EP. REVIEW: Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

How does inventory work in GGO? I thought they had to physically carry everything thus the magazine/grenade pouches as well as M's giant backpack to carry his shield. But then Pito suddenly equips a helmet, armor and several guns out of nowhere and she wasn't carrying any bags or anything.

I did get a laugh at the green haired girl's short lived stint as a pacifist.
"I don't believe in killing people, even in games"
"Oh nooooo, my buddies died in this video game, that other player must not be human, now I can kill her!"

It's a bit weird the other teams keep calling Pito a monster when she's the only one technically plaything this match how it's supposed to be played. It's a battle royal, while it may not be against the rules the, teams trying to gang up together are going against the spirit of the game more then Pito who is just killing everyone.

Finally, it felt a bit forced that MMTM would suddenly charge the log cabin. Only one member of PM4 was wounded, the rest of the team was fine and in a fortified position. LF and SHINC were both closing in on the cabin. The smartest thing to do would have been to let them all fight it out and then take out the survivor. Attacking a fortified position while having to worry about being attack by two other teams also attacking that position just doesn't make sense.

But aside from nitpicks, the episode was pretty cool. Looking forward to the next one.

Pito must have bought some pretty powerful plot armor before the game started to survive a direct headshot.

Everything about her arc makes me roll my eye so hard, it's so idiotic.

Really hoping the shot of M and Pito indicate she really does have feelings for him...

Ok, so if they have Nerve Gear and dying in the game means dying in real life, I'm lost as to how Llenn killing her means she won't die in real life. I was under the impression that she would kill herself if anyone but Llenn beat her, but Nerve Gear kinda throws a wrench into that - was that story all a lie?

High enough vitality will allow a player to survive at least one head-shot. Never was it ever established that under any and all circumstances that a head-shot was a guaranteed instant kill. You simply assumed it was.

In this example, the only reason she didn't die was because M healed her in addition to her high health pool. This will not be the last time a high vitality build is used to face tank an otherwise powerful potentially fatal attack nor was it the first.

It's such nonsense, it feels like they were forced to add this garbage in because the show needed "stakes."

When exactly was the opposite established? Like, for a show that's weird about treating the game avatars as if they're living breathing entities, who somehow feel physical pain, and chill at bars eating and drinking, surviving a headshot because someone healed you after you got shot, and would have lost your HP, is pretty inconsistent.

Snip

Did she focus her stats on her health or something? given how fast she moved when she was taking out all those teams it seemed that she would be the speedy/agility type. Or does GGO have a leveling/progression system where you can get stronger over time?

1) It's not so much as the show wanted to add "stakes" and more like Pito herself wanted to feel mortal danger.

Maybe they got Plot Armor in a loot box.
