New Sword Art Online Game Has One Huge Problem Before It Even Launches

I know I'm not alone when I say that I want Echoes of Aincrad to be good, which is probably why the reaction to its demo is so hard to accept. Sword Art Online has always felt like one of the most obvious anime properties to turn into a great video game, especially when it goes back to the original Aincrad premise. A floating castle full of floors to clear, monsters to fight, weapons to master, and a death-game setup that already functions like an RPG should practically sell itself. And yet, before Echoes of Aincrad even launches, its demo may have already given the game one massive problem.
