After playing KH3D; do you think it was better than Birth by Sleep?

After playing KH3D; do you think it was better than Birth by Sleep?

Just good as. I liked both of them a lot. I just can't compare Dx

 

And you?

[HarLea Quinn 26,501]

No It was great but I feel like BBS was still better .

[Ultimus Grid 546]

Considering no command level ups, I say it's just as good as BBS.

[wayfinder823 477]

BBS ftw!

[FireRubies1 1,325]

Nothing beats BBS for me

 

BBS ftw!

 

Qutas suck sooo much

[WakelessDream 2,278]

There were some aspects of BBS that I was hoping to see in KH3D, even so, I just can't compare the two, both of them were great games.

[_The Door To Light_ 1,507]

They were both great, but Birth by Sleep had more mind screws and suspension.

[Spectrum of Life 188]

If not for the ability system and lack of good extra Bosses, I'd say they're equal. I'll have to say Birth By Sleep.

[Blake 776]

Their even on every plain of game reviewing. (plot, music, gameplay, fact that my system for both have been broken) I'd say they're even

BBS:

 

Pros

• Three Characters
• Compelling and moving story
• Large amount of commands
• Multiplayer that encompassed battle and two minigames
• 10 worlds
• Each character was drastically different to play as
• Shotlocks
• Great entry into the KH series
• Revealed important secrets (like the main villain)
• Established the command system

Cons

• Slowed the story
• Tedious grinding for all three characters
• Some commands were overpowered

3D

Pros

• Dive Mode was fun
• Finally moved the story further
• Flowmotion
• Commands were slightly more balanced
• Shared commands between Sora and Riku let gameplay go smoother.
• Drop Bonuses
• Dream Eaters were entertaining for gameplay and aesthetics

Cons

• Only two characters
• Confusing story for beginners in the KH series.
• Less commands
• Flowmotion may not be practical for the sequels
• Lacked command fusion
• Inability to unlock all abilities

Both were great games, but I loved Birth By Sleep more. I think the selling point was V/A/T because they provided such a contrast that Sora and Riku could not parallel.

[Gambler'sApprentice 131]

I think BBS far outstripped this game, the worlds were better, getting commands was more enjoyable, the Keybaldes were better, and the plot was deeper throughout.

[Farrac 27]

I chose 3D because...I think it is a masterpiece...but BBS sure was awesome. Still prefer KH3D but maybe because of the hype, I dont know.

[Kishira 2,854]

I love BbS, but I definatly enjoyed DDD more; I felt more emotionally invested in that story more so than BbS's, and had more fun with the gameplay. x3

[Ven983 490]

Story wise: BBS is the obvious choice

Gameplay: 3D improved upon BBS system, so obviously 3D

 

Verdict: Both excellent! But I am more of a story based person, so I would say that BBS has the upper hand for me.

[Sora_Roxas26 124]

I NEVER think a KH games is better or worse then any other KH game/s, i love both for different things, they are made differently, yet some of the same, its not comparable. just not period. but as far as i am concerned-

[Oniaku 280]

If there had been more secret bosses 3D would have beat BBS

[Silent Fantasy 43]

Story wise, 3D doesn't stand up to BBS. Gameplay wise, 3D is quite a bit better.

[PublicLibraryx 55]

50/50

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

No bbs was better in my imo.

[VanitasisKirby 1,227]

Honestly, I thought BbS was just a bit better than DDD, but they were both equally great games!!

[coolwings 1,546]

Anything is better than BBS.

[Space Cowboy 1,392]

BBS is way better imo. It actually introduced new plot elements, had better music, and made me feel accomplished when I beat it.

I don't really like DDD, simply because of the fact that it solves little to nothing. Master Xehanort is back, whoopdie firetrucking do, like I didn't know that was going to happen? If BBS could complete the Mark of Mastery exam in one cutscene, Square didn't need to make an entire game for it. Just my two cents.

[Maffy 45]

BBS all the way. BBS had a story with a start and a finish whereas 3D was a prologue that, in my opinion, wasn't rly even needed and could have been compressed in kh3. Gameplay-wise... hmmm I guess 3D since it added more things but I could care less abt the gameplay if the story doesn't satisfy me. Not that 3D was bad, just not needed.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

since Birth by Sleep had the easiest bosses in the entire series and since I thinl it's a little bit overrated.

My vote goes to KH3D

[KingdomKarts_:P 14]

All though i love both, kh 3d is a bit better cause of better gameplay and type of some hidden plot. ( Example: when you unlock a world keyhole its much more than just wakin it up ) Riku sealed a keyhole and Lea woke up. So for me goin to RoS was essential and mandatory.
