Another week, another palpable setlist of great music!
This week features:
Tetrisphere, Kingdom Hearts II, Super Smash Bros Melee, SteamWorld Dig, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Brink, Jetpack Joyride
Kingdom Hearts 2 is a massive sequel that improves upon nearly everything from its predecessor, but the risky prologue is what left the biggest lasting mark.
I like this series but I wish they would tone down all the different releases. Atleast release them consistently on the same gaming machine so it can be followed. I read last week they got a kh for my damn washing machine it's super annoying. Kidding about the washing machine.
Now but not originally and a few of them are just 3 hours worth of cutscenes so almost but not quite.
Yea, now. But years ago you had to get a PS2, Gameboy, PSP, a phone that could play Coded, DS, 3DS. After they finally came around with the remasters they put the last collection instead on the PS4 before re-releasing all collections on the PS4. Then they decided to put very important story parts on a mobile game, and are now AGAIN putting more important story stuff on another mobile game. Not to mention the rhythm game also has story stuff. This game is a mess, and needlessly hard to follow. Who knows if they'll skip the PS4 for KH4 and instead make it a PS5 only game seeing as they made the FF7 dlc ps5 only.
I love this series but you really had to commit to it if you wanted to play it all lol
@ shin
You say you wished all the games were on the same system and now they mostly are
@ Inv
We’re living in the now right now, hence my comment
KH4 obviously isn’t going to be on PS4.
Not saying the series is perfect, but there is a way to enjoy majority of the franchise on a variety of modern platforms
Oh totally
Like if you want to make a complicated story, cool I guess, but if you separate them onto so many platforms then how the hell am I supposed to keep up
Things were confusing before KH2 when they released Chain of Memories and that was one game, I basically just went through it on Youtube as a kid as I didn't have money and I then enjoyed KH2 a lot more as I knew what was going on.
I think that's what really hurt KH3 for me, they even added plot points from the online game they have going on in Japan, even the side plot with Maleficent and Pete with the box is from that, something which is setting up the next game. I'm sorry but I can't be excited when all this stuff is from a game I don't have any interest to play, they just assume like you've played it.
Oh remember that kid who appeared in the Keyblade graveyard fight, who helped you? Yeah he was from that game aswell, I had no idea but it seemed like a big reveal.
They really need to reboot it next but they won't.
KH2 was peak KH, it's all downhill from there, if the succeeding games had been as interesting and fun as KH2 I'd still be into the series.
I don't know man. The combat's great and I've had loads of fun with KH2 gameplay, but when it comes to traveling, it is mostly just straightforward. Hell I'll have the audacity to say every world is a long pretty corridor. All I have to do is learn that fly ability and hold down the square button that way I go from the entrance straight to the exit. And they say FF13 is linear? LOL.
Still, the worlds in KH2 was more fun then I've had with any of the KH3 worlds despite the linearity (I don't remember KH3 or anything after KH2 being noticeably more open). I'm pretty happy with how traveling worked/was designed in KH2.
I wish I could get into this series. It just makes me cringe so hard with all the whole ”anything can be done with the power of friendship!” Plus the stages themselves I always felt were lackluster.
I think the more serious parts of the story are cool, but man… I tried so hard and I just couldn’t.
I found the whole cringe thing got worse in KH3, I don't know how or why....I thought it would have gotten a bit more mature but there was some really bad bits.
Yeah it definitely left a lasting mark on me.. everytime i think about KH2 and remember the prologue i almost immediately fall asleep on the spot.
Takes 45 mins to do. 3 hours for first timers. It was good to learn about Roxas. Who is a fan favorite.
i really like the series, but it dwindled woth the release of kh2.
the "friendship is my power" was so cringe. even as a child.
after that, the story ... well lol. just a mess.
Nintendo's little purple square didn't get the acclaim at the time, but the best GameCube games show what a powerhouse it really was.
Oh man... FZero. That is actually the only game I ever got sick off of. And Im not talking motion sick but full on seizure induced sick. It was so damn fast that my eyes just couldnt keep up and I found myself waking up in the hospital. Havent even tried to play it since, nearly 20 years ago. I can play wipeout, fast racing RMX, burnout... lots of other really fast racing games no problem. FZero really F'd me up that day.
Other cube games I never get tired of playing are mario kart dd, metroid prime, rogue leader and ikaruga
Man, we need a Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2 remake, along with F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime 1,2,3, can't forget Eternal Darkness, damn that game was amazing, Baten Kaitos as well. Noticed I said remake not remaster, I would love them to be remade in a whole new engine brought up to at least 2022 standards.😊 Remade on Switch and ones that are 3rd party can go multi-platform.
Honestly that console was up there in my top 3. So many good innovative games. Eternal Darkness was brilliant with the way it messed with you….aka your controller is disconnected… lol. Metroid, Zelda, Viewtiful Joe, and so many others. I miss playing them. Been thinking of buying a GameCube and jumping back into the nostalgia.
Super Smash Bros. Melee tournaments usually have decent payouts for those in the top five, sometimes even top ten places. But a recent Community Effort Orlando Series tournament (CEO) saw player Hungrybox earning only $75 for his spot in fifth.
Isn't this posted at the beginning of the tournament. A website or flyer or something should tell people what the payout is. I'm not outraged lol.
I'm surprised he got anything.. 1st and runner up usually are the proceeds beneficiaries... People just fake outraging lol
