Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream REVIEW | Sword Art Online: Fracture Daydream PS5 Gameplay

[@MyLivingLegacy]

One of the main things in my impressions was I needed to have either a customer character or, personally preferable, customise skill sets. Using the same 3 skills isn’t diverse enough, it’ll get boring too quick, especially when the game modes are also very repetitive. Such a shame :/ this pretty much seals a no buy until either free on a sub service or a deep deep sale years down the road, at best. As I’m missing the other SAO games tho still, I’ll just go play them in the future probably instead for cheap.

[@lazertazer1251]

Funny thing about Fatal Bullet is that i bought it for every console i own 😂 it’s a great game

[@andryhrakotoniaina7437]

The only thing that really annoys me is how there is literally zero tracking for attacks. Like if you play a melee character it's guaranteed that you'll miss a lot of attack just because you were 1 inch too far from the enemies or they just moved at the last minute and since you can't cancel animations you just swing your sword in the air like an idiot. I never realised how important that feature was until this game because no other game that I can think of has this problem. Even in this video where you already played a lot, look at how many attacks miss the targets

[@krystalcloud4234]

Try attacking while flying they give you some pretty good tracking while flying

[@michaelkelloff7377]

I actually like the lack of tracking. Combat feels more engaging when I need to actually think about my positioning. The super jank camera when lock-on is engaged is a different story. I find myself simply not using the lock-on a good majority of the time bc it disables my R stick control over the camera.

[@SC-cx9ti]

If you are missing a lot, its likely because attacks dont step forward much or you cant reorientated between animations

[@ushireborn]

I like the lack of tracking because it forces you to be more tactical. it will give more long term strategy to the game especially if they decide to add PVP

[@joshua7426]

Basically you just need to git gud

[@kasaialyss3411]

I think it would be cool in a future update to add like, 2 or three new skills to every character. I think that would help alot with letting players diversify and custimizing a bit. I know off the top of my head id change off vorpal strike on yuuki. Dont care for that move in particular tho it has its uses. And i hope they add at least a bit of corse correction to some skills. I cant tell you the amount of times ive used a skill and then the boss just decides to go somewhere else and im just shadow boxing for a solid 10 seconds. At the very least let us turn the character mid animation

[@fidtutosegames]

The game already have another skills , have you played ?

[@justapotato9276]

@@fidtutosegamesare you just talking about passives or the legendaries that kind of changes your skills??? You can’t change any of the advanced skills

[@gainward2]

They should just copy Fatal Bullet. Let you make your own character then have the styles of the cast in the game that you can copy.

[@DawezyDRK]

Fair review ^_^ As it stands now I'm still in the camp of passing on this entry like I did with Last Recollection.. Lycoris left a bad taste, if I want to get my flying fix I feel like I'd be better off booting up Accel World vs SAO flying around in that one was a treat.

[@calebb7012]

So fatal bullet did everything better.

[@mrbryan8752]

that game was great and very underrated. 2024 version would do so much better than this game

[@KingAlucard007]

Nice review, i agree on pretty much everything you have said with the likes and dislikes but maybe hopefully they might add the changing of skills down the line...one could hope

[@pikapikapitiful]

I don't know how fatal bullet was with the armor but I don't like the fact that in order to take skills from weapons they have to be epic or legendary and the buff you take from those weapons can only be applied to the character's weapons you sacrificed. Meaning if you take a skill from a kirito weapon like (ultimate damage plus 15%) and wanna put it on another weapon.. it can only be a kirito weapon. With 21 characters.. epics and legendaries dropping scarcely.. it's almost impossible to start crafting gear with awesome passives. Unless the epic/legendary rate at rank 100 is higher

[@chrislaws4785]

WHY cant we just get an ACTUAL SAO MMORPG?! I'm talking Final Fantasy 14 level of MMO! WHY cant we just get that already? I want the SAO style of fighting, sound effects and EVERYTHING that made that world feel different. I want to charge up my attack and hear that SAO sword sound effect SO BADLY!! I want to defeat an enemy and see them SHATTER into a million pieces, i want ALL the things from SAO but in a FF14 level of polish and story telling MMORPG game that can ALSO be played solo IN FULL, just like FF14. Is THAT too much to ask for?

[@mathewhosier9739]

Because the only RPGs that matter are single player with optional coop, the last thing we need is an always online multi-player only live service game, i could see maybe a coop PvE action RPG but no live service, and it needs to be an optional offline mode for solo players, even if you have to add AI teammates, if Cygames can do it with Granblue Fantasy Relink then so can Dimps, its the perfect formula, that way you don't have to worry about charging for cosmetics that should be in game unlocks

[@noobgamershub]

Do we need ps plus to play online or just internet connection? Thanks

[@trythelight8319]

This game is a lot of fun for me and I know I’m gonna enjoy it as a button masher who likes the semblance of playing with others and accomplishing the same goals. But I totally agree. What’d make this game cooler is the ability to choose - at the very least - a different loadout for Kirito (like GGO gun and photon sword, Alicization with mage stuff, or Alfheim with their flying and spellcasting). Having a customizable character to do something like a multiclass or multi-role would be absolutely fantastic. Imagine being able to switch from the Engineer role as in Fatal Bullet to a pistol and sword mid-game and going to town with DPS. I can see why they’re going the route they are with customization and I don’t like it…but part of me wonders how logistical it’d be to balance the skill sets if people just pick what’s most optimal. Those who’re grinding the game hard are making so much headway while I - though I do my best - can’t get near 1000000 damage as a casual player. That’s it from me though. Lots of fun. Just could be better and I hope the devs are taking peoples hopes into account

[@RonaldLadao]

My fear of me getting this game at it's current $60 price tag. That it might be another Square Enix Avengers game without the live service. I played the Fractured Daydream beta. I like how the game is PVE, a beat'em up, and it can be 20 players in one game. I also liked SE Avengers, but somewhere in the middle of playing the single player. I felt the repetition of that game. So I'm kind of hesitant of getting Fractured Daydream at it's current $60. And also fear the game is dead when it hit at the $30 price range.

[@alphacorgi_2764]

8:33 Im confused, I’ve been playing and you can change the outfits of characters. No skills but outfits you can.

[@hoodiejaden]

he's talking about created characters. thats what everyone has been asking for

[@tragic_solitude7992]

I wish they would just make another SAO game based on GGO that is similar to the Division.

[@CurtisDoleshek]

Max lvl 20?

[@ExtraHecticana]

If one of the pros listed about a game is that you can skip half of it... it might not be great lol

[@mywifecangametoo1111]

No customization No deal!!

[@KouheixHazuki]

Not everyone is going to be into Sparking Zero as not everyone likes or even plays fighters. I can see this game lasting a bit more so because it's something other than One Piece, Naruto, or DBZ games that get crammed down anime fans throats.

[@a.a.aalnaft]

are u saying that this game is gonna last more than Sparking zero LMFAO

[@monikaguerra]

still waiting for fatal bullet 2 :((((

[@soultekkamusic115]

I wanna get this but I'm still playing Fatal Bullet😅

[@brightboxawesome2702]

This game sucks, it's a walking sim/attack spam simulator. Not being able to change your characters moveset sucks. The objective is always the same, run around and spam attack. Doesn't take more than 1 brain cell do avoid boss moves. ugh I'm so disappointed that this is the best this franchise has to offer.

[@HunterGatherer10]

SAO games are always extremely disappointing, and it's funny because they have infinite source material.

[@brightboxawesome2702]

@@HunterGatherer10 people eat this shit up too. This is why we’ll never actually get a game that actually slaps. Cause people will go and buy this 80$ super ass game and go on KZbin and praise it like it’s actually good. So the execs are like, no need to make better games with actual objectives cause our audience will pay for anything. 0 risk for them to make a shit game.

[@gamerbeast3616]

Game is super good keep your trash opinions its the best sao game in years you hate because you have nothing better to do You trying hard to hate on the game its cringe honestly

[@brightboxawesome2702]

@@gamerbeast3616 Super sad, this is why SAO with never get a REAL game. It's okay to say a game is mid and still enjoy it.

[@Saber34434]

Shi is still fun tho😹😹

[@BaoPham-tz6wo]

do this game will have pvp?

[@gamerbeast3616]

No pve only

[@michaelthomas9891]

My perfect game would have been a dorect succesor to fatal bullet witht the same pritag and arfa-sys but at worst i was okay with just a character creater and seeing as they were only willing to do a basoc kirito woth no cac i am still on the side of waiting for a deal in a year or two

[@barryreaves3938]

if there was cac i would fosho get this but no that and no customizations like that i will sadly just watch people play

[@marvin8559]

Lack of skill customization makes this a no buy for me at launch. To many other high quality games dropping in this next 2 week stretch for lack luster customization. Seems like since they want people to buy characters via the passes that they are making combat more versatile which is a shame. Waiting for a Black Friday sale for this at minimum

[@gamerbeast3616]

Does not fit this game so ummm keep crying

[@imykel2]

Is the combat better then hollow realization?

[@ushireborn]

I think it is

[@chalo3427]

million times better

[@raphacreations]

Depends. The way Hollow Realization locks the screen and also has a better variety of skills (WAY MORE) and complexity of combat when you get into the super higher levels just stands better, but on a base, this game has a better moviment and you kinda feel your attacks are really hitting and giving damage to the enemies

[@Grinchpon]

Jesús Christ what is everyone’s obsession with creating their own character?! This isn’t that kind of game. You don’t want to play as Kirito? News flash: YOU HAVE 20 OTHER CHARACTERS TO CHOOSE FROM. Like, are people that desperate to put their OC in the game? Go play fatal bullet then.

[@yujin1343]

Do you need to watch the anime in order to play this?

[@mmmyummymmm]

Yeah because to unlock characters for multiplayer you have to play the story quests. My friend he's only watched season 1, so I told him to maybe wait. I would. Unless you wanna just skip through the story like you're speed running. I guess you could do that. Not worth the 59.99 in that case

[@krisjones7591]

Please please please can someone answer this for me. Is there a way to turn off the characters voices during combat, so i don't hear them speaking Japanese during combat after each attack? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@WellAurelio]

I like this game

[@randallgoeswhere]

So compared to Elden Ring how is this? 😂

[@duckey499]

Can't compare it to that there is no comparison at all.... if your expectations aren't high for sao witch it shouldn't be due to the previous games then it's pretty fun...

[@lisazheng8308]

I'm neutral with Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream

[@godsbane13]

if u dont like grinding, dont play a grinding game.

[@ProjectLv6]

Man I really wish they would have at least let us be alo kirito man it sucks

[@kotaindah2]

Still this game it same par with sao fatal bullet. Last 2 games is mess up. Hope bandai not just prioritize sao game. But also digimon game and other in future. Bandai must learn their mistake in past and learn from another developer like koei temco.

[@DerSchlachtherr]

to be honest: lycoris was a completly dogshit! but last recollection is a ok sao game. what fractured daydream needs: changable skills, more koop missions, raids, bosses and maps. and of course more enemy variations

[@mathewhosier9739]

Worst SAO game, its barely a RPG, you cant play the most important part of the game solo, always online, live service trash, Last Recollection was better, what most crybabies who didn't play it don't know is you can actually replace Kirito with a created character, the game needs the option to play all content solo and offline, Aquria just makes better SAO games and better RPGs overall

[@jadamane]

Your friends get tired of games tho that’s repetitive lol= by yoself 😂

[@kebjnchan]

I prefer playing online game so this game is a win for me if someone prefer offline mode sry it's not for you so far til it add more content for offline player. Since it a online game mode they gonna update and fix the game more quicker. It just 3 days early release so I won't judge hard at this time it's a fun game for me so far although I haveno friend to group with lol I hope they gonna add guild and lobby where ppl can chat soon ingame not just spamming emote.

[@qazz6209]

Won't bother it looks repetitive asf

[@online0227]

pvp plzzzzzzzzz

[@manafront]

Game is boring

[@sentz.]

ok

[@gamerbeast3616]

A character costumizastion does not fit this game like at alle so disagree with that one

[@snivysnake8992]

It's a MMORPG where ALL the worlds are coming together and you're saying character customization does not fit? Damn didn't know Kirito and friends were the ONLY ONES playing a MMORPG 😂. Kirito literally states at the end of Fatal Bullet that you our on his level and he's NOT going to call for your help? I'll just wait for sale and get Sparking Zero instead.
