What about Fuuka? Can I beat the snot out of Fuuka? Please tell me I can beat the snot out of Fuuka!
She and Aegis's sister are the only squadmates you don't beat up. And really, Fuuka's only crime is having a bad voice actor.

This game was the big PS2 surprise for me. I had no expectations on it at all, and just bought it on a whim when it was 2+ years old and cheap, but I really enjoyed it, and it delivered much more than I expected it to. One of my favorite PS2 games, and I'm not a fan of GTA at all :P

Eurogamer had a http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/steambot-chronicles-retrospective.

The branching paths are neat, and I also like the fact that the game doesn't end when the main quest is done, just like the TES games.

EDIT: Now I just read that http://www.1up.com/news/steambot-chronicles-2-officially-cancelled after years of silence :(

Not surprising...but still depressing. :(

Interesting article, in any case. I think it does a good job at summing it up. So unappreciated...

Too bad for her that's a capital crime.

"Bad"? Try "intolerably awful"!

I was trying to be nice. She's much better with the mute button available.

What does everyone think of the new game, Catherine, Atlus is releasing sometime in the summer for the US? I know they put the main character of Catherine as a cameo for Persona 3: Portable.

I was excited to see an unofficial Atlus thread, as I've been a fan since Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on the PS1, my last big gaming love was Etrian Odyssey 3, and right now I am completely enthralled with Radiant Historia. One of the things that really stands out to me is just how likable I find Stocke to be, for a taciturn protagonist. Even my husband likes him- and he almost categorically dislikes macho silent male leads in games. Plus, the soundtrack is gorgeous.

Anyway, following Danicore's example, I'll list the Atlus titles I've played, at least as many as I can remember on half a cup of coffee:

PS1:
Spoiler


Persona

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment

Thousand Arms

Brigandine

Ogre Battle

Kartia

Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth

Rhapsody







PS2:
Spoiler
Persona 3

Persona 4

SMT: Nocturne

SMT: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army

SMT: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

SMT: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2

Odin Sphere

Grim Grimoire

Wizardry: Tales of the Forsaken Land

Disgaea (most of the sequels as well, but the original is my favorite)


I'm also a big fan of the Etrian Odyssey series for the DS, and I think P3P was my favorite version of Persona 3. I loved FemC.

Re: Catherine- I haven't run into her cameo yet in P3P, and I am looking forward to trying the game when it comes out, but I am ambivalent about some of the things I've read. We'll see, basically.

The guy is in the club, I'll look for a screenshot for him. http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/31815/1444859-p3p_mysteryman2_super.jpg Catherine isn't the main character of it, but a major character. Also, the MC is Vincent.

I have not been following developments, but it is an Atlus game, (made for a desktop console) so I will kindly pay for it the day it comes out.

I have only seen the first trailer and read a comment from one of the developers. "We want to make an advlt game before we make a SMT for the new generation consoles." (Something along those lines.)

Yes, I like what I heard and seen so far.

The gameplay doesn't look like the sort of thing I usually go for, but the story seems interesting enough. As long as we get the adjusted difficulty settings then I'll pick it up.

Looks like http://www.siliconera.com/2011/04/27/alternate-catherine-cover-art-for-north-america/ though, which is basically just cropped versions of the Japanese art. Hopefully they end up being reversible.

It looks [censored]in' bizarre is what I'll say. The story, the style, the aesthetics, and the main gameplay in the nightmare sequences. Which is why I'm looking forward to it, and hope it has the classic Atlus touch (where it will [censored] you hard :shifty:). Though those covers, even the "censored" ones, are pretty contemptible.

Still no definite release date in Europe?

"? Escape With or From a Friend
Local competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, in addition to leaderboards, ensure that the many thrills and horrors of racing through twisted stages can be enjoyed by more than one player and add hours of extra gameplay to the overall experience." (Webhallen.com. Swedish site.)

What?

Edit: Nevermind. It has nothing to do with the single player campaign i hope.

From what I can make of Catherine, it isn't made to appeal to gamers, but more to perverted basemant dwellers. Am I wrong here?
