No, it's everything.

Off the top of my had its those two + Chain of memories, dream drop distance (can't remember if this is the movie cutscenes or the riku game) and birth by sleep...

I've only played kh1 and kh2 and I have the collection but Birth By Sleep actually looks legit good and its preview vid from the secret ending of kh2 final.mix is one of my favorite CG teasers of all time...I don't think you need to be a fan to appreciate the spectacle of it. I still have no what's going on plotwise here or who these people are (I know they're your playable chars in BBS but that's it) and man it just rules, watch it

I only played KH1 & KH2, and this is pretty much undecipherable to me. It's really cool, but I don't remember there being even traces of story that could give me insight into who these people are or what's happening.

Part of me is afraid to play BBS because what if this moment isn't nearly as cool in-game (like the famous KH2 "deep dive" teaser which, while cool as hell as a taser, iirc it was made before the game and the game had to fit it into the plot somehow).

Would have anything to do with the fact you're completely ignoring the story and characters in the story-driven game?

tbh the characters and story in mass effect have always been a bit bunk so i cant really comment on any of them other then "they're alright" but no, it's never been the main draw of the series for me

Personally I think the worst thing bioware have ever done in their games is add the romance subplots cuz it makes sad lonely nerds way to attached to their boring characters

I mean it's pretty much exactly the same just with PSP graphics instead of expensive CGI so no it's not as cool sadly. Also in three different bits because that's the three different character endings combined.
The boss fights are cool though.

Yeah it literally spoils the ending of the game mostly except with no context

The actual final battles all take place after that cutscene so it doesn’t really spoil the “ending” per se, though it does give away how it’s all set up.

That's kinda cool and doesn't really ruin it for me. I just know it'll be hype as gently caress when I play the game and my characters walk into that setting all armored up like badasses cause this is it :wow:

I really, really love that fuckin CG trailer.

I really want to play the new KH. I love the poo poo out of Disney but my lack of interest in FF always kept me from trying the series. The new one is looking too good to pass up.

Have they ever done Haunted Mansion stuff?

Nah, the Disney worlds are generally all like huge names or occasionally then-recent stuff they wanna plug like Tron world in 3D.

they pick from the movies, not the rides. there's no space mountain world either

the haunted mansion movie sucked so it follows that there wouldn't be a world for it in kingdom hearts

I just rented Bloodborne from my local library.

I'd already seen lets plays of the game, but they don't really convey how good the sound direction is. Everything sounds so creepy, all the time. The muttering of the demented locals, the giant crows, those...things in the sewers

Watching on my phone though, I do have one question about something that sometimes bugs me racing games: is it clear what the route is? Where the track ends I mean?

It's mostly pretty obvious. There are semi-transparent track barriers that you can go through but will mostly lead to wrecking/respawning

you can see an example at 90seconds into the tutorial

Yeah, all that and the constant blood curdling screams of the bosses really do their job to unnerve the player. Amazing sound design.
