I never said i didnt like the KH2 intro...

Do you like Days?
I think I'll finally give in and say that I like Days only because of Roxas :| I mean it was pretty cool at times but it was also repetitive and slow at times. My favorite world was TWTNW with DW Roxas. It also had the best cutscene ever:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtTNp_0EsAw
but yeah it could be pretty bad a ttimes.

 

[Groof]

KH2's intro was shit and Days was even worse.

/hatehatehate

 

[Tsunamo]

Kingdom Hearts 2's intro and Days were my guilty pleasures.

The only thing i thought while playing days was "I CANT BELIEVE IM PLAYING THIS ON A HANDHELD!!!!!!"

So yeah i enjoyed it.

Was little hard for me to be impressed after Crisis Core and Dissidia

I just wish they went with 2D solution but eh. It was technically impressive for DS but in the process it looked like an ugly mess compared to many other DS titles.

Perhaps even more limited 3D solution like Spirit Tracks?

 

[aravuus]

I usually hate long intros, but KH2's was very good imo

I was pretty impressed they managed to get the 3D Kingdom Hearts experience on the DS back then aswell.

I'm really sad that we will probably never see a 2D Kingdom Hearts on a handheld again, it was really neat playing Kingdom Hearts on a 2D plain.

Classic sidescroller with high quality sprites and animation, yees yees.

Just finished Days. should i say the game really picks up at the end.... (And yeah, manly tears were flowing when Xion started shattering into oblivion...)

Anyways, i really enjoyed it, and for an odd reason i didn't even find it repetitive/didn't get bored with it. i just loved it for what it was, besides from the limitations of the DS.

Heck it was a lot less convoluted than 3D and a lot less "over the top". And Passion ~ After Battle ~ it's just perfect for that ending, sad as fuck...

WHATEVER MAN WHAAAAATEVER

You can't deny it!

This GIF describes how I feel about Napalm when we talk about Days :C

I'm Daisy :|

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Don't be sad, as I said I don't hate days or anything, I even like the story parts but...

I mean let's look at the technical side:

Something like TWEWY would have been much easier for the eyes and better suite for DS controls (no nub/analogue stick)

And Mink as I said it IS a little hard to be impressed by that when this:

released 2 years before days :d.

 

[Groof]

Oh my god TWEWY was such a good looking game.
Oh, what could have been.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Let's just say I am very glad we are finally 100% out of the PS1/N64 3D graphics days now that 3DS released.

Anyone who decided to create a 3D game on DS should be accused of crimes against humanity.

With all this talk I am kind of temted to start a second playthrough of Days on my 3DS :lol. Alas my backlog is quite immense.

 

[Groof]

Don't do it man, you'll only be disappointed. But man, that Crisis Core screen makes me want to replay that as soon as fucking possible. I remember having my jaw hitting the floor when I saw that the first time.

But really, I can't speak about Days anymore. I think it was so traumatizing I can't remember shit about the game except not liking it. Forgive me.

 

[TheMink]

It wasnt so much the graphics as it was full blown kingdom hearts gameplay.

Well, "full blown"

lol

I know what you mean tho. It's just that after the first 20 minutes it isn't impressive anymore :d.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I stopped playing Crisis because I dropped interest.
I'm a horrible person :C

Yeah, you should finish it. But I can understand, they did some horrible shit with the story.

 

[TheMink]

lol

And the 900th obscure objective mission.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I don't even remember like anything.

I remember that Genesis was a terrible character that had terrible dialogue. The loveless stuff was insuferrable.

Angeal did something I guess, no memory whatsoever.

And umm. Yeah...

Oh well at least I remember more than Dirge of Cerberus. Who wrote these?

Haha yeah, the only parts I actually remember are the ones that were actually from the original game. You know, the bits that actually mattered. The whole "three friends" aspect of it all was so hooooorriibleeeee and it just didn't fit in at all. Fuck Gackt and fuck Nomura. At least the game itself was pretty balling.

Dirge of Cerberus on the other hand... what?

 

[NHarmonic.]

TWEWY was wonderful, but sincerely, it was a lot more repetitive than what days could ever be.

Days added some depth to Roxas and i think they dealt with Xion in an interesting way (though, as someone said before, she's the definition of "Plot Device"). It's an awkward game, specially at the beginning, but it's worth for that ending.

And the" 3 friends" thing, it's weak, but hey, these are 3 "Hollow" humans on weird dark coats that use keys and are part of this weird clan full of douches. If i'd wake up as a (13)? year old, with no memories and i get named by this useless and deep voiced man that puts me to work for him in a pale castle i'll be as obnoxious (or even more) as Roxas and Xion. So that kinda explains it.

I don't know, after all, the story just worked. I thought replaying it would kill it for me, but it didn't. And that Scene with Xion and Axel in front of Naminé's hiding spot is glorious.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Days would have been the best game in the series if it followed the life of Vexen instead of Roxas. You'd get bullied by all the other members despite being high ranking and the only one with brains. During the game you grow to be a bitter mad scientist with your only friends being Zexion, the other nerd of the group and Lexaeus, the only one who is more disliked than you.

Ending would be heartwrenching when one of your own order murders you in cold blood. Zack death scene eat your heart out.

Other emotional trauma would occur because Xion, your own creation doesn't know about her origins and you secretly love her like your own daughter ;-;

That's........beau-......nope, you can't make me care about Days.

Nice try though.

 

[Groof]

Days could've been fun if it didn't take itself so seriously and hadn't focused on shitty characters. Especially one that doesn't even matter.

Dude, probably every kingdom hearts game take itself way too seriously.

Are you saying that the Organization....
and that Xion...

Roxas...

I can't even- NOPE
NO

Ah what the hell, I understand ;-;
Gimme a bro fist

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I hope next gen KH will feature more gritty Disney characters.

 

[Psxphile]

Even though Nomura has said he wants to move the series forward (finally) with KHIII on consoles, I still hope that one day we'll get to play (or see) Mickey's journey in the Realm of Darkness. Especially since they kept hinting at it in the spinoffs (those out-of-context scenes in Re:Coded). Pretty sure it was supposed to be touched on in BBS Vol. 2, but... yeah.

Side/secret missions in KH3. Or Secret Mickey Reports that chronicle them and then a spin off on the 3DS-2.

 

[badcrumble]

I suspect that the people who love terrible KH games because they have Roxas, a terrible character, in them are the same ones who love terrible RE games because they have Wesker, a terrible character, in them.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Only game Wesker was good in was CV:X and it isn't as much his character but the fact that when he shows up it is the first time in the series plot that something surprising and interesting is happening.

RE5 Wesker was bad. I don't remember much about Umbrella Chronicles :/

Then again none of the main RE games where Wesker is in are terrible. Come at me :3

CV:X is an okay game, but it marked the point where the RE series plot took a headlong jump into the deep end of the stupid pool.

I dunno man. CV:X is the only game in the series where I would say story is a major part of the enjoyment.

It was just so refreshingly different from the formula that was in 1, 2 and 3.

Nobody cares for Wesker. Actually, he's barely any relevant in the best RE games = 1, 2 and 3.

Roxas forever.
*shrug*

 

[badcrumble]

My man. Except he's pretty relevant in RE1 before that awful retcon, and RE4 is just as amazing as 1, 2, and 3, albeit in totally different ways.

He doesn't have a right to ''be''.

Said nobody ever.

RE4 is a really good game, and a needed change for the franchise (i guess), but still i can't manage to love it as the first 3. Too much action for my tastes :/ (and for Retcon, do you mean RE:Make? i think that game might be the one who gathers the best elements of a "Survival Horror" experience by far).

Said nobody ever.

I've always found that expression rather pointless, you know, i JUST SAID THAT EXACT SENTENCE. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but whatever. It's not that you can ask a RE game for some interesting villain characters.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Finished off Re:coded earlier today. Felt like it was dragging its feet towards the end which is a little awkward considering its relatively short length. The most I really took out of it was that the slight glimpse of the BbS trio at the end kinda makes me wish 3D had dealt with rescuing them.

Still feeling in a bit of a KH mood though so I might finally play Reverse/Rebirth or replay, I dunno, Aqua's story in Birth by Sleep or something.

I have though about starting KH2FM again but I had to stop myself because I wan't to play 1.5 first and play KH2FM when it releases on 2.5 .
