While I don't know if it's NOT possible, moving a sleeping player's finger over the 'yes' button is different than having said sleeping player open a menu and scroll through it. I'm not even sure how people open menus in this game.

Isn't this what the show has been doing since ep 3? Well I'm looking forward to all the same as long as their plot advancement too. Last edited by Iron Maw; 2012-08-29 at 11:55. |

I disagree with you all.

It's just a pinch and pulling down. Nothing to it.
Klein and Kirito do it in ep1, when trying to logout. I don't think the move even has to be that exaggerated. Quote:

When we compare The World of Oz (Summer Wars) to Sword Art Online then I think we’re talking apples and oranges because those two worlds had totally different aims to begin with. The appeal of The World of Oz is in its sentimentality. Hosoda aimed Oz to be tribute to the World Wide Web and wanted to portray its amazing ability to connect people from around the world and transcend borders and barriers. To achieve this Hosoda aimed Oz to excel in communication, hence why it bares so much similarity to social networking sites. In contrast, the appeal of Sword Art Online is in its escapism. Kawahara is more interested in the gaming community rather than the whole internet and so Kawahara aims Sword Art Online to be every gamer’s wet dream. To achieve this Kawahara aims his world to excel in immersion by giving it so much detail and providing so many game play features and factors (and of course making it as cool as possible). And if recent episodes are anything to go by, Kawahara might explore the darker side of its escapism and end up being far darker than Summer Wars if it isn’t already. Which one you think is better is ultimately dependant on you. In terms of which world I’d most like to play in, I’d definitely go for Sword Art Online (I mean without the death). In terms of which makes a better story, I’d say Summer Wars edges out, but only because I’m more of a lurker than a gamer. Ultimately I agree with Blaat: A combination of both probably would be mind-blowing.

I think there's at least one thing you're mistaken: You'll not going to live an 'old, boring life' in SAO. In fact you'll die a LOT quicker than you expect, since one, your real body is trapped in a hospital where your entire fate lies on whether the hospital/family/guardians decide to keep you alive or off you and put you out of the misery. Two, you're different from a coma patient that your brain is constantly working instead of brain dead/near BD, which means although your body is slowly dying your brain requires the same energy (or something similar) as when you're active. Eventually your brain is going to break down, and when that happens...

I just noticed, but look at how Asuna's holding her knife:
That's not the grip for a short sword or a dagger. Conclusion: there's a "table knife" skill, and Asuna's got it. (Unless the sword skills for the table knife come from the Cooking skill, maybe?) |

Yeah, it's probably related to her "Cooking" skill. |

That doesn't necessarily mean Kirito's life prior to being captured in SAO was terrible, or that he is a wreck who was only saved by escaping / being held hostage in SAO... but it means there are likely some people for whom it isn't hell. I know I keep bringing this up... but our character's who are trapped inside the world are growing familiar with it, and finding things to enjoy inside the world. I think they're finding the 'whole lot of positives' you seem to be missing. |
