So I just found out that Doug is apparently reviewing
Kingdom Hearts for Disneycember which is something I thought he would never do but it only took him what 15 years to finally get around to it (and unfortunately it had to be when I stopped giving a shit about him and his content)
I will say I’m intrigued but all worried about him finally talking about KH mainly because it looks like he is only talking about 1, 2, and 3 and let’s just say you’re not gonna understand a lot of what’s going on if you just skip over the other games. I mean yes they tell their stories out of order and it tends to be a bit complicated at times but even then if you enjoy the franchise then I feel like it’s important (not to mention Doug is missing out on all the new worlds that were added to Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance)
Basically what I’m saying is I don’t want him criticizing the game for the wrong reasons.
With that said Doug’s review of KH1 is fine, he makes some good points about the story, visuals, and gameplay; and while I do agree the controls can be a little wonky even on a newer console he should keep in mind this came out on PS2 and was the first KH game ever made so there are gonna be some problems with the platforming and whatnot (Nomura wanted to make something that could rival Super Mario 64 after all)
One last thing I wanted to say is I understand that Doug is not a gamer or at least not a hardcore gamer so I get his frustration with JRPGs, which disappoints me because this means Doug will never play games like Earthbound, Final Fantasy VII , Persona 5, or any number of Pokemon titles.
