We Played The New Sword Art Online Game Fractured Daydream 

"LAST THING HE HEARD WAS *FUGA* I'M THE KING OF CURSES SUKUNA"

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.

I might try this. Thanks for the great video grey!

Game has potential. Can easily be the best sao game but it has quite a few issues that need to be ironed out

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

This game is going yo be drad on arrival

I just started this anime lol

Damn not gonna lie this looks good, I usually stay away from anime games but this I am trying it

Combat is pretty mid tbh feels very spammy

well well your the first one i seen play this. MARVELOUS this looks like a SAO game that's worth investing into thx for playing and making a video of it^^

Having a blast in the beta but I'd never pay 60 dollars for it 😬 doesn't give worth 60

Day 13 of telling grey to play plants vs zombies battle for neighborville or plants vs zombies garden warfare 2

Game looks mid. And what they going to do when there isn't enough players to allocate 20 players to everyone's match making

i was expecting the gameplay to be like granblue fantasy relink but with SAO characters, but this is definitely a downgrade, combat feels clunky and not as responsive. i was expecting better from a bigger studio smh.

Eleven king is MY GUY... but you changing my mind with grenade gal

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.

If you tell me it is good, I'll buy it!!!

Raid bosses are no joke

The best thing that makes you stand out are the drawn out thumbnails. I love the art for every episode you make!!! 🦊🦊

This game is promising now I’m gonna buy it

This fake enthusiasm is so cringe.

Cool man, even LLenn has drip

If the combat was smooth like Granblue Relink then I’d consider getting this one.

"I think game prices are too expensive, and online play may require a paid season pass."

I don't know how much you guys got paid, but this game is genuinely not good. It has so many problems, like deep problems that need months and months of reworking and it costs 60 bucks ???? If it was F2P okay fine but 60? Gurl wtf

The fact someone said the fairy arc was good is a miracle in itself. It's so bad except for that one scene. I really only think the first 14 episodes first season is good and then it falls off and doesn't pick back up til alicization

Imagine if this game had friendly fire like it canonically does lol. On the boss I couldn't see shit because there were too many VFX from 20 players

Would love to see more videos on the game.

Just bought the game, i love SAO, and i really wanted to play this sort of game on pc and finally it's here.

Gonna be brutally honest...this isn't worth the $60 price tag. There are tons of reasons for this the main one being combat.

Finally sao Online

nah they missing out on so much money with making them like this. make it an actual open world style and loot and stuff like its in the anime. like tf is this. what are we playing for in this game. you dont get shit from doing the stuff

I still sad no character creation. Is game worth playing without that?

0:15 my persona have a new Ability I can tell if a Hit

I got here in 10sec lol i think im first isk

This game is hella tough, definitely the best sao game

15 min team

Ngl, this just makes me want more sao alternative animes

What platforms is this on? GRAPHICS ARE HEAT. Also why yall playing fucking children😭

Reminds me of Phantasy Star Online

I liked it, hope it has lots of content

So you really just have one quest and one boss raid??

3:24 bro got SAO respect? Subscribed!

Looks fun for a couple hours. I preferred fatal bullet though.

I did not expect to like playing LLENN more than Asuna but she's just so much fun. I hope Yuuki is essentially sword-LLENN

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.

I was about to play it but then I realized I can't create my own character.

graphics are pretty decent compared to the previous jank on ps5

Crazy price but imma consider if I find a squad. If not - wait for sale

The game looks nice

First one to the video in this game looks pretty cool

It’s fun af so far i can see it getting repetitive but im down for it because I’ve been looking for a sao game like this as long as the dungeons, enemies and levels/ environments rotate it’ll feel fresh imo

it’s not that bad tbh

This is basically Kurtzpel im ngl

Bro, you didn’t make the video longer

looking sick

definitely need a squad for this gamw

Woman?

will this game be live service or like monster hunter and granblue fantasy relink with few dlc and updates and then finish

Does the game have gyro support?

This does look like it's gonna go nuts

Will this have swimsuit dlc?

Hope this game us in english

Can’t wait for a pt2

I saw you playing this on discord

Is it free?

My PC sometimes gets overwhelmed if have anything besides lowest settings, maybe my drivers messing up or sort

YO BRO IM SORRY FOR BEING LATE TO THIS Another fire vid btw

Sad thing is that this game has no character creation

GG

I only watched the first season of SAO before dropping it, neither did I watch GGO so i have no idea who some of these people are lol

W

very mid game unfortunately, in current state its definitely not worth 50 or 60$

Gameplay is EXTREMELY clunky without any depth. Every melee character feels absolutely terrible to play. The camera is always right up your butt even when set to far so you can't see shit when you're on the boss. Anyone coping that this is just beta is delusional af it releases in under 2 weeks, this is the final product. Compare it to granblue relink and it's at least 7 years of development behind, and they want $50 plus dlc? lmfao nah. Low effort game just aiming to snag some easy money from desperate fans.

Game looks incredible. Kinda wish we can have our own OCs for the 20 player raids, you know everyone wants to pick Kirito lol.

For a sword art online game, it's actually a W

Hi

PSO2 NGS is the same concept but has in depth character customization

this looks fun

This game actually looks so good can’t wait

Man, the last thing I want to play is an SAO hero shooter.

Hate having tonplay a multiplayer game as some shownmain characters. Either let me make my own, or give me someone new that plays side the main

1st

I just need character designs to look like cutscenes. 2024 game feeling like 2016

8:50 lol what a wonderful cut, be even funnier if the character did so much damage there was recoil from being too close

4:39 I heard that moan 😂

5:01 AYO PAUSE!!

2:41 😅😅😅
