The only good thing about this video is that it proves that he can still pull off the voice.

A bit of voice direction and some practice and I'm back to sucking up whatever games Konami puts out after the current Pachinko crisis.

I could maybe see the argument in 2012 when the games were scattered to the four winds, but the first HD ReMix (aka compilation) came out in 2013 and as of 2017 everything is on PS4. They even are selling a $100 all in one package that has all the games and a preorder for 3. And it's not like there weren't recaps on YouTube.

As for the story itself, it's hardly that complex. Granted there are still some things unexplained, but considering that the games have not only justified why Sora starts every game at level 1 but also explained why Mickey wasn't wearing a shirt in KH1 even though he had one in the prequel (I'm not making that up), expecting that they won't make anything explicitly clear that isn't a sequel hook seems ridiculous. Say it's convoluted. Say it's poorly told. But confusing? Nah bruh.

Quote from: aspiegamer, post: 13093367, member: 11280
Having played through these sections now, it's clickbait garbage. Raz is mocked, scorned and turned down by the women he comments on (though actual punishment would have been welcomed). Later he's outright punched in the face by the victim and mocked by the entire squad for getting beat up after the ass-grabbing incident. Even the "no guy's got an ass this tight" line makes sense in context--Still entirely inappropriate, of course, but it does have context. Not that I'm condoning this kind of content be in games, but it's absolute rubbish from VG24.

I can't say I've played enough to give a proper view on any sort of overall and overtly sexist tone, but there haven't been any major red flags for me yet. I'll gladly eat crow and correct myself if the steady theme throughout changes, but the game doesn't strike me as any more or less appropriate for now. On a somewhat related note, there's a transgender group member at the start that seems represented well (so far).
Every part of this post was carefully crafted to catch maximum feels

People will tell you that you can ignore them, but literally all III is going to be is a million new characters doing things for plot devices/motivations/explanations that are explained in the spin-offs. It won't make sense if you go from 2->3.

But even worse than the jargon-babble is the sharp decline in gameplay and need to shoehorn shitty mechanics. The 3DS game + Re:Coded is actually painful to play through, and I actually enjoyed playing through Drakengard 1/3.

If you ever want to dive into the series out of curiosity, the PSP one was pretty good, and RE:CoM was actually really fun to blow through back in the day.

In fact, the PSP one is so integral to III's plot that KH nerds will spin it that it's actually your fault for having not played through the entirety of that specific portable game.

Birth By Sleep got re-released as part of Kingdom Hearts 2.5. I actually didn't mind Dream Drop Distance, but anyone saying that story makes sense is an liar. Best game with movement, even if it breaks the game immediately. Also has the best Disney world by far, Fantasia alone justifies the purchase. You can buy both KH 2.5 and KH 2.8 for cheap at this point.

Everyone that complained are fucking pussies.  Hope they don't complain about era in here cuz that would make them hypocrites.

the pictures were all tame and barely showed skin, the problematic issue is that they were all animu weeb nintard fan fiction pics.

:confused
I've played through most of those games, replayed the better ones through emu/HD collection, watched some "explanation videos" recently etc.

That series is unintelligible. Still don't know the what the fuck is going on about Xeanhort, Ansem, Xeanhort pretending to be Ansem(Or vice versa?), a masked figure pretending to be one of the two, Riku turning into a clone that resembles Ansem(or was it Xeanhort?) but it turns out he actually resembles Xeanhort(or was it Ansem?), BBS Terra fusing with the past version of Ansem/Xeanhort who time traveled from the future, Nobodies/Somebodies/Nobodies who act like Somebodies/Heartless, Kingdom Hearts itself etc.

That shit is just a fog of terms screamed in very bad writing and has an insane amount of Japanese animu cliches.

It's still a pretty good Action RPG with a lot of charm and work put into it, but it's impossible to follow the writing outside of the contained games. Even then, KH2 becomes really hard to follow after Tron... and all the other side games just expand on that weird bullshit with unanswered questions of their own.

You keep saying "or ansem?" Like it's a mystery afterwards. It isnt, straight up. It's a reveal, and then it's done.

I played KH2 when I was 14 and I understood all of it because the series is written for children even younger than that. The amount of adults that fail to understand these kid's games is actually difficult for me to fathom. Like, seriously, watch the cutscenes for these games. Every time a new plot point happens sora Donald and goofy pow wow about and restate it over and over so that little kids understand.

I feel like a Harry potter fan if the series hit it big with deathly hallows and it brought in a thousand people asking the dumbest fucking questions and saying shit like "wow who the fuck is snape and why should i care? Sirius Black? Who the fuck is that? This is IMPENETRABLE". Kh3 is like, game #8 or some shit. It's the part where everything goes down with all the characters you met so far. It's like infinity war.

It's a simple story and there really isn't much in the series that's hasn't been OVER explained (they made a game to explain why mickey lost his shirt). Seriously, there arent any plot devices that arent understood after 1 run through of any given game, because frankly in a lot of them barely anything fucking happens. Nomura is just a fucking dumbass that decided to name all of his games so badly that nobody understood what games they should play. But jesus christ almighty, do not tell me that you as an adult that does not have a deficiency related to short term memory cannot follow along.

Yeah but like, if you don't know who either character is or what their motivations are after Donald duck and goofy the dog basically look into the camera and explain it to you, i'll think you an issue processing shit.

The series is bafflingly, hilariously distinguished mentally-challenged, in the way that only the goofiest of Shonen anime are. But that's all it is, is a dumb action anime where everyone wants to become strong by fighting over the Heart mcGuffin, and it asspulls because it has to write it's way around a villain losing eight consecutive times.

I'm not saying it's anywhere near good writing, but it's really really dumb and simple on a game by game basis. It only sounds complex in the same way that summarizing the last ten years of spider-man or batman comics, or all of LOST would be. It's volume.

ReCOM blows wet chunks. The game was designed as a side scrolling beat em up and the PS2 remake disregards that in favor of a clunky frankenstein of COM's card battles with wide open areas and enemies who arent fun to engage with in 3D space.

Either watch the cutscenes on YouTube or play the GBA version, but I stopped playing it like 3 hours in because everything took an eternity.

Words can’t express how much I loved KH1 and the original release of CoM. I was a full on KH STAN. I thought they were fun as shit despite the flaws. One day my cousin and I went through almost all of KH (up to the whale level) in like one sitting. I replayed that game so much. I thought II was a massive step back. The stages in 1 were big and exploratory and in II they turned it into a hack and slash with small, short levels that were sometimes only four or five screens tops. Gone was the exploration. Getting new abilities, flying through massive levels, unlocking crap with said new abilities Metroid style made the first game fun as fuck to me. Hallowed Bastion is incredible. :lawd On top of that it had a simple, charming story and wasn’t complete batshit. None of the portable games besides BBS looked good to me and we’ve waited this entire time for KHIII so I’ve put put my KH love in the closet.

I’ll never forget the moment in 8th grade when a kid in my class wasn’t paying attention during a lecture so the teacher made him say what he was drawing to the whole class. He was writing  “Roxas + Kairi forever” the teacher also tried to make him explain it for maximum embarrassment and he said they were nicknames of his friends. That’s when I realized that adults are kinda assholes  and teachers could be bullies too.

Later in life the kids girlfriend hid a pregnancy and had her baby die during childbirth (early delivery literally in a Walmart bathroom). This kid burned the body in the woods, got caught and did some time for improper disposal of a body.

Kingdom Hearts will destroy your life.

The very first page has an obvious explanation for what/how/why/etc. that scene was included and people just refuse to accept it only to shit on Japanese people (?) because of gamergate (?).

I don't give a shit about VC tbh, but neither do most of the people in that thread getting on their soapbox.

Like benji says, this is why minorities, women and LGBTQ peeps are leaving every minute.

Am trying to figure out what the uproar is there.  The scene is army dude slapping army girl on the ass and making a sexist comment...then he gets punched out for it and the onlookers cheer her on for kicking his ass.  Are they saying that this will encourage the "touch women to get the shit beat out of them" fetish crowd or something?   

Also like the 'upskirt' part of the video in the OP is completely ignored.  :lol :doge

I think some people on era have adopted a strategy to spread as much misery as possible, cant enjoy shit while there is something wrong in the world, fuck you and fuck your escapism. Probably the main reason i could never post on a gaf or purplegaf like board again in my life, forums are escapism to me, not a battleground for culture wars or whatever the fuck.

tl;dr thank you non politics threads on the bore :rejoice

The "outrage" comes from this article: https://www.vg247.com/2018/09/25/valkyria-chronicles-4-sexual-harassment-problem/

The writer appears to have run out of things to say about the game towards the end and instead starts talking about real-world stuff:
Quote
This sort of mindset becomes even more dangerous when you consider the state of the world in 2018. While the #MeToo movement has brought attention to the injustices faced within the workplace by women at the hands of men abusing their positions of power, we are far from shifting the needle towards genuine reform. We are at a time where, in the US, politicians are running to the defence of a Supreme Court Judge accused of sexual harassment.

This situation is eerily similar to when accusations were made against another potential appointment to the court in 1991. For all the progress, we are a long way from there being any serious consequence for sexual harassment and assault by powerful men.

When you have a game like Valkyria Chronicles 4 that contains a distinct lack of condemnation or consequence for such actions, you are setting a dangerous precedent.

It normalises the idea that women are inferior to men, that they exist for male satisfaction, and that unwanted sexual contact should be welcomed and not challenged. Such portrayals make it harder for attitudes towards women to change, even with the pressure of the #MeToo movement shedding light on the issue on a global scale.

Because when I think "Valkyria Chronicles," I think Clarence Thomas...?  ???  Oh wait, must be really similar.  I forgot that Clarence grabbed Anita's ass and then she decked him and the two got into a brawl afterwards in front of the court.  :doge

Correct me if I'm wrong but Valkyria Chronicles never sold very well, right? I remember the first being a legendary bomb.

Must have done decently enough to warrant them localizing VC2, VC Remastered, that shitty action-RPG spin-off, and now this game.

"Turn off adblock" lol no, fuck off.

LOL, yeah- I'm using Firefox and just toggled reader view to skip past that shit.

How does it do that when the guy gets fucking clocked? The article is really just trying way too hard.

The Steam port of VC1 sold like a mil. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a stark increase of sexual assault straight after  :drudge

Reading through that thread more I've finally understood this dumb feeling I always get from ERA threads, it's essentially a forum filled with moms.

It's simple.  Watch video of segment or play game right up until the ass is grabbed, then immediately stop and don't watch the outcome, instead going online to furiously type out an article about it.

They put VC on Steam a few years back and became a total sleeper hit which then made it popular enough for Sega to give the series another shot. Before this the series was in localization hell.

Ask them why I was perma banned while you’re at it. I was not trolling in my discussion. I gave a snarky reply to stinkles.

ERA blows. Can’t wait to see your site burn down within two years.
