It gives out so many free medals regulary you can get atleast a few cool customes and some rral good medals that last you forever.
Honestly if I have to do that then I just won't play any of it
No lol, that still doesn't make a game a spin off. Releasing on another platform doesn't make it a spin off nor does its name. I'm assuming gamers aren't stupider than the general movie populace and can follow a series without numbering (harry potter/avengers/etc)
I did not intend to be dramatic. English is not my native language so my apologies if I come off unnecessarily verbose or something :)
Oh yea, you are 100% right. It could definitely be a satisfying conclusion for fans of the series (me included) but for the norm, I doubt there is anything of substance to appreciate.
I think it's as easy as the other standard modes excluding KH1.
if that's the case that's a problem, I only purchased the remasters so I can play 1 and 2 again. Where the meat of the story should have been. Adding substance to the handheld games was a mistake imo.
The end of that game was a cryptic cutscene with no mention of a title or a platform. There's a lot of people who have no idea what that was.
No need to be so condescending. I've already adressed this argument before but likening 2 hour movies that require no user involvement (gameplay) to entire games is a false equivelance. The Avengers movies are also relatively easy to follow even without watching the other movies, at least compared to a game with as convoluted dialogue and the time traveling, multiple versions of the same character plot of KH. Your comparison is irrelevant.
Someone else already made the comparison, but it's equivelant to the next Marvel movie to be released exclusively on Hulu. The platform changes the perception of the audience. But I don't even have to prove it to you, you can just look at the number of people who believe that those games are spin-off titles. You're a fan of KH who is invested in the series so it might seem obvious to you, but if you do some simple empirical observation and look around I think you'll find that the average gamer was in fact misled by this. If you're so tired of telling people that they aren't spin-offs, maybe it's time to reflect and ask why you have to do that, and whose fault it is. I believe it's on Square Enix, not people who "aren't true KH" fans or whatever.
How you choose to budget your time is up to you. Sometimes there are choices you could have made that would have paid off today.
Right. I just have two friends that only have an xbox but loved KH1 and 2 so for them theyre shit out of luck unless they buy one of those consoles.
I don't think it's fair to expect players to suddenly catch up on 3 - 4 games or features (however many significant ones were on the remaster). If there's some material in KH3 that can clarify things for returning players then I think that's great, but ultimately what I was arguing for is that this was all a mess made by Square Enix themselves. A lot of hardcore KH fans seem to pretty upset with people who are out of the loop when I think they should be upset at SE for making the mess, or maybe just acknowledge that this series isn't super easy to follow if you haven't been completely dedicated to it.
and then Square-Enix announced a game called Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep that featured the characters from the teaser, both in its marketing and prominently on the cover?
That's really neat. I had a fake one as a teenager lol
Indeed Roxas is awesome. And my fav kh character its why i got this necklace recently.
Birth By Sleep isn't all that huge of a time sink if you just want to be caught up to the story. Play on Standard and each character's story won't take you more than 7-8 hours. It's 2-3 weekends of semi-dedicated playing. Hardly any kind of totally impossible task for the average person, even less so if you have any time to play on weekdays.
If you don't want to play them, read plot summaries instead. Or just play KH3 and enjoy the gameplay if you don't care that much about the story, it will be fun regardless. You have a lot of options.
That sounds great :)
Who is "we all"? I think you'll find that people expected a sequel. Then, a game called "Kingdom Hearts 2" came out, and people who played and liked Kingdom Heats 1 went out and bought it. That doesn't mean that people who bought and liked KH2 saw that cutscene and thought, "Wow, a PSP game that isn't numbered!". A lot of people probably never even saw that game anywhere, because they would've been looking for PS2 or PS3 games.
See my response above.
That's a fair point. I guess what I had in mind more than anything is that it's a lot of "homework" to do for people who really just want to play a sequel to the games they played as a kid. They probably aren't interested in remasters of games they already played (or if they are, they might only play those) or playing remasters of handheld games.
I dunno if I'd call Namine the best character.
How is any of this sudden? KH3 was announced in 2013, and the remasters have been available for a good while now. None of this is sudden, if you didn't play them in all those years it's okay but don't say you're "suddenly" being expected to play all of the games in a series that has been going on for decades in order to understand the last game for the current saga. Sigh.
Im quoting this because there are some important points here. Bbs is essential... ddd is not
