A friend of mine tried KH but just couldn't get it at all. He said it made no sense and was for nothing since Ansem wasnt killed in the first game.
He just didnt get the story at all.

(Can't remember the title, can't be bothered to look it up). Well, I'm sick of it. A crazy amount of fighting and only extremely small snippets of storyline. At day 250ish I have decided I can't take it anymore and will trade it in for something else. I really doubt that I'll ever get another KH game. I guess you have to be a long term fan? I dunno. Either way, it's not for me.

Hey, we told you that you picked the worst possible game to play first. Nobody would be a Kingdom Hearts fan after playing only that game.

To be fair 358 days isnt the best KH game period.
The other ones are a lot more story based, while this one was mainly for a multiplayer KH experience.
Plus this one is the only KH game to do missions, the other games are more free roam and finding secrets in a better way than 358's linearity crap.

I know, I know. But it was cheap!

From what I hear, you also don't want to start with Re:coded. In fact, you're best just staying away from the DS all together until you care enough about the series to get into the side stories. In fact, I'd recommend either sticking to release order (KH, CoM, KHII, Days, BbS, coded) or chronological order (BbS, KH, CoM, Days, KHII, coded). If you play in any other order, you probably won't give two shits about the series. Of course, you might play in those orders and still not give two shits about the series, and that's fine too.

For the first time since 1998, I've picked up an NBA game that doesn't have "Jam" or "Street" in the title: NBA 2K11.

I've not paid attention to basketball since His Airness retired, but lately I've been feeling nostalgic for those days, so I grabbed it on a whim. After all, 2K11's big draw is the focus on MJ.

So far, I'm blown away at how much they captured the broadcast feel. Madden's attempt to do the same looks like a joke in comparison. The commentary is fluid to the point where I've done at least one double-take each game. They seem to have recorded lines for almost every situation. There's still a bit of the stilted "Jordan... ... ... with the rebound!", and if too much happens too quickly, they'll choke up and lag behind for awhile, but hey, video games.

The animation is extremely smooth outside of some twitchiness and clipping (and the faces are the stuff of nightmares), and the gameplay itself is challenging and satisfying.

Unfortunately, I have the PC version, and no dongle for my 360 controller. Which means keyboard controls. Simply put, they are a MESS. I remapped the hell out of them, and they're still horrid. Forget all of the advanced moves in the game; they just ain't happening with only two hands. The dunk challenge mode? Nigh impossible.

Extremely half-assed port for an amazing game. I actually want to get back into basketball after this.

Most people believe it's a stable time loop, everyone except Clover (who had no way of knowing) was pretty much lying to him about her being dead, otherwise he wouldn't be able to connect with Akane and then TIME PARADOX. There's nothing ever explicitly said though.

They're gonna post a Q&A with the writer soon, so maybe that and other stuff will get adressed there.

I have to disagree. The Factory of a Better Tomorrow is one of the coolest things ever. The only world I didn't like was Avalonia.

We got the Collectors Edition.. so my boy now has a Sackboy of his own.. the bookends where disappointing.. its just cardboard.. but all the costumes are rad..

I thought the bookends were neat. Not great, but still nice to just have. The costumes are great too. Especially Gonzo and CLU.

I am still hoping that TTG, LUCASARTS, and Steve Purcell can make a deal with SONY so I can have some official Monkey Island and Sam & Max costumes in game.

Dear Telltale: When you read that post, a little light bulb should have appeared above your heads.

*Irishmile* · 01/22/2011, 06:49 am

Someone said a while back maybe it was Jake I cant remember... anyway they said that they tried to contact MM or SONY but didn't hear back.

Yeah but didnt Brian Mighty Pirate(is he still here?) create Monkey Island themed costumes?

Still on Coded.

I actually made those... he used it as an AV

DirecTV was here to get it installed. My house is so big that we have to rewire it to get better signal. Great.

Gman5852 · 01/22/2011, 08:54 am

You know what.
TAKE THAT CODED!
No photo like Guru Guru though.
It is of a little sora jumping though.

And the final boss was cheap, not cheap as in so hard that it is stupid, but cheap as in money.
It was basicaly roxas from 358 days. THAT IS IT!
His moveset is the same with only one new move which I have seen in KH before(pillars of light) and he can perform his limit break too.

Likes:
Gameplay, always nice for a new KH.
The rail shooting. This could easily be a fun minigame
The platforming: easy but fun
Castle Oblivion: Being able to effect the outcome is fun, like creating destiny islands where they all get taken over by darkness and just ignore it.
More custcenes than 358: You know story something the last DS game lacked
Linking to Birth By Sleep at the end, Mickeys shock of what has happened to Ventus Aqua and Terra is great.
Replaying levels and bosses Replayability is always a good time
Dislikes
The RPG elements. Too cheap and terrible.
Too short for a KH game. 358 days was huge, same with Birth By Sleep.
Not that many Keyblades. One per world, not much and with the few worlds there is...
Felt like Chain of Memories all over again. We have replayed the setting of KH twice already.

4/5 good game.

I'm still playing Stick RPG 2 I just can't seem to find the 4D hypercube.

Hmm... now that The Devil's Playhouse is on PSN maybe they have a better shot.
