| masterpug53 12/12/18 7:55:17 PM #70 | PerseusRad posted... masterpug53 posted...dave_is_slick posted...They objectively aren't spin-offs. But therein lies the flaw: if the writers were competent, this information would have been in the main series games. It paints a very clear picture that they're just making shit up as they go when vital plot information is scattered over several games outside of the main series, and is why KH's plot has rightfully become a punchline in the gaming community. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

| masterpug53 12/12/18 7:52:37 PM #68 | Inferno Dive Dragoon posted... I've only played KH1, 2, and CoM and honestly, after hearing how convoluted the plot became with the later games (with CoM already making the water muddy) I just gave up on the series. Same (minus CoM, tried playing it twice and couldn't get into it, I hate card-battle games). The more I heard about the series post-KH2, the less interested I became. There was a time that I nearly bought a PS3 under the assumption that Final Fantasy 15 and KH3 would make the system must-buys. There was a big KH3 reveal at E3 some years back that just looked like recycled PS2 footage, and it was at that point that my interest in the continuation of the series bottomed out completely. Apart from the diehard fanbase (the size of which I honestly have no idea), the Disney worlds angle is the only thing that's going to sell this game to anyone on the fence. I know this is obvious at face-value, but honestly, this was one of KH2's weaker areas over 1. The PotC section was particularly glaring - the graphics were tremendously impressive for the time, but other than that, it was largely shot-for-shot rehashes of the movies with bargain-bin voice acting and little or no music. They're really gonna have to step up the charm of the Disney sections of the game imo. I'm not sure why I have such an interest in this topic, because I have no intention of buying KH3. I guess I'm just lamenting over a series I used to love. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

Are you one of those people that doesn't realize that Scrubs: Med School (aka 'Season 9' after it flopped and they had to try and push the DVD sales) was a spinoff? When you have a different core cast, different plot, and different setting / timetable than the main series, it's a spinoff, and is not something that should contain plot information vital to the main series. So I'll ask you a few questions. Do the two games you mentioned star Sora, Donald, and Goofy? Do they take place as direct successors timetable-wise to KH2? Are the plots direct continuations of the events of KH2? Perhaps you can provide examples of other venerated series where such vital information is handled by series entries that are not designated as part of the main series? Will I suddenly find myself lost in A Song of Ice and Fire if I haven't read Dunk and Egg? How about Harry Potter if I have read Fantastic Beasts? Some examples of other series that do this would be nice, wouldn't want to think that Nomura is just making up his own damn rules of story structure or anything. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

That doesn't refute my point, it actually helps it. They should have been main series entries if they're so important, or they should have had their stories woven in as part of a main series title, like Roxas' intro in KH2 (another format option would have been FF 8's Laguna flashbacks). If they're too complex to fit into a main series game, then the creator / writers need to learn how to edit the fluff. There's really no excusing shuffling vital overarching plot points into side games to the point where numbered entry-only players will be lost, and if I'm being perfectly honest, I hope KH3 gets critically eviscerated for it. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

A YouTube reviewer called Angry Joe will be starting with KH3 and has said that if he doesnt understand the story, he will hold that as a negative against the game. As well he should. Spinoff games, movies, novels, etc are meant for side stories that, while they may enhance the plot and understanding of the main series, should not be essential to said overall plot. If I go straight from Two Towers into Return of the King and am suddenly lost plot-wise because I didn't watch two straight-to-home-video side movies and listen to an exclusive audio book and play a video game tie-in released on the Atari Lynx, I would be rightfully pissed off and lose interest. So as far as I know from playing the main entries in the series, Xehanort / Xemnas as they appear in KH 2 are the true main antagonists of the series. If this particular plot point goes any deeper than this without being first revealed in KH 3 (spoiler alert: --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

| masterpug53 12/07/18 4:59:24 PM #50 | TerrifyingRei posted... so what did the update even add? bunch of Christmas themed bullshit i bet As much as I've been opposed to CC and not been interested in their content thus far (apart from Rare Curios, which was like a crossover from a parallel universe where Bethesda's actually being competent with this shit), it looks like they've actually got some halfway decent content with this round. The Trainwiz dungeon looks like some actual meaty content, the Vigilant armor looks good, even the aforementioned Christmas-y mod has a nice outfit. They're finally taking some baby steps towards unique content instead of just rehashing items from past games. It's all still overpriced fluff, but it's finally overpriced fluff that my hopelessly addicted ass is considering shelling out for.
