Without having played KH 1 & 2 I don’t think you can beat this video for getting up to speed. I watched it and within 15 minutes I learned more than I could have ever imagined. It’s the most well researched and explained video you’ll ever watch about KH. It’s a very serious video. About Kingdom Hearts. I know so much about the series. More than the people who have actually played the games.

I would have been so upset if this had been any other video

i played neros demo at my brothers house on his "xbox1x" thing, through his tiny "4k" tv which was hilarious not calibrated at all and saturated to gently caress and he refused to let me sort it for him so dat re engine mood was lost.

Just finished the new God of War and it was pretty nice, but nowhere near what people hyped it up to be. I dunno, I enjoyed it but the separate parts of the game never outshined any other games in that regard. Combat was dark souls but clunky, and NO BOSSES EVER, here's more trolls. Story was generic nordic stuff, interaction between Kratos and the kid was okay... but nowhere near that which we've seen in The Last of Us. Graphics are nice too, but other games still outshine it (Horizon Zero Dawn comes to mind). And the pacing of the story was loving weird, it felt like just fetch quest after fetch quest.

Glad I borrowed it from a friend, I wouldn't be happy paying full price for this

I just don’t understand how you can possibly think this combat has anything to do with Dark Souls, and even more unbelievably that you find this combat clunkier. Also Horizon has prettier skyboxes but everyone looks like poo poo.

Just as I burned KH's plot in a verbose post, I checked that PSN thing that shows you your most played games. and I was like, what's gonna win, Dark Souls 3, or Bloodborne?? ( DS3 wins with 455 hours to Bloodborne's 444! Nier in third place with 265!)

I am so confused right now: just set up a PS4 for my nephew, with myself as the parental controller or whatever they call it, and bought him PS+ — but there are games missing from the PS Store when logged into his account which are there if I browse on mine. e.g. Steep is not there, even if you search for it, despite being a PS+ title for January; Nidhogg is there but not Nidhogg 2. It's not due to the account settings, I tried derestricting everything, so what the hell is causing it? Anyone encountered anything like this before with this garbage store?

lmao, this video was so great and exactly what I expected from Polygon. I've never played a Kingdom Hearts game but read a couple of plot synopses which confirmed why I probably won't ever bother playing them. I've been having a lot of fun watching a roommate play through KH3 however and whenever it is Disney content I'm like this is cool, and then the Square Enix/KH characters show up and your eyes just immediately glaze over with all of the bullshit they are spewing.

I mean in order to download them in the first place, to get them into his library? Am I missing a trick? Also Fortnite does show up in the store but just says 'this content cannot be selected at this time' when on his account. I'm thinking maybe that's an anti-griefing measure - are new accounts restricted somehow? Otherwise, I'm stumped.

I'm not an expert on it but I know when you go to the Library on the PS4 there's been a list of games for me called "Purchased". I would think the games should be in there whether or not he's downloaded them to his system yet.

Yeah, if you aren’t invested after 16 years of handhelp game plots then just skip the cutscenes.

Also the game is just too easy. I’m playing on hard and have only died 3 times to one boss.

I wonder how all the voice actors for the Disney characters must feel everytime they read for Kingdom Hearts. Like you just got out of the Mickey's playhouse singalong session and now you're matter-of-factly explaining the Unbirthed Nobody of Xehanort or w/e.

Oh yeah. The first game will probably last you somewhere in the range of 5-8 hours. If you play the other character after that you can cut your first time in half, at least, since most of the puzzles are the same and the characters only play a bit differently due to their available weapons.

The part that confuses me, as someone who just peripherally has payed attention to Kingdom Hearts games, is how the hell these story's get green-lit by whatever stakeholders Square Enix have at Disney, like surely there's some kind of oversight right? The plot for even one of these games is more convoluted than your average Final Fantasy game. like Final Fantasy's stories are deep and layered but it all is fairly easy to relate to someone who has never played the games. Kingdom Hearts? not so much... and their target audience is much younger you'd think.

ben diskin went on-record about it once and said (in the politest language possible) that it was a miserable experience, the VA's were simultaneously micro-managed and given almost no actual direction so they were just adrift in a sea of arbitrary anime

like he was given no information on his role or on the series in general, they just showed him clips of the japanese voice acting and told him to mimic the emotion and cadence as closely as possible
