Why SAO is a Worse Video Game than it is an anime
Added 2016-12-16 17:05:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month - the trip to japan kept me preeeetty busy, and a lot of the rest of my time has been spent working on content. I know I missed putting up a video last week, but hopefully this 40 minute teardown of the game design in SAO will make up for that a bit!
also, the first patron poll for the weebcast will be going up tonight!

I'm gonna probably sound stupid but... What if the release of SAO was actually the open beta, I mean closed beta already happened, it could be possible that it was time for the open beta... I mean 30k sold would be a failure of epic proportion after all.

2016-12-16 17:19:13 +0000 UTCWould it be very mean to compare the gameplay to Ride to Hell or Omikron?
