I didn't like Kingdom Hearts 1, loved Chain of Memories (the real, original release)...which is the only Kingdom Hearts game whose gameplay I actually liked. Liked 2 quite a lot, but much more for the story than the gamplay. Now I'm starting Birth by Sleep, and...
Maybe I'm missing something that makes the combat in this way easier, but I've gotten stuck on the 'normal' difficulty with the first boss of the first world! Even aside from the IMO extreme difficulty, the basic gameplay just does nothing for me. It's all just spastic wacking at enemies, and the camera's not great here either. Not a fan of the upgrade system at all so far, nor the way special moves work...just basically nothing at all about the gameplay. 2 wasn't great in that regard, but it wasn't crazy hard, and somehow...I don't know, just felt/worked better than this, even while not being that great either.
Like the earlier games, I like the story so far a lot. The whole thing is insane, and I kind of can't believe they make something based on this concept so complicated, but hey, it's pretty compelling to me.
But the gameplay.... I guess tomorrow I'm restarting it on the easy difficulty, which unfortunately locks out the true ending.
