AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fucking worst out of all of them considering how fucking inconsistent the combat in the game is, it’s even worse than kh3s constant experimentation with over glorified mob grinding abilities.

That being said, all of your criticisms can be retorted with "git gud". I think kh2 is a great game, and unless you "gut gud" at it, you're just going to be mashing x and triangle and get stuck on the data org.

Because I responded to your examples and they lack depth and purpose to even bother using their combat
Video game combat can’t just be stylish for the sake of style there needs to be a function for why these mechanics are used otherwise you can’t have shit like guild wars 2 mounts all having their uses for their movements than like the tasteless cosmetic mounts wow has that only exist for fashion and fashion only

>>17877As for that tales video
This is what a generic “hard” boss is like in kh2 notice the amount of timing blocking and healing going on rather than just mashing buttons together and hoping for a cool looking combo

>>17877The purpose of dmc combat is, simply: expression. You can use any number of of your tools to do effectively kill an enemy, it's about picking which tools and linking them together.
Its just a difference in style. KH2 boss fights feels more like a puzzle then a fight. DMC feels like a fighting game in practice mode. Both are valid, but I feel that kh is too samey. I unironically like the ability to switch keyblades in 3 because it alleviates some of the sameyness.

>>17878>hoping for a cool combo it's less about that. Considering tales of is a bamco title, it makes sense that some traditional fighting game mechanics got involved.
You can link a hits, cancel them into other abilities, reset them with a hard knockdown, it's very similar imo.

>>17884I think the ability to switch different weapon sets and characters gives you a lot of depth. Most people just go through the game with the least friction possible, which is generally mashing the light button or doing the glitch with dash heavy attacks. It is a flaw, I admit, but not one that you can say every arpg avoids either.
The story is still better than the combat imo.

No both the entirety of kingdom hearts and nier have god awful overconvilted stories with way to much symbolism. And yes I’ll admit that every other kh game beyond maybe birth by sleep along with nier games beyond the new one as a collective have terrible combat overall
No.17891
>>17890the original nier was bad
darkengard was awful, but I believe that to be on purpose.
I preferred the kh1 story to any of the other khs, because of how simple it was and how they tied the Disney villains into the story. now it's just a cabal of shadowy figures from a hand-held spinoff making new kinds of enemies show up in every world.
No.17892
>>17889>>17890The combat to me feels like a mechanically unrefined bayonetta with less enemy variety. I don't think the story is bad either, just a bit cliché and poorly presented. The symbolism isn't really a problem until the NPCs explain away every metaphor you come across.
The game's strongest suit is it's RPG aspects. The "open world" is designed like an RPG overworld with narrow branching paths and widely different biomes. Character building is the coolest shit I've seen in a game in a long time.

Examples of bosses in kh2 that require thinking and creative approaches to kill are

No.17961
>>17943>creative processes>Marluxiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKTM_8TqwsEI see. Dodge. Spam your regular punch-punch-kick combo. Lenient blocking that gives you a hot 2 seconds of dead-air. And triangle it up when the triangle icon closes in to AWESOME.
How much grinding impacts any of this I should also not fail to mention. Just use a healing salve, spell, or level-up. It's an rpg after-all. Furthermore the area is a boring circle. The AOE attack static. The 2nd aoe attack seems a bit more of a threat.
Also being able to restore the DEATH spell counter? Is that a FF unicum? What an anticlimax. His weird death scythe in the ground move doesn't even aim at you. Do the black holes not suck you in?
What's so great about this combat? What are the multitude of ways you can tackle this particular bossfight?
The fights in Kh2 are really nothing special my man. To tout it as the best combat when it's not even in the arpg genre.
https://youtu.be/366_lceol1M?t=632Random ass shovelware like video related have comparable bossfights to the ones you tout but I'd argue they're better, more varied, and more cinematic. Lets not start on the actual good games out there. Why pretend Kh2 is good? Why pretend any of KH before Re:MIND on PC is worth anyone's salt? I've played one-man projects with better bossfights. I implore you to expand your horizon.
No.17962
>>17961Leveling up really doesn't do much in KH2, the most accepted way to play (by gatekeeping keyboard warriors) is on the hardest difficulty at level 1.
Marluxia is a really bad example tbh, the only fight I felt like I had freedom to change up combos was on the secret boss.
No.17963
>>17962>leveling isn’t really helpfulDude you don’t have to use any specific build in the game. Want max stats go for it, want to play level one go for it, wanna do magic only guess what you can go for it. It’s actually a lot like dark souls where the games combat system slows you to use any build so long as you actually have the skill to use it properly as mentioned prior here

>best arpg
>leveling up doesn't do anything
You can't really have it both ways.
Fine. Megaman 3 has better combat than Kingdom Hearts. Try to argue me wrong. KH is a mess and removing 99% of the game doesn't make up for its lackluster bossfights that really are nothing special whatsoever. KH has no skill-shots, clunky menuing that arguably limits it in complexity. Having a cooldown bar 1-9 would give much more levy to making a mechanically complex game in which variety lends itself.
I'll believe you on the secret boss. It reminds me of home run contest. It's just a sandbag, you can tell me you're pressing any other button than a single one. To me it looks automated. You just spam a single attack, every time. (If I worded that properly) You don't even aim. In MM3 I at least have to aim.
No.17968
>>17966> no skill-slotsWhy would you want more redundant information clogging up space on the UI if you already know the keys and combos to preform skills in kh2 in the first place?
> clunky menuing that arguably limits it in complexityEh fair
> Having a cooldown barAgain redundant UI information. Everything you need to know about kh2s skills is literally posted in their descriptions and showing that information on screen at all times only makes you vulnerable to randos taking advantage of your limited vision
> To me it looks automated. You just spam a single attack, every time.No no he isn’t, and repeatedly uses different move sets to maximize damage on terra whenever it’s possible do to the bosses recovery frames and when he can’t he focuses on parrying and dodging not just mashing buttons like an idiot and dying seconds

You actually have to direct the camera and the position of your character inside the frame yourself. This is of course awkward at first.
No.17986
More ignorance. It's only redundant as in it is not utilized by the game as in it isn't there. I never said he was doing a single attack. I said he was doing a single attack, every single time. Mm3 doesn't have a lock button. You actually have to aim in that game. Not sure how that makes me retarded. mm3 is simply not only a better game, it also has better combat.
