Homestuck managed to cough out a single act of a larger game before expiring, its cache all but spent.

The funniest part in all of KH is when (0.2 spoilers)Mickey gets hit with clothes dissolving goo by a heartless so he would look like his silhouette at the end of KH1 did for that scene recreation lol.

Something similar (BBS spoilers)Terra's cape poofing out at the end so he matches how he looks for his secret boss fight in KH2 is also real good.

Sooo talking more about KH3, is it ok if I have experience with the series but am a bit rusty to start on Critical or should I just do Standard/Proud and NG+ Critical? Already spoiled on the story so no issues there, I'm just not sure if to save time and have a challenge or get familiar first.

From what I remember, the game on Critical starts out pretty difficult, until you manage to get a couple levels under your belt, then it gets a lot easier.

People complain about the clone situation in Homestuck. I read the whole thing and for my money, once the clones showed up it marked the downturn of the comic. KH also isn't complex, it just has convoluted background lore. The moment to moment sequence of events in the actual games is extremely basic good vs. evil stuff, which is fine! I like it anyway.

It's a bizarre statement to make considering KH and Homestuck probably have similar types of fans.

I've only played the first one, it was decent but I simply wasn't interested in playing the rest.

I need to go back and try to finish KH3. I was really invested in the story and enjoyed the gameplay, but the pacing of the Disney worlds kind of killed it for me, I found most of them far out stayed their welcome compared to previous games, and I got burnt out midway through the Frozen world. I get why the world's are so much longer - they look great and were almost certainly expensive to make, so gotta stretch em out longer. Previous titles had much snappier pacing - sure, some of the worlds could drag a bit, but if you didn't enjoy a specific world it usually would be over in like 2-3 hours, whereas in KH3 it easily feels like double that.

The Frozen one was probably the worst of the lot. It's pretty much watching the plot of the film, except Sora is in the background sometimes.

Its a choose your own adventure webcomic with a lot of interactive bits and video thrown in. It was kinda groundbreaking at the time, but as far as retro web stuff goes its pretty dated now.

Tangled is okay imo because it's early in the game so it feels like a nice simple adventure to start back up, and Sora actually talks to cast of the movie and hangs out with them.


Frozen actively cuts any crossover from happening and happens waaaay too late into the game to be that inconsequential.

It was explicitly not in fact. It was its own side adventure that occasionally crossed over because the plot was specifically that Calypso was using a fake Jack Sparrow to keep Sora away from the main plot.

Larxene being able to build a massive dungeon to keep Sora preoccupied is kinda funny at least.

also the pirates world in kh3 at least has the bit where davy jones is like I HAVE NO HEART. IM A HEARTLESS. MY HEART IS IN A BOX AND HAS MYSTICAL POWERS. and the org is like 'wow we should get on that' and then they realize he meant his literal physical heart and not the kingdom hearts keyword Heart thats closer to a soul. thats very funny

Also there's a sale on it, at epic - they're £15 instead of £50 which makes it a reasonable cost I'm saying
