Other than the PC controls being a bit unresponsive, the game is amazing. At least from what we've seen so far, it's looking like a staple for SAO gamers for a long time.

[@gamerbeast3616]

Hopefully its fixed in the full release

[@teitoku91]

​@@gamerbeast3616 Don't think so. Developers simply don't have an experience to make it. For ranged characters there's still hope, but not for a melee one.

[@_5ive6]

What controls? I’ve had 0 issues playing this game so far.

[@vlanson6529]

​@@teitoku91Agreed. The developers are familiar with Gunplay thanks to developing Fatal Bullet, but the melee in the game, while serviceable, was far from good.

[@gamerbeast3616]

[@hiopy8131]

This game is actually good like good good, this might be the best one since fatal bullet, they actually showed us that they can make a good sao game

[@Riceisgood777]

The combat is so janky with melee characters... feels more like it came fresh out of Alpha phase into beta phase

[@teitoku91]

​@@Riceisgood777 That's because a melee weapon in Fatal Bullet's was the same as in this game. Fractured Daydream was made by "Dimps" - the one who made a Fatal Bullet. Shooting is also not the best, but it's fine.

[@hiopy8131]

@@Riceisgood777 I think this is a issue with the pc version, I’m playing on ps5 and it actually feels really good to play, I’m actually shocked they actually put some effort that the others did not have, so far the combat feels snappy, flashy and fun, I haven’t felt this way about a sao game since fatal bullet, honestly I’m thinking on buying it day one my only concern is how much content it will have, because for a game like this it has to have a pretty decent chunk on content on launch so it doesn’t feel like you’re doing the same missions over and over again

[@Riceisgood777]

@@hiopy8131 It feels anything else than snappy tbh and Im not just talking about input responsiveness. I mean clunky skill animations, attack animations, worse auto lock than relink, some mobs like the golem attacks are giga bad animationwise. For ranged Its less noticeable and they feel better to play with. I play ARPG gachas that are 1000 times more snappy and more flashy in combat than this half baked beta from Bandai. As usual Bandai half assing SAO games giving bad deadlines to developers, its sad because SAO could also be a good video game franchise If they took it seriously.

This game was such a massive surprise for me and my friends. Not one of us knew the game even existed, one of us randomly saw that there was a playtest for it while browsing Steam and, seeing it was super light (like 4GB) we decided to give it a try. We played for 5 hours and ended up going to sleep at 4am. It was super fun and addictive. Played a couple hours more the enxt day before deciding to get the full game. It felt like SAO Relink but with, apparently, actual end-game and post launch support, so I'm hype.

[@TheKanjiX]

It's pretty much Fatal Bullet V2, just instance based. With Dimps being involved with games like Soul Calibur/Xenoverse AND they made Fatal Bullet, I had expected Fract to be way better. Had fun in the beta but some of the issues are clear as day. If Dimps didn't bother to fix these issues before 1.0 then I'd bet they won't be fixing them anytime in the future. Which means I really question the quality of content in the foreseeable future. And ofc, the game's longevity. NOTE: I do know it's just beta and that some options are locked/hidden. That the team could possibly address these issues...but it's closing in on full release. They had PLENTY of time to fix stuff. - Lock on is detrimental and clunky as heck. Especially for some characters like LLEN/Leafa. Also, can't really target anything w/o using it else you just move past the target. They made lock on an essential mechanic, but it's just shit and works against you half the time. I mentioned LLEN. Yes, LLEN's abilities with Lock On, can find herself overshooting her past the target quite a bit. It's a problem for her specifically since she relies heavily on them to deal damage. - Can't AniCancel out of skills. I'm going to use LLEN again. She's a real victim. You shoot past your target with Skill #1, can't cancel out of it with enemies around you. Same with Skill #2 but worse. I assume Dimps is just respecting the source material, which is, despite Sword Skills being super duper good in most cases, the one most dangerous drawback is it's recovery time. Kirito explains this heavily at some point in the LN and we see it in the anime at the final battle against Heathcliff. I get it. But it sucks. So Much. Poor LLEN. Also Poor Leafa. Everything she does ani-locks her so hard. Don't forget she's a Healer?...I guess. Healer's need to have mobility. Speaking of Leafa, her fly skill is soooooooooooo poooooooooorly implemented. Holy molyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. It's freaking cool, don't get me wrong but woooooooooooooooooooooooooow. At least we can anicancel out of normal moves. W. - Lack of zoom out FOV option, and before anyone mentions it, the "Close/Near/Far" is a joke. It's a weak band aid attempt. Sucks for fighting the raid bosses. Can't see anything above knee level when I'm hacking at the Kobold Lord, especially when Lock on already sucks. Don't' get me started on Skull Reaper and Sword Golem.. - Lack of Sword Skills/abilities. Maybe we'll get to pick/switch skills/abilities? If it's just the set...that would be really lame. I.E. Leafa. She's a Healer but has literally 1 healing skill that goes on a ridiculous CD. Where's her other healing stuff? - Objectives. It doesn't really incentivize overall teamwork. The leaderboard isnt helping in this either. It's making a 20-man coop raid a competitive scene for no reason. No one wants to be left behind and missing out on the action. But in my 15 hr experience, some teams I played with takes their time clearing, getting chests and slowly moving onward while team 2/3/4 is already on the last tower mission which has the most action before raid boss. I say last because you can farm there for EXP to level 24ish or whatever appropriate and then fight raid boss. The design is just really lazy with no thought process in it. I wouldn't be surprised seeing some toxic solo players forcing their team to clear the first area ASAP but dying immediately to mobs because the rest of the team is lacking behind, then that solo person rage quitting to another game. It's a real problem. Don't forget there's a limited exclusive boss event somewhere near after 1.0 that apparently requires level 90 gear to clear. And the boss drops limited stuff. You damn well know everyone is just going to efficiently clear maps ASAP to prep for limited time raid boss because FOMO. - Shooting gameplay is dog water. Unless you're on a PC to somewhat compensate. I mainly play Controller in these types of games, but always switch to Mouse whenever I play the range characters. And even then, aiming on Mouse is preeeeeeety bad. I'm relying heavily on the aim assist function 95% of the time. And I'm no stranger to shooter games. It's 2024. Put forth some effort on the shooting gameplay please. - Lack of customization is saddening. But of course, we haven't seen the full game. If there are more options, then this beta period is a really poor showcase of it. - Mainly everyone's agreement that we can't make our own character. Fatal Bullet really is the one game in the collection we can truly have our own non-Kirito protag. And no, I don't count Hollow Realization. -This being accessible to Switch says a lot. I have nothing against Switch. I have one too. I love it. But it's available on Switch. It's the same as saying an MMO is playable on PC AND Mobile. Generally doesn't mix and bode well in a game's development. OVERALL. Fract is fun enough. It genuinely surprised me pleasantly. And I'm tired, so tired, as an SAO fan of receiving shit SAO games. Tired of just immediately assuming the next installment is trash, cause that's originally what I thought of Fract without seeing any game play. Tired of Bandai. They literally have NO idea how MUCH they can profit off of a GOOD SAO game if they just TRIED. This time, I'll look at Fractured Daydream as a W. We need one. - $60 is ridiculous though. The pre-purchases are horrendously overpriced LUL.
