EP. REVIEW: Quality Assurance in Another World

I'm not a gamer, so bear with me if I say something really ignorant.

I'm not sure how to put this, but it seems like there's something really off in how this is working. I think normally, the whole game doesn't run unless a player enters an area that triggers the game to run where someone is actually playing. We saw that in the evil debuggers getting caught in a loading sequence when they left the castle.

But with the current arc, the game seems to be running full time. What Yamanaka did to Gaydle isn't something that was originally scripted for the NPCs, so they shouldn't have any more storyline written for that. And yet they had a whole thing about what happened with Gaydle after Yamanaka left, with NPCs being killed by him and frustrations growing until they became homicidal. All this seems to have occurred without any additional player interaction, which means the game was still running in that area as if someone was actually playing there.

So basically, I'm not sure what to think about this.

Well, thats how you have to think of it.

But, the previous arc relied on their being separate instanced areas for player characters. This isn't just a simulated world but runs more like actual MMOs- sometimes. And sometimes it is a simulated world.

I think its one of those shows where its best not to look too closely at the world building because it wouldn't hold up.

I think with vr games in anime what happens is that npcs have like AI intelligence, not only having a programed set of tasks so think of it kinda like chatgpt.

I'm sorry, pressing play on the Theme Song Button does not automatically make it exciting when the big climax of your season finale is “A small child gets yelled at and walks a bit away from town, only to turn around and start walking back.”
