all the way to the right. I ended up getting the True Freedom ending... which was all in all pretty neutral.

Can someone explain, without going into spoilery details about which ending is which except the two mentioned above, which ending is what on the meter?

Fans prefer Katherine to Catherine.

Fascinating.

So, Catherine is evidently pretty much here in Europe.

I would care, but I imported last year.

Nice to know I'm not the only one.

Actually, I do prefer Catherine to Katherine, myself. I just didn't like how Katherine had to Yank the Dog's Chain like that, it made me really mad at her.

Never played the game, but I'm going to go on a limb and guess that polyamory is out of the question?

Is the game out in Australia yet?

I dislike both of them, though they are both hot.

Yeah it is, since the main character's personality is kinda already set in stone and he's not down with keeping it going. Also, it would make his life hell to keep hiding his girlfriends from each other.

You can choose to split with both of them though.

I think so, I'll check EB

Anyone go with the True Freedom ending?

So, I just unlocked Axis Mundi by getting 9 Gold trophies on Normal. Was it that way for JP as well?

Anyway, I'm clearly not ready. In the process, I got Katherine Good ending first, and on my last playthrough Catherine Bad. I'm doing another Easy playthrough just to get all the Gold trophies there and try get a different ending and save the bargoers I inadvertently killed on the last two, and then maybe I'll try Hard mode. (Which happens to be Morgan, apparently).

I got the good Katherine ending, hoping to get an ending with Catherine next time. I actually like the socializing bits more than the puzzle gameplay.

While I like both main females, I think Catherine is more endearing personality and appearance wise. Gotta love Ax-Crazy Manic Pixie Dream Girl!

I did. And was all gung ho about it. Live the dream, Vincent! LIVE THE DREAM!

hehe.

I really loved the true freedom ending. Vincent's decision to follow his dream and not settle down until he was ready was treated as sign of his growth and maturity, rather then simple childishness. I can't stress how refreshing I find that.
