Thread: How many people gave up on this franchise?

    Two things make me lose faith in a franchise: Poor writing and weak production. If the product doesn't look pretty or have interesting mechanics, it better have a damned good story. Vice versa. Re:coded had a lame story, but I liked it's mini-game marathon feel. Chain of Memories had a somewhat better story (although still mostly a rehash), but I hated the card system... so much.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I liked Birth By Sleep. But I don't remember it being memorable. Some of the boss fights really ticked me off if I remember.

    Cannot wait for an actual fully fledged console release of KH3 tho. If KH1 and 2 were any indication, these games are immersive and fun. I had like 100+ hours in KH1 and 2 each.

    Never got into the series to begin with. It was part of the downfall of Square for me.

    I've given up after Dream Drop Distance. I love exploring the worlds and the core gameplay (especially after how awesome Birth By Sleep's gameplay was).

    But the character switching has gotten out of hand. I hated it in Birth By Sleep (and refused to keep playing after it wanted me to abandon everything I'd spent a hundred hours building up), and it rendered Dream Drop Distance utterly unplayable. I have no interest in picking up the game again, and I probably wouldn't even have remembered the franchise if I hadn't been glancing over the forums.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I played the first one and then watched my friend play through the second one which took her like two hours because the game was that easy. The first I found to be a lot harder. I stopped after that because I just couldn't be assed if it wasn't available on PS2.

    This series is the reason for many people who weren't big on RPG's to get in to it because of the draw of playing in Disney worlds and with Disney characters. It was also the reason I got so in to JPOP. So for that reason, I will always have fond memories of the first one at least. If I get a PS4 I will definitely consider playing KH3 whenever it comes out.

    I have yet to really give it a good, solid attempt. I'll hopefully try KH1 and KH2 eventually, when they are ported to a console I actually bother with in these modern times.

    You mean like, I don't know... the PS3? Or perhaps, the PS3?

    Did you donate your PS3 to science or something?

    The only one I actually enjoyed was Chain of Memories. I never found Alice, but it turns out that's because I was looking in the wrong places. :\

    I've never played a KH game...

    No particular reason for it, really.

    It's in the same flat my PS2 is in. So... my flat. It's not been switched on once since I got the PS4 though. xD I shall surely be changing that this weekend when a couple of additional controllers waltz their way over. ;D

    I have not given up on KH though it was sad to see an entire generation pass without a new KH game for home console other than remakes.
