      Imagine if this were censored…

      I can hear all the SAO fans screaming at the same time.

      Seeing all these games based on SAO makes me think they should’ve just stuck into this direction.

      Oh and Accel World. That’s another series that could use a million games. C’mon Reki shill this shit.

      Thankfully BandaiNamco is not Nintendo.

      The hype is real, and I hope we get the limited edition here in the West too.

      Back in the early 2000 they did at one point alter and censor their games, but after legal streaming of anime became readily available they started doing less so.

      Not liking Accel world and SAO and finding them shit, compared to dot Hack?

      I don’t have that much of a problem with that, it’s just the comparison to dotHack. (I like dotHack too though)

      Why is Yui still not a playable character?

      That’s fair, but dot Hack did have anime as well. I think it’s an apt comparison, considering the subject matter.
