Lame.

Japan gets all the good covers.

Significantly different from the Japanese cover. How surprising.

Hopefully this will be enough while I wait for Persona 5.

I dunno (http://www.gamesradar.com/f/catherine-import-review/a-2011030816833522052).

Ehh, there's a difficulty patch, which would fix one of the biggest issues. I know I'll at least rent it, I never follow critic reviews anyway.

[LoveKuja]

Terrible. All the sex appeal is gone.

[Pan]

Not sure if this is official, but the 360 box is different:

Soooo... what is this?

[sd1833]

Soooo... what is this?

It's a game.

[RAiDeN-209]

It's a game.

Gotcha.

[Eggboy'13]

Not sure if this is official, but the 360 box is different:

It's the same as the Japanese Xbox..
I guess they just weren't a big fan of the boobage.

Apparently there will be that have the original arts.

[shadysaiyan]

Well thats lame, took all the damn sexiness out!! only bad thing about America is the damn sexy censorship of things but yet you can have commercials with hot ass chicks in their underwear.. stupid.

You know, since video games are only for kids. And by American standards, even acknowledging the existence of such things as breasts is far worse than massacre and slaughter when it comes to what is appropriate material for children.

Common knowledge, no?

[LoveKuja]

Common knowledge, no?

Yes. But it's fun to point out time and time again.

[sd1833]

Yes. But it's fun to point out time and time again.

Indeed. I wonder if such a time will ever come to be that sexuality isn't greeted with absolute horror and disgust while chainsawing a guy's head off is considered the norm. It's pretty amusing when you stop to think about it.

This game looks like some sort of Japanese rape game. America would never let that Japanese cover go on shelves but it is a better design, not because it's "hot" but it looks more completely and really speaks for the game.

I don't think you've actually seen a Japanese rape game if you think this looks like one :rolleyes:

[Throavium-Redux]

It's not odd for a Japanese video game developing company to make a game like this with a cover like this. Actually if you watched some gameplay footage you would probably find the point of the game interesting.

I was only here for the breasts.

I'm more of an ass man myself.

...What a glorious 1,000th post.

[Flexx]

...What a glorious 1,000th post.

I prefer a nice combination of the two, but yeah, I'm definitely an ass guy.

[RAiDeN-209]

Lol the American version is just a cropped version of the Japanese, for both.

[Box]

I don't see the appeal of this game at all. It's really over-sexualized in my opinion, and the gameplay looks like complete crap.

You should do some actual research on the game before judging it.

I've been interested solely because of who's developing it. I love Atlus and their games, developed and published.

You guys are overreacting, that article said that only select retailers will have the censored box art, just go to a different store if they don't have it. I wouldn't be surprised even if the cover was reversible. As for the game itself, I haven't played it or really looked that much into it, I might later down the road though.
