KH General Chat

But the whole game isn't, doesn't really mean 2 is better

[Firaga13 3]

I never stick to my opinions so I’m definitely not based

[Estoria#4001 19]

I'll agree with you on that Nova, mainly because gameplay goes beyond just pure combat and also involves other key components like movement and world design

[Novayon 192]

Yeah

A lot of the time people mean gameplay = combat

Which is fine but I prefer to use it to mean any gameplay mechanics

[Firaga13 3]

There’s just something weird about KH1 walk/jump animations

I’m not sure what it is really

[Estoria#4001 19]

To be fair Nova, who can blame people for thinking that way in a post-KH2 society

[Novayon 192]

Base kh1 jump Sora splays his legs out like a frog and it can feel pretty weird when you're not used to it

Yeah true Esto

Usually you can tell the context

[Firaga13 3]

KH1’s Hollow Bastion is pretty cool

I terms of game design

[Estoria#4001 19]

Hollow Bastion is amazing

The atmosphere is nailed down to a T and I've rarely ever seen a place that really made me feel like I'm breaking in like HB did

Not something I had seen since Grunty Industries in Banjo-Tooie

[Novayon 192]

They really make it feel huge despite the technology at the time

Not only though visual indicators but with connective rooms

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yup. Despite it being annoying sometimes, the fact that when you fall from the tower you go to the lower section next to the basement rather than just falling into a bottomless pit was something I always found cool.

[Novayon 192]

That's really cool for sure

It's all so cleverly put together

Like the lift stop being one huge room that you consistently pass though to give you a sense of scale and progress

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, and also hitting the switches to get the lift to go different places.

[Novayon 192]

That one switch half way up the castle that changes the direction of the lift that goes from the library to the top

One of my favourite puzzles, it's so cool when you first worked it out

[Estoria#4001 19]

It's like something straight out of a Zelda dungeon

[Otti#8624 26]

Except that one stupid puzzle that can't be solved

I spent ages down there trying to find a way and I gave up and searched it up

[Estoria#4001 19]

[Otti#8624 26]

Turns out there's nothing there

[Estoria#4001 19]

Yeah, that was just nasty

I wish they had changed it for 1.5

But oh well

Also isn't there a chest in the room next to the portal in the basement where you can see a chest you can't actually get to?

[Novayon 192]

Hmm

[Otti#8624 26]

Don't remember that one

[Novayon 192]

Idk if that's the one you can get from the big area you get to from the lift stop

Actually I might play some kh2 today so I can go on kh1 and have a look in a sec

[Estoria#4001 19]

Alright

[Otti#8624 26]

You haven't finished KH2 yet?

[Estoria#4001 19]

Also can I just say how BADDASS it is that Beast is just there in the world and joins you

That's something that Disney definitely wouldn't allow today
