spicy take: i don get what makes kh so confusing to people compared to other long running gams/franchises

I mean it's a Disney action rpg if you like Disney it's good

should i play it if my only experience with the whole series is watching a 3 hour video of all the cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts 358 / 2 Days

Looking forward to reading this tonight lol

Honestly just following critics you like on Twitter does most of the work as they tend to make sure to advertise their latest published pieces.

If you want to know what Tim Roger's taste is like, the Action Button best games list is probably pretty indicative. The problem with Tim's old stuff is that it's very loquacious--they are clearly hobby project writings--but they're still fun reads.

Though I'll be with Tim on this one - if you're a fan of KH, you don't need to read a review.

tbh I feel like there should be a big flowchart that people have to take that will lead them to the review(s) that are relevant to their personal experience, preferences history with the franchise etc etc etc, and thus most likely to tell them if they'll enjoy the game

I can't remember when was the last time I read a review and came through more confused whether I'd like to buy a game than going into it. I don't have a console so the point is moot, but the review really was a trip.

I played it when I was too young to think things are bad so I thought it was the best thing ever.

It was a big part of my childhood and I do still think it's a fun game in spite of its problems, but it's infamous for just having Way Too Many Things. At a certain point all the Kong switching just to grab those last colored bananas starts to get a little grating. It's so over the top it's practically a self-parody of Rare collectathons

Also whoever decided you had to beat the arcade Donkey Kong on one life with no continues in order to finish the game can step on a lego.

i feel so vindicated rn thanks for all your replies

the ending is pretty cute not gonna lie

i liked it

i also liked sonic adventure 2 battle

my stepdad loved it so much that when he finally full cleared it he rigged up a way to tape the ending with a VCR

also considering how shit "gamer" opinions and tastes generally are, i really don't trust the general "gamer" consensus on games.

i fucking love dk 64. didn't realize it had a bad reputation?

this is not even a snarky post you are the only person i have ever seen say its fun. there was an old lp were the person said they liked it at first but they hated it by the end

yes

oh yeah lol forgot about that one

i don't even know who that is

pickaxe move, shovel, axe. block placing special moves, maybe sword or bow.

Thank u for the good reply.

Hulk is a great choice, probably better than Thor.

Overwatch may get in if they're doing a switch port, idk if they are though.

I don't think Undertale has a chance at all but you're definitely right that if it was in it wouldn't be sans.

Okami or Phenox Wright would own but I don't think they're popular enough or suited for a fighting game enough.

DRAGONBORN does have a big chance and I almost had them on my list until i decided on doomguy

Knuckles or Tales amaluld rule but idk if that would be a DLC level kind of thing

I'm not convinced about marvel characters, cause video games aren't their main thing. Tho also idk who has the rights to video game versions of spiderman, it could be separate from movie versions. I'd expect popularity in japan to have a strong influence(hence all the fire emblems), but I don't really know much about that, so I'm guessing, IF there was a non-spiderman marvel, it'd be Iron Man or Hulk.

MC Steve I definitely think is possible. I'm also not ruling out an Overwatch character(presumably Tracer). Undertale has the tiniest sliver of a chance imo but it wouldn't be sans, I'm betting it'd be Frisk or Papyrus.

I'm holding out vain hope for amaterasu from okami, and for Phoenix Wright.

I think John Skyrim stands a real chance, and would probably have a really interesting moveset.

Knuckles or Tails also seem possible.

I'll tell you what
