I liked the cutscenes and characters, but I just couldn't like the puzzles.

it would've been better if they'd just gone with a visual novel approach, because i actually enjoyed sitting around and talking in the bar

well, thats basically what i meant. if it were a movie....

[TooB]

I thought Catherine was fun.

well, im not condemning anyone for liking the game, but i share lawlz  position, i didnt like how the only gameplay was block puzzles.

oh. sweet

it basically tries to be an interactive anime, with most of the gameplay time being spent in cutscenes with QTEs, interspersed with beat-em-up action sequences

from what i've heard, the 3d action parts are pretty poorly programmed

apparently the only reason to play it is that visually it's very pretty, otherwise it's pointless

That sounds interesting, almost. But I don't think I'd ever want to play.

i'd rent it

i've been meaning to try it since angry joe reviewed it

I downloaded the Theaterrhythm Final Fantasy Demo. It's cute.

I enjoyed Catherine enough to get the platinum trophy.

Also, probably gonna start replaying Demon's Souls soon, just finished getting the platinum trophy for Dark Souls.

i would've liked catherine if it weren't for the shitty puzzles

i hate block pushing games 

Also, I gave up at the end where you had to guide your girlfriend up to the top. I tried it once and realized my fate was determined by the shitty AI.

When I played the demo I didn't care for the puzzles at all, but I actually thought they were quite fun in the game (aside from the level that took me forever, which was fucking awful)
also that part isn't the end of the game at all but seriously you got stuck at that part? It was incredibly easy, the AI was perfectly fine the entire time.

Catherine is basically modern q-bert, with anime angst thrown in
suffice it to say, i didnt like playing the game very much.

now, if it were an anime movie, it woulda been WAAAAYY better to watch.

i think the only people that would compare it to q-bert are those that saw one gameplay video but never played it
also it wasn't really "angsty"

if it was just the non-puzzle parts of the game it probably would have been about as good to me, that really was the best part of it all. it really was just half-interactive anime and half-puzzle game.

still, the whole game was really beautiful, and I think I liked the in-game cut scenes better than the anime ones. it was just so nice looking, and every aspect of the game had excellent style.

How long did it take to get all the endings?

I enjoyed Catherine enough to get the platinum trophy.

i would consider doing this but I have so many other games that I haven't played through, and watching videos of all the other endings, I wouldn't be as satisfied with them. I also found some of the puzzles too hard to play on a higher difficulty

[Placebo Headwound]

I think my total playtime was somewhere between 40-50 hours.

[silvertone]
