- I hate kingdom hearts 3, kingdom hearts 3 sucks. I've been a fan of the series since I was in middle school when kingdom hearts 1 came out. I've purchased all the different consoles that they randomly released on so I could play the next installment. Thats how much I wanted to play these games. And after waiting half of my life to finally play kingdom hearts 3.....im so disappointed. Heres my kingdom hearts 3 review. They ruined this game.

In kh1 you were desperately looking for your best friends. In kh2 you were taking on a mysterious organization. In kh3 you literally just fuck around until they finally had their fanfic finale where everything wraps up exactly how you know it would without adding anything at all
Correction. In KH3 you were trying to reagin your strength to get all of the lost keyblade masters reunited to stop the world from ending. And also I dont know what you mean by they just had their finale that raps up like you thought it would. In Kh1 you defeat Ansem (predictable) and hearts are light (predictable). In KH2 you beat Xemnas (predictable) amd everything is good (predictable)
@@diamondarmy5546 lmfao u cant be serious. The process of regaining strength wasnt represented well AT ALL. Most worlds feel like filler and then they j threw in the fan service fights at the end. The journey of regaining strength, the process of saving aqua, the process of saving roxas, the looming threat of the organization, everything was not represented well in the game at all. The pacing was absolute dogwater, and the storytelling was subpar. Dont get me started on how they managed to regress on multiple levels when it came to gameplay. Kh1 objectively had the best story. Kh2 didnt have a good story lets be real, but thw gameplay to this day was ahead of its time and shits on anything else that comes from the franchise. Kh3 had world design and graphics going for it (only some worlds were well made like the tangled world and toy story world and they completely left out literal world spaces they had fully made already for like 10 mins of gameplay in them and lets). And honestly they shoulda done princess and the frog and coco if they really wanted cool enviornments and actual compelling stories to tell. Anyways the game is j straight up a smack to the face for any fan of the series, and u can try to defend the story but its piss poor at best
@@diamondarmy5546 Correction. In KH3, you were SUPPOSED to regain your lost strength throughout the Disney worlds. The reality is, you get all your lost abilities (and shotlocks for some reason, even though Sora should have NO idea what these are because he's never even seen them in his life) in the first half of the first world except the power of waking, and then you find out later that it was "with you all along". Non of it has any weight or reason whatsoever.
If Ventus playing frisbee with Lea and Isa on Destiny Islands while Hayner, Pence, Olette, and Donald Duck make sand-snowmen together doesn't scream fanfiction, nothing does.
@@jack1231309 I hate this theme of “regain your lost strength” when the story was literally after Dream Drop Distance. Wasn’t the entire plot point was to “find the power of Awakening”?
Why does sora wind up in Tokyo? Well if you played this spinoff game only available on smart refrigerators you would find an item that is from 3 mobile games ago that references a story only told on a collection of soda cans only released in Korea that give you a hint about how sora’s time traveling anti-heart asked him to come.
I'm fucking dead, this is exactly why I stopped playing KH 3 after a few days of its release. I waited 13 years, absolutely loved 1 and 2, but I had no idea that in order for me to understand the story in 3, I had to have played the freaking gameboy/ds/psp games, i was like wtfffffffffffff. Going to give it another chance though, since I bought the franchise(except for 2.8)last month.
@@darthnutsack6717 The entire collection is on ps4 and xbox 1.
@@SparkShiftYT I know, look at the last sentence of my previous comment !
Darkness
This is how it feels. This should be top comment.
I feel you. This game was straight trash. KH2 still holds the throne
i love kh2 so much
I'm literally the only one who thinks KH2 is overrated as hell. KH1 is the best for me.
@@megaman15ish 1 was good too
@@megaman15ish why is that?
@@LostTrigger I liked the story the best in the first. It wasn't deep but it was simple to understand. The difficulty curve felt just right, the levels felt more open and explorative, and it felt more complete overall. KH2 was when the series got convoluted with its plot, it felt too damn linear, the game's challenge was all over the place, and while it did make improvements it just didn't feel as fun to play for me. Some of the Disney worlds in the second one felt shoehorned in as well in my opinion.
This game was technically Disney movie the game + 1 hour of KH lore
Straight rips from the movies. 1 hour of lore is very generous because most of it was people just talking in circles like maleficent and pete searching for a they never find.
Truly, the WOAT. There's never been a game so cynical and riddled with stress, so driven by greed and resentful obligation instead of passion, so wasteful of the talents of its musicians and artists, so deeply disrespectful to the fans, so tasteless, incompetent, pointless, unsatisfying, garish, awkward and dull. The game itself is Heartless. Xehanort may as well have won and hit that reset button, because it feels like the only salvation for this once-ambitious series is in a complete reimagining from a different development team.
downhillracers you nailed it. Sickening :(
No. Leave the Sonic fans with SOMETHING.
“Heartless” is a word I’ve used for it, too lol you know Nomura messed up when we’re using his own lore against him. That said, I think he did originally intend for this to be a masterpiece-guy traveled to LA twice to negotiate with Disney-Pixar, but they wouldn’t budge until he wrote a scenario they approved (Toy Story’s took 2 years of back and forth). So it sounds like the game was being developed while it didn’t even have a story... Add to that the engine switch, the disc space and Nomura directing FFVIIR-there were just too many problems for KH3 to surmount. By the end, I think Nomura lost morale. His director’s letter in the Deluxe Edition strongly implies he anticipated fans would be unhappy.
What’s really sad is I thought they were back on track with 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage. A simple, character-driven narrative with a darker tone, like an evolution of KH1. Maybe Nomura was projecting his thoughts through his self-insert Xehanort, telling us he wishes he could remake this (or just VSXIII lol).
@Nicholas Marashio Did you mean couldn't give a damn?
@@-JaggedGrace- Exactly. Same guy, different account, btw.
The biggest problem for me is that KH 1 and 2 feel like a long journey. You loose your home, and you search for your friends and mickey. You travel to one world after the other. In kh3 sora just goes wherever he wants. He meets up with riku and mickey, goes to the dark world etc. The feeling of adventure and traveling is lost. Imagine frodo could just call his lost friends whenever he wants or just goes back to his home in 5 minutes. If you make a game about traveling to different worlds, you have to give the player the feeling of a life changing adventure.
Come on man if you want Sora to search his friends every single game there is no story just a Zelda like or Mario like, Kh 3 is a step forward to Sora's journey that how I see it
Kingdom hearts 3 the game that focuses so much on setting up a new arc in the series 90% of the time instead of properly resolving and focusing on the current story and it ends up becoming a rushed mess
I was really hyped for this and was so disappointed. I had to force myself to just beat the game.
I kept telling myself it gets better and to keep playing
Same here. I can't believe it but I actually had to skip cutscenes.
I platinum the game twice and complete 100% of thia game 4 or more times, it hurts my soul playing a wasted pontential game, it doesn't mean i like this game, its because the most specific buttons of my controller broke and i'm forced to play this bs until the quarantine ends, in my country, almost no shop is open, except for a mandatories ones.
me too, played it for a day then literally didn't look at it for a day or 2, then forced myself to play it some the next couple of days until i beat it, then sold it immediately after beating it. funny thing, my friend who never played any kh game saw me playing kh2 one day and said it looked pretty awesome, then a week later he saw me playing kh3 and he said that other one you were playing looked more fun than this. i said "it is, way more fun."
@@Jack_80 KH2 is definitely one of the most fun and entertaining video games I have ever played.
KH3 needed more polish but I still liked its combat mechanics despite how floaty it is.
What I don't like about this game is that it felt to anime. Every character sighs or gasps every time, I think it's a Japanese thing, but when people who speak English do it. It sounds really bad.
It's a JRPG what do you expect
@@davidddhoi5569 better localization
@@davidddhoi5569 We expect it to be on par with earlier KH, not poorly dubbed anime with too long pauses. Its just bad, what are you expecting xD
@@anklemann im currently replaying through the whole series and it was never that bad, especially in kh1 and kh2
@@anklemann yeah just check into it beelze, there is alot of difference between those games when it comes to pauses, the anime grunts as well
The selling point of this series for me was the final fantasy mix. Now that its either on the backburner or completely fazed... so did my interest in the series. Nevermind the story...if you can call it that.
Final fantasy mix yep
The actual name of the game:
Broken Hearts 💔 😭
This game misses the mark every chance they get.
No ff characters, literally zero. Wtf
No Disney bosses, all just poorly designed heartless. (Aside from Davy Jones)
You have a Hercules world but NO colosseum?!
No reason to revisit worlds.
Less worlds than the FIRST game.
Worlds LOOKED bigger, but really weren’t.
The Organization 13 members served NO purpose, even when they showed up in earlier worlds just to basically flip sora the bird.
The dialogue and cutscenes are actually HORRENDOUS. Like, who approved these scenes? Shenmue level awkward. I feel like 90% of what they say literally serves no purpose. Also, there will be like a 10 minute cutscene, when it’s finally over, you get to walk like 5 feet, and IT TRIGGERS ANOTHER CUTSCENE. Walking for 5 feet ISNT GAMEPLAY. They did that a lot.
I’m not the most skilled at video games but I found it to be waaay too easy and you are very OP.
Twilight town is smaller.. Why? Hundred acre wood is one page and one VERY generic cellphone mini game.
Literally everything but the graphics is worse.
I +1 this
It's maddening seeing a game you once cherished lead into a decade of consistent failures. If you would have told me back then that one of my favorite PS2 titles ever would end up leading into where we are now, I honestly don't know how to react. This game isn't the worst game in the series, it is the accumulation of everything that was terrible with this series starting with Chain of Memories. Retcon dependant storytelling, needless convolution to pretend it's smarter than it actually is, toothless backpedaling that renders even death meaningless, stories that don't resolve anything, lack of balance between cutscene and gameplay, lazy half baked mechanics, intrusive mini games on the excuse of variety, heavy reliance on flash over substance and above all an increasing disdain for even being a Disney game by marketing definition. Taking one look at what the series had become after Chain of Memories, there was no way this game was going to be the conclusion it was promised to be.
its honestly heart breaking and if i had played more of the mobile kh games i might have seen it coming but i was completely blindsided
@@LostTrigger Yeah it took me up until the slap in the face that was Dream Drop Distance to finally realize what was going on.
@@TeryJones For me it started when in BBS they showed how Sora isn't actually chosen by the worlds to wield the keyblade, instead he basically inherits it along with Riku. I actually think the plot from kh1 to kh2 is solid. The villains and heroes have good enough motivations to keep the player invested and also the plot wasn't completely idiotic. Kingdom hearts basically became fanfiction imo once 358/2 and BBS hit, though there were problems that were evident as far back like you said as COM. Oh well, I just pretend kh2 was the last one. Top tier gameplay, decent story and villains, still looks good, still one of the best games ever made.
@@deaj8450 Looking back though it could have done without the whole DiZ being the one to stop Xemnas bit. Did KH2's ending really need a Bard Killing Smaug moment?
@@TeryJones On one hand I agree, but I do enjoy Ansem's decision to die with only his most recent failure to understand the heart and have his own personal conclusion. I did think it was a bit daft to have Xemnas teleport in on the scene as if he wasn't outnumbered 10 to 1 and start taunting Ansem.
I’m on the same page man...deep deep love for these games back when I played them over and over since 2005. So disgustingly disappointed with KH3 it’s soul crushing. Any real KH Fan should be extremely disappointed.
i honestly donnt get how people enjoyed this game but to each their own i guess, still hugely disappointed
Not really every kh fan isnt a bitch.
@Hyperactiv Gamer Sure, I'll be honest and say I thought it was all going to end with 3, but I also expected the game itself to be fun to play. It wasn't after a few hours, and seeing what it had to offer so far, that I had to take a month-long break and then force myself to beat it. The writing, dialogue, lack of character development, and combat made it so hard to finish it. Neither the journey, nor the destination, were satisfying to me when all was said and done. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that way.
That’s your opinion, but saying a “real” fan wouldn’t like it is honestly a bit stupid. Power to you though 🤷🏻♀️
@@solsun3145 A real fan would want/expect better than what we were given. That's all.
I actually enjoyed that the ending was bittersweet, but it is bordering to criminal that they don't close of the storyline.
Further, they shouldn't give an ending to a story where a bunch of stuff happens to the protagonist that makes him disappear, supposedly to save his love interest, off screen.
I mean sure, you can end a story on a cliffhanger, but you don't create the cliffhanger off screen !
If they altered the ending to show both kairi and Sora being gone, the ending would work as a cliffhanger.
Remind let's you see what he does.
It was never designed to close the storyline. This was expressed repeatedly before the game released. All it did was end the Dark Seeker Saga.
I liked Birth By Sleep's Command System as well but I don't think people would've liked it in a Numbered Title. There was an interview that said the reason why COM, BBS, DDD weren't given Numbers in their name was because the gameplay didn't live up to 1 or 2.
Nomura in an Interview is thinking of dropping the whole Numbering thing for future KH Titles (which might not be a good marketing move) and if that's the case, it's possible that the Command System can return for some games in the future. I can see the Command System returning in the next game.
My personal dislikes for the story were:
-Character Development only during Original Worlds and after Disney Worlds and end of the game. Disney Worlds didn't feel like they had any purpose to be in the story.
-Sora pulls powers out of his butt, at the beginning he had to learn his powers again but then he learns how to Wall Run like Naruto and do Shotlocks (Maybe he learned Shotlocks from Ventus but it could've been explained better) and he can also summon Disney World rides....ok.
-I love the KHuX Storyline but they didn't have to link it with the end of this Saga, the only thing they should've kept was Chirithy and Subject X Subplot.
-Kairi was useless besides saving Sora from Fading away in the Final World
-Maleficient and Pete did nothing, I hope that they become big bads in future titles
-No Final Fantasy Characters but I understand having a bunch of characters can be frustrating but honestly...most of the characters just came together at the ending anyways so it wouldn't have been a big deal to see Leon chilling with Ienzo
-Yensid doesn't explain what the Power of Awakening is and that gets Sora offed in the end
-Sora had to save everyone, like no other Keyblade Master can do that? Like Sora was helping everyone without breaking a sweat but everyone else was struggling. Sora can do so many things with his Keyblade and he's not considered a Master as this point?
Yeah it's so many other things I could've went over that you point out but I either forgot or didn't fit it into the script like Pete and Mal being irrelevant lol.
Bbs was honestly my favorite game and I can understand the sentiment of "we didn't push this game hard enough so we wont make it a mainline game'. But I honestly feel like bbs had more improvements compared to kh2, than kh3 does to kh2.
@@LostTrigger Why I like BBS, I don't think it's better than 1,2 or 3. Some of the commands are spammable such as thunder surge and mind square and it really breaks the game. The command deck isn't the issue because I feel that recoded handled it a lot better but BBS definately has balancing issues even on crit mode.
@@robitussinbrohan718 bbs and kh2 are about equal in enjoyment for me (kh2 probably ahead), i havent played recoded tho
The Disney Worlds do actually add to the plot but it's subtle. Mickey actually helps bring it out during your first time in the RoD. He mentions how you can focus on someone or something so much nothing else matters. So let's look a the Disney worlds a bit.
Olympus: Herc tells sora to find someone to fight all his strength for.
Toy Box: The Toys love for Andy
Corona: Fynn's sacrifice for Rapunzel
Arendale: Anna's sacrifice for Elsa
Monstropolis: Mike and Sully fighting to get Boo home
Pirates: Will and Elizabeth's love, not too mention Tiadalma's story.
San Fransokyo: The loss of the original Baymax and the Hiro's brother sacrifice.
Love and Self Sacrifice overarching theme of KH3. Sora has a literal breakdown when his love, Kairi, is ripped away from him by the Heartless. And what is Sora's inspiration to keep going? Riku's self sacrifice when all seemed lost.
Sora, then abusing the Power of Waking, self sacrifices himself for everyone. And his banishment is forewarned.
Xigbar in Olympus warns him as much and Young Xehanort reinforces it. The Disney Worlds also bring in other plot elements such as the box, the new seven hearts, replica information, Ventus residing in Sora, etc.
Admittedly these are things I even overlooked on my playthrough. But they exist in the game. And then the Secret Reports per usual add more.
The story of a kh3 feels like really bad fanfic made by a kid...
No, the fanfic is better.
L sadly
Kingdom Hearts 2 was the true ending of the series.
Change my mind.
I agree. KH2 was a much more complete and satisfying ending.
Yup, hard to argue against it. It tied everything up so neatly until Master Xehanort had to fuck it up. I was on onboard with it at the time but now in retrospect after having played the atrocity that was KH3, and losing interest in whatever the fuck is going on with the mobile games, it's apparent how they should've just ended it at the second installment, or at the least have made it into it's own saga.
Technically you’re right. He originally wasn’t going to make any games after 2 but people wanted more so he made more. To anyone who doesn’t like 3 I just kind of recommend y’all head canon two’s ending as the final one and leave it at that.
Holy crap people are hyping up KH2 to absurd and ridiculous levels when it made Donald and Goofy practically useless on their own while KH3 made them badass.
I felt a huge lack of progression in this game . Felt like I got everything from the start and just made the game feel like I didn’t have to earn for work for anything . Like the Disney command . If I had earned then over time vs randomly got them all
At the start . That alone would have made this game that much better
Still upset about the lack of new Final Fantasy characters…the DLC cameos felt like just an afterthought.
I recently tried to give this game another chance and from just playing the first world I was instantly reminded of everything that I disliked about the game. What an underwhelming pile of trash this game was.
It sounds kinda random, but the thing that started setting alarm bells off in my head was in that Hercules world, right at the beginning. When Sora Donald and Goofy got launched into the sky, Hercules just happened to see them, and caught them. First of all what a crazy coincidence, and second, if hitting the ground would hurt, then falling onto Hercules' arm is going to hurt. But the writers are clearly not thinking about cause and effect already. And then, of course, shit like that just kept happening, pulling me out of the story and annoying me.
@@-JaggedGrace- Sora's voice is cringy alone making the game unplayable....why oooh why
@@WondurLand64s You talking about his voice in cutscenes or even in combat? The lines were not great and the pacing was worse, but I thought most of the voices were fine
@@-JaggedGrace- I only remember the cutscenes. I tried playing it again months ago and couldn't get past the first world mostly because of his voice then I remembered the Disney land attacks and quit. The game could've been great but it was just a rushed cash grab
The only bad thing is the story, so the game isn't a pile of trash
I think people that said it's the best game ever is stupid. Play ffxv than play this. I would rather play ffxv 15 more times than play kh3 one more time. That's how bad it is.
Kh3 is like a Joke!!!! It's like Nomura really didn't care about the game or the kingdom hearts fans that been waiting years for this game and I mean the khs fans that been waiting years for this game. Most newcomers wouldn't understand.
Honestly it’s normura and square enix fault.
FFXV objectively oblitirates KH3 story-wise, Voice Acting-wise, charcter-wise, content-wise, Music-wise, and from the looks of it... DLC wise. (Both have different but solid gameplay)... and I'm not saying FFXV is a perfect game, but it's leauges better than KH3.
@@pedroxruz6032 At least ffxv was good In the beginning especially when it came to the story, than it kept getting worse and worse, till we didn't give a shit about it anymore. In my opinion, Kh3 was boring until u hit toy box, some of the city of corona than last but not least the finale. That's it for kh3 for me.
Are you guys dumb this is the best I could come up with kh2 had atlantica with pretty much only music the only thing good about it was world's and keyblades the bosses humiliate you puzzles kh2 vs 3 kh3 bad I admit but Highwind is good and ultima weapon it has more members in world's for some just appreciate it a little
@@obiwan8934 I'm sorry, I cant.
I tried playing kh3 again. But for some reason I couldn't. When I played kh1 and 2 I couldn't put them down, but kh3 for some reason I have to force myself to play it even with data greeting. Its fun and all, but even with that it's still hard to play for me. I just hope kh4 will be better.
I initially liked it. But when I played it again when critical mode got patched in, I realized how hollow everything felt.
Welcome my brother, it's a cold and dark rode
I mean... I like crit but we won't talk about that. Also if you don't like crit then don't play it.
@@diamondarmy5546 not the point einstein. Critical mode exposes the lackluster combat and mechanics of this uninspired game
@@urboisogucci2259 What's lackluster about the combat?
@@diamondarmy5546 floaty combos, hits lack weight, combo system in kh2 is much more fluid and fast paced, objectively extremely unbalanced in terms of magic, lower skill ceiling then previous mainline title, previous limits which had applications and uses with strengths and weaknesses now reduced to reaction command which takes away from each and every one of them having variety and different uses, attractions ruin flow of combat (though you can simply turn off them even popping up in settings so simple fix, but the fact the devs added this feature shows they are aware it was a dogshit filler feature). I could honestly go on for days but this is a direct downgrade from kh2 which had fast, fluid combat with much better balanced magic and had variety. Links had way more than one use. Summons had way more than one use. They could be mixed and matched and the game encourages variety and experimenting. The skill ceiling is just insanely high. Kh3 assumes the player is dumb and just limits us to having the majority of interactions as reaction commands. The combat got floatier and doesnt have the impact quickness and timing that kh2 had. I want u to search up kh2 speedrun and kh3 speedrun (GDQ ones to be exact). For every interaction in the kh2 run, the runner is using a plethora of abilities and mixing and matching a bunch of stuff using everything to his disposal in ways that you couldnt even think of, puabinf the game mechanics further than were intended using pure skill and fairness. Kh3 run, while obviously requiring a lot of skill, is mainly fire spam 😭. If u nees me to go into more detail since u seem confused for some reason I can.
Kingdom Hearts 1, COM, and 2 will always be one of the greatest video game trilogies/series of all time. The others were just fever dreams and I just try to convince myself 2 was the end. Nothing has improved at all since 2 except the graphics. Worse gameplay, worse story, worse music, worse worlds. Kingdom Hearts 2 is just a massive flex on every kh game since.
You most likely didn’t play remind, BBS, or DDD
@@Spy-Dtroid I played bbs and thought the story was garbage and the gameplay way too easy even on critical. All you have to do is spam surge moves and get magica haste. DDD doesn't have awful gameplay (those balloons though), but the story just keeps getting worse and worse with fucking time travel now, and Sora seeming to get dumber imo as the games go on.
I will say I haven't played remind yet. I'm not going to, I played 3 and hated it enough I couldn't bring myself to finish it so I just watched the ending instead. I've seen gameplay of the new data org bosses, which looks pretty damn cool, but I am just not into the combat system or story enough to ever want to pick it up again just for the superbosses. Cant speak on reminds story, didnt care enough to look it up.
Kinda sucks for me that I do dislike those games so much, but hey kh2fm is still there and is even more fun than when I was a kid.
Deaj Interesting... That’s pretty weird but your opinion I guess😂
Deaj Forgot to mention.. Just because the story gets confusing doesn’t mean it’s bad but I’ll agree with you on the time travel stuff. To me time traveling is when people don’t have anymore ideas. Also ddd’s combat was almost the same as BBS. One last thing, I thought BBS’s story was simple and straight forward and the combat was so optimal and strategic (most of the time)
@@Spy-Dtroid Honestly the story isn't really that confusing as long as you play in release order, it's just that so much is changed and retconned that playing it chronologically makes it extremely convoluted.
I will agree that bbs has a pretty straight forward story, my problems with it mainly stem from Terra being a gullible moron and the fact that Sora's keyblade isn't really special in any way anymore. Back in KH1 it seemed pretty clear to me that the universe itself that gave Sora the keyblade, but now it's basically 'inherited'.
I think BBS and DDD have really awesome mob combat (though keyblade combos are weak in comparison to other options), but the boss mechanics are off since they removed the revenge value mechanic from 2 and made staggering random.
To sum it up simply for me KH3 feels hollow and empty when it's supposed to be in the same series as KH1 and KH2 etc. It just doesn't feel like a true KH game with all the characters and fleshed out story.
Since KH3, kingdom hearts has lost so many fans not even TH-cam videos get views anymore. I feel like everyone waited so long and the game was so disappointing no one cares anymore. I don’t care about the black box I don’t cRe who the master of master is anymore I don’t care about the foretellers, it’s boring now
no it isnt the game is fantastic
@@mohamedboulaghlem6462 To you, I suggest you look around you and see the majority of people seem to have disliked it
@@mohamedboulaghlem6462 kh3 was a let down. I'll finish it but its not the kh3 I was expecting. And that Xehanhort killing Kairi scene? Come on, You can't even feel moved by it.
@@pascalsimioli6777 I'm only finishing it because I like KH but after I played the previous games multiple times I just wanted a new experience.
@@pascalsimioli6777 No. I liked it too as did many people. Just because some fans are more vocal about it doest mean they're majority. One of the MAJOR drawbacks of all the KH games besides KH3 was how useless and weak they made Donald and Goofy seem. Donald in particular was reduced to insult memes. So I'm glad KH3 gave him his incredibly badass moment. KH1 was OK but KH2 and DDD are extremely overrated and hyped and Donald is rendered useless in those.
I was looking for somebody else to talk about the feel of the combat. All the big reviewers just talk about how "pretty" it was. I feel like I'm in disney God mode at the very beginning of the game
basically you just press A until the fight is over. it feels roughly like kdh2 on easy mode after youve unlocked every good combat ability using the winnie the pooh blade with double damage- but from the beginning.
I played for 10 hours and dropped it because of how limiting Situation Commands are compared to Reaction Commands. Formchanges were also a terrible replacement for Drives and Attraction Rides should be able to be turned off without Critical Mode or wasting $30 on the DLC for Pro Codes or are limited to certain bosses like the Rock Titan.
@@KaiKrimson56
Form changes are better than Drive Forms.
@@stangerr0267 no
AskYourUncle has a 5 and a half hour long video breaking down how much he dislikes the game, including the combat. Maybe I wasn't listening to the right people, because I ran into Dunkey's review and AskYourUncle first, and "pretty" was not how they described it at all. The word that gets thrown around most is "floaty".
1,2,and Birth by Sleep is the only ones I care for
I like Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, 358/2 Days, and Birth by Sleep. Coded is also a lot of fun as long as you skip the cutscenes. Dream Drop Distance is where the series jumped the shark, in my opinion.
@@ultimaweaponxiii I enjoyed 3D, but looking back at the story, it really did introduce some things that the story would have been better off without.
Ain't jazzed w/ BBS imo
I don’t like how kingdom hearts looks on the unreal engine it makes the graphics feel to cartoony/anime. I’m honestly not a fan of the huge world sizes either. I would easily put KH2 at first place and even KH1 is better then 3
IMO I feel the same. Something about the new fidelity and lighting quality of KH3 gives everything a more "plasticy" feel that is really distracting. The harder color contrast in KH1 and KH2 alongside the toned-down saturation compared to KH3 felt more natural when it came to combining human characters with Disney property characters - the characters and environments visually melded better.
I agree, but the team had to alter the art style in order to match Modern Disney’s/Pixar’s 3D animation. I was really hoping the Xehanort Saga would remain primarily Classic and Renaissance Disney. The Luminous Engine Kingdom Shader would have suited that perfectly. Then they could have gone with Modern 3D Disney for the next saga. Yet another way they could have given KH3 a sense of finality.

Some people still post kh2 content and get more views than kh3 content
dang i reviewed the wrong game i shouldve done kh2 LOL
Ive seen this the other way around as well. :l
no they dont
@@LostTrigger kh2 fanboy
I'm 10 minutes into the game after giving myself a few years to cool off. I thought I was just being too hard on the game. But I don't think I was being hard enough. I actually hate it WAY more now.
And the only challenge in this game is critical mode. If you can't play this game easily on proud mode, you are bad at video games.
yeah i am bad (even on easy mode)
KH3 was inferior to KH2. There should have been more worlds. The trailers pretty much revealed everything in the game and left no room for surprises. However, I personally found the gummi ship flying enjoyable. The music made each flight feel like an adventure.
That's why I don't watch trailers. Blame yourself for not doing the same.
The world count for KH3 is fine
I had to play kingdom Hearts 2 to purge my mind of this abomination
Honestly, it wouldn't have been as bad if it just focused on improving the Kingdom Hearts 2 formula. That means more keyblades, more cool drive forms, actually difficult battles, but with better maps.
The themepark attacks were so incredibly stupid.
I thought the attraction flows were stupid as well. So I just simply DIDN'T USE THEM. Just like how I didn't use limits in KH2.
The attractions killed this game for me before I was even 2 hours in, it just feels like bland button mashing, and having things proc every second is dumb as shit
I felt the same way... So I didn't use attractions. You could have just done that instead of hating on the game.
@@SolidLoach I don't know what to tell you. They also improved the gameplay when the Re:Mind DLC came out, even if you don't have it.
Play critical mode then kid
I played and beat this trash one time and never went back. I deleted it off my PS4 and I'm the kind of guy who's sentimental about games. I've bought FFX 5 different times. KH3 just spat in our faces
14:05 PERFECTLY sums up the dialogue! It is perfection! Can’t stress it enough
haha yep, so funny
This is how I feel for the ff7 remake. It sucks as bad as this this
you think so? whys that?
LostTrigger it’s a really contrived ending that makes no sense to the plot and spits on the existing canon. No pay off at all
@@Milkman69ner That ending for FFVII is totally something I can understand, like that shit came out of nowhere however. Getting to that part was 1000% better than kh3. The combat for kh3 is dog shit. At least with 7 my attacks had actual intertia and weight to them and switching characters was way better. Also the world building can't be compared, Goofy and Donald didn't mean shit to me like Tifa, Jesse, wedge, Biggs, and Barret. At least with them you felt you had a group of friends you cared for.
@@Milkman69ner you... do realised that the remake will consist of three parts right? And this is only just part 1.
Lapse Dilationdrive you obviously haven’t seen it
This game makes me wanna cry. I will never play it again.
;( ouch i iexpected much more
i replayed it today, and it doesn't seem so bad, or at least. I'm playing critical mode and is too unfair, and i'm at the olimpus world, at the first boss, trying to ignore the disney attraction exluding the bosses.
I agree dude i was a major kh fan played all the games and 3 dissapointed me so much i just want to give up on the franchise the game was way to easy even on critical mode there was literallly no final fantasy in this game and the disney stuff was subpar i mean kh2 was fucking awesome and birth by sleep was good
I finished it completed it cause of nostalgia for the previous installments
The combat just sucks ass kh2 was the best imo it was challenging and fun but this game just dissapoints
They let us play as almost every other character on a ds game and multiple birth by sleep. No armor. It has almost no end game compared to 2. It's worse than 2. I expected so much more. There is so much I expected from this game and I got almost none of it. KH3 hurt my heart.
As we near the 2-year anniversary, it’s interesting to revisit the reviews and reevaluate the game. In the end, KH3 is a game with an identity crisis. It suffers from inconsistent direction and misplaced priorities across the board, even in the music direction (how does this game have some of the most beautiful music in the series and then drop the ball so badly with the most important music, the final boss theme?). “Who approved this?!” comes into my mind often while thinking about some of the choices this game makes (*cough Twilight Town). It seems that the devs got so caught up in doing justice by Disney and impressing Pixar that they forgot their main priority with KH3: to deliver a Dark Seeker grand finale for the fans who’ve been invested in the story for so many years. Original worlds and story scenarios are what fans wanted, not Classic Kingdom, sledding and cooking minigames. They put too much of their effort into secondary priorities while the primary priorities were either incomplete or underdeveloped. It’s no wonder Nomura anticipated the backlash he ultimately got. But the game is not irredeemable by any means, and to me that’s what is the most disappointing part of the whole situation. With a little revision and expansion, what’s there could be made into something truly special. It may not ever be perfect, but it still has the potential to be a Dark Seeker grand finale more considerate and appreciative of fans’ loyalty over the last decade, and certainly more worthy of its characters and the series’ legacy.
youre telling me, Im a super obsessed KH fans. My email, my account names in video games, my fantasies, my music playlist, everything was kingdom hearts for so many years. And when I went and bought the game, I could only play it until I got to the Frozen world and thats when I realized this wasn't Kingdom Hearts, it's a f***ing disney game. And I haven't revisited the game since....
What's wrong with the final boss theme?
Why does this have so many dislikes? Your points were great honestly
there's a surprising lack of critical comments down here considering how many dislikes there are
Some people can't handle the truth.
The moment I seen 4 rikus in one place I was like yeah idk wtf going on anymore lmao
To be fair, it was only 3 wasn't it?
The replica, dark riku and the real riku ?
But as if that makes it any better....
there isnt 4 rikus you dumb fking moron
@@mohamedboulaghlem6462 oooh just one less that is soooooooo much better ... idiot
It's dumb when they end KH3 on a Cliffhanger. Waited 14 years and yeah no final fantasy characters and story.
literally no one asked for another pirates world i mean NO ONE ... and the fact that they only used pixar movies too was such an obvious way of disney to just promote their newer movies...and if you're gonna do a toy story world, where the fuck are all the iconic places like pizza planet? instead we got a street and a random mall... don't even get me started with the final world or the final boss battle
the dislikes are the same people who support bad writing like db super, rwby
oh yeah i would like to add that KH 3 copied the same ending as blazblue central fiction except the weight was better executed
It's more just people that have a different. There is not a single person in the entire world that supports bad writing.
DBS isn't half as badly written as KH3 is. Super isn't writing masterclass but at least it has some entertaining characters like Frieza and Vegeta. All the characters in KH3 are shit.
Dragon ball should’ve ended with Z. Kingdom Hearts should’ve ended at 2
Or...they have a different opinion. That is a thing too, you know.
I wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas to be in KH3. I wanted to team up with Jack Skeleton again.
that wouldve been dope
Okay cool, but they already did both the Halloween part in KH1 and the Christmas part in KH2, there is no material for Halloween Town in KH3, the most they could have done is put Jack Skellington as a summon, I wish they did that.
Kingdom Hearts 1 had the best story. Kingdom Hearts 2 had the best gameplay. Kingdom Hearts 3 had neither.
Kh3 had solid gameplay and the best worlds to explore so.....
@@jeffreyali1456 Kh1's worlds had a much better sense of interactivity, which to me equates to better world exploration
@@jeffreyali1456 I also wouldn't refer to the gameplay as "solid", but rather experimental. Not bad, but definitely not defined
@@zemaculate i like kh1’s worlds, but you can’t deny that kh3’s worlds were much bigger to explore for and looked amazing on unreal engine 4. Also the gameplay is pretty solid when you use all of the mechanics the game has in store for you. Play critical mode and you’ll see what I mean
@@jeffreyali1456 I haven't played critical mode yet, so you could be right, and the worlds looked amazing, but aside from Toybox and Pirates of Caribbean world, and maybe Rapunzel world, I didn't think they were all that great
Maybe its the ever so awkward pacing and inhumane interactions and dialogue between the characters? (minus the hugs, I liked those.) Maybe its the cringe shonen anime tone? Maybe its the fact they brought back everyone you've previously beaten and have to fight them AGAIN (the organization, xemnas and ansem SoD)? Maybe its the the fact you feel more overpowered than you did in kh2? Maybe its the fact that the ending was a sucker punch to the gut and still goes on asking more questions on top of other questions? Maybe its the fact its bloated as all hell and more complicated than it needs to be (also time travel UGH!)? Maybe its the fact that the Disney worlds still feel like filler? Maybe its the hype has been built up to a top that can't be reached after waiting over a decade and a half? Maybe its the fan service of that mmo game no one here in the states got to play? I don't even care about the lack of FF characters in this main entry (re:minded be damned), kinda ironic don't you think? Kh2 still felt like a conclusion more than this ever did. When some of the characters were gone, we seriously thought they were G-O-N-E. Roxas, the Org. XIII, including Axel, and most imortantly; Xehanort.
Time travel has been around since the very beginning we just didn't know it yet

@@hirotashi5950 it's called go get ramed by Goofy's shield... and pointy end of it 🤪
And kh2 on proud wasn't that?
The add on games between KH1 and KH2 do an excellent job of giving more context without muddling up the story. You can jump from KH1 and KH2 and still understand what’s going on. The jump between KH2 and KH3 is so fucking huge. The entire final act makes absolutely no sense if you haven’t played any of the add on games. The emotional payoff only works for a tiny portion of the audience. And the rest are left wondering who the fuck these characters are and why we should care about them. Imagine being a newcomer to the series, after the Disney worlds, the entire story is just a clusterfuck of trying to tie loose ends.
I sorta disagree with the gameplay part. Yes, the Disney rides were pretty bad, and the fact that you couldn’t cancel was a big issue, but I found that you could use pretty creative combos by stacking 3 form changes, and keep switching while you fight. Using magic and shot locks to their fullest potential added to the gameplay as well. You can make some pretty awesome combos with this style, something you couldn’t do in KH2. The game just wasn’t well utilized for this play style.
You can't do combos like that in 2? Are you fucking crazy? There are double no triple the combos you can do in 2. They are just harder to pull off
Kh3 wasn't the worst game in the series, but it was the game that I had the most problems with. Attraction flows were always overused to the point that the mechanic became unfun. Arendelle and Kingdom of Corona felt like a direct rehash of their movies with Arendelle being the most pointless when half of the world you're in an icy labyrinth and the other half you're traversing up a mountain. As a finale, this game's story was all over the place. I'm tired of Kh3 stans saying it's the best game. They try to discredit Kh2, saying the second visits to disney worlds were pointless when it gave us more gameplay, which was when Kh2 was at it's strongest.
Bro has not played a lot of games💀💀💀💀
There aren't many bad games I was actually looking forward to playing
You forgot how some of the organization 13 members seem to just vanish
KH3 Trash 🗑bro Kh1 and 2 the best
Fuck you asshole
For all of its flaws, birth by sleeps command system was one of my favorite battle systems in the series. Dream drop wasn’t too bad either.
Bbs was my favorite kh game
It is such a honor that you screencap'd the videos you mention like that: The whole screen, with all the information it has (the name of the channel, title of the video), with nothing flashing above it. It also (deservedly) separates what's made by you from what somebody else made ^^ God bless you, that's godly.
Thanks haha, don't want to steal any content while at the same time I think it's hilarious seeing how long it takes to actually get caught up on the series/understand it
It’s because there are Disney fans,and then there are suckers. True Disney fans are the ones that can’t stand the Woke Crap like myself,who are losing patience for Disney to be like it used to be. Suckers are the ones who will love Disney no matter what franchise or classic film they ruin. However I still have a love for the Kingdom Hearts games,as long as they don’t Woke KH4 up! KH3 isn’t a bad game,but KH2 is better.
Kingdom hearts is the few series that got worse as every next installment came out
The kh game really got worse when 2 came out
Kh2 is so replay-able. I didn’t even want to finish kh3
Gameplay wise I would say it's the 3rd best in the series but story wise it's the 3rd worst. Also what you said about this game being just another kh game is definitely something I would agree with. It didn't really wrap up anything other than the villain but Ansem and Xemnas had similar conclusions as well. And I know people might argue that this is the closure for the other characters but at the same time, wouldn't they still be important in the next saga? I think KH is trying to be the next dragon ball but honestly it can't pull it off.
Glad other people feel the same way, agree with the comment!
To be fair, they never even said EVERYTHING would be wrapped up. It was only ever confirmed Xehanort would be concluded, nothing else
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE I think your misunderstanding my complaints, Im fine with things being left in the open for future plots, but things are so open in this game that characters literally do nothing and have nothing going on, like each character could have their own game explaining what they did off screen for 20 hours before coming back to give their 3 lines and die
This is disingenuous. The game play is smooth and spectacular. Sure the difficulty can leave a bit to be desired outside of critical mode but that doesn't make it a bad game. Don't like Attractions? Don't use them or turn them off.
I don't think you know what disingenuous
Also the game developers already updated the game to make it easier to dodge so it wasn't just me who thought the cancdl windows were a bit weird
"Don't use it" isn't an argument, im critiquing a video game, if they put something in the game then the want you to use it, so I'm going to critique how it's used and the effect of the mechanic. And it I have to use LESS of the combat then obviously I'm going to start to find the combat in general more boring and stale. So you can't tell me the combat is so smooth and spectacular and then say stop using parts of it. That's dumb
@LostTrigger
No putting something in the game gives you the option to use it. Just like NoExp is an option, not a forced thing. Therefore attractions are optional. That doesn't take away from the smooth and spectacular combat. Options are never a bad thing
@@stangerr0267 let's options FOR ME makes a game less interesting, which is why I critiqued it in my video
And again, this line of thinking makes no sense, developers don't spend months and years developing parts of the game for you to ignore, they want you to engage with it, and if they want to try something like this again in another game I'm listing my advice for how I think it could be better
Every part of the game is optional, the story is optional, the keyblade forms are optional, leveling your character is option, saying something "is optional" means nothing
@@stangerr0267 EXPzero was an option for people wanting to give themselves a challenge. Attractions were put on triangle with the intent of players using them. They are not the same
I played all too kingdom hearts was my first game I've ever actually got that I wanted ... And this game is trash... If I had development I'd give custom items for clothes... Keyblade armor more open worlds.... More darker concept... Sora has a kid with Kairi trained by aqua.. At the end ..
Derek Dodson Sora can’t fuk he is a virgin that’s forbidden

If you had developed youd add in all this stuff lol. Shows how much ppl know about game development. It isnt just playing with toys. Ridiculous. Yall are in the minority, heavily. I understand that yall just yell loudly into your echochamber so you cant realise it, but you are

- Keyblade armor sounds cool.
- Open worlds sound cool.
- Darker concept sounds cool.
- SORA HAS A KID?! HELL NO.
- Kairi trained by Aqua sounds cool.
This game had the worst finale I have ever played and I didnt even like 1 or 2 all that much anyways
I agree with pretty much everything you said. I was blown away by the graphics and was happy to see monsters inc but i wasnt really....paying attention to how much i actually enjoyed myself and first playthrough i always watch every cutscene....i started skipping cutscenes everytime during hercules world. I only stopped once i got near the keyblade graveyard because thats what i cared about. The getting hit shit you mentioned i noticed RIGHT away, thats the shit i agree with the most. The attraction attacks are useful when im dying because as you said its a get out of jail free card, i wouldve died multiple times without them but that wouldve been fine. I died a lot on the other games i expected it but this game... i feel like they didnt know what to do. Story wise and aside. They removed the Final Fantasy characters and this gets rid of the most serious characters in the game, which cuts suspense. Then you removed that tone, they removed the music that goes with it by using the music during attractions. Stuff youd hear at an attraction itself. I hate the crazy river one the tea cups are okay, pirate ship is beautiful but i dont like it, i like my team attacks more. Hate the troy story robots, theyre irritating so i use them on them. But yeah the goofy aspects of the game and the feel good parts were expanded upon, but they didnt wanna overdo it? So they add the music that was like the older games, which underdoes the suspense and still overdoes the stuff they left in.
My own issue with the game is i lost interest. I am a completionist however, so i did the flantastic 7, i did the Arendelle treasure part thing, i got all the lucky symbol photos, got all 7 orichalcum + and got the ultima weapon. Now i need to get all the trophies and i may get remind idk.
Weird how most of the comments agree with you, but the like to dislike ratio is almost even.
Some people just don't want to explain it or argue. Nothing wrong with that.
Have you ever played the ET game I’m pretty sure it’ll change your mind
Oh God no, I'm not completely insane
Even CodeMonkeys showed how bad that game can be
and let's not forget all of the stupid side shit to cover up the facet that the main story is short and shallow... yeah let's toss in a chefs bistro, i didnt buy kingdom hearts to crack eggs and shake pepper dawg.
From a writing perspective alone this game royally ticked me off. It acts like it wants to set up all this grand stuff with all these characters, but by the end of it, every one of those characters just gets the shaft. No chance to actually do anything of any relevance. Kairi being the biggest problem in the writing. They try to act like she could be something more, and what do they do next, they make her a damsel in distress, again. KH3 is by all means a dumpster fire, a big black stain on the series, and my reason to not care about any further installments of the game. I was a huge fan of the series, but I will never touch it again.
What happen with KH 1 and 2, you'll never going to play them again?
@@La-hora-del-terror Not really sure even those two are all that worth it since they beg for a better ending to their stories that I am now certain we will never get.
Bet you're not okay with people liking it like every other person who hates this game and says it "ruined the whole series for them".
@@camharkness If someone else likes it that's fine. It doesn't affect me if someone else disagrees with me, everyone is free to have their own view.
@@5Topdogg sorry, that was a force of habit. You have enough people who hate kh3 insult you and treat you like crap for enough time you kinda start thinking everyone is gonna be like that.
Yup i agree. And when they said remind will answer all of your questions……not!! It made you ask more questions!
A little nitpicky on the combat but understandable in comparison to BBS. I think the gripe about being vulnerable to attacks during combos happened in previous installments too. It's not just KH3. Simple consequence of not timing your attacks. Risk and reward. If you keep getting hit obviously you just have to block, dodge or anticipate the enemies actions before attacking. I'm with you on the attractions and links. I didn't use them very often or at all in some cases. I just wanted that game to be over. I skipped so many cutscenes. I felt like the spongebob meme everytime I saw an organization member talk longer than 30 seconds. Aight Imma head out *skip scene*
I think here he was saying that there's so many potential sources that can deal damage to you from so far away, it's impossible to see a window of opportunity that's long enough for a full combo, even a short one.
@@-JaggedGrace- was that your experience too though? Because that honestly wasn't an issue for me. I had a harder time with certain enemies in Birth By Sleep initially until I leveled up and figured their patterns. I think he just didn't play very well. Kingdom Hearts 3 is maybe a little too easy if I'm being honest.
@@zealpulses3826 tbh i don't remember my gameplay experience too well, I just remember they shoved every mechanic they could from previous games, but made them worse to make up for you having so many options. It didn't feel like I had to earn anything, i could just keep throwing out "super" moves, and they stopped feeling very super
@@-JaggedGrace- yeah, it was truly a step back for the series.
11:05 😄😄 Imagine how confusing a kingdom hearts and doctor who collaboration would be
It's the best disappointment I played thats how I felt my first time playing kh3. I knew going in this game it wasn't gonna meet expectations
But there was parts that did give me nostalgic kh1 and 2 vibes. It was a beautiful game but it was also a disappointment because they could have done so much more with this game. They did do better in kh remind. But It was a lil too late for alot of fans. If they would have delayed the game again and put all the things in reminds and worked more on the game it would have been waaay better. Wouldn't have fixed the pacing and story issues. but would have been a better playing experience for first time kh3 players.
This man had no idea what was going on.
The game was disappointing, but the graphics are godly
Except for Kairi’s awful character model. Her hair looks like a bad wig =(
Thanks, I thought it was just me...
It is like they just took it for granted and let a bunch of trainees write the game...
I had to triple check that the originals were SO old and SO GOOD!
This feels OLD and DATED!
PLUS THE CONTROL LAYOUT IS STUPID!!!!! WHOEVER USED "O" to JUMP!!!!!!!!
If you look online, you'll find that it was Nomura who wrote the story himself, and some other dude named Masaru Oka. He was one of the writers for 3DS, and we all know how that turned out.
O to jump? That has literally been a franchise controls staple for over 15 years.
Hey I respect your opnion but I thought this game was good. Disappointing compared to 2 obviously, but I think the music sound design graphics and all the other production is good. The story is a......mess admitly. And the gameplay while fun is a bit easy and overwhelming. I would give it 8 or around there.
Yeah. Where would you rank it? I would say that it is second best.
@@diamondarmy5546 4th
Even the music and sound design were frustratingly inconsistent compared to past games imo. KH3 had a recurring pattern of 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It would do something good and then almost immediately undercut itself. Even with the music. The game has some of the most beautiful pieces of music in the series (“Edge of Existence,” “Stranded Beyond,” “Eye of the Storm,” “Guardians of Light,” “Dawn of Hope,” etc) but then undermines all of that hard work by screwing up the final boss theme, the single most important and anticipated music in the game. Did the music team really think that after 6 years of fans dreaming about what Yoko would do for Master Xehanort, KH music fans would just say “oh well, the nice cutscene music makes up for it” lol. It’s similar to how they put so much effort into the minigames (Classic Kingdom, cooking, sledding, etc) when Twilight Town was incomplete and there was not a single original explorable world (things fans actually cared about). In the end, KH3 suffered from inconsistent direction and misplaced priorities across the board. It’s a shame because there is a lot of good in the game that, with some expansion and a little revision, could be great.
Whilst the game was disappointing, worst game ever? That's an exaggeration. The story was flawed, but In my opinion they did a decent job wrapping up the extremely convoluted plot from all the games.
The gameplay itself was fun, polished and a challenge on the higher difficulty levels.
Visually beautiful, an amazing soundtrack. Sure all the world's weren't amazing (Especially Frozens, but squareenix had their hands tied by Disney there) but it was a good game.
I literally beat the whole game on the hardest difficulty and didn't die till that unnecessary underwater boss fight at the end. If were basing it on the franchise, anticipating, build up and endless HD remasterings; this is one of the worst games ever.
It is that bad because of the conclusion. The series became irrelevant
The gameplay is polished? Yeah no, none of the moves have any intertia. Even when you land a hit it feels like a wiff, and from the very beginning you learn. X,X,X,X,X,Triangle...queue in meaningless special moves because they are overused, and some literally reuse animations. I love how people tell others to adjust the comabt or have to play on critical mode. If the game was truly polished we wouldn't have to fix the combat for them
it ended on a cliffhanger, how did they wrap anything up
@Jopa_Quest I agree.
KH3 has the most nonsensical story I've ever seen. Period.
Nah I've seen worse
@@diamondarmy5546 Far worse, in my opinion.
I had no issues with combat but the story was the WORST STORY I've ever seen. It didn't even really have a story of its own. It's story was "Sora gallavants around pretty aimlessly while plot threads from the unnecessary spinoffs get poorly tied up until suddenly the Keyblade War begins". And then Xehanort - the main villain of the series arc that has ruined COUNTLESS lives - ends up being a misunderstood good guy and gets a happy ending. What. The. Fuck? How lazy does the story have to be?
Also many of the worlds feel so....bland. Maybe if they put less budget into the incredibly redundant Gummi Ship area, the worlds could have been fun.
The true story was the friends we made along the way
when you go and explore to the disney worlds it is fun but the final missions of the game are so lame, cutscene,fight,cutscene fight, so boring that I just stopped playing.
thats kind of funny, alot of people consider the ending the best
Uh, no. Larxene has Antenna Hair, not Pigtails. There's a Difference.
Also, why bring up how Larxene was part of the Union X Era when you don't refer to her and Marluxia by their Original Names, Elrena and Lauriam respectively?
They were both in union
And it's probably because I didnt know their real names. Their real names didn't matter to this video I'm not trying to explain the kh
The funny thing is that I do agree to the most things people criticise about KH3 but somehow I don’t hate it at all.
It has it flaws but we got games like coded so I don’t get why KH3 should be the piece of shit many say it is.
In my opinion KH3 biggest mistake was to not know what the fans wanted so it didn’t met the expectations people build up over the years.
And if we compare KH3 to other games in generell it is far from being a shit game.
I will refuse to see it like that as long as the gaming industry puts out trash like FIFA, Fallout 76, Battlefront...
It’s a decent game in my opinion.
But still KH2 is king of the hill and will probably forever be.
KH3 Is just simply disappointing, it’s still a fun game.. but utterly disappointing.
@@MR.GOAT. It's disapointing because people didn't get to see what was coming and built up unrealistic expectations without even realising it and now have an ungodly hate fir the game because it isn't KH2 FM
Diamond Army that’s not why it’s disappointing. One reason why is the Devs had to switch engines, so a lot of time was spent re-building the game. But there’s many reasons why it’s disappointing. None relating to your typical response.
@@MR.GOAT. I don't get how my response as I have never aeen anybody say what I said. But yes they had to rebuild the game and I'm glad they did
Diamond Army if you don’t know that... that means you’re new, & there’s no point in me replying to you.
Yeah nah screw this I'm literally about to cry because they couldn't give me the satisfaction of even being able to stand playing the game. Very disappointing
I also was dissapointed with kh3 too because it was so different than kh2 we all think is peak. But DUDE. Its the same as every kh game. Different combat system. Different keyblade features. Different gummi ship stuff. EVERY kh3 is different In the play aspect. And yes the story is convoluted but all this adds up to one question
HAVE U EVER PLAYED A FINAL FANTASY GAME?
Time travel? It ff1 STARTS with time travel.
Summons? Duh welcome
A convoluted story? Have u played ff7 ff8 or ff10?
Every game is different? More similar than MOST ff titles. Even ff7 to crisis core is crazy different in combat and execution.
Everything I are griping over. Is EXACTLY how square has been making games for years.
U know what I don't want? A fuckin copy and paste of the same story and same game 3 times. Why do u think God of war changed it up after 3 main lime titles? U think that was a good choice? I do
My largest gripes are. I'd rather have more but smaller worlds.
And every game exept this one had a coliseum.
Aaannnd. That's it? I mean. Everything is u listed is either personal preference or strait up things that have always changed every game.
That's one thing I couldn't understand with this TH-cam. Just feels like yapping? Dude explains every kingdom heart but not liking things that were removed?
Kingdom Hearts 3 could have had the same climactic end like god of war 3 did. But Square Enix decide to Butcher xehanort’s character and ruin the game for everybody who hated him.
Osaka team ruined the combat system
Now that he's in smash and giving 3 anothor chance today I realize why this game fucking sucks and why dream drop distance deserves a port and remaster.
You had me in the first half lmao
2.8 remix exists.
And DDD wasn't all that good, it can be entertaining but the last good one was BBS (at least Final Mix version)
I HATE KH3 When the creator writes a letter basically apologizing for the game.....i think i should've known what to expect.
The thing that annoys me about KH is that it has the potential to be soo good. You have interesting themes, really dramatic moments and oy my God the soundtracks of these games. But all of that is covered by cringe anime aesthetic, meme worthy dialogues and voice acting and a story that is sooooo far up in its own ass that it makes Metal Gear Solid look simple by comparison.
I have only played KH and KH2 back in the day but this series is the favorite of a good friend of mine and I liked the first two games so I bought the whatever mix version that has all of them except three.
"Start by Birth by Sleep, it's the first chronologically and a fan favorite" he said. Ok, I started the game and got bombarded by kindergarten level dialogue and tutorials then picked the big guy cause his part of the story is apparently the first chronologically and the dialogue in the Cinderella world made me quit. I can't do this, I'm like 15 years too old to take this crap seriously.
KH3 is a terrible game, ive always loved KH but this game with DDD was absolute shit
This game was ass, hot garbage. With the exception of olympus and toy box the game was just clips from disney movies. So many cutscenes that just dragged on forever basically straight rips from the movies. This game was what made me decide beyond kh3 i will never ever support anything disney touches ever. I know Nomura knows how to make a game with a compeling plot, it is obvious disney stepped in. They were hemmoraging money buying ip's and putting dei and lgbtq in them and told nomura they need to advertise shit for disney plus, sell merch and bring people to the parks.
Props to all of you for finishing it! I couldn’t. I stopped playing an hour after I finished Hercules’s world. It was so boring and the story felt so hollow I found myself not caring about the direction of the story. I felt the same way about FF7 Remake. I was so excited about both games and uninstalled both without finishing.
*plays game for an hour
"man this sucks"
I totally get KH but I’m surprised you felt the same about FF7R. I felt like there was more love and passion that went into FF7 remake. Characters were done perfect, combat actually has a lot of depth, and they played out some scenes that reminded me why I loved FF in the first place. Ending is divisive but that’s another story. I recommend giving FF another chance. I promise it’s nowhere near as shallow as KH3.
@@diamondarmy5546 Yea man. i'm not wasting time on a terribly boring game haha. Honestly if it had any of the charm that 1 and 2 had i would have kept playing, but it didn't. the acting felt forced and flat. I had no idea what was going on either. Even after catching my self up on the story, i had a hard time getting into it.
@@brandonbeeson2020 It's not boring. It's not better than KH2, but it is good. What issues did you have with the game?
@@emptymelodies3316 i do agree that that characters were designed perfectly, but that's really it for me. NPCs were bland, there was constant texture popping issues that pulled me out of the world, and some of the combat had depth but most of it really involved me controlling one character and using magic constantly and hoping i don't run out of magic and Ether. *spoiler in comment* I did give it another chance and made it to the chapter with the plate collapse and stopped playing again because the Reno and Rude fight was so grindy and just not fun at all. It also just stresses me out having to switch between characters in real time constantly and having to keep track of all their health and mana. i really enjoyed Chapter 9 though. like the honey bee inn and the Don were sooooo good!
If they had just stuck to the traditional FF formula and cut out all the cringy ass theme park special attacks the game would have been good, I HATED them.
I’m sure Disney had some requests to put them in there.
Crit let's you turn those off
