SAO is really bad right? As an anime and as a game.
The games are overall kind of dumb plot-wise but other than that mostly just not good enough. People tend to exaggerate when a game is just average and not worth your first few picks. But "there are worse games out there" isn't enough for most. Also there are at least three games now and it would take more attention than they're worth to explain. Get one if it's cheap and you're bored, play anything better if you have a choice.

The anime forum can explain the anime, it's not worth rehashing here when it's been done to death already. It also was assembled in a haphazard manner like the games so it's janky, inconsistent and at times actually offensive.

The anime is ludicrously bad but the Hollow games are fun if you're into the faux MMO thing.

The other one is more action RPG sort of thing and is kinda just boilerplate at best.

PS4 has a sexy 4.50 firmware update coming, whose beta starts today, with some amazing new features:

:siren: PS4 Pro will now be able to boost all games, not just ones with a formal patch. :siren: That said, it sounds like this mainly means hitting framerate targets more often; a 30fps locked game will still be 30fps locked.
:siren: PS4 will now support external storage for games. :siren: Currently, hard drives must be USB 3.0, and must be between 250 gig and 8 tb in size. It's unknown still if multiple drives will be supported, or if these drives will be console-tied (for the record, Xbox One external storage isn't console-tied)
Other features include:

Custom Wallpapers

Quick Menu Refresh

Simplified Notification List

Post on PlayStation Network Activity Feeds

3D Blu-rays on PlayStation VR

Can the custom wallpapers let you use SFXs from wallpapers? I would keep the PSX theme on at least in the background.

External drives on the beta work on multiple consoles so can be used to avoid patch/digital game downloads when going to friend's houses. :toot:

It's $24.74 CAD but explicitly marked as a Flash Sale soooo either it's not fully updated or Sony just casually had a flash sale with only one game and didn't advertise it.

I can't speak for the newer ones, but that old one that's a port is uh... obtuse

I've played Korean MMOs that are less grindy than Hollow Fragment is. Skip to around the 9-minute mark to really see how bad it gets.
