The Swordburst Trilogy: Where Did it Go Wrong? - Part 1
#roblox #swordartonline #swordburst
grinded this one out because i felt bad about the hiatus before: noticed in post production that i forgot to do some pngtuber shit in the later portions of the vid but since it took like 8 hours to render i hope this can be overlooked, my apologies.
you ask and you shall receive! In this video i go over not only the latest installment in the swordburst franchise, but completely dissect the trilogy as a whole, identify some of the flaws that were present as early as the first game that have continued and made the project the current mess so many people have expressed shock and dismay at today. we will take a look at what happened then to cause the disappointment of swordburst 3 now, and try to pinpoint what exactly caused everything to go so wrong.
if you like the video, consider sharing it or just leaving a like, helps a ton. thank you everyone! part 2 is going to get started immediately, but just know it may take a little longer given i actually have to play world // zero and swordburst 3 now to get a more concrete understanding besides just public reception. i don't have much time these days to game as much as i used to so please bear w/ me as i work on the second/hopefully last part of this huge analysis/review/thingy.

    I've come to understand that Rouge is strictly a PvP game with very little emphasis on exploring, questing, or PvE. You progress, and then thats it. Now go kill others, especially the newly spawned players/slight progressed players. You might think otherwise if you're playing for the first time, all the wonder and excitement about being somewhere new or doing something new goes away eventually. Also forget even trying to play the game just by yourself, you will be hunted and ganked down by houses, especially if you manage to kill one of your pursuers. Also the game is very meta, despite there being like 12-16 Ultra Classes, you only ever see like the same 2 or so.

    Here's my take on some of the things you brought up. I don't necessarily disagree with you entirely, as there are definitely some issues with the game, but I think you just didn't get a full grasp of some of the systems. - Worldbuilding. There is an in-lore reason why your character looks DIFFERENT then the NPCS actually and I find it really cool. Essentially, the player character and the in-game humans are not the same. Players are instead known as the immortal "Dissonant" which were created by Aeon after the song. Aeon's goal in creating the dissonants is to stop the song, which is how the rebirth system comes into play. The Temple of Curia (which is where you rebirth) is only open to you after having achieved max mana and level 50. This happens because Aeon creates you for power, and you sacrifice yourself back to Aeon to be rebirthed to gain more experience come back and the whole thing again. For the different areas, you did not explore the game fully and that is a flaw in your review. Every area had something different to add to the world, there were actually two different ruined cities known as Etrae The Hanging Village and debatably the Lunarian Reservoir, which to be honest I consider it to be just a normal city. The different areas that the game has to offer are all so strikingly different, the 3 different branches from The Gray Garden are already so distinct. - Mana. So during the game's launch, mana was actually an artifact. Just HAVING mana itself was a rarity, and spells were even more rare, however after a month or so of gameplay people started to get fussy about the spell book and mana crystal rates so it was upped which is why it feels like a necessity since everyone else has it. Again, lore reasons. - Combat. Levels never mattered, gear never mattered, although you could progress your weapon through finding the adequate trainer and paying for skills the only thing that really determined your fighting capability was your own skill. Especially with getting health on kill, bossraiding wasn't limited to your build and was based on your capability to handle X number of opponents which is something that I really liked. PvE combat is definitely flawed due to the rogue system but it's not really the main aspect of the game anyways. - Lore. This game, unlike other rogue copies, actually felt alive back in the day because of the lore and player interactions to be had. Besides just Terra and Lunarians, there's a lot more to the lore like Moralities, Daemon, Worms, Traveler, Vows, etc. These aspects made your character feel like they strangely fit in with the world, along with all the other weird people you would meet in the gray garden. Speaking of people, talking to people is one of the game's greatest treasures. Especially when you're new, finding new areas with people and fighting tough battles together in the world is one of the best experiences the game has because it makes everything else feel that much more alive. You have friends and enemies, paths and roadblocks, goals and differing beliefs. It's hard to replicate now days when the game is super dead, but back when the game would average 400 players, seeing somebody that you never thought you would meet again.. defending themselves from the threats of the forgotten lands, seeing them run and fight for themselves, is something that I can't describe. The game plays off your experiences with others, your experiences with the world, and mixes the two into a stew that I just can't get enough of. I'll leave this here since I honestly forgot about the points that brought my attention

    The bosses in sb3 are super inconsistent. Some bosses are just brain dead stand and hit with all of their attacks designed to miss by default. Or it could be a boss with mostly slow attacks that made dodge rolling irrelevant with 1 or 2 big moves that by themselves doesn’t offer much in terms of forcing players to learn to manage tempo and resources (mana, stamina), the worst cases of all are the ones with broken target tracking that will spin out of locked animations once the players has dodged its attack, making dodging impossible and forcing the players to either abuse glitches or find a sizable enough party when most other players seldom desires to socialize outside of the merchanting world. The devs however are able to genuinely make good PVE combat though as demonstrated by the Galiard (purple sword wolf) 2nd boss on floor one. It’s moves are telegraphed by unique animations before the indicator patterns show up on the ground, if the players only started to evade from the indicators alone, they’ll either need to use more stamina till it runs dry or won’t make it out in time, the boss also had consistent combos that punished players for dodging in wrong directions with sufficient amounts of damage and status effects.

    I started playing lore game when I broke my leg and had to stay in bed for a long while. I think that really help me get into the game, I had nothing better to do so might as well check another corner, look on another rooftop. There could be something there, and most of the time there was. And I really loved that. At that time I hadn't really played a game on Roblox that had so many secret areas. If you look at it as mmorpg it will fail its more of a exploration game with hints combat. Because I think the meat of the game is not the combat but the world it self. After playing it for months while my leg healed I still kept on find secrets, new areas, new mechanics and many, many accessories and gears. I think that exploring became my quest after a short while and that's what kept me going. Lore game encouraged it by not having all its items in one place, if you want the drip you have to find the drip master or else you'll be dripless. But yeah after I found all the areas I could in the game I still played for while but I eventually quit. I don't think that makes lore game bad by any means, but I just wish there was more. Lore game will forever be one of my favorite games on Roblox.

    Lack of any actual innovation and even not having the standards of todays games is the main reason why swordburst 3 is failure. Even most generic anime bandit beaters have mechanics like blocking and parrying, i frames dashes and anything that makes gameplay feel little bit more interesting and engaging. Sb3 lacking those makes it feel really boring and just straight up bad. Games on roblox changed and standards are going up and only thing keeping sb3 is a name of its predecessors and the economy i guess? Previous sb games might not suffer from this because roblox games used to be small minigames before but now they wouldn't be anything special.

    8:02 yes, yes it was Rogue lineage's world is based on the prequel called "Rogue Survival" which was a closed access game more based on the roleplay parts of the world for example (im recalling this off memory, take this with a grain of salt) the trainers or most skills you could earn were deals made with actual players playing as lore characters that were given these roles (like the devs) it was a very small community and never received attention because that part of the game was never released then one of the devs had an idea to make rogue lineage, which would be a paid public release of what we know today (also they removed sharks before releasing rogue lineage 💔)

    Honestly, I don't have a problem with your sporadic post history, and I think it's totally fine if you take a break or two, especially considering this isn't your actual job. I just you have as much fun making the videos as we have watching them. I'm also in uni, so I know how stressful it can be at times. Although my arrival on the platform was contemporaneous to SBO's initial release, I played surprisingly little of it. It was SBO II which I devoted the most of my time to by a long shot, though in my case I've always had a short attention span and would play games I was interested in religiously for ~2 weeks with month or year long intervals of hiatuses scattered in between. So while I can't call myself an enthusiast of the genre, I had some emotional stake in its success and failure. In the case of SBO II, its flaws were fairly obvious from first inspection, even to the uninitiated player. Just looking at the empty unappealing grassy plains on the first floor told you half of what the experience was going to be, the second half being conveyed immediately you attempted to fight one of the boars there. Even still, for its time it was good enough for you to turn off your brain, click your mouse, and watch the numbers on your screen go up. It was almost therapeutic just how little cerebral activity was required to play the game. That grinded to a sudden halt when I realized I had been killing mobs for more than 1 hour and had only managed to level up once. After that, I suddenly didn't have the mental stamina to play anymore. I haven't played Roblox (or any games, honestly) in any consistent fashion since the Coronavirus hit, so the release of SBO III was news to me. Looking at the oversaturated color pallete and claustrophobic impact effects from the clips in the video, however, I intend to keep my relationship between myself and the game strictly news based. I'll still watch the second video though, if only to commiserate and/or get a good laugh.
