地图不有效化就看不到路,第二层那么绕,都快绕晕了都。开图体验太差了,至少给点路标什么的,这跟摸黑有啥区别
Good game that's getting too much hate.
Finally a great SAO game with a proper budget and care that's not another Underworld story. This time, you create your own character, and take part in your own story in the Aincrad arc as one of the 10k players trapped in Kayaba's scheme. I preordered it as soon as it was announced back in March! I recommend it even with the flaws for any SAO fan like myself. I ignored the negativity and formed my own opinion, and I love it for what it is. 11 hours in, and I'm slowly but surely making it through the story. There are tons of side quests (recommended if you want to unlock some systems like costumes to have a "set" appearance showing instead of your equipment) but each of them allow you to unlock parts of the map. I have enjoyed getting every chest and every side quest, many of them being actual quests from the source material (Such as "Secret Medicine of the Forest" and "The Heifer Strikes Back"). While yes it only seems to be covering the first two floors, I'm on the first floor, and it is MASSIVE. Once you think you unlocked most of it, it reveals more of itself as unexplored. However, even with the size, traversal is pretty enjoyable if you wanna grind some mobs on the way to the next part of the quest. The story is largely the same, though it was mentioned by the devs that you will be the hero of YOUR OWN STORY unfolding alongside the main story, not of Aincrad. Though in a way, it seems your quest is important for the future of the game. Now for some Cons, which I'll list below. -CHaracter creation isn't as advanced as you would hope, but it is still decent. WARNING. YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER ONCE IT'S BEEN MADE. - You can only change your equipment in town. You can't change it on the fly. Hopefully Bandai Namco can change this. - You cannot "solo" your quests, and you cannot leave towns without going on a quest. This may frustrate some, but it's probably to reduce load on most hardware, since again, this is a MASSIVE game. -Your partners really like to announce things a LOT. Even when you are right in front of things like a chest about to open it. However, them letting you7 know enemies are nearby does help from sneak attacks. If Bandai Namco can have my partner not say "Oh look, a treasure chest" as I'm in the middle of the animation to open it literally a PIXEL away, that would be nice. I'm sure there is an option to turn this off though. -Heavy slashes usually one shot basic mobs, and it has this "bullet time" effect for a second on the screen. It may be annoying to some, but I like it personally. - Some have complained about the counters with your partner being annoying in terms of the animation. I remember seeing a Youtuber playing a test build turn it off though, so that is possible. - It only happened once to me, but bosses can get glitched and you will have to restart from a checkpoint. Thankfully the menu allows you to teleport there. Now even with all these flaws, I am still enjoying the game. As an SAO fan, this is the best game since Fatal Bullet, and my character actually can express himself (though we are still a silent protagonist). I think you should buy this game and take a chance on it, and ignore the negativity to experience it for yourself and again, form your own opinion.
Boa ambientação, mas com inimidos repetitivos.
I love the world and while it might be light in activity it is a promising baseline and cannot wait to see what is added on down the line
It has been one of the best SAO game experiences I have had, yes it could be better but this really sucks my time in and I can't wait to see what they build from this. Though devs please give more skill diversity like in the series so that experience can be even better.
love it
Bin schon seit über 10 Jahren SAO fan, finde das Game etwas teuer aber recht gut gemacht, die einzigen beiden Dinge die ich mir wünschen würde, wäre dass es eine zweite Option gäbe (eventuell ein Item) seinen Charakter im nachhinein nochmal zu überarbeiten, da man im Bearbeitungsmenu nicht genügend Details sehen konnte und ein Koop-System mit immerhin 2 bis 4 Spielern wäre schon cool.
Fazit : MEINER Meinung nach ein absolut gutes Game. Wer aus 2. Reihe die SAO Geschichte miterleben will, und sich von Zwischensequenzen nicht langweilen lässt, sich Zeit nimmt, um die Welt zu erkunden, und das Spiel so spielt, als würde tatsächlich ein Ende endgültig sein, und lieber 3 Level mehr grinden bis es zur nächsten Map geht, ist hier absolut richtig. Viele Kritikpunkte kann ich durchaus verstehen, da wir daran gewöhnt sind, Spiele im Fast-leveling-Style durch zu rocken. Doch hat man tatsächlich mit jedem Waffentyp absolut immer eine Chance, jeden Kampf erfolgreich abzuschließen. Dass nicht in jeder Kiste ein One-Shoot-Item drin ist zB finde ich absolut nicht schlimm. Und wenn man jeden Winkel erkundet, haben sich die Entwickler schon Mühe gegeben. Ja, einige Quests schicken Dich in immer gleiche Locations, was auf Dauer sicherlich (auch bei mir) für eine Begrenzung des Spielspaßes gesorgt hat. ABER wenn man sich vor Augen hält, dass man nun mal auf Ebene 1 zB 1 Höhle im Gebiet, naja, warum sollte man dann in einer 2. oder 3. Höhle, die nicht existent ist eine Quest absolvieren müssen? Und mein Lieblings-Kritik-Punkt, dass Spiel frisst mir meine Zeit....Du spielst eine Videospiel....jedes Spiel frisst Zeit, eines mehr als andere, aber jedes frisst Zeit. Und dieses ist nunmal nicht dafür ausgelegt um nach 1 Stunde max Lvl und Best geared zu sein, sondern um sich der Story, den Characteren und der Welt hinzugeben, mit Ihnen zu fiebern, und, so ist es für mich, die Geschichte von SAO haut nah mit zu erleben. Ich weiß leider nicht, auf wie viele Etagen man insgesamt kommen kann, ich hoffe das man die ganze Geschichte bis hin zum letzten Kampf Kiritos nachspielen kann (Ebene 2 noch nicht abgeschlossen).
