I don't understand the Kingdom Hearts series. Which ones are actually games and which ones are worth playing?
Play 1 blind. I don't care how you play it, but don't google shit or listen to what anyone has to say about the rest of the series. Then come back and ask again.
>>737404668Kingdom Hearts is not worth it. Play the first game, if you must, and then drop the series.
>>737404668They're all games. Though days and I think coded are just the cutscenes in those packs cause gay DS antics not being translatable to anything else. 2.8 has a full game and a small prequel to 3 similar to MGS Ground Zeroes. You COULD just play 1, 2 and 3 but you'll be confused as fuck. Just try them all, if you had the gimmick of one of the side games, just look up the synopsis and move on
>>737404668you play the originals, and then the .5s
If you're not in a hurry all of the playable ones are worth playing at least once. If you want to marathon them then you can skip a few to not burn out and focus on the actually good ones. I, Re:CoM, II and III are the actually good ones.
>>737404916*hate the gimmick
>>737404668All KH games are important to some degree
>>737404668>which ones are actually gamesThey're all games, though the collections turn '358/2 Days' and Re:Coded into movies. The collections also don't include the (now defunct) mobile games but do have a CG movie covering some of the story from a different perspective than the player characters>which ones are worth playingUnfortunately, ALL of them. There's no game that doesn't have important lore and story bits that pop up in future games.Also, play them in release order NOT the order on the collections. They put Days in front of KH2 and while it can be experienced that way ,it's better to go in with only the knowledge of KH1 and Re:CoM (because nothing really important to the events of KH2 happen in Days that isn't at least partially explained in CoM or KH2, while the events of Days are more important to FUTURE games like Coded, DDD and KH3).
Unless you are 13 years old, none of them. They are aimed at a younger audience. So unless you're a 'Disney adult' there isn't much point in playing them over something aimed more at your own demo.
>>737405249>Kingdom Hearts>Disney AdultLOL noDisney Adults don't even play this shit>t:lives with one
>>737405301KH would be way too confusing for a Disney adult
>>737404668Days, Coded and a fucking cell phone game are cutscenes only with none of the game part in that collection. The phone game was so bad they didn't really use any of the cutscenes or plot from it and just made their own shit. If you want to know which you can skip, just skip everything that isn't the original, 2 or 3. There's fun games besides that, but you're really getting a shittier version of something you've already played with those.
>>737404668Dude. At this point? None. Just watch it.
>>737404668The first three, and that's it. You can delve into the others if you really like the gameplay, but story-wise? There is shit that ties into shit that ties into shit, but all of it, ALL of it, is anime flashback filler arc tier that shows you the motivations of a fucking wombat in another world 2000 years ago that indirectly lead to the formation of the Guild of Obstinate Aardvarks that has one remaining member who did a thing one time in the three main games. The one meaningful exception to this would be Chain of Memories which happens immediately between 1 and 2, but the intro of 2 tells and gets you re-involved in everything that mattered from that game.
