Kingdom Hearts is at worst my second favorite franchise, and realistically maybe it is above LoZ for number one.
So understand how much this means coming from me. It is Kingdom Hearts.... and it isn't remotely close. 1st round 1st minute knockout... MGS is damn coherent compared to KH. ... Copied to Clipboard!

MGS is just really long across many games. Continuity lockout I think its called? Agreed. For this reason I actually think it's BlazBlue. Both MGS and KH seem insanely convoluted if you're trying to explain it to someone who hasn't actually played the games, but if you play them and are at all paying attention (yes, even for KH) I don't feel like either one is difficult to keep up with at all. KH is a bit tougher because you have to play a bunch of side games but that's kind of your fault if you don't. BlazBlue by comparison you can play, pay attention and still not know wtf is happening unless you check a wiki. --- Let the voice of love take you higher, With this gathering power, go beyond even time! ...

LeonhartFour 02/10/18 9:51:22 PM #29: |
Yeah, I don't think KH is necessarily hard to keep up with if you play all the games. It's not hard to explain. The explanation just sounds absurd. Same with MGS.
Zero Escape is convoluted because of all the different timelines across three games, and it can be hard to keep straight what happens on which timeline. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Blazblue is probably the right type of answer here. It or Guilty Gear or Mortal Kombat or something. Definitely a fighter. Trying to untangle which of the story modes and supplemental material are canon when half of them contradict each other is a real chore. I think it's probably not Blazblue just because there's less material to sift through than with the longer running franchises even if it's more efficiently contrived but yeah.

if we removed the series qualifier, I would say Killer7's plot is pretty dense and weird and impossible to explain to anyone who hasn't played the game

I don't really pay enough attention to MK's plot to be able to effectively argue its complexity or even be absolutely certain you're wrong, but I do think you're probably underselling it as I don't think I've played any fighters that I'd say have "simple" plots.

Punnyz 02/11/18 2:17:10 AM #38: |
Yea, Blazblue
the story is basically a VN with branching paths and different endings for each character across multiple games and spoilers theres a bunch of weird time\dimension shit going on so it makes EVERYTHING canon on top of other stupid bullshit and not only that, its a fighting game, so you STILL don't get all of the story in the games --- ...

I'd actually argue the opposite. The only time fighting games get convoluted is if you go in assuming every single character's story is true and then trying to figure out how they all fit together. A majority of fighting game series make it very clear what's true and what's not in the next installment. Beat Tekken 3 and not sure who won? Don't worry, Tekken 4 told you. Most fighting games follow that logic. They're only complicated if you make them. Now, the fact that you typically have to wait for the next installment to know for sure does make them... Something, but I wouldn't say convoluted. Especially since you can sorta figure it out based on tossing aside all the secondary characters that have little plot relevance and then just piecing together what happened with the main characters. Blazblue is unique in that it's basically a VN built onto a fighting game frame. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard!
