Complaints about Catherine being “too hardcore” have not fallen on deaf ears – Atlus promises a patch to make the game easier for the mewling weaklings they are saddled with as customers.
The game’s developers say they are preparing a patch to make the game easier, apologising as “the staff may have become too used to the game.”
Just why such matters never came up in the game’s QA testing stages is something of a mystery, particularly considering it has proven a near universal complaint about the game from everyone who bought it…
i dont think the game is hard.. challenging yes, but hard? not really..
Hardcore gamers love to blame casual gamers for the dilution of their games, but to tell you the truth, game companies LOVE the casual gamers because that’s where their money lies.
For every hardcore gamer that buys a game and spends 20 hours of his day playing games in his mom’s basement without a care in the world, there are 10 casual gamers that just want a short diversion from their busy lives. And that’s why game companies cater to the casual gamer, because there are MORE of them to sell to. No industry can survive and become profitable on just the support of the hardcores.
Elitist hardcore gamers have to live with this, because frankly without the casuals, most companies including Atlus would go under. Game production is incredibly expensive these days. These aren’t the simple ol days of Atari and NES development.
Atlus HAS to make sure their games are accessible to a majority of gamers or their games will sit on the shelves, and well, they’ll be throwing their money out the window and the company too. They KNOW this.
Sounds like the anime industry.
everyone knows japanese developers dont do intensive QA testing.. thats why no one mentioned it HA!!!!
can some one explain the hype for this game? I saw the demo and I’m not impressed by the least bit.
