The only thing that got my attention in this game is the Cavern of Remembrance to be honest.
I find Birth by Sleep far better with the pacing and gameplay.

Tempted to pick this up because it would probably be fun on Steam Deck. GMG has the entire bundle for $56.57.
Kind of want to play in order but it sounds like the story is convoluted anyway.
Last time I tried 1.5 it felt dated, probably because of the game's narrow camera and FOV, but I feel like I should give it another chance and it would probably feel better on a handheld. Steam release broke some mods, including ultrawide, which is unfortunate.

People gonna slam this shit, but KH is a legit good time. Crank up the difficulty and it becomes some of the action RPGs of their respective eras.

Mate, all the games have been available to play on a single platform, barring one title (dream drop distance), since the 7th generation. That isn't much of an excuse anymore.

Its showing $68.99 for me. I would definitely get at $56, though.

before we see a lot of buyers remorse. I’ve owned this franchise since day 1 and it has one of the most monotonous build ups out of any game I’ve ever played beyond those very niche NIS JRPGs.

But those finales are all pretty great. Usually a final level with harder mobs, great drops and treasure, ridiculous music and final bosses that usually have like four stages minimum. I dunno, PS2 era RPGs are second only to 16 bit era RPGs in capturing the feeling I most associate the genre with.

The ending sucks, but I've always been fascinated by the games because of the Square/Disney mash-up and the combat challenges of 2 and 3.

Price should adjust after you log in.

The camera is indeed awful in KH1, it has a HUGE latency, it feels even worse than if you were playing a cloud game lol
The weird thing though is that if you try it with a mouse, the camera is very reactive and move instantly, so I don't know why it has this much delay with the stick, because clearly it can work a lot better already given how it behaves with a mouse.

Well, not as much as I was thinking it would be (i.e. $69 on sale). I think the first two collections were $15 each and KH3+Remind was $20 on EGS on sale. So only a difference of $20 or so.
Do all three games have native ultra wide support this time. Or is it the same shit as on EGS where it's only "supported" for part of the games?

They're saying it's $56 on greenmangaming

It worked!
This is weird tho, why is GMG hiding the price like that unless you login first? Trying not to broadcast the fact they undercut steam?

It's because the base sale is -31%, but it adjusts depending on the XP on your account. If you are "bronze" you get -43%, and if you are silver or gold maybe even more (not sure).

For me the prices for the Integrum Masterpiece version are like this (in Germany):
Steam: 68.99 € (99.99 € - 31 %)
Humble: 68.99 € (99.99 € - 31 %)
Humble (with Choice discount): 58.64 € (99.99 € - 31 % Store discount - 15 % Choice discount)
GMG: 68.99 € (99.99 € - 31 %)
GMG (with Gold discount): 56.57 € (99.99 € - 31 % - 18 % Gold (or Bronze+) discount)
It's interesting that this all-in-one version is not on Epic Games Store and the games are not on sale on EGS either right now. Melody of Memory (the rhythm game) seems to still be EGS exclusive.

Actually good value for the fun but I'm conditioned for deeper sales.
2 AND BbS still fun to play. 1 is basic like DMC1. Still fun.

To anyone looking to buy this: Dont. The series is mediocre.
It is a waste of time. KH1 sucks all the way through. KH2 and Birth by Sleep are decent but kinda weird. At least intriguing though. Dream Drop Distance could have been an email, and KH3 is so utterly full of asspulls that any potential emotion is non existant

Mediocre games have never been so fun. You really gotta reevaluate your idea on the definition of the word mediocre.

Nah it’s really worth it as you can see how every game is different in its own beautiful way, gameplay wise. Ignore the story though.

I found the story to be incredibly easy to follow, until Dream Drop Distance. That fucked me up hard.

Same. Before Dream Drop Distance, I never understood why people complained this much about the story, it was fine honestly, you just had to accept that some words they use (like hearts, world etc) aren't the litteral things we know, they are different concepts, but if you accept how it all works in KH, it was totally understandable.
Then Dream Drop Distance arrived, added timelines, dreams and time travel to the mix and it got incredibly confusing and made KH3 very hard to understand sometimes too. It's also not helped by the fact that the mobile games are important to the story too...

Thankfully the mobile games needed for the narrative are very limited. Essentially "There was Master of Masters and his pupils. A lie propagated and a war began. Many died."
And that is really all that happens until future games actually try to expand on this. Thankfully the movie in the prequel title to 3 explained the important bits.

Rocky launch on Steam for sure. Works well on Steam deck but the games had no bugs fixed from epic. ReCom's control scheme is royally fucked and remapping the controls makes it even worse.
No ultrawide support
No 16:10 support so deck isn't even running on its native aspect ratio.
Tons of audio bugs, bugs that have existed since ps3 or longer are still in the game. I see it had a mostly positive rating on Steam so I'm glad people are actually pointing out flaws. 7000 xt gpus can't even play the games too lol

Played KH 1.5 for a few hours. It definitely feels better on Steam Deck than on PC, even with an ultrawide mod. If the camera/FOV mod is updated, I'll try it again on PC but the close camera and narrow FOV aren't as jarring on a smaller display.
I don't mind at all because the Steam Deck was starting to sit and the game looks nice on OLED.
