This game is awful. It's irritatingly complicated, and not in that good way that some great rpgs are. It's been out in NA for 2 months and its already had 7 updates, none of which added new content and instead have been piss-poor attempts and fixing something that was clearly not ready to be released. It's not challenging or hard, but it is absolutely more difficult than necessary in regards to the AI not working eith you and the ridiculous airtime you get when knocked up, allowing enemies to theoretically TOD you before you hit the ground. It's not even fun when you finally do manage to defeat the obnoxiously spongey enemies; it's just immensely tedious. The quests aren't always clear with what the requirements are, npcs disappear at random off the map so you can't always turn quests in, the framerate drops are so distractingly heartbreaking your chest will hurt, and the low res backgrounds are like nails on a chalk board. While the cheating in Fatal Bullet was horrendous, its single player campaign was more enjoyable than this nonsense by leaps and bounds. The fact that you can get in a squad and they can leave with out you, and you CANNOT fast travel to them is honestly my biggest pet peeve; why make co-op if people can literally separate and do their own thing (and get lost)? I'm severely disappointed by this entry in the SAO series, and frankly I'd ask for my money back if I didn't already know the chances of me actually getting it were in the negative. For the love of God don't buy this, it's not worth 60$. Rent it and try it if you're more inclined to try things out for yourself, but do not waste your good money.
