I don't think IGN has enough credibility to tell me what sucks, and what doesn't suck.

(GodHand: 3.0 anyone?)

This entire article is just a giant troll fest written by someone who has absolutely no clue and is apparently too stupid to understand the story of KH and therefore has to trash it.

Not even worth taking into account.

The only parts I agree with are that the cloning needs to stop, and inclusion of Pixar worlds.
The story is one of the series strong points, this guy is an idiot.

Ok the "cloning" can stop or "slow" down, but otherwise all the enemies and forms of them make sound philosophical sense. A heartless makes sense, a nobody makes sense, unversed make sense, dream eaters and nightmares make sense.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the story sucks, but I can sort of understand how the series has become too convoluted for its own good. There's so much emphasis put on filling the story up with mysteries. Not that I mind it much, it's just that I'd rather the developers focus on better story-telling, even if that means making the story simpler.

Everything else is lol though, especially this:

Kingdom Hearts II, while a messy, unnecessarily complex game, managed to wrap up a lot of the loose ends by way of killing all the characters who were lame. It had a real ending, the main characters got reunited, and the world was saved.

"When Dream Drop Distance comes out, Kingdom Hearts fans should be able to be excited, without having to make exceptions or defend the game to their friends. "


So they are saying we suck for liking this "crappy series" but, they also say 3D will be great. Way to be a total hypocrite in the same article.

I preeeeeeety much agree with rokudamia2. IGN doesn't have the credibility to say what sucks or not and I lost respect for them a while back. Most of this article is opinionated and non of it is a sure fire way to "improve" the series. Not to mention some of the things it's complaining about has been addressed somewhat, like hasn't Nomura been wanting Pixar is KH for some time now but hasn't been able to put it in? And didn't Disney have some sort of dispute with the family of one the voice actors for The Jungle book? I will agree though that simplicity is probably the best way to go with KH but it's too late for that. I don't find KH over complicated but you do need to pay a fair amount of attention and read the Japanese only interviews sometimes. Also aren't they the ones that wrote that one article about what they would like to see for KH3? Saying it should be darker, Sora and Kairi's romance should increase, take out Disney, and what not?

I've pretty much added IGN to my personal blacklist after their 3/10 God Hand review.

It was at least an 8/10

Killing all the lame characters? The organzation 13 is far from lame.

It only shows that it is a purely opinionated article of a little troll who doesn't have a clue, like Ruran and rokudamia already pointed out.

That thing shouldn't even be taken seriously, it's ridiculous.

This is IGN were talking about. These are the people that gave Dragin Ball Z Raging Blast 2 a 6.0 because all of the characters are not unlock from the start.

In my own world..
"We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish."

You're not saying anything. Conveying emotion (poorly by the way) is not the same as a plot. It's like Twilight for boys.
He's kidding right? Pure and utter tripe.

Lol the person who write this article is highly uninformed and disconnected from the series. Then again IGN sucks.

The Jungle Book thing makes me laugh. They obviously don't know the legal issues surrounding things in the Jungle Book, or really realize that Disney is the one that approves worlds.

What's with the Normal name beef? The trio of games we got were named as such to show they weren't numbered games (despite BBS being a main game and "KH0" but that isn't a very attractive name xD) and KH3D is a bridge game to KH3 so the irregular title actually fits it.

Wow, like...I never think about going to Kingdom Hearts yet they make it seem like fans have been begging to go to there. And we sorta did go to the man-made KH in KH2. :| I like the mystery surrounding Kingdom Hearts.

SMH.

I can understand the frustration of having game, after game, only to introduce a new mystery each time...but that is one reason why it is so f***ki*g epic! If each installment can captivate or intrigue, then I'd say it is a success.

Or rather just too stupid to interpret things, lol.

Like honorable Master Spockanort pointed out, that person is highly uninformed.

And despite not actually writing it out he just comes over as one of those heavily annoying KH 3-whiners.
