Can slop have soul or are the two mutually exclusive? Pic rel I would consider a slop game but it displays a lot of soul.
If you enjoyed it then it's not "slop". Stop being insecure about liking something.
There's nothing slop about KH1 the game is 100% pure SOVL. The definition of slop is low quality low effort garbage and that's not the first KH game, combining two wildly different IPs that absolutely shouldn't work together but somehow do is peak creativity and we'll never see its like again even in the same series.
>>738219156The story is shitty but it often seems like an earnest attempt at making the best game they could. I certainly wouldn't call a game "slop" or "soul," but I'd recommend it to someone looking for a decent action RPG and also say they might as well skip all the cutscenes.
>>738219265You made me think of my friend who likes Danganronpa and Steven Universe but he has to make it known he thinks they’re shit every time they’re brought up. Insecure behavior.
>>738219156There's nothing "slop" like about a Square-SOFT game, made for a PS2, tapping into oldschool FF and Disney IPs."Slop" by very definition equals soulless, manufactured, played safe, forgettable and disposable.
why would you call this particular game "slop" OP?
>>738223412Because it was hardly noteworthy at the time of release it was later made great by KH2 that elevated it into cult status. Had KH1 been a one off game by Squeenix it would of been looked back on with confusion not love because it wouldn't have all the contrarians constantly claiming its better than KH2
>>738224009Not true. If KH1 was stand alone it would be a beloved cult classic talked about constantly to this day.
>>738224009>it was hardly noteworthy at the time of releaseKH1 is the 10th best-selling PS2 gameIt was huge and you're too young to have been there.
>>738224009>>738224009>Because it was hardly noteworthy at the time of release it was later made great by KH2 that elevated it into cult status.>Squeenixzoomers really does have a larp problem
>>738224763>>738224878Please. I played it on release. >Top PS2 game of 2002Is /v/ now saying if a game sells well that means its good? Truly I've seen it all.
>>738224009>the disney and squaresoft crossover game wasn't popular or noteworthyok.
>>738225556>hardly noteworthy at the timeYou weren't there, child. It's obvious.
>>738219156I have slop fatigue
>>738219156This game was made before you were born. and it sucked
>>738219524hes right though
>>738227770Dangit Ron Paul makes some sense because it relies heavily on plot twists and generally knowing something's up without knowing why. Then those plot twists happen and they suck. I can imagine loving most of the game and then at the end, hating it.
>>738219156>SlopThis game was pretty far from slop>Unique Action RPG gameplay that was entirely innovative>chuuni fusion of disney and ffSlop can have soul, but I don't think a game as unique as KH(1) can be slop
If KH 1 came out today it would be called Multiverse Slop
It's not slop it's a quality product. Now fuck off.
>That word againI'm not looking forward to what the final count will look like when this year is over
>>738228918KH could not be made today, it's a product of its time. Even then, I think a higher budget modern KH1 would only fall under slop because square would do something retarded like add yellow paint
>>738224009I don't think that really fits into the usual slop definition.Slop is lazily made thing meant to just feed the masses that's uninteresting. KH quite clearly has, or at least had, passion behind it. I could understand maybe calling KH3 slop, but even there you have Nomura's autism overflowing.
>>738219156far cry primal is pure sovl slop
>>738219156Kingdom Hearts lost its heart, soul, whatever many years ago. Between...Inconsistent gameplay quality.Seriously bad story filled with awful writing.Ran out of iconic big time Disney Classics besides The Incredibles that has yet to be utilizedKingdom Hearts has no more fuel in the tank. I will be amazed in Kingdom Hearts 4 managed to sell even three million units. Because this series has lost a lot of goodwill.
>>738219524Nah, I get it. Sometimes certain things tickle a part of your suppressed autism but you recognize as an emotionally developed person with standards that it's dogshit otherwise.
>>738229125Kingdom Hearts was a product of when people had more good memories of Disney than bad.
>>738228918KH1 does multiverse well.KH2 is the one who does it in a somewhat sloppy way, but they at least had an interesting main story.KH3 is the sloppiest of the bunch.
>>738224009>Because it was hardly noteworthy at the time of releasenice bait gayboy
>>738229003whats the YTD so far? spoonfeed me
>>738224763I never played it but I remember there were commercials for it everywhere for months, playing Simple and Clean all over the place.
>>738219156I’m too old for Kingdom Hearts now. Just the thought of playing it puts me in an existential crisis.
>>738229325It's>56737 right now, probably will strike around 200000 this timeI hate this word if you couldn't tell
>>738229646>I hate this word if you couldn't tellsame, anon. same. i don't even want one of these things at retail it's just the principle
>>738229003>>738229646Archiverslop
>>738219156If they tried to be self-aware and ironic about it, maybe I'd call at least the story slop. The fact that they played it straight makes it cringe-kino. It's the same reason TGT works. Anyone who sees a game pitching itself as>Disney x FF and was expecting something different is just an idiot.As far as gameplay goes it's genuinely a very good ARPG that really emphasizes feeling the MC grow stronger and more competent as the game progresses (to the point where you need to learn to dodge, roll and do basic gap closers).
>>738228918It's not a multiverse at all
>>738229895>1+
>>738225556That was a time when good games sold well and bad games didn't, yes. I know it's probably a foreign concept for someone born in 2010.
