MLP: FiM Catherine Parody

I love both of these things.

My bro beat the game as a Paragon the other day, and I gotta say, it's a hella kewl game. It's odd unique take on the genre of puzzle games really harkens back to the Dreamcast-era experimentation.

anywhooooo

after a thorough analysis of all the characters; here's the upcoming list:

Vince-Rainbow Dash
Katherine-Fluttershy
Catherine-Pinkie Pie
Orlando-Applejack
Johnny-Twilight Sparkle
Toby-Spike
Erica-Rarity (yes, I know)
Boss- Mayor
Trisha-Fro/Celestia

comment on what you will with the choices here. . . > 3>

Catherine? *the googles* Huh. And here I thought games about plumbers bouncing on muffins and hedgehogs fighting Teddy Roosevelt were weird. Someone at Atlus must have a supplier for the good shit.

And of course the game is part dating sim. Because it's from Japan. If Namco released Pac-Man today, you'd have to take time off after every fifth maze to seduce one of the ghosts. Lord knows that awkwardly welding two types of gameplay together is always awesome!

@329828 and of course a game with any of those genre types combined would be bad, right?

Pockysticks@956: You know what else sold impressively well in the West? The Twilight novels. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's not retarded. But I'm sure the game is competent. Professional companies rarely release truly crappy games unless they are Capcom or Sega. Problem is, if they try to implement two orthogonal modes of play within the development cycle of one game, they'll end up half-assing both sides. It's simple economics.

The problem wasn't as obvious back when Atlus was making JRPGs, since the very definition of that genre is "half-assed dungeon crawling meets half-assed role playing." But now that they're making real games, the flaws in their design philosophy are being thrown in everyone's face. I mean, come on. They had to release a freaking patch in Japan because they didn't do enough playtesting to realize that the game was impossible for anyone outside their own office to beat, even on the Least Hard setting. (I'm surprised the game doesn't have any falling apples... er, giant cherries.)

The demo was pretty good, but not good enough to spend money on.

@#330105 1. have you played it? It's pretty straight-forward, has in-game guides and has a very easy mode for all the n00bs. I swear, this generation is so fucking pathetic when it comes to challenge. . . it's losers like you why CAPCOM put an easy mode in Mega Man.

2. the jRPG argument again, I laugh at this because so many people just like to use it as an excuse to pretty paint all Japanese console-style RPGs with a bad mark. You don't like Japanese console-style RPGs, whatever.

3. the game is actually good; unlike the Twilight novels, which are shit. I believe you were trying just to call it overrated, and saying that with no evidence to back it up is just ignorant.

4. have a nice day

"Impossible for anyone outside their own office to beat, even on the Least Hard setting"?

LOL, no. Beat the game on easy and trudging through normal settings just fine as we speak. No "very easy" needed".

1. Hey, I wasn't one of the losers complaining about the difficulty. I've played enough arcade and NES games that I can make peace with "too hard." (Besides, if you're playing the American release, you're playing the patched version.)

2. I admit I'm not a fan of modern JRPGs, but that's because I'm a completionist, and a lot of those games are full of secrets that require a strategy guide to figure out or even to keep track of. It's a pain having to go to GameFAQs just to print out a checklist of side quests. But I actually like their gameplay, as simple as it may be. And if I want a deeper strategic experience there are always roguelike, tactical, and action RPGs.

I guess that's my biggest complaint with Catherine: it makes me want more, but there aren't any games with "more." It could have been the ultimate 3D puzzle platformer, a Chip's Challenge for the 21st century, but because the folks at Atlus also wanted to tell a story, we were left with a merely decent game. For people who like games as art, that's fine, but for people like me, it's a kick in the plot.
