To be honest Catherine is the worst game I've played this year. If it weren't for the o-so-mature subject matter ( ) that weeaboos use to defend themselves from attacks they jerk it to cartoons it would have been rated for what it is, a sup-par ps1 era puzzler.

When I gave up on Catherine halfway through, I worried I wasn't a gamer anymore. Then I played BATMAN and SAINTS ROW 3 and realized I like AWESOME games where you get to DO THINGS - not boring games where the hardest decision you have to make is determining whether the story sucks more or less than the gameplay.

Only noticeable game I can think of that's missing is Ghost Trick.

no, it sucked. it was one of those quirky jappa ds games beloved of the same folks who mistake thematic cleverness and style for content and mechanics, i.e. the phoenix wright/hotel dusk fans. i started out liking it, but it got tiresome and repetitive with a vengeance

I thought Ghost Trick was Phoenix Wright done...right, so to speak. I can understand not enjoying though, but the puzzles get more interesting as the game continues on.

Catherine is the best puzzle game this generation. Puzzle games = good stuff. Nice challenge & very rewarding.

The fact that it has good cutscenes, good visuals, and good music to go along with it is just fluff.

Himu · « **Reply #69 on:** November 16, 2011, 04:44:20 PM »

I wouldn't say Catherine is the best puzzle game due to the fact that non-puzzle elements permeate the game's design. It's clearly MORE than simply a puzzle game. I'd rather play PQ2 or Crush on psp.

Every time there's a new indie bundle I get 3-5 puzzle games better than Catherine for under $5.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #83 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:11:39 PM »

Saints Row 3 is the kind of game that I want to put at the top of my list, because it's so off-the-wall and it only focuses on doing on thing: being really fun all the time. But I'm not quite there yet, some minor issues [like the cutscenes and the lack of new activities] are holding it back just enough to where it's fighting over second place behind Skyrim.

Haven't played Arkham City yet, so we'll see how that goes next week when the PC version finally comes out.

Himu · « **Reply #84 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:13:11 PM »

Keep playing, Rumbler. The campaign gets way better, and there are new activities. They're unlocked as you continue the story.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #85 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:17:18 PM »

I'm at about 20-25% right now, I figure that's where it really starts to open up. I mean, I'm not really complaining all that much about the game or anything, it's been great so far. But if it gets even better from here on...well...great!

But it's a tough battle to pull me away from Skryim and Arkham City is just days away.

Still waiting for KOF13, but so far the best video games this year have been:

1. Akai Katana Shin
2. Dark Souls
3. Hard Corps Uprising
4. Catherine
5. Child of Eden
6. Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets
7. Strania
8. Bangai-O HD
9. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (haven't bought Ultimate yet)
10. Yakuza 4*

Didn't put much thought into the ordering, aside from Akai Katana being leagues ahead of everything else.

*I needed a 10th game to make it even. It was good, but it's mostly about the story and such and not the greatest game.

Yes it is. Catherine on Hard = best puzzle game this gen, no competition. Obelisk and Rapunzel are fucking terrible, but the rest is an A+ puzzle game. Story/cutscenes were okay and the music was great.

Everyone is liking Skyrim because those of us who think Bethesda couldn't design a game if their life depended on it aren't giving them $50 to "evaluate it" for ourselves. Most people splooging over it are the same group who couldn't stop singing praises of Fallout 3 or Oblivion. Where is the person who thought Fallout 3 was an embarrassment to the Fallout name, Oblivion a total bore, and loves Skyrim to death and thinks it's the best WRPG in ages?

Will gladly play it with an open mind a year from now when the "all DLC & awesome fan mods alleviating problems included for $9.99" version is released.

For the recrod, I think Morrowind is boring wank, Oblivion is ok, and Fallout 3 was great but nothing amazing. Skyrim, however, is the best damn rpg in years and objectively the best game I've played all year along Portal 2, Saints Row The Third and Tactics Ogre. What in the hell are you talking about? Have you read impressions of the game like, at all?

I'm holding back on Skyrim because the same comments I'm hearing about Skyrim were pretty much the same that I heard when Oblivion came out. While it is nice to see that they made an Elder Scrolls game like Fallout 3, I'm still waiting a couple of months for the hype to die down. It's funny to see so many people rip on Oblivion when some of them at GAF were creaming themselves over the game skyrim style back in 2006.

brob · « **Reply #113 on:** November 16, 2011, 09:27:01 PM »

Skyrim is only gonna get better with patches and mods and it might even drop in price somewhere along the way too (GOTY edition, etc). So there is no point in rushing it.

A lot of the same people who are jizzing over Skyrim in 2011 were the same people who were jizzing over Oblivion in 2006 who were the same people who were ripping on Oblivion from 2007 on. Not saying that it would be a shitty game but it's a red flag to me. That and I've been burned by too many bloated and buggy Bethesda games to foolishly jump in head first.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #116 on:** November 16, 2011, 10:03:04 PM »

i have never really played Oblivion so my frame of reference isn't perfect. However I think Fallout 3 and New Vegas are both really good games and Skyrim is better than both.

Fallout 3 has a really expansive world and some good quests but i felt it wasn't really very satisfying to explore because there was never anything to find of worth.
New Vegas has some really great side quests and characters but i didn't like that the world felt smaller and more cramped.

Skyrim solves both problems by having an expansive world that is dense with content and has really great quests. It's basically Bethesda taking everything they've learned from making these kinds of games and putting it all together.

I don't think this is the case. There's the occasional person like Drinky who flip flopped but I think MOST of us have been pretty consistent here. Triumph and I for example have gone on the record MULTIPLE TIMES in the past trolling pre-Fallout 3 Bethesda games and we both love it.
