Review of Sword Art Online

here's my SAO review : plot/story 2/10 who the fuck plays an MMO only to be alone also why no classes. ALO is dumb 9 way faction pvp where each faction is different enough to be an actual class. if it were a real game it wold be complete shit just like SAO characters development: 2/10 what development? ART and animation: 8/10 Look good only redeeming quality outside of soundtrack soundtrack: 7/10 pretty good if You must watch this trash I suggest scrubbing through to the fan service scenes and ignoring the rest although if that was your entent go watch some hentai or a good ecchi anime and notwaste your time with this garbage.

overall score: 4/10

How is SAO bad as a game well:
alright lets make a fantasy MMO where where everyone is the same class and no roles other than damage because fuck healers, tanks, and support roles. lets also throw in mechanics like poisons or bosses that need to be dodged, parried, blocked, or in pretty much all cases tanked. then lets have it so that once you die you can't play it anymore because you are dead.
sounds like a good game right? haha no.

alright what about the second part?

Alright how about this then.
an MMO with 9 races each race is its own faction and all factions are at war with eachother.
Faction A= Fire magic + 2 handed weapon damage dealers
Faction B= support/healers only with Air magic
Faction C= support/healers only with water magic
Faction D= stealth / rogue classes
Faction E= Earth magic + tanks
Faction F= Animals
Faction G = Black magic
Faction H= Bards
Faction I= Blacksmiths and every other crafting profession

RIP anyone who isn't in faction A, D, E, and possibly F and G. you're gonna get ganked.

this is ALO from SAO in a nutshell

the author of SAO has never played an MMO in his life and doesn't understand things like balance and game design.
