Is a SAO game where you dont play as Kirito really a big selling point?
>>739033378nobody wants to play kirito tbqh
>>739033378Kind of, yeah. I just wished they completely diverged from the OG story, as in there either isn't a Kirito or Kirito failed. The appeal of SAO is the death game and seeing it to completion, which they decided to very quickly wrap up half way through the Aincrad Arc. Alfheim felt completely lame since the stakes weren't really there, and Gun Gale brought it back although still not nearly as good as Aincrad. I haven't seen much past Gun Gale since it's hard to keep going when all they're doing is questing. I'll finish it before the game releases though. Given that the game is only the first 2 floors, there's certainly plenty of time to diverge, as long as the game is successful enough to warrant a sequel.
>>739033378Fatal Bullet was the best SAO game, and even it still had minor Kirito interference, imagine if he's completely absent.
A shit ton of people liked the setting but absolutely loathed Kirito. That said, this is about a decade too late to cash in on that sentiment, and the lack of interest now will make those people look like an extremely vocal minority.
>>739033378kirito is such a bland character even for an anime protagonist.
>>739033378Yes, literally the only reason why I played fatal bullet.
>>739033378Absolutely yes. Kirito is the single worst aspect of SAO. A game that focuses on being a faithful interpretation of the setting without his baggage weighing things down sounds fucking great.
I'm not playing a game where if you die in the game, you die in real life.
Remember when Asuna got her tits sucked off right in front of Kirito? The ntrshit was insane. Never gave a fuck about it back then but after rewatching it i just felt disgust. Asuna got tainted and she disgusts me, as well as the whole franchise.
>>739039552Just don't die? Fucking casuals.
>new movie included with the game>Kirito is the villain and this dipshit is the protagonist
>>739039685also the movie characters won't be in the game.It 100% is something they made to sell new songs
>>739039830100% characters that exist to die.
>>739039583Not only that, in the anime, there are certain frames in that scene that makes it look like she is getting french-kissed hard. I had to check up on LN and the manga to see if she really got mouth-raped and lost her first kiss or not.
>>739039685>CGItrashLmao
>>739033378the only SAO game I liked was the gun shooter one, and it was specially because you don't play as Kirito
>>739033378Only if i can fuck Asuna
>>739040094You're only allowed to fuck the rat.
>>739040276Not even fucking her. Wokeco wont give you shit anymore.
>>739033378Red pill: The only noteworthy thing about SAO was the fact that people were trapped inside a game. Everything else about SAO was dogshit and/or generic as fuck. So once it stopped being about everyone trapped inside a game the series immediately became nonexistent for everyone.Prove me wrong
>>739038764Eh, not many protagonists have parking lot knife fights to claim their comatose waifu from an evil businessman.
>>739040417Didn't cuckrito get cucked?
>>739040417Kirito manages to be in that weird zone where no matter what he does he just seems kinda lame. Even when he's doing something objectively cool he manages to come off as boring.>>739040590>>739040038>>739039583You fags however are obsessed.
>>739040590He lost a few of Asuna's first times, yes. And (you), if you self-inserted as him while watching.>>739040614Used gooda apologist spotted
>>739040614>>739040636What Asuna did in her virtual reality is her business, anonymous we must be better gamers.
>>739033378Playing as Kirito means you are cucking yourself unless you self-insert to him. However it's kind of hard to self-insert as Kirito considering he has like a decade's worth of character development and turned into a giga gary stu. So people just want to self-insert into the SAO universe and fuck the girls there.
>>739040905But she did it in front of me
>>739041882this happened
>>739033378For Americans and total normalfags, yeah. The other games are still pretty alright experiences for non-fans. Devs and corporate kinda have it in their heads that these things won't sell without familiar faces anyway. And with the settings that exist in the SAO series, a big appeal of a game existing in the franchise would be to experience it for yourself.Echoes is testing the waters, so I hope it does well.
>>739033378>Shitnuvo>Body types>Main characters still will be there to annoy you Not even worth stealing that slop
>>739033378>Playing as boring fuck MC>Playing as boring fuck OCNot really
