Which Kingdom Hearts title do you think is the most overrated?

I said Re:Coded. For sure.

 

It saddens me that everyone hates Days. That might have a bit of annoying gameplay, but I love the storyline in it. ;-;

 

This.^

 

Days is what got me started on the series. So if I had to pick I'd say Re: Coded. I thought i'd be much better, but even on critical it's way too easy and the storyline steers off a bit.

[AnHeiressofaSOLDIER 358]

Re: Coded is my pick. Everyone says it’s so much better than Days, and that the controls are amazing, but I disagree.

 

Days actually had KH elements, mystery, and importance. Re: Coded, on the other hand, didn’t make sense realistically. It also wasn’t even that important until the ending. Also, the important things in the ending could have easily been guessed at.

 

And my gosh! I HATED some of the controls! I think some were the worst in KH history. True there were some cool things (like BbS style commands, and the Coliseum’s set up), but there was too much bad for me. Fricking Eliminators!

 

And I also hate that the only reason we didn’t get to play real Sora, is because Nomura wanted to use the KH1 outfit. Again!

 

Gah. There are too many Soras! At least Xion’s somewhat different, and slated to come back, but Data Sora, Data Riku/Jiminy’s Journal, Data Roxas, and Data Naminé are unneeded. And sadly, I grew to care about them, and am sad they’re simply ones and zeros again.

 

Data Sora was hilarious…

 

Anyway, Re: Coded is definitely overrated and unneeded. It’s pointless filler, and it adds even MORE confusion.

 

Also, I was annoyed because the trailers made me think it’d be somewhat like 3D. I thought that Mickey saying, “The day your journey began, I was here too,” was going to be really important. But in the end, he just meant that he was there with Data Sora that day in Traverse Town.

 

To me, the trailers made me feel like we were going through the digitalized worlds to uncover really important secrets in each one. Things that would connect to KH3.

 

I’d just thought that Coded would serve the purpose of 3D; I’d thought it would bridge the gap between 2 and 3 (obviously, we didn’t know about 3D at this point). I also thought we’d see the real Sora, Riku, and Kairi a little more. Like seeing them set off or something.

 

Yeah… Re: Coded was quite disappointing all around for me.

[Sora96 17,256]

Birth by Sleep because it's on the PSP.

[Silvia Kuroi 1,480]

I cant really choose here. I like them all, espaially Days, I dont care if it has a odd name. If you chose to pick it as overrated because of its name, your missing out. Days was the first time i actually played and understood the series. COM for the Gameboy was the first game i played of the KH series, but i didnt understand it. I played Re:coded and i loved it too.

 

Im one of the few people who love alot and hate little. I refuse to vote in this poll, as none of these games seem overrated to me. Thats what make the series special, not through too much advertising. It is good because it went under the radar, and those who the bought first game randomly, played it, the told the rest of the world what a wonderful game it was.

 

I really do wish to play the other games. I do. I want to play BBS for what it reveals, and KH I and II. And i dont get why people feel that Days is overrated. How? Explain to me how its overrated. Yes, it has soap opera moments, but so does BBS at times. I dont see how the controls are bad. Days was the first to innovate, with a cool multiplayer mode.

 

Im running out of time here. Im going to play the KH games i love.

[Rose Riku 39]

Can I just add that the people saying the original Kingdom Hearts is overrated are... idiots? None of the other games would exist without it.

I believe he means how people say Birth by Sleep is a lot better than the DS games, not how the game actually loads.

[Oishii 3,987]

It's a tie between (Re:)COM and Re:Coded for me. COM had a good story but the card system was just awkward to fight with. Re:Coded was the opposite. The only thing that stayed with me is how much I liked the fighting system and puzzles. But I don't really remember all that happened in the game anymore. It didn't leave a lasting impression like the other games. Hopefully KH3D will make up for this last game.

[Exlon 165]

I was also kind of wondering about Birth by Sleep. I mean, I liked it and all, but...I don't know. It didn't quite match up to the hype I'd obtained from trailers and secret endings and so on. Not sure why. It might've been because I'd read all about the plot and story on wikipedia before getting the game (I wanted to see if getting a PSP was worth it!), buuut I guess that kind of spoiled it. D'oh I don't know. >< However, I read about Chain of Memories before watching Re:CoM cutscenes, and that didn't take any fun out of it (Er...have yet to actually play it).

Even with the install data BBS does not load faster than a DS game.

[KeyOfVentus 90]

none, if anything they're all underrated. I meant the "experts" never give them more than(to my knowledge) a 3/5 (6/10) and they all seem to me to be atleast 3.5-4.5/5. I can't say days because for as many people that think it's great theres just as many that hate it. Re: Coded has better graphics than Days and was only meant to be a small bridge to KH3(well now KH3D) so the fact that the story isn't too long doesn't bother me. Plus it brings many new playing styles to KH that persoonally i thought was a good selling point and made people play a KH game in a different mindset than normal. Then COM isn't overrated, most people hate that game but it's again innovative with the playing style and let us play as Riku through a whole story, i liked it. Finally the games that either are or are equivilant to a numbered title deserve their praise, they have good story, graphics(consol considering for their cutscenes like the opening for BBS and the endings for KH1&2), and gameplay mechanics. I say praise them more.

I haven't played re:Coded. I wouldn't say its overrated. Overrated to me means a game that the people say they like that I disagree with. Yeah, official statements are one thing, but public opinion matters. It's no one's favorite, so its far from overrated if its already at the bottom of this thread's ratings. Overrated is a game everyone loves and you don't share the sentiment.

 

My vote is KH2. It lacked the emotional depth and plot of KH1 and I nearly stopped playing. Everyone seems to LOVE Organization XIII. (And they did even prior to the release of Days.) I felt they were shallow as far as enemies go and I didn't see the point of fighting them to begin with. (But most people make comment on how easily Sora was lead around with the 'look, Sora, its bad, fight it!' routine. I'm not alone in this thought.) They made a better game, graphically, with better controls, but it had no actual life to it, in my opinion.

 

Second vote goes to 358/2 Days and this has nothing to do with public opinion but from advertising prospective - you had no idea you were buying a game with such horrible controls and only a handful of actual pre-rendered video segments. It was disappointing. It brought the necessary depth into Organization XIII, so it has its saving graces. Stop for a moment and imagine a remake of this on a better handheld device or even a console. Smile over the fact this alone means the game is better both graphically, controller-wise, and with more of the scenes actually fleshed out for video. That'd be awesome, wouldn't it?

 

I don't think Chain of Memories is overrated. It's the most underrated of the entire series because most people never even knew it existed before playing KH2. It was for the Gameboy Advance. re:Chain of Memories for the PS2 may come off as 'overrated' to those of you who never played the original. It's perfectly rated and totally awesome to me, as someone who did.

 

^This. ( Yea....im not alone on this!!! )

[Aaron 579]

You have to remember guys. Recoded is useless, but they never tried to say that it wasn't, so its not really OVERrated.

 

I said days. Cause well, i really didn't enjoy playing it at all.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

I enjoyed Coded's story and what it did for the series, it just... didn't feel right.

lurved days.....just saying. Gamplay blows, sure, but the story is unparalleled.

[Master Ventus 0]

I have to say Re:coded...

it was actually kinda pointless.. :huh:

[SoraKH 793]

bbs is the best kh title of all kh series

[deathrebirthsenshi 279]

I really love all of the games, but if I had to pick one, I'd have to say days. While I do like it, I feel like there really isn't enough story (Which, based on Roxas' position, is understandable) and it gets a little monotonous. The ending made up for it though, the conclusion was pretty awesome. Also, the game was pretty easy for me even on proud mode, which is unusual for me, but maybe that's because it's on the DS. Re:Coded wasn't that hard either, unless you stay at level 15 on proud mode T-T didn't go well.

i couldnt choose so i did eeny-meeny-miny-mo !! ahaha

yeah i dont know why a lot of people kh fans hate days recoded and recom so much i bet if days and recoded had ps2 graphics and were remade like com they wouldnt hate them one thing i didnt like about days was no secret ending its the only kh game that doesnt have one nomura needs to do something about that i dont care what anyone else says but i think days and recoded should be remade for like the 3ds ps3 or something like a bundle together with better graphics and give days a secret ending sheesh doesnt have to be soon but somewhere in the future and for people that thinks recom is hard come on man do you suck that bad i beat both the english and japanese versions of that game on proud mode at the same time i played the english one first then went right into the japanese one

 

Even if they made on PS3, I wouldn't like Re:coded, high computer graphics or not.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Ehh, I don't see Days as overrated... To be honest, I don't really know people thought the gameplay was that bad... The story was also not that bad. Re:coded was worse storywise (and so was KHII in my opinion). Most overrated would be KHII (haven't played BbS, so can't say if it is as good as they say). Yeah, sure it had good gameplay, but it offered very little challenge outside of boss battles, the story wasn't paced as well as it could be and just wasn't as good as the previous games (I laugh when people say KHII was better than KHI), or the next two. Of course, Re:coded's awful story is much worse the KHII (the stories of both do still provide entertainment at least). Re:coded isn't overrated, it is rated exactly how it should be. Nice gameplay, bad story. Days I already explained (kinda...), (Re:)CoM wasn't so bad, and did have an great story. Kingdom Hearts I didn't have the best gameplay, but it certainly wasn't the worst, and the story was amazing, in my opinion the best game in the series. Birth by Sleep, like i said, I haven't played.

[darkaeroga 1]

i say kh 1 is the most overrated because nearly everybody i know praise kh1 and crap on the others

oh yeah and for you people who say recoded was worthless and overrated did you forget what the story was actually about it was to find out why the message thank nomine' was in the journal and to me it probably has 1 of the best storylines

as a matter of fact here is my most overrated list from most overrated to underrated KH1 khcom kh recom kh2 kh bbs kh recoded and finally kh 358/2 days
