lupin_bebop Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yes. Or borrow one. It's worth it. It's one of the best games on that console and of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naraku4656 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 The first one was fantastic. After that the story got a bit, well, silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I didn't want to buy a copy when it came out and I wouldn't buy a copy now. I was on my Devil May Cry, Vice City, Mechassault, RE remake and 0 type time when it was new and I never once wanted to get it, that's for babies.

Distinct Lunatic Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I'm curious to try those games, but I have no clue at all how to even go about it, with all the .5's and so on, it's like they had an actual autistic person name/number their games. I'm far more likely to play those games with an emulator than to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I played Kingdom Hearts for the first time in 2018 and didn't regret spending some time on it. Without any nostalgia you'll probably find it to be decent, not amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamped Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I know I finished the first one but I got stuck in a boss fight in the 2nd one and I just couldnt get past it so I quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapinator_X Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 If you have a PS3 or PS4, there are bundles where you can have most of the games available in an HD box set. But I’d say give KH 1 & 2 a shot and then stop there before you get disappointed by the rest of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The order is not really important, as long as you play Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2.5, and Kingdom Hearts 3. The rest are all just story background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, I'm just saying that Squaresoft made them for little kids who go to Disney World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyaos Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I can think of other games that I'd want to buy aside from Kingdom Hearts. That series is too fucking huge to keep my attention, from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeny Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If you aren't going to make the effort of follow the story, regardless of how you do it, don't even bother. Going right from 1 straight to 2 will just confuse you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going right from 1 straight to 2 will just confuse you. I did this back in the day, and it wasn't super confusing, but there were certainly gaps, and a lot of unanswered questions. Frankly, I found Xion's story far more compelling than most of the rest. Playing through all the side games, I was mostly enjoying them, not great, but, good story building, until, I think, the bonus end scene in... Re:Coded, I think, that really grabbed my attention. Sure, the entire story is incredibly excessively convoluted. But, that's part of the appeal for some, having so many pieces to put together.

BlackNoir Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've played them all and have kept up with the story, buy the story is what you're really there for. If you don't give a shit about that then prepare for gross tedium. The gameplay on it's own isn't something i would say you need in your life.

mumbo Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) i could have been more clear..  i had never played any of the kingdom hearts series. i was watching IGN replays on Pluto and saw Kingdom Hearts for PS4 and thought it looked entertaining, packed with storyline and like a solid rpg. I decided with the strange coincidence of my having a PS2 here, and searching for games for it to pass time and give me something to do, to look at the game to see if it would be a good fit.  I remember many times users here have mentioned it, gave it good opinions (which is pretty unusual for this site, last time that happened was someone suggested Neverwinter to me, which was great until I couldnt level up, and it updated to a version I dont like anymore)... so I decided, over ten years now with some people from this community, (Oh btw lots of people deserved to win the "most likely to be here in ten years" category of the old school year book, much to my surprise. i really thought this community would have completely disbursed the first time i heard that!..) back to the point, ten years and not much to take away from all of every damn thing and whatnot so I decided that me liking this game or not, would be attributed to the people here who used to give it good rep. that way its two good memories if i like it.  so i made this thread to see for sure that people would suggest i played. then took their opinions, bought the game and now the anticipated reaction... dun! dun! dun! https://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdom-hearts/  i am playing one or two short missions per day, basically just save point to save point. im not very far along yet but I LIKE THE GAME. i like the animation and how you feel like you are part of a cartoon... very cartoonish and imaginative... i find it a little depressing because i am not young enough to enjoy it as much as I could. i love Disney. and adventure games the way you are grouped and you are a leader, the way theres always a little puzzle and wonder, the suspense if the next boss is going to be really hard to beat... and you can be sure tomorrow will bring new adventures Edited March 22, 2020 by CactusLove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalar Hex Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) KH1, KH:Chain of Memories, KH2. Stop there. After part 2 they got a massive boner for spinoff games on multiple consoles that are pretty much 100% re-used worlds save for maybe 45 minutes of storyline that becomes required knowledge for KH3 to make sense. I mean, CoM is the same thing for part 2 ... but it's only 1 game instead of fucking fifty or whatever.
