Caligula Effect Overdose! I was actually interested even when the original version came out, but decided not to get it right away when it got such poor reviews... and then the remake got announced and I decided to just wait for it. Not gonna lie, the biggest reason I got interested in the game was Satomi Tadashi. : P Not expecting this game to be anything like P1&2 though. Even though it seems to share some elements with Persona, but we’ll see...
It’s a bit disappointing, but I didn’t cry. OH WAIT, I actually shed some tears when I first saw the main menu screen... now that I think about it.
Really good and fair review! I must say I agree on most of the things you mentioned. The weird pacing was the main thing that bothered me, next being the lack of difficulty. I picked Standard just in case it would be difficult (since I didn't have time to get stuck) and that made the game truly a cakewalk. I didn't even try at some points and the game just wouldn't let me die. Can't believe this, but I was actually angry at Donald for healing me. This is just a pet peeve of mine, but it annoys me when games let me get away with not putting in any effort (there's an easy mode for a reason, standard should be at least mildly challenging in my opinion). The combat was still VERY fun and pretty smooth, so I'm not that mad. Even though it was too easy, I still had fun.
Kingdom Hearts is like a badly written fanfiction at times and yet, that's kind of what I enjoy about it, weirdly enough. Anything could happen, because there's just no logic to it at all. Not expecting everyone to love it, though, and it definitely deserves criticism. And I do agree that it takes away from some of the more serious moments, since basically anything can (and probably WILL) just be retconned anyway. The best situation would be if they could somehow find a balance between keeping it weird and random, but still establishing some basic rules that they stick to.
Not a theory, but years before I played Kingdom Hearts and had only seen bits and pieces of it, I thought Riku was a girl. I also thought there was a legit Riku/Sora/Kairi love triangle going on. Don't ask (I had seen actual cutscenes and stuff, and still thought Riku was a girl). Also, when I first started KH2 I thought Seifer was somehow related to Riku (like Roxas is to Sora). I didn't know he was from FF8. Sadly I can't remember anything else.
I think I was hooked from the very start, if I'm being completely honest here. By the time I reached Traverse Town for the first time, I was in love. But it wasn't until the year after I beat KH1 and 2 that I REALLY became completely obsessed. I think I was just watching some random KH AMVs and idk what it was but SOMETHING just clicked, and everything just escalated from there. I bought a 3DS just so I could play Days and 3D (which had just came out I think), and after I was done with those I went on to get a PSP and BBS...
I agree, but then again, there's way more to explore in KH3 than in previous titles. There are the lucky emblems, photo missions (is that even what they're called?), treasure chests and secret reports (although I agree that the battlegates are extremely easy). Plus it has TONS of minigames (although personally I'm not a fan). So even without secret bosses, there's plenty to do. And didn't original KH2 only have one secret boss as well? Personally, it's fine by me that there's only one secret boss, but I would've liked it to be a bit more... interesting, I suppose? Sephiroth was always cool because he was someone we already knew, and even if you weren't familiar with FF7 he still seemed really intimidating. Dark Inferno was kinda just there, not very interesting designwise or otherwise (just my opinion, though). And it was way to easy, although so is the rest of the game. I guess it's possible we'd get more secret bosses via DLC.
I still haven't even tried any of them, apart of the ones we had in UX. Out of those I kinda liked the Karnival Kid.
Purely as a world, Caribbean for sure. It was such a breath of fresh air! I just loved being able to freely travel with the ship and explore small islands and stuff. Plus, it's just really pretty, especially the water. I always get really excited about water, for some reason. But honestly, Toy Story is really close too, and if we take the world's story into account, it was probably my favorite. The toy store had so many small, fun details too. Loved just walking around and watching what's on the shelves and stuff.
Ooh this sounds like fun! I'm gonna do yesterday's too since I'm one day too late. 1. Probably KH3 cover... for now at least, but maybe I'm just attached to it because it's new. 2. I'm not too attached to Disney characters to be honest. But maybe Mickey? Since he blends so well into the story. Funny, since I don't really care for Mickey in Disney animations/comics.
I didn't really make any resolutions, but I'm just trying to do better in life in general. Get more motivated in my studies, do more things I've wanted to do for a long time, and things that I enjoy... 2018 was just a big downward spiral for me and I really hope I can change that in 2019.
that's a tpugh choice... both are good? but salt&vinegar chips are so addicting. so that? dark chocolate or white chocolate?
Hmmm... not sure. Maybe horses? anime or games?
KH3 outfit. JRPGs or Western RPGs?
Drakengard 3, definitely. I played it a bit before Christmas and kept thinking how much better the game COULD be if it didn't have so many issues. It's not unplayable as is, and I actually genuinely enjoyed it, but the framerate is still bad and the graphics aren't good either (which is a shame since most of the character designs are really nice). Probably would never happen, though. Actually, a HD remake of Nier would also be cool to see.
