Underrated and Overrated Video Games

Well for starters, 1.5 fixed the camera which was the largest issue in the game back in the earl 00s. They also made it more like KH2 from a UI standpoint, meaning the triangle button was used to open stuff. But Kingdom Hearts 1 is far and away the best one in the series with Birth By Sleep being number two. You played the first world after the tutorial bits. Kingdom Hearts 1 is a much more pure experience and the only time the game actually felt like a genuine collab effort between Disney and Final Fantasy because the game plays out like a Disney movie and the Final Fantasy bullshit bits were secondary.

The sequels went more and more into Tetsuya Nomura's baffling narrative to the point where it ruins the appeal and theme of the first game since now it's all predestiny and prophecy and garbage bad JRPG trappings with gameplay that is as uninteresting as its core cast of characters. As the series has gone on all they've done is make incremental changes to the combat system while slipping further and further away from the heart of the series.

Pun intended.

@Fabricant451

Probably the biggest downfall of Kingdom Hearts is the convoluted storyline. I mean, I believe it can be overlooked because of the gameplay (except for Chain of Memories). Even then, they really shoveled a lot of story gaps with different installments.

I just want to play Kingdom Hearts 3. Regardless if they broke Sora and turned him into God now.

Haha, "heart of the series."

The best one?

Either they broke a good game and made it into a bad, not-fun game with KH1.5 for PS3, or i'm missing something.

@Silver Carrot

I recently bought the 1.5 & 2.5 collection. With that, I beat the first game and I think it still holds up. I guess my only gripe would be the new enemies that drop specific rare items for the Ultima Weapon. Do 100 hits against an opponent for a Serenity Power? I need how many?

It's not as fast in gameplay as KH2, but not dreadfully slow.

Channel Surfers

Television is weird and oddly addicting. Well, it used to back then. Cable service is not utilized that much considering the start of streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and other video applications. Even then, people would record only certain shows or only newer episodes.

Channel suffering is dying. It did provide entertainment for those who had nothing better to do. Hell, it might even help those who do not have the luxuries of streaming services and DirecTV. Charlie Chaplin claimed television would not last long after its first debut. I think television can still hold up a bit longer.

Executive producers just need to stop pitching the same shows over and over again. They need to halt on the cancellation of very popular programmings. You guys remember Firefly? No more reality television shows that we never considered watching; I never asked for a show about Honey Boo Boo.

Despite all the crap on television and all the complaints I have, it’s still entertainment. I still find my eyes glued to the monitor. I think it’s an addiction, but little by little, tv is improving. I feel that right now, television is just on a downward slope. And I have just the procedure to make it exciting again!

“You have been invited amongst one of your friends to attend a television viewing party. The party regards the premiere of a new season of a critically acclaimed show. Multiple hashtags and pop culture references emanated from this series. Twitter blew up as fans counted the days from the hiatus. This show built up a lot of hype.

You decide to go to the series premiere. Most of the people attending are people who you have met before. Even then, you know the host. The person hosting the event always seemed a bit odd, but who isn’t weird?

Everyone communicated a bit with each other. Thirty minutes and everyone gathered around the high definition flat screen. The commercials were coming to a close and transitioned into the opening song. Unfortunately, the television immediately turned to static.
Almost all of the party-goers booed and began throwing the commemorative snacks at the screen. Some people began to whine while others sighed and thanked the Lord they decided to Tivo the episode. The silence suddenly broke when the tv acted strange. Weirdly enough, the television had a gravitational pull.

Nobody saw it coming as the pull seemed like nothing to worry about. At that exact moment, the flatscreen increased the strength. People began flying into the screen one by one. People tried holding onto the furniture, but the sofa and coffee table got sucked in as well. All throughout this madness, the host was not present.

All of the people attending became trapped in sort of a limbo world. By observing the surroundings, everyone seemed to have been transported in a bar or a saloon. No colors resided in this place -- only black and white remained.

An old television set on a wooden stage began to flicker on. The host of the party reared her ugly mug on the screen. “Hello, folks! Don’t worry, this was all planned out! I would go on a speal about the unappreciation of channeling surfing, but it’s all just a cliche. I’m not your bad guy. I’m merely a researcher.”

She clapped her hands enthusiastically. “I am bringing channeling surfing to a new level. Now then, your objective is to pass through all 101 channels. If you guys can make it through the programming, then that would be amazing. Essentially, you guys are my guinea pigs. I also wouldn’t try dying. Mainly because you kind of die as well...yeah, not so great, but I still think this is very innovative.”

What is this roleplay about?

Have you seen Fairly Oddparents Channel Chasers?

No.

How about Supernatural “Changing Channels”?

Nani?

Have you watched Sword Art Online?
I love that anime!

Sigh, yes. This is basically Sword Art Online, but channel surfing. Each level will have a theme. Whether it be a sci-fi adventure or a cheesy sitcom, players have to fight the boss or solve the problem in order to get to the next channel.

Each character will also have a power or ability of sorts depending on their favorite television show. Like a player who is a fan of The Walking Dead will have the abilities of a zombie and be powerful in horror genres.

I might set up a level system. If I do that, I will have to set a stat chart and spawn Heartless-esque tv minions.

This incomplete of course, but you get the premise and the idea. Any questions? It will help me fully polish it. Note that I might start this off in two weeks or three.

There's also no specific genre given we will be surfing through parody versions of popular television shows.

Take the personal needling out of the equation and discuss things productively or I'm not going to fool around with this any longer.

@Sherlock Holmes

I like you. You're patient and supportive of the topic at hand. Additionally, your homage to Sherlock Holmes is humorous and accurate, in the sense of an Internet forum.

As for this thread, I cannot say I have anything to add. I've read most of the comments and I do not have an original idea. Or have yet to offer anything that hasn't been said before.

Personality:

♦ Confident ♦ Sarcastic ♦ Free-Spirited ♦ Independant ♦ Aventourous ♦ Leaderly ♦ Determined ♦

Nathan likes to himself hygentically fit and healthy. He dresses as he pretends there's an audience waiting for him every day. His clothes and posture bring him confidence. The man is up for any challenge and never takes consequences into consideration.
This would be one of the setbacks of working at a funeral home. Death is around him all day. All he can do is live each moment to the fullest. Nathan's preference is to take charge and become the best. People would say he is quite competitive, but who isn't?
Nathan prides himself on his independence, but becoming a great businessman does rely on his teammates. Though bossy, he does try to point his employees in the right direction. He has a tough time deciphering between a boss and leader at times.

✔ Success
✔ Winning
✔ Cooking
✔ Movies

Dislikes (at least six):

✘ Losing
✘ Small Talk
✘ Threats
✘ Crying
✘ Heights
✘ Swimming

Hobbies:

Cooking, Drinking, Darts, and Watching Movies

Strengths (at least three):

❖ Leadership Nathan is capable of giving an excellent pep talk. He can motivate and push his teammates to victory. His passion for winning fuels him and anyone by association.
❖ Cooking Nathan does keep his cooking talents on the down low. The funeral director likes to keep his body like a temple. He chose to cook for himself once he realized how much junk he began consuming. His cooking skill has improved throughout his years.
❖ Determination The fear of failure or losing does keep Nathan on his feet. He never backs down from a challenge. His competitiveness does prove to be beneficial. This is what drove him to most of his achievements.
❖ Manipulation Nathan always keeps his attire Sunday best. He doesn't like his self-image if he doesn't sport professional wear. This does help him to smooth talk anyone in mind. With his clothes and silver tongue, he can almost get out of trouble.
❖ Movie Trivia Watching movies is a special pastime for Nathan. As a kid, he always loved going to the movie theater to catch the latest flick. Sometimes this would be his ideal date. Other times he will frequent by himself. He's picked up an irrelevant knowledge for movie trivia.

Weaknesses (at least three):

☠ Cockiness Nathan can boast a bit too much. He likes to be a sore winner and doesn't know when to stop bragging. This does turn people off from him.
☠ Risk Taker- Nathan doesn't think of the consequences before he commits to an action. This is not the safest option for him and may become his downfall in certain situations.
☠ Heights- Nathan cannot locate himself on a tall structure. He does tend to become nauseous when confronted with heights.
☠ Water- The funeral director has a knowledge gap. He cannot swim.
☠ Dress Down- Nathan refuses to ever dress down. His worst attire would be to wear a graphic t-shirt with ripped jeans and a trucker hat. Basically, anything that is not professional wear. He does not want to be seen in anything untidy.

Biography:

Nathan Newman is a successful individual who graduated with a degree in business.
He attended Stanford University for 4 years and received cum laude. Although upset from not receiving an outstanding honor, he continued his degree toward a funeral home.
Believing death is inevitable, he put his money into the business. Death all around him has made him become more appreciative of life. He lives every moment to the fullest.

Theme Song:

Busy Earnin' by Jungle

The Valvatorez Family (A Hitman Reborn RP)(Title up for discussion)

Damien stopped by the convenient vending machine located in the cafeteria. Tardiness brought many consequences. One of them caused Damien to forget a packed lunch. Sure, he could get in line and eat what the cafeteria ladies served, but most of the food remained mediocre. The teenager felt like eating something tasty or packaged. His body hurt like hell and he did not need to start feeling nauseous.

Looking at the various choices, he started to drool. Making a decision proved difficult. Damien could benefit from a bag of chips or a roll of cookies, but the snack never lasts long nor does it give a satisfying resolution to his hunger. Holding onto his growling stomach, Damien scoffed and chose the most reasonable option. His hands dug into his pocket for coins.

Inserting them one by one, he pressed the correct buttons which provided the food item to drop down in the tray box. Fishing it out, he pulled out a refrigerated sandwich. No unique qualities were on the sandwich. It was a casual bologna and cheddar hoagie. Damien figured he wouldn't have any diarrhea and he would get slightly full.

Walking outside, he began to scarf down his sandwich. When he stepped outside, he then overheard people shouting from the roof. "Pfft, freshman." He complained as he looked up.
