Definitely like what they’re doing with Pito. She’s the ruthless, bloodthirsty rival tempting the heroine into an eternity of slaughter... and none of that matters in the slightest because this is just a game, so they’re just friends who are going up against each other because they think it’d be fun. I really hope they stick with that, and don’t introduce the kind of stakes that SAO is (in)famous for. Or, if they have to up the stakes (boo), I hope they keep Pito on the side of the angels.

Well, that’s one of the more amusing self-inserts I’ve seen in a while.

There’s certainly a lot we’re missing about M. A special-forces-quality real-world sniper who sobs like a baby at the thought of losing in a video game is a pretty narrow category.

I mean, the sniping scene really didn’t just show the sort of skills you get at the shooting range. Hitting unpredictably-moving targets at extreme range while under heavy fire is pretty next-level. M is a ludicrously good sniper in the real world. I do think it was being unable to fulfill the instructions in that letter that caused him to break down.

Nephthys posted:Sword Art Online Alternative: "This isn't Sword Art Online." I’m hoping it’s an amusing overreaction on M’s part because he’s a great big pansy IRL. His breakdown was kind of played for laughs.

Then again, it may just be an extension of the whole ‘we can afford to get away with grotesque ultraviolence because none of this is real and nobody’s getting hurt’ thing that this show shares with Gundam Build Fighters.

Also, Karen and Elsa being nice, kind girls in real life and hosed-up, sadistic serial killers online is just really funny.

ijyt posted:A recap 5 episodes in seems dumb. It’s usually a sign that the team is pushing themselves pretty hard and needs to take extra time to get everything up to scratch - and let’s be honest here, there’s been some fairly wild animation in these last few episodes. A recap’s better than someone dying or the production going full Wizard Barristers.

Apparently, only the free demos give you a random character. That’s why Karen was able to burn through thirty-seven games, and why she wanted to - she was only trying to experience the world in a small, cute body, and didn’t want to shell out any money until she knew it was possible.

Vinylshadow posted:I wonder what Shirley's deal is I’m guessing that while M pretends to be a real-world genius sniper with his invisible bullet-line skill, she’s the real deal. The real question is what’s up with Pitohui and M’s faceless posse.

The crappy-looking fake gore in GGO is amazing and hilarious. That bit where someone disintegrated into a pile of limbs and red pixels after getting hit by an anti-material rifle was great.

GGO does appear to have limited pain feedback, which does probably make torturing other players a bit more impolite.

Well, yeah, but someone pinning you down and repeatedly flicking you in the face (translation: blowing off your limbs and using you as a bullet-piñata) is probably pretty unpleasant and annoying. It‘s not exactly good etiquette.

I get the impression that your in-game stats determine how much pain feedback you get. Tankier characters do react less to being injured (Fuka, one of the toughest we’ve seen, barely seems to notice), while lighter, faster characters, and LLENN in particular (who we know skipped HP day) really don’t handle getting shot well.

For the record, Warframe is a pretty great GGO sim. Get a Volt, give it a Baza and a Heat Dagger, and paint everything hot pink. Boom, you’ve got LLENN with M’s shield.
