I feel your pain... however there is a necessity of "exclusive games/content" , why would some one buy a nintendo console whithout : Mario, Zelda, Pokemon? The same here applys! The exclusive content is what make us custumers to chose a console over another (as the majority of people can't afford mutiple consoles, not to mention controlers and new games all very expensive!). Square enix is a major Japonise producer, in Japan Xbox is the last sold console, Ps3 and Nintendos are kings in there, so It makes sense to them chose one of them to make games. Multiplataform games have a HUGE problem, as You may or may not know Ps3 programing is waaaay harder than Wii and Xbox 360, generaly a game is made for one of these and than adapted to the other... and there is a catch in it, normaly the "adapted" version is lamer than the "original" (someone remembers Bayoneta?). I just think that square enix did a serious mistake abandoning the Ps3 in favor of Nintendo 3ds/Ds as, the fandom were born in Playstation system to change it like this was a punch in the stomach! When you make something you become responsible for it! There was a spectation of the KH players that KH would stick in Playstation, I don't know how things are in japan, maybe everybody in there got both a ps3 and a Nintendo ds.. but it's not the case for most of the world. Yet, the games that leaft Playstation are in their escensse "side games" and not truthly necessary to understanding the plot.. so they're somewhat excused.. They could have made the same **** that the folks over bethesda did... they launched Skyrim for ps3/Xbox360/Pc and then they said "We will not launch the Dlcs for ps3, as it is to hard D:". That sure was lame! A problem of multiplataform yes... but it is not a excuse, they have a responsability to us ps3 gamers if they chosed to launched skyrim on it.
Even if it's exclusive to Japan (i doubt it) there's just one game to my knowledge that has region restriction, so we should be fine playing it .. though it'll suck a bit not to have english menus... we do remember most of the gameplay to not be completely lost. I think that Square lost a big oportunity in Ps3, If they showed previous interest in it, they could "end" the Remixes and just sell one game, and after launch DLCs .. the destribuction cost would be minimal and whoever want it would download it and pay for it.. they probably would make more money than in Cds as downloadable content has a limit o sharing and CD dont.
They should just give 20$ to each 100$ there is nothing stoping anyone to make multiple accs and spend 100 in each...
I think It's pretty obvious that they'll launch a KH 2.5 HD remix (the only reason to not do it, would be if 1.5 do a creepy selling, but I guess is safe to assume that it will be a good seller). Yet, I don't think Bbs will be included in 2.5, If you notice 1.5 is because you got KH1, and the "post game" that would be chain and 358/2 days. When 2.5 is out, it'll probably cover the games post KHII like Re:coded, and 3D (I didn't play it, but the Ps3 system do have a 3d capacity, so there shouldn't have much problems converting... or they could improve the game play like they did on Chain remake). I also think there's no problem to make a PSP game into a PS3 game, they already did it ( ****** job) on GOW series, sure they just put the game as it were in the psp, you even "enlarge" the picture to adapt to your screen size. Psp and Ps3 always had a symbiotic nature and if you have both you could play a game in one or another (like the WiiU does now) , however not many people did it. I think that Bbs should be launched in another pack, maybe Kingdom Hearts 0,5 HD , and thus containg Birth By Sleep one and two (not lauched yet). As Bbs should be alongside with 1.5 and is not, the best option is to Launch another pack previous to this one (Kingdom Hearts zero would be cool also), they could have separated the games by the "intro song" the games closest to 1 have the first opening (bbs included) and the ones closest to the second got Sanctuary, but I guess is a far fetch as Days got Sanctuary opening also.
Don't change the fact that it'll make me very sad if Ps3 dies and KH3 skips this generation :( I don't think that there is just one team at square enix (sleeping dogs must be done by other group, not the same of KH). I don't really know how many projects a group is tasked with, but I guess there is some "unity" that only makes KHs game.. With that in mind is just so teasing of them to launch more games for Nintendo portables than for Playstation consoles :(.. oh well I guess I'll wait, but they could have launched all the games already just for us to Know that they'll continue to launch in Ps3 still. As for opportunities I think they've missed a big one with Ps3, being a new console with a Network with it, they could for the first time launch games like the remix in the western, and than we could download a language pack.. as most games of Ps3 don't receive a region block , unlike Ps2.
All the games that don't go to the main console (and thus don't receive a number) are "spin-offs" or "side stories". They do add a lot of info and backstory, and nowdays with so many "side games" there must be more story in the "side games" than in the main games. While Chain of memories, Birth By Sleep (this is a spin off, as it doesnt show the story of Sora) and 3D are the game with most content (maybe because they follow the actual main players Sora, and Riku, and not nerfd versions of them, or other people). Even though they are quite dense, Square enix ALWAYS devise some plot twist so that "Sora finishes the game just as he started so that you can get the story only through the main story". Exemple: In chain of memories Sora loses his memory, thus becoming "Sora from Kh1" all important things of chain are back at KH II, so you don't need to play it to understand. BBs is great all that story that we didn't know, and characters that we've only dreamed of... and yet it was not directly "Sora's plot" and as Sora is unware of everything that happens, all the important things will be reveled to him again in other games. Spoiler 3D.. we start with a latter, and the mission to overcome the big bad wolf (Xenoheart), we finish the game, we do not become masters keyblade, and Xenoheart is undeafted, so all the "real plot" will walk still even though the plot got more dense.
It is strange to make a "exclusive" game of games that are already at all the other plataforms ... so whatever, maybe they put a ribbon on it.
It could be worse, they could put the new game (or even worse KHIII) at Xbox just to make the fans go crazy (If the Nintendos' game wasnt enough). Still For a game born in japan there are to ways possible Nintendo or Ps3, Xbox is a plus... but developers that make Ps3 games don't like to do "multiplataforms" it seems to me that the programing of the Ps3 is waaaay different than Xbox, that makes games that were originaly from one don't work proply in the other. It's better that they maintain it exclusive if it is for the quality, better than what Batheseda is doing over SKYRIM, lauched the game for Xbox/Pc/Ps3 and now gave up lauching the DLCs for the Ps3, saying "that is too hard". If you are going to make a ****** job, don't do it! And we have to defend the "exclusive content" in a way they are the things that makes us choose a plataform or another.
The games are made already, the graphics don't seem better than they were. They could do one or both of these: 1)Launch ALL the KH already! This version is great, but most of them were already at console(ps2), the ones we thrive for the most are the one stuck in other consoles like Re:Coded (not so much storywise), 3D, Days... they could even do a bundle for playing the game multiplayer using the PSN. 2) Do KHIII already ç.ç! Ps3 is out there for 6 years already, they had enough time to make a game from zero, even though playing the old games with trophy support will be great we still want all the new plot! It seams to me a little pushing make 2 remakes of a game to profit even more.
Days is a special case, first part of the game happens parallel to KH1, because the *thing* that makes Roxas birth occurs in KH 1. But most of Days is parallel to Chain Of memories , and a little after so It's better storywise to play days after Chain, because it's story only really begins to unfold when chain is over and Roxas "wakes up from his sleep". I would stick to your list.
I realy thought It would be a good game, but when I played the demo I lost all the interrest ... almost no choice but to tap the exact buttons that apear on screen.
Sony are you trying to make us stop gaming in next generation? First that bullshiet of locking a game to a console, so no rent, no borrow, no re-selling games... and now we'll pay a rip-off, be stuck with it, and be stoped for ads? If any console doesnt do that the one who do it will be ****ed! And as they did a patent they'll be the only ones doing.. sure that my money is most likely not going to sony now... it is a shame I've always played sony's playstation.
Childreen are picky.. they can eat strange things there are phases... I remmeber that for one weak I lived on cookies. It is great that your niece likes vegetables, but you should be aware that she is eating a balande diet, there are a couple of vitemins that Vegans need to get from suplies.
AWESOME >(! Defenitly gonna buy it
AWESOME >(! I would love to have a 3ds.
LOL great!
If someone becomes vegetarian/vegan/etc for health propourses, or even to lose weight, I can respect... What I find a pain in the ass is that people that are brainwashed to be Vegan/Vegetarian/etc... and that brainwash others to be, and start that speach of "My way is better then yours" like it was some kind of cult. It is hipochrasy and mostly a pain... It gives me more desire for meat every time I hear such speach just to think "at least I am not a duchbag like this guy". For me ir would be a problem to to such diet... for this to work out you need first: 1)Money 2) Know how to cook, have some one to cook for you your vegetarian things. Vegetarian dishes CAN be good, but that is way harder to do than meat, especialy if you want to make a healthy dish (no french fries). If I had access to those I could give it a try even though I love meat.
As most of people nowdays I have bad visions against incest... And yet I should recongnize that all this is just a fabrication of the catholic church, Saint Augstine mostly. The idea was to force people to get married with people that are at least 5 "levels" of parantege away.. the problem is that almost no one nearby was this much no related as people lived in feuds in medieval times... If the church should consider your marridge "incestous" all your children would be *******s and would have no claim to whatever lands you possesed so the church could take it back after you've died and the children would have to buy it back (if they could). But incest was very present in many cultures, the egiptians married betwen brothers and sisters, all the royal families in europ are related, the russian's royal family had a mutation that runned in the family and it is easy to identify if a body is a true romanov or not by genetics... Back to europ we can see here how Hemophilia runned in the royal families because they were deaply related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia_in_European_royalty Even though that was a plot done by the church we were luky that they did it, as we know now of the problems of having incetous children (mutations) but they are not that commom as the tv makes us belive.. but if everybody started to have children whithin their familys all their recessive gens whould stock up and a lot of genetics conditions would apear in the next generation. With that in mind be free to do what you like, but think twice before having children.
17 I missed some realy new like the Emperor's new groove.. Jungle Book came here just as "Mogli the wolf kid" so I didn't get it even though i knew ;( the others I don't know.
As I've always found Deep Jungles the most anoying world so far I am not bother by the lack of deep jungles in all the games since... But I'll agree that they could have put in just to be more like KH 1...
