Playing these two side by side makes it blisteringly clear how much of a problem modern Disney is, not just for the Kingdom Hearts series, but for culture in general.
>>737478225Explain
>>737478225Why the fuck would you even compare these two games?
>>737478225feel like the problem in kh3 was that there wasn't enough disney. gave too much power to whoever decided that the focus should be the oc stuff and not disney/ff stuff that was the whole point of the series
>>737478351Tetsuya Nomura>>737478274Stranger of Paradise is an extremely competent, well designed, fun, challenging action game, with a great story. The only real "problem" it has is its loot system, which it seems like is designed to be ignored. Other than that it's a genuine 9/10. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a hyper casualized, aggressively easy, braindead, infantilizing, ADHD, forced positivity, "we're going to resurrect dead characters just so we can give them a happy ending ... oh we're also going to make Xehanort out to be the devil, forgive him, and let him into heaven too", Rise of Skywalker tier storytelling mess. Everything wrong with it seems like it comes from a Disney mandate: like the lack of Final Fantasy characters, the theme park ride finishing moves that trigger way to easily and clear the screen, every character being given a happy ending even if it ruins the tragic but narratively satisfying ending they already had and makes zero sense, and generally the way it disrespects the player. It's very "Disney product" that way.
>>737478635>Tetsuya NomuraWhat about him? He didn't direct this game and the gameplay was entirely done by Team Ninja, if you want something else like SoP you're barking at the wrong tree you should be looking at the Nioh series, especially Nioh 2
>>737478710>he didn't direct this gameSure. He just designed the characters and the story and hand picked the director and the team and had so much power over the project he was able to threaten to cancel it if they couldn't license Frank Sinatra. He's not credited as a director, but that's a little sus.
KH3's problems lie in the following:>too easy before the critical mode patch went live, critical mode is poorly balanced and unfair>bonus commands too plentiful, even with the patch that allows the player to turn off attractions>flowmotion and shotlock are bullshit mechanics that make gameplay boring>no need to return to worlds, you just wrap up and move on to the next>non-pixar worlds play too close to the movies, the best parts of old KH was the twisting of disney stories to have the KH lore inside of it>story just ends out of nowhere, keyblade graveyard battle feels like the midway point of the game like the 1000 heartless battle in KH2 felt>too many plot elements hinge on a japan only mobile gamethere is probably more but i haven't played KH3 since release. this is just what i remember.
>>737478635I liked kingdom hearts 3 more. Paradise was just nonsense game. It's one of those games that you remember that you did play but don't remember anything about.
>>737479085>It's one of those games that you remember that you did play but don't remember anything about.
>>737479085>>737479139>CHAOS
At least KH had combat roll and Kh2 some fun push Triangles to win, but who the fuck likes KH3? I dropped that shit on the first boss it felt so wishy washy compared to KH1 which felt like an honest at attempt at something unsual, Disney with squaresoft chars? Very unusual for the time, Even Chain of Memories was aight for being portable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nKizH5TV_gand lets be real the opening feels good
>>737478635>Stranger of Paradise is an extremely competent, well designed, fun, challenging action game, with a great story.
>>737479361Shut up, Chaos.
>>737479361Only someone who didn't play it would think that. It was memed to hell and back, but the game was actually fucking fantastic.
I promise you. I will remember.
>>737478710>>737478803Reminder: Nomura is a giant faggot and ever project he leads turns into a schizophrenic mess.
>>737479634Yea try telling me that again without the dildo in your ass and at least 20 more IQ points.
