why is no one hyping Kingdom Hearts III?

Is it because it's not exclusive? So do you think it's better to hype random 10th grade cookie cutter homogenized weeaboo crap only because it's exclusive? Or even resort to hyping Godzilla?

My God, what is happening to this place!

I'm familiar with Kingdom Hearts actually, I played it a bit on PS2 and honestly it's the only game of this kind on home consoles I'm interested in. Mainly because it doesn't take itself seriously, something most weeaboo games have massive problems with because OH MY GOD YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA kind of dramatism. Moreover I absolutely love Disney characters and thirdly it has a hack n slash combat system. I can only enjoy turn based combat in Western strategy / RPG games or Japanese SRPGs but I haven't played any of those for a very long time and I've grown out of JRPGs altogether so Kingdom Hearts seem an appealing alternative.

Anyone on board the hype train?

I think I will ask for a reviewer's copy when it's out.

No gameplay footage for starters

The latest trailer had to say "in development" at the end, because somehow that's the place we have come to with fucking SquareEnix they have to state the most obvious shit when showing their trailer, that a game is "In Development" lol you can't make their bullshit up.

Otherwise personally Kingdom Hearts is and always was lame series. The story is completely ridiculous and so fucking stupid, even in the realm of lolvideogamestories, and the gameplay? It's fucking triangle the video game. As a rpg there is nothing really to the stat based nature of the game, and as far as hitting with the key blade? It's lame and wildly inferior to so many beat-em ups of that era, and even modern ones. Even indie ones at this point.

So yeah in general: it's because people have barely anything to get hyped about besides the name of the game. Personally, because those games suck.

I think its cause of the lack of information for the game along with no release date which makes It hard to hype, I hope it turns out to be a good game though.

Are you incapable of thinking before you make a thread?

@soulitane: Why so maniacally enraged?

TBH I had made assumption there was some gameplay because last week or so I watched an episode of Major Nelson's weekly show and he would show some KH in the background so I assumed it was some recent footage. I wasn't really following the game that closely.

Please, spare me your vitriol.

There is gameplay ... it was shown at E3...

But anyway, because its probably another 2-3 years off. just like FF7 remake.

Because jrpgs are stupid and kingdom hearts is the king of stupid jrpgs

I don't think you know the definitions of the words you use.

@soulitane: A popular thing to say when you... Actually don't have anything to say.

Maybe you didn't intend it that way but I took your original reply as a highly aggressive, condescending attack.

Not really, those words don't apply to me, hence what I said. But if it makes you feel better to think I'm some seething maniac sitting at a computer, you're more than free to.

Sure I could've said it nicer but if you knew anything about the state of the game and what's been shown it's pretty obvious why no one's talking about it.

Too long to develop.

Because its multiplat and cows are still butthurt

LOL

Because we know it will take another 5 years to make.

Well KH1 & 2 I loved when I was younger but then the franchise just completely dispersed into different handhelds and the storyline become like 20 times more confusing than it already was. I just completely lost interest from there.

Because KH has always been a pile of shit. Glad more people are finally coming around to this realization.

Can't hype up a game there is no footage for and has been said to be released "eventually". Heck I think it just got an official trailer a few weeks ago. Plus honestly after playing just one of those games I'm good. Story is more confusing than on of those day time soap operas.

Its not an exclusive so there's not going to be much hype for it.

Tell me when this games is coming out and you'll have your answer. Try harder man. ..

I had created a pretty filled up hype train thread for the game back during E3 when all this new information was coming. May resurrect it once D23 happens (August 14 - 16) and possibly/probably at Tokyo Game Show (September 17 - 20) since it's confirmed to be headlining at D23, haven't seen a source yet confirm TGS.

It also has to do with what Kingdom Hearts is. There's a very excited fanbase who is greatly anticipating the game and even from the minimal trailer shown at E3 it's enough to get our fanboyism tingling, but for what seems like a majority on System Wars and plenty of others Kingdom Hearts just isn't a very good series. So when you have that mixed with little incoming information that is happening at E3, which we already had a large thread covering all that information, then we have no one hyping KH3.

Kingdom Hearts III, the game that never made it to PS3, too be continued...

I liked the E3 gameplay video. But really, it's hard to get hyped about a Square Enix game that doesn't even have a vague release period. Just "now in development". Obviously, it's now in development, or else they won't be making a video about it.

And it doesn't help that Kingdom Hearts' story has turned into a complete clusterfuck.

@Chutebox: I had already admitted I thought there was some gameplay reveal. It was an honest mistake. Why do you hate me so much?

BTW it's going to be featured during TGS so here's hoping for gameplay footage.

Because Kingdom Hearts sucks.

I couldn't care less about the series personally, but they've been working on it for too long and have way too little to show for it. It's pathetic. Square Enix's in-house development team is run by a bunch of clowns who bite off more than they can chew. I have zero confidence in their processes.

its because there is no release date

As much as i like KH , some how i can't get hyped for it even if i did get a release date and more gameplay.

@Salt_The_Fries: I didn't mention gameplay

No info on the game for me to be hyped about. I'm looking forward to hearing info about it though.

Why aren't you hyping games that are coming out this millenia?

Because it's ultra hardcore weeaboo trash.

/thread

probably for the same reason people stopped hyping FFXIII when it went multiplat

Because RR360DD is buying it

How about because the second game came out on the playstation 2 over a decade ago, and I've lost interest in the series since I'm not going to buy all the handhelds to play the ridiculous spinoff games.

Because we don't know if or when it will come out.

There is barely anything on it to be fair, once a release date is set, then the hype train can begin. Its been a long time since 2 and I dont want to start the hype train too early and risk another ff15 situation

For the same reason why people aren't hyping up Half Life 3, god knows when KH is coming out. Did you really need to ask such a dumb question, or do you not think before you post?

They had that in the very first trailer too. What an asinine thing to bitch about.

I recently tried to play the first one and it was indeed pretty shitty.

KH 2.5 on Critical mode is fun as hell though.

Because its Goofy, Mick Mouse shit.

Not a lot of footage.

Your sig is hilarious.

No one in their right mind still trusts Square these days.

In fairness, Lisa can be downright brutal to guys. Its why I shaved my spiky hair, and joined the Army. LOL

I have a couple of friends that are hyped for it. I played a bit back in the day on PS2 because I liked the inclusion of Disney characters. Maybe I'll revisit to see if I can get into them before 3 comes out.

As for why isn't it hyped? I don't know. People here like what they like, some think that makes it a fact others are missing. Good times.

Because Square-Enix is synonymous with apocalyptic long development times.

?

Why were you going crazy during E3 for two far off games like Shenmue3 and FF7 remake?

@Salt_The_Fries:

Because KH3 far off, there is hardly any information on KH3, it's a SE game and SE take forever. SE are incredibly super slooowwww with releases and people learned their lessons waiting on previous SE games. You would know this if you were an actual SE fan, but you aren't a fan of their Japanese games so now you know why. You can put the conspiracy hat back in the closet.

TBH, SquareEnix lost a lot of gamer's trust in their release dates and this was known years ago.

It's not quite as bad as waiting for an SE Game, but this is sort of like padding their HYPE lists by listing a Remedy game in lists for years after people were listing Remedy's QB game in 2013, 2014, 2015, and now 2016. Some people learned their lesson (Alan Wake 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, & 2010; QB's delays as well) and others take more time before they realize some developers are SUPER SLOW.

It's a multi-platform game with very little information and no release date or even release window, mystery solved.
