Kingdom Hearts III - Pre-Order Now To Unlock The Magic - January 29, 2019!

7hrs in, and am just about to Corona. Oddly, I picked this up at launch and only played it Sat. and Sun. Then had no urge at all to play it the entire week - finally played for 30 mins last night, then turned it off.

Something about it just doesn't sit right with me - but I have not played, or thought about it enough to figure it out. It's like I don't care.

In the 13 years between KH2 and KH3, you got old and the original magic and love you had for this series faded.

Or more like the first "half" of the game is literally fucking around until the plot starts happening for no reason other than "We ran out of things to do"

My youthful vigor has kept my love and hype for this game at peak levels. Haters gonna hate!

I agree with him. Buncha old fogeys up in here.

30 is the new 16, get with the times gramps.

I wont deny, this is very possible. I did get incredibly old the last 3 years... older than normal.

The story goes absolutely no where for 3/4ths of the game and even then I felt like it was just unthoughtful. The combat is fun but it feels like they didn't wanna get lost in the shuffle of current action RPG games and so they added so much shit you can do that it's purposeless. Having a bunch of enemies spawn and then blown to bits with an Aeroza is cool and shit but ... yeah. I'm fine with the combat but the thing that did it in for me was the story. Just very displeased with the direction they took. I expected more substance from all the material they had to work with.

Granted, the game was at a huge disadvantage for a lot of things since they waited so long to shit it out. I imagine if they got into the nitty gritty stuff storywise, it would've been too alienating for newcomers. Even more so than it already is tbh. The 3min. videos explaining the past games is only slightly understandable. I told my friend to watch a 30min. recap video on youtube instead and then if needed, I can try to explain shit further for him

Actually, your post did remind me of one of the things I don't like about KHIII so far - the CSs are WAY TOO SLOW! FFXIV had this same issue, 90 second fade from black, characters walk half a mile to their marks, someone says a 4 word sentence, 15 second pause, someone repeats 4 word sentence as a question, 15 second pause, someone blinks then says... wait for it... "yeah", 90 second fade to black... battle for 3 mins, uh oh, new CS.

If the story goes nowhere for 3/4ths of the game - this will be painful.

I don't hate this game (yet), but I am disappointed with it so far.

[Elcura]

Some of the Disney worlds are bunk but the ones that actually told a unique story (like Toy Story) were fun to watch. But I mean this is the story continuation to what is already a story heavy series...I do wonder what some people expect when playing this, cause it's pretty much like all other KH games in that regard.

Maybe the same treatment FFXV and MGS5 got? God that would be painful. I'd rather have a story I can skip than not.

Welp, just farming for crafting materials took me from level 45 to 88 +_+. And I'm still missing 4 last little pieces to finish my synthesis log. Albeit, I did do all the battle gates as well so that added probably a good 10~15'ish levels too. The final battle gate fight was stupid easy (did it around level 55~60 if I remember correctly). I will say that between Final Form with Ultima Weapon and Rage Form, you can just mash X and inconsequentially plow through everything. EVERYTHING. With little to no strategy even on Proud.

After that, just have to do mini-game hell, spam shotlocks and links and the Gummi Ship secret boss and this game will be done-zo

Omega can be a bit of a douche if you try to spearhead him without an doughnut ship.

lol I remember the donut from previous games. Is that the way to go again for harder gummi fights.

[Gokulo]

It is. Although I never bothered doing it and still didn't have problems. You can easily get Endymion from constellation, clear Szwarz with it which will give you a golden highwind that steamrolls everything

[Rooney]

Anyone else think synthesis was badly balanced? I can make potions/ethers, but basically little/no equipment, which is all behind what I have from chests. I can see why everyone is saying it's a grind. I am thankful 100 acre wood was so short this time around.

[Tyrath]

Synthesis is super badly balanced. I've barely used it for anything and I am scared of when it comes time to make one of everything.

Im about to finish Pirates of the Carribean. There is story outside of the worlds and small Cameo's of villians so far?

The only items that seemed worth it are endgame weapons. Pretty much all the best accessories come elsewhere.

Actually making stuff isn't that bad when you beat the game and get access to battle gates, before that though it's a pain.

[Malithar]

I dunno why, but hitting San Fransokyo marked a big decrease in interest in the game for me. I had a 65 hour week that's over with now, but I'm not really feeling picking it back up. It seems like a cool world, but the sheer scope of it just seems a little daunting. The verticality is cool and all, but when I get to the top of a building or tower, I expect there to be something there. Most cases, there's not.

[Rooney]

That's been my other main gripe so far. Literally pointless areas. Like the huge area over the entrance to Galaxy Toys. It even has 4 airstep points to get up there, and there is not a damn thing there.
