I started revisiting Kingdom hearts 2.


Kingdom hearts hot take: This one is probably the most forgettable experience in the whole series, i greatly prefer playing any of the other Kingdom hearts games over this one, it's not bad but i can't remember most of what happened in this game beyond the Final fantasy stuff.

Huh, really?

I personally thought KH2 was the only half decent one from the four games I've played.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Yeah I’m sure that’s in their power

with the power of the sponge...they have too much power

...tho I wouldn't mind being a Disney property

 

[Deleted member]

I've only played Re coded and 3 out of all the KH games, in that order.

You can imagine my confusion when I boot up Re coded and the first thing I see is ****ing Jimmy the Cricket monologuing about the events of 1 and 2

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I browsed through the anime section on Tubi, which is one of the streaming services on my TV. As it turns out, it has some of the anime I was planning to watch, like Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple and Galaxy Express 999. It also has a bunch of other things that look interesting, whether older or newer.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

-_-

Maybe we should just stop sharing hot takes if they're going to be like this.

If it makes you feel any better the section of the gamme where you team up with Auron and the scene where Sora teams up with Squall and the others and the gangs starts beating up all the heartless as Sora runs down the mountain to avenge Goofy's death are some of the best bits in the franchise imo.

 

[Wademan94]

So while I’m at a bit of a writers block with my own story, decided to warm up with some Netherrealm style intro banters for my Sonic fighting game ideas. Here’s some of the ones I’ve recently written or retouched:

Spoiler

Sonic: Say, aren’t you the one that shot me in the back with a laser?
Mephilies: I did what I needed to release the flames of Iblis.
Sonic: So you’re a fake AND a coward.

Amy: So I guess Sonic wasn’t lying about that knight stuff.
Merlina: He would’ve made a worthy King Arthur.
Amy: Which means YOU’RE the reason he missed our date!

Sonic: Hey Erazor, can I borrow that blade for a second?
Erazor: You‘re not capable of wielding a weapon like this, rat.
Sonic: I just need it to shave this huge mustache I know.

Amy: So, loser buys the other dinner?
Sonic: Amy, I know that means a date with you either way.
Amy: It was worth a shot.

Alex Kidd: Wanna settle this with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors?
Knux: Okay, but I can only do paper and rock...
Alex: Oh I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Sonic: If you’re looking for a date Rouge, afraid to say I’m not on the market.
Rouge: Don’t worry Blue, I know you’re more into the princess type.
Sonic: Can we uh...heh heh...not go there?

Sonic: Have no fear, Sonic the Hedgehog is here!
Amy: Did you just steal my favorite catchphrase?
Sonic: Sure did, you want it back?

Sticks: Don’t worry, I’ll save you from those aliens!
Whisper: You misunderstand, these Wisps are my friends.
Sticks: That’s exactly what they want you to think.

Sonic: Is it hot in here or is it just you?
Blaze: Is that just a pun or are you flirting with me?
Sonic: Depends on which option will leave me less barbecued.

Shadow: You think you know how to take me down?
Eggman: Don’t forget who’s grandfather created you!
Shadow: He only had one of his plans foiled by Sonic.

Amy: “Whatever happened to you after the Egg Carrier?”
Gamma: “I must rescue my E-Series friends.”
Amy: “After this, we’ll rescue them all together!”

Sonic: “Are you ready to start training, Cream?”
Cream: “You don’t have to hold back, Mr. Sonic!”
Sonic: “Your mom would kill me if I didn’t.”

Cream: “I wish you were my brother, Mr. Sonic.”
Sonic: “You’re already like a sister to me, Cream.”
Cream: “Aww! I think it’d be cool if you were a rabbit too.”

Tangle: “No fair Sonic! Stretchy limbs are MY thing!”
Werehog: “This happened to me way before you came along”
Tangle: “Lousy nighttime Gaia powers.”

Honey: “Oh Sonic! You’re so cute and fluffy!”
Werehog: “You better not be pulling out any cameras!”
Honey: “But I wanna make you into a plushie!”

Mephiles: “When you extinguished Solaris’s flame, I became an anomaly between timelines.”
Sonic: “It’s a shame you’re only half the god you used to be.”
Mephiles: “I’ll end this world even without Iblis.”

Shadow: “How’s the back of your head, Silver?”
Silver: “I still need to get you back for that.”
Shadow: “Let’s see you put those psychic powers to use.”

Sonic: “If you throw me against the wall ONE MORE TIME...”
Silver: “It seems your speed might be no use against my powers.”
Sonic: “That’s it, I’m kicking you back to your own time period.”

Knuckles: “I’ve been itching to take you down for a while.”
Zavok: “You cannot hope to match my strength.”
Knuckles: “I’ve plowed through stone walls stronger than you.”

Blaze: “So you must be Infinite.”
Infinite: “Indeed, another one of the blue buffoon’s friends I assume?”
Blaze: “You’ll pay for what you did to Sonic and Silver!”

Because I never played any other games before Recoded this intro cutscene had always confused me as a kid

Game also felt pretty "scary" to me too but now not so much because I've matured past that,

Imagine having Chain of memories as your first game in the series.

Like holy **** Castle oblivion radiated a creepy vibe as a kid, that plus thinking about the fact that Sora's campaign revolves entirely about the villains that arecompletely wrecking his brain to the point that by the end of the game he ends up in a coma.

For me it was really the fact I had no context that weirded me out... like why is Mickey a king all of sudden,wtf is all these bugs, stuff like that

I never even finished it either because stupid kid me got stuck iirc right after that one section with Cloud, where the entire combat changes

2012 has a place in my heart for being my starting point in the series though looking back I’m starting to see some glaring issues that start bogging it down

Think I might be leaning more towards Rise, I think it got WAY too much hate for what it was.

Seeing a good chunk of each series, I’ll say they all have its own strengths and weaknesses and all of them have silly moments. I don’t see any of them as bad and think all of them have their importance overall.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Second favourite animated TMNT

Spoiler: it's animated so it counts

Hope we get a part 2 animated, whether it follows the comic book or follows up with Joker-Shredder

I would also say my favourite comic book TMNT is the original Mirage incarnation but I haven't really read any of the other versions. The IDW comics look interesting and the Image comics would be an oddity worth checking.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Not gonna lie, i've always wanted a full Kingdom hearts game with this gameplay style, i thought the turn based dungeon crawling stuff from that chapter was pretty fun.

Yeah it was pretty sick....

until Cloud comes in and like 2 shots my entire party -_-
I'm ashamed to admit I was stuck on him for a good few hours before I finally beat him

took even longer to beat that entire section(although I managed to first try Hades)

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Don's my favorite turtle. I love how he's the intelligent, wise brother of the bunch. I relate to him in that way, especially since I'm not strong or tough in personality like Raph, nor goofy in a charming way like Mikey, nor super serious like Leo.

Was wondering where you went. Glad to see you back!

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Wait there's FOUR different versions?????

Its a franchise that's been living since May 5th 1984

Several more if you count the movies, comics, certain video games, etc.

and including that would make it such a long decision making question

2012, easy.

Though I have to admit, the 2003 theme song is a banger.

Welcome back to hell, bud.

the 2003 theme song was a mega banger once they added in the roll call

2003 TMNT all the way.

besides the last 2 seasons, the show was a rocker

2012 has a place in my heart for being my starting point in the series though looking back I’m starting to see some glaring issues that start bogging it down

Think I might be leaning more towards Rise, I think it got WAY too much hate for what it was.

Seeing a good chunk of each series, I’ll say they all have its own strengths and weaknesses and all of them have silly moments. I don’t see any of them as bad and think all of them have their importance overall.

the full on anime take from Rise was unexpected, and I'm still not too huge on certain designs, but once the (unfortunately) short main plot decided to kick off...**** was real

their Splinter definitely ended up being among the best

and yeah there are parts of 2012 that didn't grow too well (April butt shots aside...the lots and lots and lots of it...not that young me complained), but 90% of it definitely still holds up perfectly. Really the one thing that could've been changed a bit was the original finale, cause not wanting people to mess with your creation kinda doesn't mean the Turtles should end up having a ****ty life

 

[Deleted member]

I'm not really a tmnt guy but I liked 2012 for what it was.

Not really interested in the others although I have seen bits and pieces of em.

 

[Lamperouge]

My knowledge of the Turtles begins and ends with the GOAT first movie.

I would also say my favourite comic book TMNT is the original Mirage incarnation but I haven't really read any of the other versions. The IDW comics look interesting and the Image comics would be an oddity worth checking.

that glorious movie aside, the IDW comics are definitely worth reading. Has been 1/2 of an influence towards most of the current product (it's even the reason why Batman ended up having 6 crossovers with them)

Don's my favorite turtle. I love how he's the intelligent, wise brother of the bunch. I relate to him in that way, especially since I'm not strong or tough in personality like Raph, nor goofy in a charming way like Mikey, nor super serious like Leo.

Donnie is quite the player as well, and they've actually made Leo less super serious. Sure he's still mostly the serious one, Rise aside, but now he is capable of being a nerd/weeb and a bit of a lover

My knowledge of the Turtles begins and ends with the GOAT first movie.

Ninja Rap tho...better than Turtle Power

[Wademan94]

Honestly, I know we’re supposed to get a new CG Sonic show like next year but I also think the same studio and team behind Rise could make an excellent Sonic animated series.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Just found out there was a third Batman vs TMNT comic series and they go full Amalgam with it.

But instead we're getting a Sonic show MADE BY THE PEOPLE WHO MADE BEN 10 AND GENERATOR REX!!!! I am so HYPE!!!!!

It looks like it's trying to emulate 2d animation in a 3d environment, down to the lightning. Which just doesn't work that well unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

It’s sad that Jimmy Neutron, a movie and show that came out almost twenty years ago, looks better than this show does

The animation is pretty fluid I'll give em that.

The actual characters models, background, and texture details? bleh.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Also, never forget when TMNT actually had an anime (OVA).

Which includes the almighty Turtle Saint.
