Poll of the Day > Finally playing Kingdom Hearts 3.

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is the first video game Ive legitimately played in at least two years. And the last one I expect to for a good while.

Here we do :D

Why?

Also, Im playing, too. I might stream tonight. Not sure yet...
---

Kingdom Hearts 3 is practically infamous for how terrible the writing is at this point.
---

As long as the gameplay is fun, it should be fine... So far, Id had fun...
---

It's ok

It's very pretty if anything

But uhh... don't expect much in the way of good writing or a fruitful conclusion

Apparently there wasnt a solid conclusion

In fact it set the series up for even more of a story line ._.

Because Im visiting home for a couple of days and my brother owns the game. Its the only one in the series I havent played so Ive been looking forward to it.

Super pretty for sure. Im in Olympus rn. Gorgeous.

Lmao @ KH2.9

I've been playing it. Just got Ultima Weapon.

I just got back into it, Im at the pirate world, which I think is the last one before I start the final phase of the game
---

It's a good game and despite what some folk moan about I enjoyed the conclusion to the saga. Pacing is a little off though but eh at least we got Toy Story as a world at last.
---

Jeez that was the longest world ever. And between the last save point of OLympus and the first of TT, it was 50 minutes! Thats way too long to go without saving.

all of the worlds are pretty long in this game.

I hated that.

after how the series has gone on for years and years for the sake of profit there's no way they weren't going to milk it even further.
---

Moving on to Twilight Town.

Too little too late.

I thought KH2 final mix was better by a long shot.
---

This was a fun world. The computer talk is kinda nonsense but Im excited to see how this Roxas stuff plays out.

But I thought the heart inside Sora was Ventus, not Roxas?

So far Im intrigued by what are Xemnas/Ansem/Xigbar up to. I know theyre trying to use Sora as the 13th vessel for Xeanhort, but whats the other iron in the fire? :0000 exciting!!!!!

Gummy travel is fun in this one. But I probably wont do much exploring or fighting.

I think Im gonna go to Tangled next, even though I think its leading me to Toy Story.

it's both. plus Xion.

I couldn't agree more.

KH2's ending felt more like a solid conclusion to the series than KH3's. KH2's secret ending and epilogue were better at teasing potential future games as well too.

And then there's the gameplay. KH2's gameplay is the peak of the series. Meanwhile KH3's gameplay feels worse in some areas than even the handheld games such as BBS and DDD...
I can only hope that the future DLC fixes some of KH3's issues.

Shocking. I mean Kingdom Hearts 3 final mix will probably be better as it will offer more content. Kingdom Hearts 3 however is better than Kingdom Hearts 2 base game as it should be. Some folk prase KH 2: FM way too much..

I mostly liked the satisfaction of beating Organization XIII on the insane difficulty, whatever that was called. Personally, the game had a very satisfying battle style.

KH3 kind of peters out near the end.

Also, the most important thing to keep in mind at all times is "this looks like a good spot to find some ingredients!"

Yeah, fuck that. So annoying.

that's a long movie.

there are fewer, longer worlds, which i don't necessarily have a problem but it did end up with some of them feeling really drawn out.

Critical mode has been added to Kingdom Hearts 3. It's actually decent. I hope more battle gates are added to Kingdom Hearts 3 that will equal the Battle Portals found in KH 2: FM.

I felt some of them are way too short to be honest. I never had any issue with the longer worlds. It's certainly a improvement for the most part.

I liked it more than the previous ones, but still couldn't finish it... Maybe 20 hours into it.

Toy Story time!
I think this is the only world whose movie Ive seen.

It's a shame that the mainline games can't go back to the platforming style of the original game, since Sora is canonically so physically capable now. KH2 was utterly lacking in platforming elements; they did bring it back in KH3 which I loved, but it didn't quite feel the same as the original.
---

I was happy the worlds are more vertical in KH 3 but more importantly populated.

You should watch the others.

Critical mode has been added to Kingdom Hearts 3

Too little, too late. Should have been an option to start the game with. (Or at least when the game came out, it wasn't.)
---

Toy Box was a lot of fun!

Picking up tomorrow.

It's not like no one else will ever buy the game..

Critical mode has never been part of the base game in the series. It's always been added via a final mix or in this case a patch.

I'd rate KH3 about a 7 or 8.
The writing is bad. Some of the world's are kinda lame overall (frozen mostly since you impact the story 0), but I did have fun with the game (got the plat) and they at least tried some new things like the Gummi Ship stuff, gameplay was fun.
---

Frozen world!

wth this level is so hard.

you should have done Monsters Inc first.

What mode are you playing on? I found proud mode to be very easy in this entry.

Normal mode. I started this world at level 10 and was dying real quick.

The worlds gave a recommended level.

Okay cool I just finished the Monsters world. Seeing Vanitas was neat but why arent we fighting anyone!!!

So the true organization is 13 (currently 12) people, and those people are Old Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Marluxia, Larxene, Demyx, Luxord, Vexen, Saix, Vanitas, and Xigbar, right? And theyre wanting Sora to be the last?

And I dont know why the seven lights are, but the new seven hearts belong to Kairi, Rapunzel, Elsa, Anna, and three others....

And inside Sora are The hearts of himself, Ven, Roxas, and Xion. But he STILL hasnt learned the Power of Waking and Riku still hasnt found Aqua so....

Mal and Pete are still around, too?

Mal and Pete do absolutely nothing.
---

Pirates world!!!!

Get comfortable.

Oof
