Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization (Switch) Review

[@dannylopez821]

Hallow realization is the best sao game i loved it and i was playing on my vita so ima get this

[@Eddie_of_the_A_Is_A_Gang]

Idk, Hollow Fragment was better IMO. At least Narrative wise. Not the main part of the game, but all around with the red head girl, that part was really good and felt tense.

[@Shizzy5321]

Nah fatal bullet is the best

Great review man, I'm literally staring at it in the e shop it's 60% off I was super on the fence till listening to you and I can now safely say I'll find a different game. Close call!

I picked up this Game, Fatal Bullet and Lost Song they were cheap. I loved the arts style so I wanted to give it a chance. Alot of times the Games everyone praises I dont like as much and vise versa. My gut tells me I'm going to really enjoy this series more than this video is letting on.

[@keijijohnson9754]

Watching this review again after watching the IGN review really makes me feel bad for the reviewer there as the comments mocks him thinking that he has no idea what he’s talking about. But both of these reviews are pretty similar in regards to their criticisms with this providing more context than the other. But both were good in their own rights.

[@ravenarrow4631]

Butthurt weebs. If SAO games or others aren't perfect scores or damn near it, they bomb it. Kinda sad when you think this was $60, much like far better games such as Witcher, Dragon Quest, etc. They didn't even have the decency to dub this or put in proper cutscenes. Lazy ASF as usual for anime based games...

[@JelloFluoride]

The previous game is a great dungeon crawler for mindless grinding. Maybe this is similar.

[@cobalius]

German is far better than english for this game, as far as i can tell. The game is also an easy run for unskilled people like i was. I did nothing and spammed the attack button without knowing any timing-skill-needed-techniques. The fun stars pretty much in the second DLC. Despite that, there were like two mobs/bosses, which were interesting: a skeleton with a sword and another fast creature, i've seen first in the tutorial dungeon. These creatures were able to block my attacks, chased me and interrupt me within my attacks. They were pretty strong in the duel-update too.

[@orichalchem]

Tried it for 20 hours, i still prefer SAO Fatal Bullet, might give it a go more later

[@danteasdale286]

Are they different? I didn’t want to start SAO because there are so many of them. I don’t understand how they do them

[@akoCmudshake]

This and fatal bullet are on a big sale eshop sale rn. Should i get both games or this one only?

[@dantemendes5237]

It depends on which part of SAO you liked more HR has people from SAO Alicization and people from og SAO. On the other hand FB has everyone from GGO and some knew ones.

what was the better action rpg he said at 5:26 i could not hear it

[@robertmcdonald1245]

Bought this game for 5 bucks on Switch. Never once played an SAO game, but I'm a big fan of .hack so I wanted to try it. It's started a little slow and the mechanics were a mess to figure out. So far the best part is the Quests.

[@davidbeaulieu4815]

I love the anime. Alphheim online was my favorite world but gun gale was good too.

[@omega458]

I liked the first 12 episodes and that's it, asuna became worthless and became a damsel in distress and stopped being a badass.... Show went down hill

[@jerry024]

Lol, I literally traded my physical copy of this game for a Fatal Bullet copy. I got so fed up with quests that only do dialogue, I said screw it im done. But I liked Fatal Bullet, easily played 250+ hours on it. Dont get why most people liked Hallow Realization over Fatal Bullet, FB is great.

[@tamasvaro7923]

FB is amazing, love the grind, love the loot and the world, normal aiming could be better but it's one of my fav game at the moment! Although I quite liked HR as well, but the best SAO ge has to FB!

[@repeekyraidcero]

Thx for the heads up, I'll try the FB demo first, then decide. At worst it's a hack n slay with mp. Can't be worse than DaemonX or a musou game. And since Shingo Adachi is responsible for SaO's chara design, at worts I get giid refs for drawing xD

Because mine bugs is when Players (NPC with blue name text) in town stop spawning, sleeping in Inn does not help, go out to the field and come back also don't help. Progressing the story much further doesn't helping either, NPCs still not spawning in Town.

If they are not in town try looking up the location when outside of town. Not all npcs stay in the town so the location can be marked as ???.

[@ActuallyAcce]

Popularity and Cost. Most people watch in Japanese so not much need to pay people to redo the lines in another language for the minority.

[@dierandomdie]

English dub is garbage, usually (for me) have English speakers that sound completely out of place (LOOKING AT YOU DRAGON BALL) and kinda ruin the whole vibe, and there can be some serious information lost through poor translation.

I wonder why today’s Anime games don’t have English voices

[@unshelledmeltyrice9375]

i think its to reduce the cost for the development. getting a full cast for english dub costs more money and time, and i think most western fans wants japanese dub on JRPGs.

[@ravenarrow4631]

Dubbing would be nice, especially considering how piss poor their cutscenes are and the fact they always ask triple-A price for them. $60 for this non-dubbed and still image CS nonsense or Witcher 3, DQ XI, etc...not a hard choice there. If they put more effort into these and other anime games, they would probably do better

[@ellienyan]

I hate how they use the playstation button layout. Other than that this game is amazing. I wish they would port all the games (even accel world would be fun)

The reasons why today’s Anime games don’t have English voices because Bandai dropped out the R1 anime distribution industry years ago, which is where they pulled in most of their voices for the video games division. Nowadays they only dub the games that are expected to pull in a large amount of profit like anything from the Tales franchise.
