Kingdom Hearts III Review Thread

Regardless of whether it reviews good or bad, I have a feeling the internet is going to be a shitshow.

The next week is going to be very interesting because of this game.
 
This thread made for you.

KH3 development begin around 2013 and also Kingdom Hearts 2 came out in 2006, how hear about KH3 in 2005?

Kingdom Hearts launched in 2002.

Notable pop culture events of 2002.

Kelly Clarkson wins the first season of American Idol
Men In Black 2 was released in theaters.
Spider-Man was a box office smash in theaters. (yes the first one with Tobey Maguire)

If you played the first game at release even at ten years old your now closer to 30 than 20.. 97% of the people who play this game won't have a clue what's going on

Not many reviews will show up apparently. Many many outlets didn’t receive a review copy from SE..

Could someone tell me why kh 1 and 2 were so memorable for people back then ? I am totally new to this and people seem to go crazy about this. Im hyped
 
This game deserves to be reviewed in the 90's. Resident Evil has no business being in the 90's! I kid, but journalists better not drop the ball on this one.

IGN said it took him 27 hours to beat. I hope this is rushing, but its what I expect from a KH game.

Is there even an arena?

"Part of what helps the pace overcome these issues, not just in the early moments but all the way through the about 27-hour story"

Sounds like he did to me.

imo the first was a big deal because it was Squenix doing a Disney crossover RPG. I didnt love it, but i recall reviewers saying it was a good arpg, and the worst part was the gummy ship BS.
people wanted more disney/FF charactes/worlds and answers to the story in the second. dont recall what critics said, but i think they said it was a good arpg, but confusing and obtuse story.

do you like Arpgs with ai partners? do you like disney? then maybe dive in. else dont get caught up in the hype.

There is big possibility the reviewer did barely any exploring or doing extra stuff.

I'd be super happy if it's 'only' 30 hours long, that 's already a massive time investment from me these days.

Well, you can watch a recap of all the stories from the start menu of III. They're patching that in. I personally played through everything last couple weeks. I'm good.

The demo was ok that I played a month ago. Granted I have never been a fan of the series. The production quality is pretty fantastic.

No kidding. IGN has been slipping all over the place these days. I'd take anything they say with a grain of salt until other reviews drop.

If you listen to any of their podcasts, you'd know this guy is a RABID Kingdom Hearts fan and was dying to play the game for years. I have zero doubt he finished the game.

Dont hurt me, I have never played a KH game. What are they? Platformer? RPG? Adventure? Someone give me an ELI5 or comparison

I used to not enjoy those, but it might be my favorite genre now...looking into this now
The thing is, this games not at all type of game you can just jump in latest series like FF or Persona. You need knowledge of what happened in pervious games.

A game where you fight evil Disney villains in epic action scenes :) with a Big key. Also has lions drifting better than a outrun 2006 Pro player... maybe not but Damn close

If i am one of those people who doesnt care about story at all, would i be able to jump in and enjoy the gameplay?

Man, it's been a heck of a long time coming.

The best review score in my eyes is going to be the difficulty balancing numbers that pop up on the KH wiki. Please for the love of god be a worthy successor to KH2 Critical.

Just like any game with story, its going to have cutscenes and if you haven't played the pervious games then it just gonna go over your head.
