Is the Kingdom Hearts series worth playing? 1.5+2.5 is on sale on Steam. Should I play Recoded and 358/2 on DS since they are cutscenes in the collections?
>>729337685yesuse melon mix to play the ds games
>>729337685Inb4 contrarians, yes. It's a legendary series with a great ARPG combat system (IMO the best one) that evolves and gets more interesting the further you level up, and the story isn't actually that confusing but it is a rollercoaster. Also the bosses are god tier
yes? sora hs big shoes and i ejaculated at aqua's back. the gameplay translated "final fantasy" into real time but there is less novelty because it is no longer 2002. very fascinating and complex plot
>>729337850i hear 2's combat is the best and 3 never reaches that level. is that true?
>>7293383013's updates put it on par
>>729337685Very much worth playing, but not all of them. You not only don't have to play the ones that are just cutscenes but I don't even think the cutscenes are worth watching. They're entirely skippable.Play 1, CoM, 2 and BBS. If you dislike CoM's gameplay it's also not a big deal to skip it, you'll catch up to the story while playing 2, it's not that complex. But at least give it a try.Ignore everything else. Ignore the 2.8 collection too and just play 3 if you enjoy these games and want more.
I hate disney and I hate mickey "freemason" mouse, tell me why should i play this game
>>729338301the consensus is against 3.
>>729338301short answer: yes
>been wanting to replay these games after they came to Steam>heard reports that they're prone to crashing on AMD GPUs 7800XT and 7900XT>was supposed to have been fixed last year, but there's plenty of recent reviews saying that crashes still happen
>>729339964There's a fix for this.
>>729339215long answer?
>>729338836this is just not true. it's really bad.>>729339089The youtube slop shouldn't be an indicator but in this instance I must be inclined to say that it is some indication of how bad the game is.3 is one of the worst games I ever played. I snapped my physical disc for ps4 and I only reluctantly bought it again on steam because I lost a bet to my friend.
>>729338301Yes it's true, but 3's combat is still good.
>>7293383013 was lackluster on release.Gameplay comes close to 2 after dlc and free updates, but story never reaches the same heights as 1 and 2
>>729339089I'm probably one of the few guys who liked 3.
>>729339089kh3 isnt bad, its far better than most of the games in the seriesnomura just cannot write for shit anymore and he needs to retire. he is getting senile and the decisions and over explanations he chooses to make are so dumblike the guardian heartless being terra makes sense. it just makes fucking sense, especially with the revelations in 3. but fucking nomura is like>erm actually so the guardian isnt terra, its merely a vessel heartless that holds terra's heart. Terra actually never turned into a heartless.ITS SO FUCKING STUPIDITS AS STUPID AS HIM MAKING FUCKING CAIT SITH A REAL LIFE BEING BECAUSE REEVES IS AN "INSPIRER" AND CAN INSPIRE MECHANICAL BEINGS TO LIFENOMURA IS SUCH A FUCKING HACKim getting angry just thinking about this shit FUCK
Brainlet here, should I just grab the first collection if I'm not sure about the whole series? how much do I lose if I later buy the bundle that includes Vol 2 and 3?
>>729337685Play the collection in order, skip the regular ds games and just watch the recaps in the collection, before you start KH3 watch the story recaps for the mobile games on youtube.
>>7293383013 is the best in the series, just turn off attractions because they make the game piss easy.
>>729337685They are fun yet very cheesy
>>729337685Only 1 and 2 are worth it and the story is retarded so skip the cutscenes.
>>729344248But Terra's body was quite literally taken over by Xehanort. Guardian could never be the actual Terra so it being a vessel for his heart makes sense.
>>729344248>better than most of the games in the seriesdon't all the "side" games have their own shitty gimmick that makes playing them dull?
>>729344785xehanort has terra's bodyterra's heart becomes the guardian (if nomura wasnt a retard)the armor is neither a nobody, heartless, or anything like that. its legit terra's emotions being so strong they manifestremember, hearts turn to heartless.bodies turn to nobodies. its confusing to be confusing, because nomura thinks thats deep writing
>>729344427prease resprond
>>729337685I still don't think there is an explicitly "bad" KH game. The discussion is blown up out of proportion because KH1 and KH2 are standouts and arguably some of the greatest ARPGs of all time, but even the worst KH game (___Days___) is still a half-decent ARPG at least.At least up to the superbosses. One could argue they shouldn't count because they're meant for autists already, but BBS's MF as Terra is iconic in its terribleness. It cannot be understated.
>>7293452131.5 has the first game, a sequel to the first game, and a movie of a game that happens in parralel to the sequel2.5 has 2, the prequel to everything so far that has been mentioned called birth by sleep, and a movie for the most meaningless game in the series which can be wholely ignored, recodedi am unsure of what vol 3 is. if it is the 2.8 collection, that has DDD which is honestly a terrible game slapped together with a kinda fun pokemon like system, a movie for a prequel of EVERYTHING (that is now out of date information) and a demo game for 3 called 0.2, which is a sequel to birth by sleep and only like 2 hours long.and then 3 is the current traditional game, with melody of memory being the overall most current game (adds jack shit in terms of lore, its just a music game)
>>729344427Buy 1.5+2.5(not sure you can buy them seperately outside of the ps3 versions) and play 1, CoM and 2 which are the original trilogy.Chain of Memories is a you love it or hate it kinda deal.Try out CoM on the collection and see how you feel about it.If you like the idea of the card system, but hate the execution emulate the original GBA version and if you don't fuck with it at all just youtube the cutscenes.2 ends in a pretty conclusive manner so beat those 3 games first and see from there if you hunger for more.
>>729342012shut up and go to bed. you're completely wrong
>>729342012>unironically breaking your own games
>>729337685Yeah, play 1, try CoM, play 2, and you're done with the series.
>>729344248>>729344785you're both fucking retarded. Xehanort is forcing Terra's heart to the side but is unable to completely separate it, so it becomes the attatched heartless. He never lost his heart completely, so how would he be a traditional heartless?
I have a 8 week vacation starting next week, do you guys think it's enough to start this series?Feels like a now or never situation
>>729350648Sure. You'll drop it at DDD anyway.
>>729337685>Is the Kingdom Hearts series worth playing?Yes>Should I play Recoded and 358/2 on DS since they are cutscenes in the collections?YesUse the Melon Mix mod, you can even do cutscene replacement with the 1.5+2.5 scenesDays comes AFTER KHII despite its place in the 1.5+2.5 menu
>>729345536Brother nobody's buying 1.5 and 2.5 separately in 2025
>>729342012>3 is one of the worst games I ever played.You have had the incredible fortune of having never played a bad game in your life.
>>729350975elaborate? I might just play 1 and 2 or just the whole first collection but as a consoomer I feel like I should buy the whole thing.Also square never ever gives deep discounts on their JRPGs
>>729351440It just means he hates DDD and thinks it ruined the series>but as a consoomer I feel like I should buy the whole thing.I will say the bundle going for 50 bucks is a great deal.Right now they're all at the lowest price they've ever been, separately and as a bundle.I think personally every game is worth playing, but it's your money.
