Everytime I see even an inkling of it's existence, I feel sad.
You can still play it in side 7 fan servers
I find it strange Bandai dumps money into everything Gundam except for video games
>>740054934It's not like there are a lot of outlets, it's anime and plastic toy
>>740054269Don't feel sad when barbatoid one shot you with exploit
>>740054269>inklingThere goes that buzzword again
>>740054934Anime games probably make most money when you make them cheap as possible. Those interested will buy it regardless of quality, so no point in putting money and time in to making those
>>740054269guntank woo :(
>>740054870>have to use discord and to join gamesDisgusting.
I wanna go back...
>>740054269>Overwatch with mecha skinsThis game was the exact opposite of what a Gundam game should be. It didn't even have a decent sense of scale, let alone the tone of the setting.
>>740057359Guntank was my boy...
I had one of these games for the PS2, confederates vs zion or some shit, anyway I liked how the game had all these bots but it was still fairly grounded and you got to get a feel for each of their relative strengths and weaknesses. I played another one more recently and it was like all wacky over the top fairy bots that all felt the same and floated around with no regard for anything and the old clucker tank bot was flying around blasting massive lasers at the hyper complex samurai bot that looked 1000 years more futuristic and it was super fucking gay.Is there more games like the PS2 one where everything is more grounded or is it all floaty zoom-zoom shit nowadays?
>>740054269What I really, REALLY, liked about it, was that everyone was viable. You could 1v1 whoever, roles didn't really exist.
>>740058314Sorry man you're out of luck when it comes to the grounded tone for games. Bandai has an inexplicable refusal to invest in Gundam games despite having a strong stable of developers and the ones that do come out are basically just designed to sell some line of plastic models.
All they had to do was make it possible for multiple grunt units
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NOT LET AUSSIE ON THE SERVERS!?!?!?!?FUCK YOU BANDAI I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A REAL COLONY DROP LOOKS LIKE
>>740058413That's a shame, I really did like that PS2 one, I loved the blue bot with the whips, it was my favorite. Its cost was low but I could easily go toe to toe with the most expensive bots using that one.
>running around the backline with ranged zaku tracking heads until you get noticed, smoking off to a medkit and doing it all over again up until you get ult and cut some poor dude in half so much fun
I liked the game but there were extremely obvious balance issues that they absolutely refused to address like Exia being comically broken and mahiroo being unusable dogshit, but they did nothing about either and hey let's also nerf Marasai and Turn A for no reason
>>740058643I'll die mad about the marasai nerf
>>740058314if you want slow gundam game there is GBO2or Code Fairy if you want single player GBO2
It was pure kino bros.. we don’t know how good we had it
>>740054269this hoe was ass.
>>740057738and it's somehow a top 5 gundam game... crazy...
Play Another Century Episode instead
>>740054269>Zaku was TF2 Scout but with headshots (and Sniper's SMG) too bad I broke my arm while this was out, basically couldn't play it at all. I mainly played the gorilla hammer robot and mindlessly raped everybody but found my niche as a heal bitch as the Hyakushiki(?) I think the healing tethers being so inflexible were more fun than the forgiving Medigun from TF2
>>740059414Those games suck.
I loved the game, and while it did have flaws, people complaining about barbatos simply did not know what they were doing. melee zaku however was overpowered when it came out
I still despise GM sniper on a logical and mechanical basis
>>740058856GBO2 is for masochists
>>740059823barbatos was the biggest example of a scrubkiller class in any game i've played in recent memory. class that kills you instantly except the way he kills you instantly is counterable by reacting with something every single class can do (dash)
>>740057738TRVKE
>>740059667Still better than an overwatch clone
>>740058856>Get knock down>5 seconds to stand up>knock down againWhat fun
They should have hired fromsoftware to make another gundam game after AC5 success to ride the coat tail.
>>740060362except it's not really an overwatch clone because it didn't really have true tanks and supports that you have to navigate before you are actually allowed to kill people and the game is built around a universal mobility option so it's way more dynamic (read: fun)it's a small-team hero shooter that has ults that's it
>>740054269such a waste they outright turned the servers off. Sad.
>move at light speed in anime>>move at human speed in game>uhhmm actually that's not how Gundam work
>>740060558Fromsoft has never made a good Gundam game.
>>740054269I never understand why companies have to be so retarded when it comes to monetization. You pick your option. You don't do everything.
>>740060571>small-team hero shooter>overwatch cloneSame garbage
>>740054269I really, really, really enjoyed my time with Turn A and clicking heads with RX78. Too bad Bamco is fucking retarded.
>>740058856today I will remind them
>>740060596https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKr8Bhlriic&list=WLwrong you are fucko
>>740060558I want to see /v/ crying when fighting against whatever the equivalent of Balteus in Gundam
>>740054269It's just one in a long line of abandoned Gundam games that got strangled before they could achieve their full fruition.
>>740060718Not watching your video. It's just a shitty ACE clone with none of the good parts.
>>740060676>barb player mindlessly runs at you because that's all barb can really do>press the armored command grab button as soon as they try to do their shitwhy did they give the marksman suit the best anti-melee tool in the game
>>740060932>Kill retard >Wow it's so OPYou forgot the last breath of this game is dominated by Zaku melee with spin to win ult.
>>740061000nah zaku melee got gutted before that, exia was still goodkampfer only got a month but he seemed pretty tight
Mecha multiplayer simply doesn't last. This and mechabreak are the best example
>>740061018Zaku was what get the tiny bit of players the game still had stop playing.
>>740057738>>740060331You motherfuckers better play GBO2 then.
>>740060554Said the shitter.
EXVS PC port never ever everever
>>740060558goated idea
It was fun, but it ran it's course pretty quick. Just wasn't that deep.>>740059827Preach
>>740062370>What if Widowmaker with no charge up>What if Hanzo with hitscanBravo fucking bamco
These were the type of skins they expecting goyims to buy
>>740054934For most of their existence, Bandai Namco has been a shitty company who survive based on the IPs they either outright have the rights to, or exclusive rights to make the games for.If you're older than 20 and like Japanese games there is a non-zero chance you will have some kind of beef with them. Either because they killed a franchise you liked with a shit entry, or refuse to make new stuff with an IP they're sitting on. They're called "Japanese EA" for a reason.The most popular and succesful Gundam game series ever has been held hostage in Japanese arcades for the better part of 25 years now because they refuse to modernize like other fighting games did over a decade ago. Even as arcades continually march towards their slow inevitable decline, they won't rock the boat.
Is the phone gacha any good?
>>740062515Hey don't forget about the limited time Red Comet skin
>>740063331>westerners seethe because they don't buy bamco games and thus don't get their games
>>740054269>People wasted their time and money on this Gundam overwatch slopI'm glad it died
>>740061260nta GB02 is decent but for me it's too far in the "grounded" direction. Doing anything at all feels like you're moving through molasses and any tiny mistake is met with grueling punishment and constant stunlock (skill issue I'm sure). I respect the game's commitment to that style though, even if it's not for meIf they did a game that's a less sluggish but with some of those weighty design elements, more customisation and less gacha or shoving in the popular AU suits for money I'd probably enjoy it
Crossbone soon.
>>740066537Play 700 or 750 cost. I can't keep up with the high speed monkeys in those costs. I'll take my slow-ass Zaku please, thank you.
>>740063331>If you're older than 20 and like Japanese games there is a non-zero chance you will have some kind of beef with themIt's closer to a 100% chance. They're genuinely more irritating than Ubislop and all the others that normies hate. Not to mention From Software now prefers them as publisher and now they're loading fucking kernel anti-cheats into half their games.
>>740054269do evofags play actual mecha games?
>>740062515Gundam Evolution has such a large disconnect where the monetization is complete dogshit but everything else radiates soul and is an absolute love letter to the series. It's a real shame, because if the guys in charge of monetization had even a fraction of passion about Gundam as some of the other devs it'd have been pretty kino. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL12lbaeXWg&list=PLzUr-HZ8rXGoT4ucODKSCyXKKpitlVVio&index=1Give the trailers a watch if you haven't yet.
>>740058314gbo2 is pretty grounded especially if you play low cost. playing ground types in mbon is also it's own kind of fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ygdGUyuNZI
>>740057263no you don't, not for many many many months.you link to your steam account, and it has matchmaking implemented. Still dead as shit wth less than 10 players 90% of the time but why lie?
>>740054269gundam evo threads here were so comfy, nice to see that hasnt changed
>>740057738you're not wrong, but i still loved it. it actually ended up being, in my opinion, the best overwatch clone out there
GUNTANK WOOOOOOOOOOOO!i still miss it to this day
>>740063331>they refuse to modernize like other fighting games did over a decade agLet's be honest here, every fighting game series except SF and Tekken (and now Tekken) has died a horrible death and some even reanimated as a shambling DEI corpse thanks to moving to consoles and the GLOBAL AUDIENCEGundam Vs has survived 25 years intact thanks to being Jap exclusive, and the only way to stay Jap exclusive is to stay off consoles.
As long as Bandai insists on making Gundam games in-house, we will never get a good Gundam game.So, yes. Massacre Bandai execs. Burn their offices to the ground. Elevate Tomino to the throne.
>>740071041https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GYNaLGMH7E
>>740071150The ONLY reason. And I mean the ONLY reason Gundam Vs is still in arcades, is because the shot-callers can't figure out a way to jew the playerbase out of money with equal or more efficiency than the "pay-per-play" arcade model; which necessitates that you need to spend a fuckton of money if you want to stay competitive (since you need to play often to practice, and will have to pay every time you do).There was an experimental game released about ten years ago called Rise of Incarnates that flopped catastrophically (from open beta to end of service in <12 months). The game itself was medicore but playable, but what really killed it was the shitty optics generated by the sleazy monetization and Pay2Win mechanics which made most prospective players nope the fuck out instantly.Bamco know it'll make a massive revenue gap and lack the competency to approach it in a way that won't be a ginormous dumpster fire.In fact, the only reason we got Maxi Boost On at all (and even then, at the time it was about 4 years out of date) is because COVID made their arcade profits crater and they needed to shore up the earnings to keep the shareholders happy.Gundam would do well if they weren't fucking stupid about it because it is a genuinely one-of-a-kind game that has no real competition, but I have no doubt Bamco would do something like make EXVS3 a PS6 exclusive game with a sub fee or some shit.
>>740073494reminds me of how konami tried putting bombergirl on pc using the same sort of exchange you'd have at the arcade where you bought tickets to play, and evidently it didn't work since within a year they ended up making it F2P insteadbamco probably don't want to experiment and end up having to do the same thing, so arcade-exclusive it is
>>740057738>>740058856This is such fucking garbage.We are never getting a good gundam game
>>740061260I tried and it DOES NOT FUCKING WORK.Out of probably a dozen or more attempts and hours of my life wasted I got 2 real matches.
>>740061290Troon melty>>740061260No thanks, I'm not trans
>>740062370Honestly this game revealed the main characters are jobbers with plot armor.
>>740069312i like armored coreGBO holds negative interest to me because clumsy slow action game sounds awful unless they gave it a lot of satisfying physicality which no clip of GBO has demonstrated for me >game that makes mobile suits fast and snappy to operate has little overlap with the game that makes mobile suits clumsy as shitshocking
