KH1 had an innocence to it, fused Disney worlds with a JRPG charm and was well-contained. It wasn't until KH2 that shit started getting weird and convoluted.
Pretty much this. It pretty much parallels the Matrix: first is pretty good if you just except the magic as an excuse plot. Then it tries to explain it and falls apart.
But since that's been done...
So much praise was heaped on the heap of tihs known as One Chance.
One Chance is a flash adventure game where you play as some scientist who cures cancer but oh wait the cure is a horrible disease that will wipe out humanity. You have like a week to do whatever you want to, and then you can't play the game anymore because it blocks you so you really only get that one chance.
Unless you clear your cache I mean.
The first time I played through, everyone died. So, naturally, I cleared my cache and played through every possible iteration to see all the endings. And they make no sense.
Scenario 1: Play through the game like you don't care you're going to die. You cheat on your wife who then leaves you and basically don't even try to find a cure.
Scenario 2: Work for a cure. Except your co-workers locked the door to the lab and you aren't allowed to even ask them for the key until the second to last day when someone just hands it to you. While you're working, your wife suicides. Everyone dies but you.
Scenario 3: Stay with your wife. Your wife doesn't leave you. She doesn't commit suicide. Because the author didn't think you'd actually spend time with her, she simply ceases to exist after a few days.
Etc.
I know crappy flash games are nothing new, but very few of them go viral and get the kind of praise this one did. Despite everything I'd heard about it, there's nothing "brilliant" about it. And the spelling is atrocious!
(I know this probably doesn't count, but I'll let someone else discuss Final Fantasy X.)
