As you likely already know, the nextKingdom Heartsgame is called …Dream Drop Distance. Really, Square Enix? Just when I thought the series couldn’t get evenmorepretentious with names like358/2 DaysandBirth By Sleep, you really know it out of the park with what is both a pointlessly obtuse name and an awful attempt at wordplay.
Unfortunately, the names only speak of the content within — which has managed to become so contrived and waffling over the course of multiple spin-offs, that any interest I may have had inKingdom Hearts 3has been summarily executed by Square’s need to over-explain and over-complicate what was once a perfectly simple plot — not to mention dialog that consists of the words “heart” and “darkness” repeated roughly 150,000 times per cutscene.
Seriously,Famitsueven mentionedKingdom Hearts 3this week, and howDroopy Dog Dickswill hint toward the future sequel and … I can’t care anymore. A game I’ve wanted for years, and my energy for it has been sucked away completely.
I must, however, express just howimpressedI am by the way in which the series has been milked to death without even reaching a second sequel. All these pompous mobile releases have managed to make the series stale and meaningless beforeKingdom Hearts 3has even been officially announced. That’s a record, even by Square Enix’s standards of saturation.
