I was originally gonna cut the intro due to copyright but it turned out I got dinged for copyright in a bunch of other places as well so I said fuck it i'll leave it in
I started playing this because I saw you playing it, and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's way better than people make it out to be, in my opinion.
Sora Moto sending pink haired Bakura to the shadow realm is an AMAZING thumbnail 😂 and against my better judgement this has inspired me to give this game another try. Looking forward to more KH content ❤
Looked like you had some fun with it. But if you’re not gonna finish it, I get it. I’d say just look up the cut scenes. But I like the thumbnail and it was good to watch.
It can be more fun if you think of it like a real time turn based combat but I just enjoy it in general beaten it on gba, ps2, ps3, ps4, and pc
im watching this and hope that ray learns eventually that the prime cards are super sick and op, it sucks he got that misinformation.
Premium cards make the cards way cheaper and are reloadable, essentially you want as many premium cards as possible
Hikaru Utada was producing Bangers for KH music.
Honestly loved this video, watching Ray successfully play this game is just amazing! 10 year old me with the GBA version could never!!
So I first played this back when it came out for gba. I was in high school. For whatever reason I only finished Sora's story though. Then I tried it again when this version came out and I just couldn't get in to it. Then this year I 100% it and got all the achievements haha but you're right once you get the hang of the combat and what decks to make, it's not that bad. Very satisfying 100% imo tho, only slightly annoying. Getting to 99 with both characters was most tedious. Would love to see you finish it
I want a print or card of that thumbnail
I played this game when I was really young, like I wanna say 8 or 9, and it was my first ever Kingdom Hearts game. I hated it. I got a bit further in than you did, I got to the Marluxia boss fight, and I got so infuriated at some point, I just gave up. At that age, I never just gave up in a game, I always beat my games. Not this one.
Man, this is some nostalgia. I LOVED this game. As I recall, the use for premium cards is that you just make your low-number cards into premiums, then use them as Sleight starters. If you use them to start a sleight, it doesn't matter that they don't come back. The upside to premium cards is that they cost fewer Card points to add to your deck, so you can absolutely stack your deck with low-value sleight starters.
Ray mentioning he didn’t like prey, he didn’t like it the first time he tried it….. lol, I’ll be honest he might like the og prey though, cause it’s less of a messy story gameplay thing like the new prey is. Og prey is really dark and cool!
( so like just by watching, slights are not that good as they eat a card, but if you make the first card a primed card then you’ll use a cheaper one use card that could be more powerful enhancing the slight. Also Ray should really be using hero’s in combos more so he can guarantee they don’t break unless a 0 is used. Combos just use more cards but don’t destroy card while adding higher number value to the used cards by combining them. He does use combos but then never with the yellow sword at the end for the better dmg. )
HONESTLY really cool deck builder inside an awkward camera dodge and combat system. There’s so much going on and the story isn’t that good ( the video cutscenes are interesting but the gameplay with story in it is bad. ) I see why they never made another one of these games.
Hope you keep playing and we get part 2 ❤ game gets lots of hate but only 8% of ppl have really given it a shot, I had the chanse to play the GBA version and the re:chain, both are solid but GBA is the best my bad opinion
"My pathetic grandfather has no cards Marluxia. But it does have, the unstoppable Goofy Tornado!"
Thank you for leaving in the Riley appearance!!!
Would love to see more Kingdom Hearts in general on the channel. I'm excited to watch you play this, but even more if you will playing KH2 <3
chain of memories not bad, story is pretty good but hey hit up that kh 2
highkey hoping you play all of this. the KH series is one of my faves and while it can be somewhat annoying sometimes, it's def fun to watch you meme some of it lol
What a great reminder of how trash this combat system was.
i think i played this enough to get to the mages where they kept breaking my cards not letting me hit them and i said fuck it and closed it out
I love this Let’s PLAY! Keep playing this game!
My buddy and I never played Kingdom Hearts as kids, so the other year we decided to play through this exact xbox pack. He played KH1, and then myself the next game, and the pattern repeated. Did I beat chain of memories? Yes. Do I despise card games and their mechanics? Also yes. Finishing this game was an amazing accomplishment that I hope to never again repeat. Playing this all the way through was like serving some kind of penance. I've achieved success, but at what cost.
Chain of Memories (GBA) was the first KH game I owned, just not the first one played.
Personally, the card system is something I wish we saw in more games, I loved it. However, it didn't translate very well to PS2 in my opinion. Still, I don't think it's a bad game.
Cloud is VERY GOOD when you stack 3 of him!
SO, I'm the same age as Ray. I played one, COMPLETELY skipped CoM, Played two and was lost for maybe 20 minutes in KH2. Waited a decade and then finally played the Re:CoM and I was blown away with how easy the game actually is in when you cheese certain aspects of it. Watching my favorite streamer play it and enjoy it was def vindicating as we approach it finally being released on STEAM.
I remember the day I platinumed this game on the PS4, I didn't COMPLETELY hate life, but grinding out enemy cards was lethal
Next to Final Fantasy 2, and Legend of Zelda 2, this is one of the worst games I've ever played.
nothing beats FF2, but this is a close second place.
This was originally the first KH game I played. So I got a double whammy of not understanding how to play and not having a clue what was going on. (I did get past floor 1 though lol). I wasn't until I was an adult and had played a bunch of the other games that I went back and beat this. (I still need to beat Riku's story and platinum it, but I at least beat it once and conquered a childhood demon.) Now watching it I kind of want to play it again.
Admittedly, Cloud is really hard to use at first, but if you can stack up three high level Clouds for Omnislash, it's basically free damage… at least until the boss drops a zero.
just thought id point out that this game having rare achievements doesnt indicate a lack of people playing it, theres a lot rare achievements. a side effect of putting it on gamepass
For anyone considering this game, there is a cheese you unlock around level 30. And if you spam it, it kills everything except for the final boss.
I hope you continue!
I wish Ray would continue to play this. It made me want to play it again. But most likely it won't happen 😢
I hope this Thumbnail is offered as a print so bad
Hey Ray, enjoyed watching this one. Watched it in parts, slowly. But i got there. Would be fantastic if you were to continue playing.
I found the 2nd half of the game to be easier. Not needing to construct a deck and just use what you are given isn't bad at all.
I beat the GBA version when I was a kid. Had a friend who was playing it at the same time as me. Good times.
I'm glad to see you giving another kingdom heartd game a chance!! I desperately hope you'll play kingdom hearts 2, it's a very special game
