Kingdom Hearts III - Critical mode/NG+ update coming tomorrow [update: now live]
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
Maybe the combat will actually be good now, cause damn it was easy as hell even on proud. Really messed with my enjoyment of the game.
That's cool. I won't play it myself until we get some sort of Final Mix version but I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for impressions.
Y'all do remember this game went gold on November 20th, right? They've had almost half a year of work on this.

When I platinum'd the game I put the game down as I wasn't gonna pick it up again until critical mode came out even though I loved playing the game. Now crit is coming out so I'll play it again then again when the dlc comes out.
Cannon? I am playing critical mode in KH1 and you are glass but not a cannon.
KH2 critical increases the damage you deal and starts you off with a ton of AP and a bunch of significant abilities.
Excited!
From the interviews and the extra time they've taken to work on it, I have pretty high expectations. Hope it also comes with some other stuff like the ability to disable attraction flow.

Bleh, I just started the game last week, and I've already put 10 hours into it. The combat being mind-numbingly easy, even on Proud, is probably my biggest complaint right now, so... maybe I'll restart if I hear good things.
On the other hand, unless they're making it so something fundamentally changes about getting a screen-clearing ability by pressing triangle every 30 seconds, I'm not entirely sure what they could do to make it meaningfully harder.

Kingdom hearts 1? There is no critical mode in that, only expert and then proud. Those are just 'harder' modes, not a total rebalance. Critical mode started in Kingdom Hearts II, where you do 1.25x damage but take 2x damage and your health is lower, but you get more abilities earlier on. Many call the critical mode in KH2 to be the best action game on ps2 thats not Devil May Cry.
The interviews seem to imply they did go the extra mile to change how you're fundamentally forced to play the game. It'll be very interesting to see how they've handled that.
I'm curious about those new abilities they mentioned. And i hope it doesn't become "spam magnet/ballon" the game. .
Oh, yeah. Sorry I am just mad at the BS in proud mode in KH1.
This is out of nowhere. I eagerly await impressions from people who try it out. I will personally be waiting for all the DLC and updates to be out before doing a replay.
I am so curious how they're going to handle
I can't wait to rush this tomorrow. I'm so excited.
Luxord. Will his cards be immune to thunder? Will Marly and Larxene stay on the field when we find him? Will he get like 10 HP bars? Will he get a new mini-game completely?
I want enemies to do 3x the damage, have 3x the health, and can't be stunned. Also, I want it take more exp to level up to the next level and attraction flow to use all your focus meter when you use it. Sora should have half the HP and MP.
Enemies not being able to be stunned would be absolutely miserable considering they can still damage you during attack animations. Hitstun needs to be in the game otherwise it's going to be less 'difficult' and more 'literally unplayable'.
I think one tough nut to crack for KH3 is going to be the assorted -za finisher granting keyblades and accessories - loading up on a bunch of those early in the game makes it *really* easy to clear most encounters with barely any thought or effort, but turning all the enemies into damage sponges to account for that strategy will make most *other* approaches practically useless.
Have they announced a patch for Sekiro?
Edit: Just saw the thread lol
😓but Sekiro is so good, why not both? Lol
Glad to see critical mode in, I chose proud mode at launch and it was too easy.
Best option would be to give you those accessories/abilities later in the game rather than early.
No but it's way too easy for me to have gotten any true enjoyment out of it
I think that'd help, but even in the late game those accessories are arguably even better than the assorted big-minigame-prize mp hastera/mp hastega set and would continue to be really hard to balance against.
Glass cannon mode is choosing the sword and getting rid of the shield in KH1
