[@Darth1Marik]

As a veteran who played the first game for years and now having played this one since release I'd say in all honesty it's hard to recommend. There's a fantastic game here but unfortunately it's buried beneath a pile of issues. The game is definitely a huge step above the first game. Everything bad about this game was almost 5 times worse in the first one. The stun meta however persists from the first game which really hampers it's potential and the devs refusal to buff other weapons makes the stun into melee meta the ever dominant force in the game. The constant connection issues, people rage quitting and team attacking. The harsh punishing penalty system that does not discriminate any type of disconnect and treats it all as a rage quit. Some MS which vastly outperform others while they preach balance in the game, the saturated pool of weapons especially in the two star category. MS and weapons staying far too long in the lottery pool. The game is not pay to win but it most certainly has very predatory gacha mechanics. The Rating system just fails on every level. Why have a system of matchmaking that uses a flat number that is not indicative of skill when the game tracks performance statistics across the multiple modes of play? Why not use those stats to matchmake instead? This way you'll be not sortied with garbage teams as often. Improve the quick chat communication as it's either largely ignored or blatantly missed by blind players. I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on the game, I played the first one for years and I've religiously played this one. I love the style and mechanics of the game but my god all the issues it has really hampers the experience. I just want to be brutally honest for new players on what to expect. I'd honestly give this game a 4.5/10. As I said there's potential for an amazing game but it's held back by issues the devs refuse to address and suffers from gacha greed. A great game for Universal Century fans but be ware of toxic players and all sorts of connection issues. Take this game with a grain of salt and maybe only play a few matches per day.

[@ryoma0045]

That's a perfectly honest opinion of the game which touches on all the issues that plague GBO2. For a casual player that may just enjoy Gundam and want to play a few matches to see what it's all about I think it's ok, especially if you play Code Fairy so as not to deal with online shenanigans. But for the more competitive players they really do need to address a lot of these complaints that, like you say, have been around and gotten worse since the original game. I login, do my dailies and try not to worry anymore which isn't the best attitude to have but at this point and with Bandai Namco looking towards their newer releases I don't think we'll get any improvements unless a new GBO comes out.

[@animatoraoi3672]

I was first hyped for this to release on steam but now I kinda disappointed I also heard from other players that it also paid to win and stuff in game player had issues with some of the mobile suit stats like the Jesta when they are suppose to be elite that can hold their own against something op like a gundam and the stuns because of melees also would be annoying and knowing it from experiences with other games wouldn’t like it Ngl I never played this yet if they just resolve the issues and just stop lazing around maybe it be more than a cash and grab game

[@Darth1Marik]

1. Mobile suits. 2. Space missions. Cons. 1.Janky controls even after configuring then to your play style. 2. Configuring doesn't matter when actions are delayed do to lag... Same goes for dodging. 3. Hit box, Lag. Shots that miss you still hit you on four bar connections. This applies to tackles and melee attacks as well. Dodges will be delayed on your side. It may looked like you dodged but you didn't...( EVEN WHEN YOU DID) 4. Meta-types Like newtypes only they don't have special abilities and just plays the meta which are Ms that are good at stunning the enemy to death. This is a team game, their is no I in team you can't handle more than one MS, especially if there using meta, you might get lucky, chances are you won't. 5. Team based game This game heavily depends on teamwork Most players dont have that, I've been playing for years, however from what I understand quick match and rated are pretty cancerous as they contain the same about of people who deem themselves ace pilots but play like ass... Often going off alone pretending their the red comet, or commanding the team with chat also while not doing much themselves, they are useless. 6. No in game chat... But based on the messages I get on PSN from playing this game win or lose, I see no reason why anyone would enjoy whiny teammates on the mike... Unless you know multiple people and not just randoms, other chat systems would work but with randoms it will only ruin your day. 7. No servers just peer to peer system. A good way to disconnect and earn penalties when you DIDN'T disconnect. P2P is also to blame for so much lag even on a four bar connections, it's even worse with PS5. 8. Friendly-fire-types Like newtypes, but focus only on friendly fire especially if your playing with a random that doesn't like anything you do... Even if your helping the best you can. 9. Gatcha machine. Use it to get MS but instead gives you a weapon for an Ms you don't have... Banner Ms even when guaranteed also still do not drop. I've heard people use money to get more tokens only to bearly get anything good... Making it a waste of time. 10. Ground missions meta. Shot weapon at or near MS, = stunned, now times that with five other or even two enemy units who do the same thing... That toppled with the fact of no teamwork and your having a bad time. Space is easy to me, makes the meta harder to use... 11. Maps The same three maps been rotated over and over, old maps never glanced at again unless it's custom match. 12. Brawl match. A battle royal mode without the fun considered your Ms can only handle one enemy at a time and most just go for the one with most points making it just a rotation. Ranting 2/10. Games not fun

Gacha is nothing but a lie.

I'm a huge fan of giant Mechs in general. Some of you maybe too young to know about Armored Core, but that was the best Mech Sim game and still is in many ways. However, when I played MSGBO2 I realized the game felt more realistic than even Armored Core, and that's saying a lot. You can literally feel the weight of your mobile suit when you pilot it. You can feel the size when you get out to capture points or repair your suit. Its because of MSGBO2 that I understand why insects stay still when we humans are close by. You really feel the scale when in close contact with an enemy Mobile Suit. I really hope this game gets improved on with the graphics especially in the character models. The Mobile Suits look and sound great, the character models feel lack luster. Overall, this game is the best Players vs Players Mech Game ever.

Game could be a contender for some serious competition if the netcode and balance were a bit more on point. Knockdown needs a heavy duration nerf. Otherwise the gameplay is addicting AF but hella hard learning curve. A bit issue for new players is that the quick matches are generally pub stomps by higher level players using the OP suits and have weapon attack combos down to muscle memory.

Not gonna lie. This looks pretty fun, though I've been stomped in every Gundam game I've ever played.

It can be pretty demoralising getting absolutely steamrolled, but if you can stick with it and get used to the mechanics there's a great deal of fun to have.

For example search for BeefandMilk on Twitch, he's a great guy who plays and often does community custom matches but has a excellent discord group that has people from all over the world talking about the game, gunpla and other Gundam related stuff.

It can be quite annoying from what I've seen. Personally I've not had any issues or penalties so I'm quite lucky, but considering how easy it is to acquire due to disconnecting during a match through a bad connection or the servers going bad it's not great. As long as you have a good speed, stable connection and don't manually quit out of matches you should be fine.

[@ryoma0045]

You can, though the requirements for joining parties is quite unknown.

It's not guaranteed however and can be a pain to sort out and get working.

With all due respect. No. And by "No" I mean "Hell no". Players are more toxic than games like COD:WZ, Fortnite, and even Xenoverse 2. The gameplay is misleading as 9/10 battles are you begging teammate to save you and you get bullied by the enemy. Teammates are genuinely out to kill you just as much as the enemy is and if you get that one in a million player who carries, supports, and is friendly. You'll never be seeing them again. The other players are often out for themselves so you're on you own in a 1v2 or 1v5 and because the devs haven't made getting to a certain rank or level is much of a milestone outside of tokens for more repeats and tickets for suits you likely have already, people can and will Smurf(Making a new ACC and using it to beat up on newbies like its Freshman Friday while also soaking up free tokens that are used to start new players off on the gacha system.) Worst of all is the connection. Dodge all you want, you'll still take damage. I-Frames are a lie in this game, hit boxes are wonky af, and the peer to peer connection makes it even worse. What's even worse is that MS are built to stunlock and stop you from being able to play. Suits locked behind a pay wall sometimes. Because the gacha system is programmed to screw everyone out of their money, you'll spend on a full step up and get a lackluster MS or wonder why you went for it so hard. Please DO NOT play this game or encourage others to play. At the very least don't spend money on it. If w show our disdain then maybe they'll fix or make a third game that is actually good and doesn't hide flaws behind graphics, a large roster, and flashy ads. Because if the put as much effort into making it good then I wouldn't have to bash one of my favorite Japanese franchises.
