Thanks to this game I stopped placing any faith in "hype culture". It's just a thing to get people riled up (especially teenagers, etc), and waste money I guess. I mean, I like Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 and some spinoffs but 3 just feel flat I think. Graphics are nice but the game feels rushed in comparison (and look at the gap between KH1 and 2, 2002 and 2006, four years and we have a more solid structure) Plus, the gameplay of 358/coded/BBS/DDS feels shallow in comparison to 1, 2 and even CoM/ReCoM. But I am simply stating opinions. What's your take, Yea Forums?

Way ahead of you. Just be glad you learned. Some people never learn.

i take that you wrote a bunch of shit that i don't care about and youre a pitiful negroid

It's an okay game. Not great but not shit. It could be harder on Proud difficulty, I had to use EXP 0 every other world after a point just to make fights feel balanced.

and I am shocked that game killed your "hype culture" when crap like MGS5 and FFXV killed that for me years ago.

Now I just expect every game to be average that way I don't hype myself for disappointment.

Maybe you should be excited for actually good games? Ace Combat 7, RE2, and DMC5 all lived up to the hype and then some.

If a game looks fun from gameplay videos after launch, I will buy it. I will also stay loyal to series that I’ve had fun with in the past (DMC, Metro, etc.).

I don’t give one single fuck about marketing, I just wait until about a month after launch, then decide. I genuinely feel sorry for people that were excited for KH3

>and some spinoffs
Really though you shouldn't get too hyped for games because of people on here. I went in expecting it would be better than DDD and came out fairly satisfied. I stopped getting hyped for games, just mildly excited. Super Mario Odyssey was the last game that lived up to the hype imo.

My take is that you're right to feel however you want. I'm just too awestruck by this series for so long that I've thoroughly enjoyed playing every game and 3 was the same

The hype around the game I never liked though, there was so much information and headcanon expectations going around that it became tiring talking about it with people. At the end of the day it was a fanservice game for people who have been waiting for certain resolutions to happen with a new engine so it was going to be far from perfect

Funny you post a picture of gen 7 pokemon when that's a prime offender of hype exploitation into extreme dissapointment. Even more when USM came out and were barely any more different to SM than crystal was to GS despite coming out almost 20 years later

Even if they are games ready to come out, I should still buy them a year or so down the road on a sale. $60 for a "new experience" and shit. I did that and I was a child (literally and mentally)

I was actually hype for MGSV. Came out on my birthday, and bought it a day after.
Only got past a few missions then I was watching a friend play my digital copy on specific points the end on his PS3. Not too bad of a game I think.

I am a dude that has been with KH since technically the beginning even though not playing the spinoffs until the PS3 editions/DS emulation via Drastic. I can feel the cheapness of the spinoffs in comparison (due to the limited hardware also), but to each their own.

Same, although BotW was already a serious disappoint to me as a Zelda fan. But with KH3, I had already lowered my expectations but I was still surprised there was no colosseum or no full original world. It just felt disrespectful to the fans who bought all those damn spinoffs thinking they were leading up to something spectacular. It was still a fun and pretty game, but it didn't deliver the magic of 1 & 2, and now I wonder if the franchise will ever really deliver again. The story was mostly a setup for the next game too, so Back Cover didn't really feel like a necessary piece of prologue for 3. The whole "end of the Dark Seeker Saga" is some of the worst Nomura bullshit. And I doubt it's even the end of Xehanort! And I'm not too optimistic about the DLC, but we'll see.

Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 15 promotion:
>announced while only at the conceptual stage
>media silence for years
>fan anxiety rurns into resentment
>two years before launch, a sudden flood of new information
>go from no info to too much info, now everything is spoiled and there are no surprises
>delays out the ass
>end product rushed out the door to mass disappointment because squeenix couldn't manage time or talent to save their lives

Versus Devil May Cry 5 promotion:
>hush-hush until the e3 prior to release (leaks and Dan's buffoonery notwithstanding)
>game is announced only when it's almost ready
>huge trailer with cutscenes and gameplay in equal shares, cut to kickass music
>gameplay is basically finished, footage is accurate to the final product
>steady stream of information following; not too much, not too little
>release date announced and never delayed
>Final game is the natural product of the time spent developing it, no scrapped progress or switching engines

Square needs to learn how games are actually marketed.

>shitch games
>good

Did I trigger you user? I said nothing about my opinion on S/M. I just have a lot of Rowlet pictures.

Remember years before KHIII's release when people had graphs of the level layout for KHII? Specifically comparing Halloween Town's KH1 version and the second game's version. For example, the plaza was way to small in comparison to the first game's plaza. Oogies layer gets destoyed by you, but that place was freaking awesome climbing up, heck even the cutscene of sora and the gang unraveling the spiral hill to go to another area was cool. But KHII is more battle oriented so I see the reason to simplify some areas.

Good. I'm glad KH3 filtered out another casual like you. Get the fuck off my ride and never come back. People's tastes just keep getting shittier these days. Oh well.

>sora has a phone to take photos of in game assets
>acts more retarded than previous games
>the cheap kiari death

I dunno, I prefer II's everything in comparison. III does have the pretty graphics and pixar stuff but there but something feels missing to me.

You are proof enough of that.

Finally learned to ignore hype? A lot of games contributed to me figuring that out, but I think the one that really pushed me was Kingdom Hearts II 13 years ago. I haven't gotten hyped for a game in a long time, just been mildly curious at best. This has helped immensely since I don't suffer disappointment as much and the really good games far exceed my expectations and are lots of fun. MGS V somehow still disappointed me even though I went into it with very low expectations though.

Okay which on looks better, left or right? These are the icons for the PS4 digital versions of 1.5+2.5 and III.

More content is what is missing.

I like good games. You don't.

>Toy Story versions of Donald and Goofy wear cool, trendy new outfits that I'd love to see in normal form
>instead, normal forms wear the exact same clothes they've worn since the very beginning
why

Yeah I remember when people compared the two of them and there was less KH II love than there is today. I haven't paid attention to the fanbase in years, so I was little weirded out when I found out that KH II is now the fan favorite in the series.

Why the fuck would you want to play the ps3 versions? They're the worst.

more so what's dumb as fuck is porting kh3 to the xbox but not any of the other games

Yes, the drive form buffering and the crashing near the end of 2. The buffeing can be fixed if there was some data installed on the HDD or full digital, and the bugs can be patched out.

Fucking square enix. They could just update these titles too but no, apparently everybody is on the PS4 now, and there were more bugs on launch of those versions. Fuck PS4

I know right? I mean, how bad is simply changing the button icons for 1, 2 and the like to xbox's buttons? What? Is it THAT visually unpleasing? Lazy cunts.

It's your fault for playing it on microshit's xbone.

At least those bugs could be fixed. I can't see them fixing the load times on ps3. Unfortunately, 3d on ps4 had quite a few moments when I got stuck in fall animations.

If Twilight Town, the Keyblade Graveyard maze, and Scala ad Caelum were fully playable, as well as the Realm of Darkness, I think I'd feel a lot better about KH3.

Yeah, I almost forgot about the load times. I got used to them but still.

In terms of loading shit PS4 wins but I still prefer the PS3's library of games.
