Kingdom Hearts III is an unreviewable video game - Kotaku
- Thread starter malyse
- Start date
I was 11 years old when I asked another 11-year-old, "Is Pluto, like, Goofy's... son?", to which the other 11-year-old replied, "Is Minnie Mouse Pluto's... mom?" Imagine if these two 11-year-olds had stood there on that basketball court in 1991, and continued that conversation uninterrupted for 28 years. That is Kingdom Hearts.

Wait. Shit. I feel like him confusing KH3 being made by the original KH Team instead of the Osaka team which has taken over after BBS is baiting me as a diehard fan like Part 1 mentions.
Haha, I actually just came here to post that exact quote. I don't care for these games but a lot of my friends love them. This video was kinda alright. People responding literally to the title of the video, I mean, c'mon son.
Great video!
I wouldn't necessarily call it a joke video or a satire, though. I would say it's pretty clearly a heartfelt love letter to the series, an ode if you will. Just expressed in a sarcastic way as the series demands. It's about embracing the fan fiction element of the series, and appreciating the series for its immensity and uniqueness.

Saw this earlier today. Thought it was pretty funny, and I'm actually tempted to jump in on KH III without a grasp of everything. It might make it fun and give me inspiration to go back and fully play the older games. Love Time Rogers vids, something about his humor just clicks with me.
Also... lol at all the people in the thread writing their hot takes on the title or without watching the video... at least take a second to comprehend what's actually being proposed.

lol @ all the posts at the start of the thread from people simply commenting on the title without actually watching the video.
In the end, review scores for a series like Kingdom Hearts don't even matter; the fans of the series will buy KH3 regardless.

Will they though?
I was a huge, huge fan of Kingdom hearts, mostly because I had a big crush on Kairi. This was because I was a teenager at the time, hormones were flowing and a lot of people know how it is.
However I'm no longer a teenager and I'm certainly not playing this because of the story, or to see how Sora saves the day because "love" or some bullshit. I at least want to know the game isn't an unplayable mess, as per other games in the series have tended to be, albeit on the mobile platforms.
So I think reviews are important and I'll be interested to see what they have made of it all.
nostalgia based fuckery. "unreviewable" meaning anything lower than what KH fans thinks it should get is wrong.
I can no longer tell who's baiting and who's is being serious in this thread.
Tim Rogers is too good.
Wat?
I know some of the handheld titles were better than others, but I wouldn't say any of them were unplayable messes.
Ok it took me 3 watches but I think I get the message now.
Still think the people that need to hear this the most are going to have the jokes fly over their heads.

I see the point. It's not that you can't write a review, it's that what it's even going to mean? Is a fan not going to buy them after this long because of any amount of reviews?
the amount of people taking the subject at face value and not putting a single second into watching the video is staggering

Depends. How blackout are you? There's stuff from the opening and some early trailers.
I've been with this series since I was 8 or 9 years old and I can't believe that Kingdom Hearts 3 is actually coming out in just a matter of days now. It sucks that some KH fans have ruined it for a lot of people, both newcomers and long time fans. I just hope everyone who does play it can enjoy it even if they might not understand everything!
"This game is unreviewable. Update: I've been asked to review this game."
I feel bad for this guy. He sort of dunked on himself.

Stopped tuning in right when the opening video for Face My Fears dropped. For me that was the sign to stop.
Finally watched it. His commentary on the series' "fanfiction" criticism certainly had me second-guessing my own critique -- been reviewing the series on my blog over the past year and definitely described the concept as fanfictional more than once.
Holy wow, how did I miss this?
