I'll get one during the summer.

 

Ill pick it up this weekend. Platinum here we come!

 

Thought you said fall just yesterday lol.

 

in California September is still summer.

 

Yep

 

I don't remember you saying September haha. It's hot here the first half of September

 

Just died for the first time. Ran into an area with four guys and got destroyed, haha.

 

Yeah same with me lol. I kept pressing O instead of X

 

that's why I was trying to manuever around it by saying fall and summer are the same thing here.

PAY ATTENTION SANCHEZ.

 

I was paying attention to the technical definition of fall :-D

 

Are you past the London Tower part, and to the island or on the tutorial part before the island? I beat the London Tower, and chose my starting weapons/pet. Then I did the tutorial, but had to quit to eat dinner last night. Hopefully it saved my progress or at the very worst I just have to start the tutorial over.

 

How hard would you say it is? Maybe the demo was just jacked up in difficulty

 

Not hard, but again I'm used to Souls-Borne games

 

The dodge button is your friend.

 

I'm in the area past the Tower/tutorial, this is definitely much easier than the beta I played last summer.

 

Well shit, now I want to get.

 

Yeah I'm at the first real area and it's definitely easier than a souls game so far as long as you don't loose your stamina.

 

Even as a Souls veteran I was getting destroyed pretty frequently to the point where I wasn't having much fun (and wrote off the game entirely until the glowing reviews this past week). I've been progressing nicely so far in the proper game.

 

going to spend the day finding all the loot boxes now that I have them unlocked on the map.

I already got my podcasts lined up and this should be a fun time killer.

As a person that has never played the Kingdom Hearts games, why are they numbered oddly and what would be the first game?

 

lol

As of May 2nd, 2016, this is the chronological order in which the games take place. Credit goes to the Kingdom Hearts Wikia Timeline article. I'll link to the each of the games on the wiki for reference, but if you haven't played them, I'd recommend not clicking these links.

I'm going to divide this into 2 parts: chronological order in which the events in the stories/games occurred and a recommended playing order in order to understand the stories (as best as the KH storyline as a whole can be understood at least... it's... confusing).

Chronological Order

1. Kingdom Hearts (Unchained) χ (Web Browser, Mobile) is the prequel to the Kingdom Hearts series as a whole, set 100 years before the events of Kingdom Hearts.
2. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (Playstation Portable) comes next in the timelines, excluding portions of its secret ending, Blank Points.
3. Kingdom Hearts (Playstation 2) aka KH1.
   • Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Nintendo DS, pronounced "three-five-eight days over two"). Days 1-24 take place at the same time as the finale of Kingdom Hearts.
4. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (Game Boy Advance) aka KH:CoM. Since been rereleased as Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories for PS2.
   • Days 25-27 of KH:358/2 take place at the same time as Chain of Memories.
5. While not a separate game, days 28-358 of KH:358/2 take place here in the timeline
6. Kingdom Hearts II (PS2) aka KH2.
7. Kingdom Hearts coded. Takes place between the ending of KH2 and KH2's epilogue. This was released as a mobile phone puzzle game in Japan only. It's since been rereleased for the NA and EU territories as Kingdom Hearts Re:coded on Nintendo DS.
8. Blank Points. This is Birth By Sleep's secret ending. It goes from the end of BBS to some time after Signs of What's Next, the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. The secret ending apparently has spoilers for Birth by Sleep, which is why the final episode for Re:coded wasn't released until after Birth by Sleep.
9. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (Nintendo 3DS) It's set after the events of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded.
10. Kingdom Hearts III (Officially announced for Playstation 4 and Xbox One). Officially in development. We may still end up with more games in between before it is released.

Recommended Playing Order (Pre-September 2013. See Alternate Order as of 2014 below)

1. Kingdom Hearts (PS2). Obviously. This is where you'll get the very basis of the story and the heart (no pun intended) of the conflicts. The first "main" game in the story.
2. Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (PS2, only available for Japan and NA). Alternatively, you could play the original GBA version, which was 2D gameplay, but the PS2 rerelease is full 3D, like KH1 and 2, and also has voice-acted FMVs. It uses a card/deck system for fighting, which is different from the action RPG stylings of 1 and 2, but I still found it quite fun.
3. Kingdom Hearts II (PS2). The second "main" game in the story. You pretty much have to play this in order to understand the stories of the prequels/sequels/sidequels/whatever.
4. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 (Nintendo DS). Considering the heavy tie-ins with the two main games and CoM, it's best to play this one after them. It's generally considered the weakest game, both story and gameplay-wise by the fanbase, as its plot twist is kind of... weird, but if you want to know everything in lore, I wouldn't really consider it a waste of time, though of course, your mileage may vary. Probably the most skippable if you just want to read a wiki entry on its plot.
5. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP). This is a prequel, with different characters than the main game (mostly), and is, in my opinion, a must play. Aside from a lot of important story elements, the gameplay is simply fantastic (though I haven't completed yet due to gaming ADD). Despite it being a prequel to the series, I would not advise starting with it, as many of the references and tie-ins to the other games' plots would simply not register.
6. Kingdom Hearts Re:coded (Nintendo DS). Though it takes place during KH2's epilogue, because of its secret ending heavily tying into Birth by Sleep's, it's recommended to play this one after that game. I haven't gotten my hands on this one yet, as it was only released in January 2011.
7. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (Nintendo 3DS). Taking place after Re:coded, this is where it fits in.

 

UHHHHHHHHHH...

 

YOU ASKED

 

Suffice to say, they don't make it easier for someone to "jump in".
