What went wrong?
>>23906234As usual, Yanase.
>>23906234Shit gameplay
The balance team. I played it from the very first alpha test to late season 1. I think overall like 5 or 6 balance changes. Every single one there was a literal tier 0 character. Obviously there always has to be a best and a worst, but this was something else. Some bots like Welkin just parked in that spot for months. Sometimes they would try to adjust it like Panther who for a while there during the betas went from bottom to top to bottom tier because of wild overcorrections. Just some overall really clownish decisions
>>23906267Objectively wrong
>>23906234Apparently the original team was replaced by a skeleton crew after multiple re-overhauls
>>23906292The slugs seem to be a mess of a studio behind the scenes in general to be honest. Some of the dudes have passion but man if their upper management isn't fucked.
>>23906302They are on the verge of collapsing, this game is a flop and their other game, which was one of their main revenue, is pretty much on soft EOS period because of the censorship and CCP crackdown drama.
>>23906307Supposedly they have another game in the works(that they likely pulled staff from both games to work on) but yeah, shit is tits up.
>>23906234It's not AAA Cosmic Break.
>>23906234Too much focus on coomshit.
>>23906234nothing really, the main gameplay works very nicely and is great funoh yeah and there's a minigame where you pilot a robot too, I don't really do much of that because the performance is crap on my rig
>>23906234Hero shooter
>>23906234Lack of a proper PvE mode. Some days, you just don't want to sweat it out. The intro mission made it seem like they'd eventually have a proper story/campaign mode that would be somewhat like Destiny; solo moments with some story and then a team boss battle.The Extraction PvPvE mode also sucks with camping griefers. Also P2W whales who just buy currency, convert it into in-game currency, and then buy high-end drops to outfit themselves with for Extraction mode.Balance is constantly out of whack.Too stingy with earnable currency; much like their other game, and compared to other gacha games.Also, they're being stalked by the CCP due to their company being reported repeatedly by Chinese Feminists for the sexy characters as well as rivals for making a good gooner game and having pushed anti-censor modding to their fanbase to get around Chinese censorship rules.
>>23907318All of this is completely wrong btw
>>23907318>Also, they're being stalked by the CCP due to their company being reported repeatedly by Chinese Feminists Snowbreak cultists keep repeating this, but do you think a country full of conservative old men would be swayed by screeching dipshit feminists? No, it's because the devs are dumbasses and flew too close to the sun by collabing with a government entity (China Post) while advertising literal porn in a country where porn is banned. That was their entire shtick: "we're the best gacha gooner game and proud of it, not like those other coward gacha gooner games!". Then oops, an in-game animation of a character giving an implied blowjob got onto national TV, and now the CCP couldn't turn a blind eye like they do with all those "coward" gacha gooner games, and to save face had to make an example of Snowbreak.It's funny to head into /vg/ and read the conspiracy theories about FEMINISTS when it was the devs own damn fault and now they're desperately trying to get refunds for removed content that they'll never get back kekOh and the game is shit too. Why the fuck is this even a shooting game when half the roster is "press E then Q to win".
>>23907843Because it's just another E Q spam swapslop at heart with shit tier gun mechanics. They are also awful at designing contents and balance, the powercreep is hilariously fucked up.
>>23907843China isn't the traditional paradise you pretend it is.
>>23911408That's because it's Chinese traditionalists, not American traditionalists. For every "right wing utopia" nation where they bash lgbt-whatever and restrict women's rights, it's also a "paradise" where pork is haram, they shit in the rivers and streets, and they wed 9 year olds because that's the way they've done it for thousands of years, god bless america
If it has "mecha" or "mech" in the title and isn't Mechwarrior, it's performative slop.
>>23906234ugly, "modern" and derivative mech designs (some are decent tho, but not most of them)Lack of an actual art style.ugly and grey graphics made with the UE default assets.Runs like shit.bitches were hot tho.
>>23907288>
A hero shooter with a mecha skin is still a hero shooter at the end of the day.Also I had to pay IRL money for something as simple as eye color and I uninstalled immediately.
>>23911436> and they wed 9 year olds because that's the way they've done it for thousands of years, This is a perk for them.
>>23906234It's not pre 2010's Chinkshit when they still have soul
>>23911622MechWarrior is pretty performative too
I want to like this game and the few sessions I had are pretty ok. But the game's at it's best when everyone did the pve side content. So I'm wondering why did they just focus on pve first?
>>23906234no gameplay loop
>>23906234live service shenaniganslack of PVEsame as most hero shooters attempting to capitalize on market trends.investors will always be the objectively worst part of games they invest in.
>>23915245>same as most hero shooters attempting to capitalize on market trendsEven as someone who gave up on this game, no. No midmatch swapping and no "press Q to awesome!" were both significant departures from games like Overwatch, Rivals, or Gundam Evolution that I really appreciated and I suspect hurt it in the broad audience.
The astroturfers were shitting on armored core while promoting this and now I can only laugh at the result
>>23906234Only PvP shit
>>23906234>be mech game>the designs and gameplay elements range from mediocre to questionable>astroturfing shills be like "how do you do fellow gamers check out this korean bimbo bitch I made in game."Wow, so stunning and brave, very pro-sex, let's see how it works out for them.
>>23906234I was interested in this but they didn't let me in any of the beta tests and then I saw it had a weird coom focus for absolutely no fucking reason on this genre of game so I lost interest. Then I read reviews over time and apparently it's not great, anyway.
>>23915383I'll never understand that shit. We live in an age of overwhelming access to porn at a moment's notice, why do you need everything in things that aren't porn to also look like a blow-up doll? And why do you then value that over the actual game?Some people are just too far gone man.
>>23915550korea and china has insane anti porn laws that's why wallpaper engine is popular in west taiwan.Really doesn't help mechabreak just got hit hard by the ccp for their gacha game.
>>23915617Alright, so maybe the Chinese and Korean players have an excuse then, but why the fuck are there people who speak English as a first language obsessing over it like they don't have easy access to actual porn?
>I don't like it so talking about it must be astroturfing and shillingthat's fucking funny not gonna lie
>>23915617LMFAO
>>23906234The cancelation of the PS5 release. That was a massive chunk of the potential players cut out from under them.
>>23915619>why the fuck are there people who speak English as a first language obsessing over it like they don't have easy access to actual porn?Have you ever heard of the gooner phenomenon?
>>23915619"just look at porn" is the weirdest fucking argument against fan service. I'll never understand the kids these days.
>>23917002Anon, don't play stupid. I'm not talking about conventional fanservice, I'm talking about people that'll spend time and often real money on making their off model sex doll Asuka awkwardly dance on a stripper pole in what is ostensibly a mech game.Pic related made up about half the images people were posting in one of /m/'s only threads about this game. Fanservice is fine, but I'm going to make fun of you if you obsess over a mediocre mecha title because you don't want to download an actual porn game to do this in instead.
>>23906234We got the most out of the betas. People decided not to play the release version because they paywalled a lot of stuff that was free in the betas.
I'm surprised that this game got popular enough to have its own line of girlpla. Not many games reach that point.
>>23917002Fanservice has to build a fan first. From its name you should be able to piece together it's not supposed to be a substitute for substance, but a supplement.I know that there are those who don't care either way but oftentimes if you experience some shit media that just has boobs in it there's some cognitive dissonance from someone who doesn't want to have a self-image as a shallow coombrain and so they might gaslight themselves into trying to say "no it's actually good."
>>23917113oh hey that's my pic lolNot my fault it's more fun than the supposed main gameplay, even if that's partially because I can't run that
>>23916959Even if the console sold a lot, I don't see it having that much of a playerbase compared to the PC version, Marathon is having this same problem, despite shills saying otherwise, 70% of the active players are on PC and said players number around only 10k.
>>23924992In mecha break's case, it's literally "the weebs majority in PlayStation, we first teased and previewed this game on PlayStation, and more people have PlayStations than they do Xbox, so why are we shooting our selves in the foot by not releasing on PS, but still releasing on Xbox?"
>>23924992>Even if the console sold a lot, I don't see it having that much of a playerbase compared to the PC version.Part of the reason the player base was dead was because the PC reqs were too high for most. Which is why most were waiting for it to come to ps5.
You can stop bumping your dead kusoge
>>23920466>its bad because it has boobs and i'm a raped feminist cuck
>>23929014>coombrain can't read nor think outside of black or whiteI've seen mobile game advertisements both 2D and 3D that makes me stop and go "holy shit" even though I am never going to install and play the the game attached to them. The build-a-sexdoll parts of this poorly managed shitfest isn't even good, that's the real kicker. It's bad because it IS bad, it's the same bland slop that pops up in the Steam store as a new game every other week. Anyone who obsesses something this fucking mediocre deserves to be laughed at.I swear some consumers these days think identifying slop is some kind of dishonest hypocritical act, no motherfucker it's called looking at the menu to see what you are being served.
>>23917231Why not just made the mechs?
>>23929896At some point it just becomes another form of virtue signalling for them.>>23932363Most of the game's designs, on top of not being particularly original, are greebled out the ass and full of shapes and surface detailing that'd be a total pain in the ass to turn into injection moulded plastic kits. Girpla based on robots is probably easier.
