[catherine] Just read/remembered that the narrator of Catherine describes Vincent as "a kind man"
Niamh Vibes
and.
Niamh Vibes
fucking what
Niamh Vibes
you're telling but you sure aren't showing

Vincent suuuuucks
Maidstrong
all I know about Catherine is that the first game had him waffling between two women and the remake intro'd an underage third woman for him to waffle between and I'm not 100% sure how that makes him kind
Niamh Vibes
That sums it up really
Maidstrong
oh good I'm not missing anything
Quinnfernal
I think the third one is also trans and he does a full Trans Panic about it
Maidstrong
oh......
Maidstrong
wow yeah that's shit
CrowsbeforeBros
he is dating one woman, and drunkenly sleeps with the other, and is too chicken shit to either confess, break up with either, or telling the side girl he's got a girlfriend
Niamh Vibes
the biggest mystery of Catherine is why Erica stays friends with him
Niamh Vibes
although she doesn't hang out with him off-hours, so maybe its just a matter of not being able to find work far enough away from him
Niamh Vibes
Also I seem to recall the game sort of making sure to keep Vincent mostly blameless
Niamh Vibes
he just happens to wake up the next day with Catherine in his bed, with no memory of sleeping with her
CrowsbeforeBros
but everything else is 100% on him
Niamh Vibes
its so many hoops to jump through to try and make your hero look innocent
SariAAAAAAAH
Hot take: everyone in Catherine sucks except Erica.
Niamh Vibes
Katherine faking a pregnancy is really weird
SariAAAAAAAH
Katherine hit manipulation buttons for me, too
Niamh Vibes
Catherine barely has a personality but she's going into this intending to screw over Katherine and Vincent
CrowsbeforeBros
the only objectively good part of the game is Iron Tager reciting cocktail facts
Niamh Vibes
There's a sequence where Katherine kills Catherine and I was so mad it turns out to be a dream
Niamh Vibes
Because it makes her so much more interesting
Quinnfernal
the only good ending of Catherine is the one where he decides he isn't cut out for this life, leaves all the Catherines behind, and goes to space
SariAAAAAAAH
I would've much preferred a game in which we went through Erica's adventures in sheep nightmare. Especially if it ended with "I'm not a man, you ass holes"
SariAAAAAAAH
and honestly, the sheep nightmare concept is at least kind of interesting. It just didn't do a great job of playing part in a redemption arc
