The hatred is overdone for sure the red delicious you get from your typical grocery store or cafeteria where its probably out of season and shipped from hundreds of miles away is pretty bland no doubt. But a fresh one right off of the tree is definitely refreshing. Still probably a lower tier apple regardless.

Problem with drive forms is that they unequivocally encourage grinding. I guess you could just get them "naturally" through gameplay, but why would you not just immediately get high jump rather than waiting for it to maybe get it at some undetermined time? Further, dark form discourages just using the drive forms whenever you want.

this is more along my line of thinking but I get where the prior poster is coming from. I also think with so many of the abilities not being awarded through story events it makes it hard to specialize later portions of the game around these moves, which in turn kinda limits their usage potential imo

That's how I kinda feel about the combat in general. From what I recall, you get everything besides Glide right out the gate in Olympus -- formchanges, shotlock, attractions, flowmotion, etc. I feel like they should've spaced it all out progressively through the levels.

Especially since the point of Sora's journey involves him regaining his powers and supposedly being really weak at the start. There's a serious divide between story and gameplay when you go from a scene where Maleficent laughs at Sora for being weaker than she's ever seen him, to Sora immediately bouncing off a building and summoning a roller coaster as you enter combat.

The combat is fun, but since you get everything right at the start I kinda got bored of it after a point. Spacing out where you unlock stuff throughout the game would've kept things feeling more fresh, and it would've helped it feel like Sora really was gaining his powers back as he made his way through the worlds.

Totally agreed honestly, and I say this as someone who still thinks its among the best combat in the series. In terms of progressing your move set, I feel like KH1 is the only one that REALLY does it right. KH2 is on the right track with the drive forms but those abilities are only temporary because of the drive forms, unless you grind to level them up which pretty much is always post-game if you wanna naturally get it and doesnt feel quite as satisfying. And even with stuff like glide and dodge roll it all almost feels pointless when most of the levels are just flat hallways

The attractions I just didnt really get the point of tbh, definitely the worst part of its combat. Wouldve been better if they gradually gave you some over the course of the game rather than dump them all at the beginning. I really like everything else about the combat though

Personally, command styles were one of the worst gameplay additions to the series. KH3's gameplay is essentially based command styles, which is a shame. I prefer pretty much every other entry in the series in terms of combat.

KH3's best quality is that it looks quite nice, and I'm a big fan of the way Gummi ships work. And there are a couple of good worlds in there too (Toy Story, Monsters Inc). Unfortunately the game also set a low point for the story, aside from re:coded.

man, every other entry, really? I understand not liking it, in fact the combat is probably the only aspect of KH3 that I find inferior to KH2 (but only by a inch tbh), but I think the combat of the main 3 far surpasses all the attempts made by the side games. Idk I guess I just really liked this game

My issue with KH3's pacing isn't the first thirty hours, it's the last five. For most of the game, its story works the same as KH2 where you just wander around and sometimes a member of the Organization shows up. The difference between the two is that KH3 is trying to wrap up about four or five different plotlines in those last few hours while KH2 was just wrapping up its own. The fact that KH3 has boss fights where multiple Organization members fight you at the same time that go into a lengthy cutscene in the middle of that boss fight is a cardinal sin.

KH2 was also mitigated by the fact that you do get that mid game lore dump and by the Disney worlds just being better. Most of the worlds in KH2 didn't follow the movie and It's no coincidence that the best KH3 worlds also didn't follow the movie.

I guess heres where I differ from most people in that. I quite like those last 5 hours? Its once again, not perfect, but theres some really nice emotional points in there, some nice previously unexplored character dynamics, and while the state the prior games left KH3 in was far from ideal (it IS a lot of wrapping up), I was pretty dang satisfied with it! Im not gonna argue its better or worse than KH2 in that regard, I just think that the problem at that point isnt so much the pacing as it is the decision to end the saga there. But I cant personally think of any changes Id make to how itd end. Not here to change your opinion so much as represent the portion of people who actually like the way the game told its story and find the future of it to be infinitely more exciting than it seemed 10 years ago.

I definitely prefer KH3s choice of doing less of a lore dump in the middle and more so a lore drip throughout, though I think it couldve benefitted from a KH2-esque middle point regardless. One thing I will actually argue against is the statement that most of KH2s worlds didnt follow the movie plot though. All I can think of is Tron and Hercules in that regard. I suppose Nightmare Before Christmas isnt a strict retelling but it veers closer to that than anything in KH1, or half of KH3s worlds. It feels like the worst offender of the main 3 games in that regard actually. Meanwhile in KH3 you have Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Hercules and Big Hero 6 all doing their own thing, and in the case of Pirates the plot thing is pretty much mitigated by the fact that theres like half a games worth of side adventures in there, it stops being the draw of the level. Tangled and Frozen are the real culprits here, and I only think the latter level is done worse than KH2.

KH2's pacing is also pretty bad. But it's mitigated somewhat by the return to Hollow Bastion halfway through. You feel as if you've hit a turning point in the story (cuz...you kinda have, I guess), even though nothing you did in the preceding Disney worlds really amounted to anything that happened there.

KH2's strengths lie in the writing during the prologue, Hollow Bastion segment, and TWTNW stuff. Everything else in-between is basically inconsequential, even if it does try to act like what's happening's important due to Maleficent or Org members showing up.

the beginning, middle and end of 2 are great. They just give you next to nothing after each Disney world, which is what makes replays a slog for me. I will never argue against those portions being fantastic however.

Pretty much everything in KH3 until the last world is meaningless fluff. Sora spends the entire game searching for the power of waking, which means he goes around doing nothing, sees a disney movie play out, and decides to help or something, I dunno, and then is confused that he didn't obtain the power of waking by doing nothing, and then he gets it through the power of thinking about wanting it or something.

The only times the plot advances is through cutscenes disassociated with the level just traversed and fake levels like the land of departure or battles in the dark world where you don't actually get to do any exploration.

ill give you one thing, the power of waking stuff is hot garbage lol. I quite like the organization cutscenes though and how you actually converse with them in the Disney worlds. In general I find them to be more involved with the story than in 2. I just cant help but feel like more stuff is actually happening in them, like with Vexens heel turn, the twilight town gang shenanigans, etc. its still not great but I feel like Im actually seeing stuff happen and am rewarded for traversing through the game nonetheless.

As someone who was invested in all the games and played through 3 I think people either didnt play all the games or are way too critical of 3 because of losing Final Fantasy characters.

Its the weakest of the 3 main titles games, but isnt really a bad game over all.

the loss of FF characters was definitely weird, but not much more of just like a 30 second head scratcher to me like huh where are they. Squall and Cid and the gang were great, but the series never really did much with the cameos otherwise and I just cant imagine sticking with a series for 15 years and having that be a dealbreaker and not being more invested in the original stuff at that point. The story is cluttered enough as is

I played through the entire series for the first time the year before 3 came out and I didnt have a problem with 2s pacing at all

this is fine too! I play these games for the gameplay above all else, which I love. I just find it a bit disingenuous when people act like 3s pacing is some garbage that no one saw coming when theres kinda already a precedent for it, and at the very least you get a more consistent drip of story from it than the prior installment. Whether or not you like the story you get is subjective of course

If you like it, you like it.

I dunno about any hive mind, but I haven't cared for KH3 since it released and I played it, before I saw any online reactions to it. It was just a wholly disappointing experience.

thats fair, your response was much more grounded than others I was seeing

i do genuinely think people would be less kind towards KH2s pacing though if it was a new game today 3 at least feeds you with scenes after every world (which are character moments, stuff does happen in those even if its not major. It could be a lot better nonetheless)

KH2 is really a beginning, 12 hours of nothing, a middle, another 8 or so hours of nothing, and an end. 3 doesnt have the definitive middle point, which is most definitely a flaw, but it doesnt keep you waiting through meaningless fluff to the same degree as 2

lol Im reading some of the responses in here and I know opinions are opinions but people get so melodramatic about KH3.

Im sure theres genuine frustration with the game and the expectations that got built over time but I see the same takes over and over about it and cant help but feel like theres just a little bit of a hive mind going on around it being bad. All I know is Ive had more fun with it than every game in the series besides 1, and Ill stand by that

its far from a perfect game but i guess its flaws just arent that bad to me? nothing there is really much of a dealbreaker. I think the main 5 games (1-3, BBS, DDD) are all pretty excellent in general
