> Excellent series overall. The creator does an excellent job of building a new narrative distinct from the original, and the characters have a lot of chemistry together. If you're a fan of riffing on games for inconsistencies and irrational actors, you'd probably enjoy watching this.

> Yeah, this series is great. It's fun to watch if you haven't played the game, but even better if you have. It's its ownself-contained intelligent story, but at the same time inspired by/parodying the original.
> **u/traverseda** [+3] *With dread but cautious optimism* (18 seconds later)
>
> I appreciate the social commentary later on. The setting is a feudalistic-captitalist dystopia, and they make good use of it to perform social commentary.
>
> Episode 4 is when it really starts being acceptable.

> Seen this before, but I may watch it again. Really fun show.
> **u/Bowbreaker** [+2] *Solitary Locust* (19 hours later)

> Is there any more stuff like this? Games where the narrative is exchanged for a funny yet consistent alternative I mean.

>> Abridged series. The absolute funniest of which is probably Sword Art Online Abridged, which turns the main character from a one-dimensional heroic archetype to an unloveable but hilarious total asshole who experiences such wonders as character development.
>>> **u/gabbalis** [+1] (2 days later)

>>> Pfffff no, the best abridged series is Helsing Ultimate abridged. Which is more or less the same but with Nazis instead of character development.

>>>> Okay. I will concede. Helsing Ultimate Abridged is *funnier*, but Sword Art Online Abridged is *better*, with more emotional range and story salvaged from some frankly pretty bland source material.

>> Not that I can recommend. If you're interesting in *finding* some, you might try going through the tvtropes page on [abridged series](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheAbridgedSeries).
