Why the hate?

[Grape Ape]

I dont get it, why hate the game? I mean sure it has its flaws, but what game doesnt?

Cant we just be happy there is even a Gundam game on Steam at all? well... that you can control directly... as my parents told me growing up, Something is better than Nothing... so we can at least appriciate that?

as for Addons, Im sure someone will make a Addon to work on the controls lol, and spelling in Dialogue too!

Genre shift.
Mobas inherently cater to the different playerbase than Dynasty Warrior clones.
It's like releasing Call of Duty that is a racing game and then wondering why it's not successful.
I like NGB and I firmly believe it's a good game, but it never had a chance to not be hated by old Gundam Breaker fans.

NGB is a schizophrenic mess where the mechanics and core gameplay don't match at all.

For Gundam games on PC, ♥♥♥♥ man just emulate a Gundam Battle game or GVG Next Plus, PPSSPP is a hell of a drug. PCSX2 works great too, and RPCS3 is building up a pretty impressive library last I knew.

It's very different from previous Gundam Breaker games, and they removed a lot of features that I wish they didn't. Leveling up parts and making all parts viable being the big one. New Gundam Breaker makes me build similar Gunpla every time if I try to optimize my builds, because there's clear Best-Of-Class parts for most of everything.

The camera controls are also worse.

In a vacuum, NGB isn't a great game but it's not terrible either. It's a great Gunpla builder but the gameplay is floaty and leaves a lot to be desired.

In comparison to the series it came from, it's a downgrade in most aspects other than graphics and parts catalog.

And while I agree with the sentiment behind "Something is better than nothing" and say it often myself, you have to be careful with that mentality when dealing with businesses, as they can try to take advantage of that mentality to take advantage of you as a consumer. A lot of people feel that way especially when dealing with Japanese products exported worldwide. Sure, we'd rather get something than nothing, but the stuff we do get feels like table scraps every now and then. Sometimes there's a pattern that the stuff we get in the West is hated and does poorly in Japan.

Which can mean at least two conclusions... either they suck because they planned to sell it to the West, or they sold it to the West only because it sucked and they wanted to make more money back on their investment because they weren't happy with the money they got out of the Japanese Market.

This.

I guess you could argue that all the inconsistencies are because of the "New" in the game but you can't really excuse the really bad port. They, honestly, could've made SO MUCH MORE MONEY if they just did a proper port of Gundam Breaker 3. Or better yet, actually make New Gundam Breaker a worthy sequel.

I don't know how much they would really get with a GB3 port but I do really hope they either do port it or better yet just make a new Gundam Breaker game and bring back those features people want.

Leveling up parts would have added so much more value to making my own custom builds since I would worry less about stats and more about using what I like. I'd also like to see them let you equip your movesets onto parts rather than have them fixed.

why not try to get the devs to bring back the item leveling? worth a shot

[MoFuk MoGuns]

play gundam breaker 3 and you will know

PS3s are cheap, $50 or so for one and another $5ish for a copy of Gundam Breaker 2, and you'll have a much better game to play.

[Grape Ape]

is it on Amazon, or do I have to hunt it down?

Edit: Nevermind, I checked, alot of people still want 200+ for them... maybe next month

[atarashi515]

if you want to play send me friend request im new to the game

[KNDY です]

Having played Gundam games since the Sega Dreamcast to now, I enjoy all of them in their own way. But I think because I love Gunpla, I'm enjoy this game a lot.

[MEW魔幽流]

If you have a PC there are other options to play PS3 games like Gundam Breaker 2 which is great game with 1 downside its not in english but all the menu text is english.

[Grape Ape]

well... lets hope the Dev's read this, and fix their mistakes... would really boost their sales, and the games rating (even add a aiming point so we can see what the hell were shooting!)
