Which game do you like better? KH3D or KHBBS? (possible spoilers?)

[Shana09 5,769]

Simple question for those who have spoiled or played both: Which game do you like better?

 

For me it's KHBBS.

 

KHBSS had a much more better plot and the characters were pretty great. The story was well done and I truly loved everything about it. I actually teared up at some points of the game (did not really cry) and loved every moment of it. The music was also wonderful and beautiful. The worlds were kind of great, KH3D had better, but the worlds were good. The multiplayer system is fantastic with ad-hoc. The villains, Vanitas and Master Xehanort (also Braig but he is bleh here) were really good also! This game made everything in the series make sense (well most of it) and sometimes made some really great moments. The tragic endings were really well done even though I am saddened by that.

 

KH3D on the other hand, had great music with a good story. Even though comparing a bridge game with a main game may seem unfair, but many people DO like KH3D more. I don't think it was better than KHBBS since the only part where the storyline gotten good was at TWTNW and it was terrific. It didn't make sense at the moment but after a while it just starts to make sense.

 

 

 

Comment, discuss, tell us which one is better, flame etc.

Kh DDD, faster gameplay, cool partners, great graphics(flow motion was the best addition to any kh game).

[Gamerazor247 877]

BBS is cool B/C it intourduced the command deck combat system. It included 3 characters to play as sense the all the worlds are short. The game had multiplayer which is cool. It had NEW Keyblades and had fun entertaining Secret bosses. We got a KH BBS PSP 3000. And... um IT HAD CGI INTRO!!!

KH 3D is GREAT B/C the Flow-mo combat was fantastic, it bought back the CGI INTRO!!!

It bought back the command deck and we were able to play as Sora and Riku for the first time with NORMAL combat (Instead of pathetic card combat and 1 min battle EXP )

In my opinion KH 3D FTW =D

I though that Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (BBS) was the better game for the following reasons:

The dialogue was better in Birth by Sleep. After watching a japanese play through with translations, I thought that the English version of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream, Drop, Distance (3D) just had awful dialogue (Example is Lea in TWTNW talking with both Xigbar and Master Xehanort). Although hearing Leonard Nimoy saying darknesses over and over again in his unique voice was awesome! (As Ryan Clements said in his IGN Game Review of BBS, this led me to the conclusion that Leonard Nimoy makes for a totally badass antagonist)

Music was the hardest part and this is one of two fields in which I believe that 3D did a better job with.

Gameplay: In BBS, I thought the use of the deck commands was awesome, mostly because it was new and the use of battle styles was cool as well; 3D, the camera went crazy during several boss battles, I hated battling Rinzler upside down, and I found the Drop System was a total waste of time that could have (and should have) been done better.

Finally, story. Both games excelled in this. I disagree with anyone who calls either BBS or 3D a side game (since they both further our understanding of the events that occur in the other games). I liked being able to both drop between characters (though again, I think that the system could have been done better) and having to go between the three different story lines with three different characters.

I'd say BBS is still better than DDD in terms of gameplay and story. I hate how they didn't add the meld system from BBS. That was such a nice addition that Square added in BBS. Besides, I really hate the drop system. It's really annoying being forced to switch back and fourth between two characters. I can see why that idea was scrapped back when BBS was still in development. I much prefer to play as a character one at a time then simultaneously. And I think that BBS has a better soundtrack than DDD had. Don't get me wrong, DDD's soundtrack is great but it's just doesn't seem to impressive to me like BBS's soundtrack is. Most of the music wasn't even composed by Yoko Shimomura.

The drop system was supposed to be in BBS? Where did you hear that?

 

If it was, thank them for not putting it. It would've been a bad idea.

 

Also when I drop I forget what I was doing on the character.

 

Like when I from Sora to Riku, I forgot what I was doing in the story, and if I go back to Sora, I forget what I was doing AGAIN.

[xXVentusfanXx 33]

BBS was boring as hell playing the same stories got tedious and it was too easy for its own good also the story really wasnt all that good not saying DDD is better but still after playing NA BBS and BBSFM the game in general didnt bring a smile to my face after beating it.

KH3D because of Sora's return but KHBBS plot wise.

Well, the original idea was to have the player switch between character forcefully similiar to how Kingdom Hearts 3D forces you to switch between Sora and Riku. Though they weren't going to add the "drop" bar in it (it wouldn't really make sense to have them "drop" since they aren't in the Realm of Sleep) they were going to have a character do this scenerio of [insert said world here] and once they finsih that scenerio the game would have you move onto a different character. But that was scrapped and later changed to the player just choosing a character they want to play as. Which, in my opinion, was a smart idea.

Oh I see.

I like the current idea much better than the previous idea.

At first 3D, but in Retrospect BBS had a more interesting plot (Terra's struggle against the darkness, Vens Quest for friendship, and Aqua... anyway). It did introduce the keyblade war and the X-Blade, which are both fascinating to me. Xehanort the troll is awesome and Vanitas is one of my favorite characters. Music wise 3D wins, all the worlds have better music (except the grid), only CoD had good battle music too me. BUT, Vanitas had 3 god-like themes, Terra's theme, Another Side, Dismiss, Dark Impetus, and ALL the FM exclusives were great, but Hand to Hand, YX's theme and battle, Darkness of the unknown, Guardan nel buio (both phases), and Fragments of Sorrow the greatest KH song in any game ever! oh and 3D's stupid button dely gets on my nerves. The End.

BBS. As great as KH3D is, some parts just didn't appeal to me.

BBS. It had a much fuller story to it and more gradual development through the game. And as Shana said, it fit in pretty well with what we already knew even though it was all really new info. I kept playing KH3D expecting some really huge development that we didn't already get from the trailers (guess I can't even watch those next time), and it didn't really do that until the awesome ending with tons of new information to process (things that are hard to fit in to our accumulated knowlege, like the truth about Nobodies and hearts, or Xehanort setting everything up through time). Story-wise, the ending was the only thing worth it. The gameplay was pretty cool, as well as the worlds and music. And seeing a lot more Riku than we're used to. But I still think BBS was better overall, because of the story dev.

And let's forget about Re:coded. And I never played either version of CoM.

BBS was great, but I have to say KH3D. I would explain, but I just can't because I'd be typing forever!

[Number XV 490]

BBS. As some people said, I don't think DDD really picked up until the final world, and I didn't like the Disney interaction. It felt too rushed.

[Kishira 2,854]

Dream Drop Distance > Birth by Sleep.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Dream Drop Distance, because I couldn't play Birth by Sleep. And that is my honest answer, I can't fairly judge the two when I have actually played one and not the other. If I had to guess, I would say I would either not be able to chose, or that I would have preferred DDD's gameplay.

tutti frutti. I would have to say BBS ftw. Mostly because storywise in BBS, you were slowly revealed what was going on, what needed to be done, etc. from beginning to end, plus the story didn't really feel rushed. KH3D nothing really seemd to happen until you got to the last world. Plus, in BBS you weren't rushed in using the characters, more so with boss fight, among other lengthy fights. Also, you didn't have to rely on Dream Eater (aka Pokemon) in order to get the abilities that you may have otherwise needed at key points in the game. I just felt that BBS was more of a better game overall when compared to KH3D.

This exactly. Although the battle was pretty cool in KH3D, BBS was just better overall. I used to criticize BBS more for random things (certain voice-acting *cough cough*), and KH3D wasn't bad, but now I feel more like playing BBS again.
