As convoluted as the story is, its really not "confusing" to understand if you played the games. I personally find story very fun entertaining even tho it can be cheesy and convoluted.

Raving reviews! Screw Polygon and them calling KH3 a "whimper".

Great Reviews, seems to be a real treat for all the fans and newcomers. I wish everyone playing a great time with the game.

Polygon is just angry they didn't make a romance between Riku and Sora.

HA! Or not including that pink haired SJW from The Last Jedi.
I still think this game should be rated higher than RE2, but I'll take it. 88 Meta is worth the 10 year wait.

I'm looking forward to both but unlike RE2Remake, KH3 is not exactly newcomer friendly, so it makes sense KH is not going to have higher score than RE.

I don't see the correlation. KH3 was a franchise that's spanned over 15 years, though, so I'm not saying you don't have a point. Either way, it doesn't matter. Both have been rated amazingly and fans of both games should be happy.

I only played part 1 and BBS. I'm just in it for the spectacle and fun gameplay.
Still worth $60 just for that.

The first game of 2019 that's well worth full price. Dozens of hours of gameplay and tons of freedom.

Hell, if it wasn't for the engine change we probably would have seen this release last year or the year before.

No more than Toriyama. I've liked most SQEX games.
They should try to make them a little faster though.

Polygon doesn't review games, they find things to bitch about in games.

They have different skills. Tabata seems like a great assistant director or producer. He seems good at managing large groups of people and keeping them on task for a long term project. He's good at communicating to press and fans also. That is a skillset. But he doesn't seem like an auteur director or an amazing artist generally.

I noticed none of the reviews talks about framerate.

It's UE4 I expect locked 30 fps on base consoles and 45-50 fps on the x and pro. Hope there is an option to raise the resolution and cap the frame rate on higher end console ..........or port it to PC.

This. Please. It'll probably run fine on X, but I'm positive the pro version is going to dip and be noticeable. I played the demo at NYCC and specifically played the ps4 version to see the framerrate, and it gets pretty bad when there's a lot of particle effects. Specifically the part with Titan and sora is on the disney train ride thing shooting titan. Oooof. I'm hoping that was only base PS4 and square will surprise us with the pro version but i'm not holding my breath.

The lack of a PC port is really odd considering the PC version of DQXI launched alongside the console version and every other major SE game has been released on steam lately with the exception of Dragon Quest Builders. Starting to think SE is going to expand it's own launcher for PC and leave steam moving forward.
I mean they technically already have a launcher for FFXIV so I don't think it's that far fetched.

Great scores but even today I'm going in with zero hype. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised

I hope that doesn't happen, I am tired of these launchers I have 5 already.

All the main characters are back. But from what I heard most of the voices in the Pixar worlds are different. So no Tom Hanks or Tim Allen for Toy Story and no Johnny Depp for Jack.

He seems to put a lot of effort into his projects and he makes pretty great action RPG combat systems, I'll give him that.
But I can't say I'm a fan of his work. Outside of the combat I don't really like the Kingdom Hearts games (empty worlds with a very "gamey" level design and several boring ass moments like the whole intro of 2). Mainly though it's that everything he directs has abysmal writing even for videogame standards, if David Cage is a Hollywood reject then Nomura seems like a Shonen jump reject.
It's obviously down to taste and preferences but personally I need to feel at least a bit invested in the story to enjoy these lengthy and cutscene heavy games and if Nomura is involved that's out of the question. It's the main reason I have zero hype for the VII remake, even if combat and graphics are going to be better you just need to watch Advent Children to know he is going to murder the plot.
But that's just me, nothing wrong with enjoying his stuff. At least he seems to take long to finish each game so there's plenty of games left for other people to direct

Square has always had their salty hate from gamers. Only from those who can't truly see their vision.

loved Tim Rogers's review for Kotaku. it was very positive & almost more about the atmosphere around the games more than the games themselves. which is IMO a very good thing to do.
the game looks really pretty.
