I think you have to be stoned for the KH plot. Doesn't make sense to try and enjoy it sober.

Liked Kingdom Hearts when I was a teenager, got into smoking tons of weed as an adult. No amount of weed ever made going back to Kingdom Hearts worth it, and I tried a few times. That's what it is. You need to be a 12-15 year old anime watcher to like KH.

The basic concept of going to Disney worlds and helping them solve their problems, with an anime flavor, was very fun. It just seems like they decided to lean more and more into the opposite, i.e. ridiculous anime bullshit where occasionally a Disney character shows up. But like, even Final Fantasy characters stopped showing up in 3 I think? It's like a fan fiction that gets rid of the known characters because they thought the "original" generic hooded anime dudes were way more important.

I've always wanted to try KH but there's a ton of games and I have no idea what order they're supposed to be played in and the names are terrible.

The really funny thing is iirc they still have basically no context for any of the generic hooded anime characters, like none of them have families or anything, I think given realising they literally never just hang out or do things besides have anime drama casually they threw in some hilariously hamfisted scenes where they get popsicles from somewhere.

One of my dream games is just Devil May Cry: The Action RPG, and Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3 are the closest things to that. Even Capcom couldn’t do it, since Dragon’s Dogma has a terrible formula for calculating damage and no lock-on. I didn’t get what was so great about them when I played through them on the normal difficulty, but seeing a critical level 1 playthrough at GDQ showed me how they’re supposed to be played. I’ve gone through them on that difficulty and I’m still working my way through the 14 super bosses each game has. FFVIIR has great combat too, but it’s not like KH where you spend most of combat in the air and 1 hit away from death. FFXVI already looks like exactly what I’m looking for.

It just seems like they decided to lean more and more into the opposite, i.e. ridiculous anime bullshit where occasionally a Disney character shows up. It's got the extremely late 90s jrpg energy where the base game is perfectly serviceable but huge chunks of the game require grinding to max level to fight all the extreme optional bosses, like Sephiroth. KH2 straight through without max grinding is fine, the 3DS games I played were perfectly fine and fun. Once their one the PC you can play the main game and just cheatengine to max level if you desperately want to see the 20 second secret FMVs for all the optional content. Plus, the biggest incentive for all that grinding was to watch the secret trailers that teased what the sequels were gonna be, except all the pre KH3 content was to tease out KH3, and no one needs to do that given the game is out.

Thanks for deciding that if I have to leave, I have to replay like 30 minutes of the game because you assume I don't know how computers work. And if it's ~stylistic~ then guess what, your style sucks dick and you can go gently caress yourself.

Boss fights where you absolutely whoop the boss' rear end and then straight after is a cutscene where they kick your rear end immediately can gently caress right off. Like the boss fight starts, "grr I will destroy you!" Proceed to beat them senseless, feeling assured that they have nothing on you. Cue cutscene where they throw the party around like toys and mock them as never being able to stand up to them and poo poo. gently caress the illusion that you get a say. Why even have the boss fight be beatable? Doesn't make loving sense.

I'd say MGR did it right with the first Jetstream Sam fight where you literally can't even touch him, but they technically do literally this, ironically, in the Sam DLC against the final boss of all things.

As someone who plays Pokemon trading cards on the internet, sometimes opening random packs of stuff is fun. Sometimes. Not all the time. I mean, it helps when the game is designed around that mechanic, and it's not shoehorned in purely to prolong the life of the game or push people to pull out their wallets again and again. Also I have spent money on pokemon, I am a hypocrite. Just throwing that out there so you know I have no stock.

I don't know if it's passed, but there was a really weird trend a bit ago where every game has a "trading card" or card feature and most of them weren't card games at all, I'm sure it appeals to some people but I hate HATE that weird rear end physical trading card component where it's all in game and this weird commodity fetishism
