On Kingdom Hearts – Plot, Side Stories and Other Nonsense

Ugh..I am so sick of people thinking it’s one of the best game series of all time. The only reason why Kingdom Hearts is popular is because of hardcore Disney nerds. It is definitely not the best game ever made.

bradtramel4444d ago

I don't think you've ever played a Kingdom Hearts before, sir. No, it may not be the "best game ever made," but it certainly is great.

ritsuka6664444d ago

I have played every Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 game myself, and therefore, I have the right to make fun of the series and how horrible it is on some aspects.

Keroyx4444d ago

I don't think the series is great because of 'hardcore' Disney fans, but the fact that people were interested in seeing the outcome of such an odd crossover. It's not perfect, but it's done pretty damn well considering it's initial concept.

And despite all that, I still have this fear that Square-Enix will do to this what they did to Final Fantasy VII: Movie, needless side stories, ignoring fan outcries for a remake...

rezzah4444d ago

No game is the best game ever made.

KH is one of my favorite game series of all time though.

I have to strongly disagree as Half Life is the greatest series in video gaming history, followed by the Deux Ex series.

I only keep buying these games because I want closure to the series. The games are great as far as being fun, but the plot has only gotten progressively worse with each new iteration with new games being released to just expand on side stories I wasn't interested in in the first place.
I'll always remember Kingdom Hearts as the series with great potential ruined by Square Enix's greed.

I for one love the series and dont go on a post to shit on it :)

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle13d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger13d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag13d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg17d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
