legendarylemur 05/13/18 4:43:34 AM #112:	In regards to GGO, I'm enjoying it enough. I wouldn't call it bad, and the author has a lot of fun with it, which I appreciate, but I wouldn't call it great either. There are too many things for an excessive gamer as I am that just takes me too far out of the experience. Games are games. If you try to make them too realistic, it ends up not being fun because real life is fucking boring and restrictive. If you try to also add in too many unrealistic things like a gun blocking bullets and realistic things like how they can taste, feel, experience to the extent of it transferring to real life skills or real life skills transferring to the game as is, it becomes a bit jarring to understand the world they're in. And right after they talk about all the mechanics that are hopelessly realistic, they still add how the girl can look completely different from the way she does irl AND be able to run that quick... When it hasn't solidified its rules and boundaries, it takes me too far out where the viewer is only doing the viewing and the writer is writing in his own world. Aside from the rules, there are also other weird things like why do they waste so much bullets and then later talk about bullet count and conservation. Why don't they ever use cover IMMEDIATELY? If anybody's ever played any FPS, even outside cover based shooters, run and gun in the open rarely happens because people constantly hide behind walls and covers. Firing only ever happens when a person is barely seen past a wall. I can't tell if this is because of the inconsistent and half-assed world that the hack writer Reki Kawahara came up with probably while sitting on his toilet or if maybe the Kino's Journey writer hasn't played too many games. Either way, it ends up running into every problem that SAO ever did, where so many wrong things are glorified and taken seriously, and the world feels very uninteresting or heavily geared towards a certain goal without having it breathe on its own. But I find the characters appealing. I think the MC's college self is pretty hot and her personality is hilarious. Saw the 6 schoolgirls being the burly girls from a mile away, and the tattoo girl is 90% certainly the main girl's favorite singer, because she wasn't available for the tournament which was on the same day as her concert. The big guy is just a big ass nerd, and that's pretty fun. So I'm taking what I can get, and it's still much better than most of the SAO series, which isn't really a high bar --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://imgur.com/JGJqvwW <cite>legendarylemur posted [p:901261895] in Anime/Stuf...
