Is there anyone else who couldn't get into this game?

[GypsyElder]

For some reason I've had such a hard time getting into KH, I've been trying to play it forever but can't keep myself interested. When KH series first came out it was such a big deal and I never felt that it was as great as it was made out to be. Not that it's a bad game but every time someone brings it up I try to figure out what it is exactly that makes me dislike it.

Anyone else feel like this or have a hard time getting into it? I still haven't beat a game yet. I've played parts of the first and second but that's about it :s


nope still cant get into it.

That's odd, maybe it's not your kind of game. I loved it and could never put down the controller, even with the second one and chain of memories, I haven't played the new one yet.

If you're not into it, don't bother. Wish I could take my own advice for Final Fantasy 5. I can't stand this game anymore, I poured 20 hours into it and it feels like a chore to beat it. I hate it. Yeah that's right, I hate it.

I just wanna be able to say I beat all the final fantasy's. But I did master kingdom hearts 1 and 2, maybe if you play more of it, you'll get into it? I have no idea.

I was able to jump into the KH series and get through the game pretty solidly. For me it felt a little slow at first but once Sora was able to start travelling to the new worlds for the first time, it started to pick up and really become fun. The battle system is hella fun (even moreso in KH2) and kept me hooked for hours at a time while grinding for that exp. The only thing that I had against it was that it was very easy, though less so in Expert/Proud mode. Maybe you should try it at a harder difficulty?

lol we're opposite I like V, it's underrated. I'm still playing but I'm at the end and all I'm doing is training and getting ready to fight Shinryu.

maybe....I'm gonna keep trying to play, since I keep getting bored :s there's very few games I actually get bored with and this is one of them for some reason.

the game is funny though (:

Yeah I couldn't get into it. I think I managed about an hour or two, but just found it very annoying and tedious. The characters I found to be annoying as hell, which really didn't help its cause.

I even tried out 2 to see if it was any better, but this time, not only the characters annoyed me, the way that Seifer's crew had just become childish bullies, and they had Vivi as a tagalong just pissed me off.

I haven't tried either of them since.

Only game in the KH franchise that I really couldn't get into was 358/2 days. It's not bad, just not one of my faves. Probably didn't help that I had to leave it for a while because I lost the charger to my DS, so I guess I fell out of it. May pick it up again to give it another chance though.

So yeah, I'm of the impression that the games aren't really your style. That's fine though. People have different tastes for such things. It's cool that you're still giving it a shot.

I only played KH1 once. Beat it, never touched it again. I didn't even bother with that Ultima Weapon. Sephiroth was a joke and I beat him around the time I beat the game with the Hallow Bason keyblade. Sephiroth is ez. I was disappointed in the game, made Squall and Cloud horrible, and Aeris is dead.

Maybe you just don't like it because of how ridiculous the premise is. How does anyone take this game seriously? The gameplay may be fantastic, I don't know, but if I can't get drawn into it, it's a failure as an RPG; and I can't get into something that casts Donald Duck as a main character. It just makes me want to laugh. If it were any other kind of game, I may forgive it - after all, the concept behind Mario is ridiculous enough to have been inspired by LSD - but for me to enjoy a narrative driven RPG, I have to be able to take it seriously.

That is exactly how I thought of it too. I was like Disney? Pffffffffffffft.

But I tried it and I actually really liked it. Once I let go of the fact that my two other characters were Donald Duck and Goofy. That was hard though.

[loaf]

Whoa whoa, Donald and Goofy were cool in that game. It was like, almost everything else that was a bit bad.

[Jonathanx221]

Minus all the disney crap I think the game has a deep story, really deep, and pretty dark too. I loved it. Those kids go through A LOT!

[Belugn]

I didn't finish KH1, because I just got lost all the time.

I however finished KH2, and played it without any real pauses, having a fun time. KH's game play is INCREDIBLY fun. But that's it. I never really got into it story wise, because well, it's silly. Fun game, but nothing I could take seriously. I felt that the game took itself a little too seriously at times though...

[Furore]

This.

I was able to complete both and enjoyed doing so, though I did notice it got harder for me to go back to KH after playing KH2 as the combat isn't as fluid. Though then again, that fluidness made KH2 seem a good deal easier for me then KH was and KH is easy enough as it is...

And I despise the first part of Kingdom Hearts 2 playing as Roxas, struck me as tedious and long and didn't have the story for me that made it forgivable in FFXIII. After that part though it was great.

THIS.
It killed all of the already minimal replay value of KH2. And I just couldn't stand watching what they did to Setzer... oh Setzer, how did it come down to this...

[Zidane77]

I've found it very easy to get into, i started the first one as soon as it came out and have followed the storyline since so maybe that's why.
If you go by the roots then you probably have a easier time understanding the rest (KH1,CoM).

woah woah if it was a squareenix game it would be the typical turn based game and if it was just disney it would be childish thing so in a way they had to be together because squareenix is good at putting evil ppl and sad stories and disney happy stories this makes them both compatible in a way
