    I loved the first kingodm hearts, really enjoyed he playthrough.

    Never bothered with any sequals though, i missed the GBA game when it first came out and figured i wouldnt know what was going on if i played KH 2 then

    Kingdom Hearts 1 is great because it's story is almost non existent.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,404 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Was listening to Roleplayers Realm the other day and Kat wanted to do a KH podcast. She was only able to find one person that liked the series and even they admitted that the Kingdom Hearts series has far and away the worst storyline of any videogame ever. After KH1 just forget about the story and enjoy the game because it's absolute nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭megaten


    Yeah to be fair KH 2 has really good fighting. I liked how they had a normal attack button and a contextual attack button instead of qte's

    KH2 from what little I played was way too easy, you can beat it just mashing X. Must go back and play to finish it. The first game seemed better to me because it was really challenging.

    Nice, but the Snes game was so much better, no? I loved it back in the day, Busters Busts Loose, a perfect platformer, a really nice licence from an age of really pants licences!

    Lost Vikings 2: Norse by Norsewest
    Also want to play Nightmare creatures for PS1 again as I cant remember if it sucked or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,328 ✭✭✭Pyongyang


    Iridion II though i think I want to buy a GB Micro now as I hate how the carts stick out of a DS Lite.

    Also playing DoDonpachi Resurrection and Deathsmiles on my iPad.

    Don't have a GB Micro, come on thats the most necessary console ever, the minute size of it allows sneaky gaming everywhere, also the added bonus of looking úber cool playing it

    still panging away. The game that you can easily play in real life. All you need is a grappling gun and a kids birthday party.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,912 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Playing Marvel vs Capcom 3 on the 360.

    Must say its a lot better than I thought it would be and definitely worth a look.

    Picked it up new in HMV on Henry st for €19.99 yesterday along with King of Fighters XII for 11.99, so that was alright.

    Do they have any more copies of King of Fighters XII going? Ever since I got a YLOD a couple of years back I've been afraid to sink any money into
    a PS3, but for 12 yoyos, why not? The game's a bit bare, but it's gorgeous from what I've seen, and it's still King of Fighters, which is A+.

    Anyways, at the moment, I'm alternating between King of Fighters '99 Dream Match through to King of Fighters 2002 on the Dreamcast, a bit of Garou and Capcom vs SNK 2 thrown in, with just a dash of Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door.

    Maybe hold out for KoF13 which id out soon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    October, and full price. Rather wait it out for a drop and sink some time in 12.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭unky chop chop


    Looking forward to new KOF.
    I'm really getting in to neo geo fighters recently after giving them a wide birth for many years.
    Mark of the wolf is top for me..followed by KOF 98.
    Dabbling in the last blade series too.Top notch stuff

    Not sure if the have any more copies, I'd say they do as it was new and not second hand. So that price for a new one was well worth it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,912 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Playing Ōkami on PS2, well on my PS3 as the PS2 died a death and needs replacing.

    Liking the game a lot and the visual style is great.

    If you don't have this game grab it while they have them in stock on Amazon and at such cheap price.

    The Dungeon man in Earthbound is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen in a video game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,030 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    Is this your first playthrough? If so, buckle the **** up. Do you own an actual copy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭megaten


    First Playthrough. I'm playing using my Caanoo. It's very good. Though I think I prefer Mother 1 so far.

    Dungeon is great, fantastic take off of RPG dungeon design. I love the way it takes a swipe at RPG tropes and yet embraces them by being so similar to Dragon Quest.
