you know, i never got why people always asume that because something has RPG in its genre it means it will have an epic story that will blow your socks off, etrian odessey has a simple story, EYE divine cybermancy has a good story that is hidden away for you to find, so why is it that people just hear "RPG" and asume great story, its like going into the original doom coming from bioshock and thinking you are gonna get a great story, i dont understand it.(Keep in mind I'm not trying to start a flame war here, I just want to explain my point of view a bit more clearly)
When it comes to what I said about character design then sure, you could say that's personal preference, but I think we can all agree that - again - if a story driven game doesn't have a good story then it cannot really be considered all that good. Sure, there can be a good game without a good (or no) story but not only KH is an RPG (and I think it's pretty safe to say that the story matters a lot in an RPG) but it's also pretty obvious that the devs gave a lot of space to it in these specific games. In fact, if I really have to be completely objective and unbiased about it, the gameplay might not be completely bad but it's also not really all that special - there are arguably many better hack and slash games out there, even on the good ol' PS2 itself. So I really feel that in order to like KH as a game you must like the story to at least some extent and I don't know about you, but most people I've met that like or dislike it pretty much confirm what I've said so far.
you dont seem to understand how sales numbers work, the point is that you bought a copy, not that you paid less after it lost part of its value and would have been cheaper no matter whatYes. You must have read over it:
I once considered buying a game, but wanted to try it out for myself first. So i pirated it. I ended up playing it so much that i held off buying it until it had a couple price cuts and a 75 percent discount.
In other words: had i bought the game rather than pirated it, the company would've gotten about 40 bucks extra in sales. Hence... Piracy influences sales.
(And that's an example where the company was able to sell me their game for one tenth of the price... i can give more than a few examples of companies i pirated that went bankrupt instead).
Your turn (in pb if you don't want to further detail this thread): prove to me that piracy not only doesn't affect sales, but in a way that doesn't involve a leap of faith (which is required if you really think you can "factually" prove it).
I'll agree with you that smash 64 is better than brawl and Tr4sh. I like Melee, 64, and PM equally.- Smash64 > every other smash > melee.
People expect a good story in RPGs because, as the name implies, they're all about immersing the player in a world, so RPGs tend to favour stuff such as worldbuilding, character design, storytelling, plot twists, the overall atmosphere and the like over gameplay, where it's usually reduced to a mimimum when compared to many other genres (just think classic turn based RPGs, for example). Of course this doesn't mean that hybrid RPG games usually have minimalistic gameplay, but that's the whole point about Kingdom Hearts: it has a poor storyline and a pretty generic gameplay that, while you could say it isn't bad per se, many other similiar games do it better, so it doesn't really check any of the boxes.you know, i never got why people always asume that because something has RPG in its genre it means it will have an epic story that will blow your socks off, etrian odessey has a simple story, EYE divine cybermancy has a good story that is hidden away for you to find, so why is it that people just hear "RPG" and asume great story, its like going into the original doom coming from bioshock and thinking you are gonna get a great story, i dont understand it.
my point here is, a lot of people, like me, like the combat and gameplay in general, some dont for the same reasons they dont like, say, dynasty warriors, so that part is really just preference, but if you think that the story is gonna fill the void that left the fact that you dont like the *gameplay* in a *game* then you are not looking at it in the right way, if you dont like turn based TRPGs then dont expect a great story out of project x zone
The "Dual of the Fates" scene and music are my favorites out of the entire series.Star Wars E1: The Phantom Menace game was a brilliant gem
How about you don't claim you can prove something if all you can do is get personal at those who challenges you to it?you dont seem to understand how sales numbers work, the point is that you bought a copy, not that you paid less after it lost part of its value and would have been cheaper no matter what
get personal? i just told you that you, the person im personally speaking to, doesnt know how sales and price falloffs workHow about you don't claim you can prove something if all you can do is get personal at those who challenges you to it?
If that is the same one I played on the PS1 (starts out with you on the ship facing shielded robots?) then I did find it more enjoyable than most of the reviews gave it credit for. Difficulty was a bit all over the place, though I was somewhat younger so might find it easier today.Star Wars E1: The Phantom Menace game was a brilliant gem
While I can certainly stand to hear a debate on game length I do have to make the snarky remark of if it was that incredible then you would not be burned out.When it takes too long I get burnt out and usually ditch the game, no matter how incredible it might be.
Xbox is a better company than Sony. I'm not talking games or exclusives--just as a gaming company on its own.

Not digital games, but physical.Microsoft is a 'SO NICE' company that they tryed to deny/forbid some of our gamer rights, like sell/transfer digital 'used' games and so on (who watched the E3 Xbox One reveal know what i am talking about) which, ironically, made Sony's job so easy that they did nothing than don't go to the same path that Microsoft tryed to choose, so, they easily won Wii U/PS4/Xbox One gen.
After all that, they were forced to run against their mistakes, since they were losing a load of cash from Xbox section.
Seeing all that we know how Microsoft really is if they could dominate on consoles/games like they do on PC..

I remember seeing they saying similar stuff for digital games too.
I think it was always physical. Nobody has ever made a platform to where you can sell your used, digital games. How would that even be possible? You can't sell/trade your used digital games on PS4 either, unless you sell your account but then you risk the seller just recovering the account.
