My reasoning is basically, it's way easier to talk a lot about terrible shows but mediocrity can result in a real struggle to say something interesting.

Would you rather talk about G Reco or something objectively terrible like 0083. Outside these forums that show has a much bigger fanbase.

If IBO was really as antiwar as people pretend it is it wouldn't end with Mika and Akihiro getting heroic deaths right out of the Cult of Heroism playbook

I think I have the same issue with Char's Counterattack tbh, in regards to Amuro anyways.

OTOH I think I like what that movie does with Char.

Yeah but CCA isn't really trying to present itself as an antiwar work, it's a drama about a pair of characters destroying everything around them because of their relationship, war is just a backdrop used to tell that story. People talk about IBO like it's Come And See, but with robots.

I would absolutely prefer to watch and talk about 0083. It's not even a comparison between the two, 0083 has enough that I love that I can forgive the romance plot.

The weird thing about that chart (which is totally ridiculous) is that even among people who don't like G-Reco they at least agree that the show had some really nice looking Cool Robot designs. That being said, I feel like Gundam is at it's core a marriage between War is Bad and Cool Robot and trying to separate those two into a single line like that as if they were in opposition to each other kind of misses that Gundam is both and embraces both fully.

0083, in a heartbeat.

G-Reco has a lot more risk of people saying you just don't understand it when you criticize it, and that's seldom material for a good conversation. 0083, everyone's at least able to agree what happened, even if they won't admit it's stupid as hell.

I played the demo/open beta. It's definitely a Gundam Breaker game!

Despite the "New" tag it's ostensibly just another sequel.

Apart from killing Iok their last stand accomplishes nothing. Everyone else had escape long ago, the bombardment goes ahead as scheduled. Hush dies what is essentially a gag death highlighting how hollow and meaningless the whole exercise actually is.

Mika and Akihiro have lost, are lost, and all they have left is to keep fighting and killing. Hashmal's tail is back and it's enjoying itself thoroughly.

G-Reco no question, since it's a good show that had a lot to say while 0083 is just bland mush.

That only really happens when the complaint is that G-Reco doesn't make sense.

Someone in another thread that I forget (maybe PS4 over in Games) mentioned that you can only pick up five parts at once before having to drop what you're doing and go deposit them if you want to pick up anymore and any interest I might have had deflated real quick. Well, that and the dating sim stuff which just seems out of place and rote.

It finished airing on Toonami more than a month ago.

I'd appreciate a bit more courtesy on that count too, but it has finished its run.

Yeah, it was me. Don't get it. It's extremely tedious collecting parts, and there's some performance issues. Also in the missions I've played so far the bin you have to deposit your 5 collected parts in randomly disappears and respaws somewhere else on the map.

Romes128 posted:

Man, I'm so disappointed in New Gundam Breaker. For a game about building custom robots they made part collecting incredibly tedious to the point it got really annoying after about an hour. You can only bank 5 parts and have to find a bin to dump them in (where you can get hit out of the part dumping process) to keep them at the end of the mission. So you basically have to stop what you're doing every 45 seconds to dump parts just so you can pick up 5 more parts and repeat. Also the missions are timed so you can't do it at your own pace. There's also random pausing and stuttering during some missions.

It's a huge step back from Gundam Breaker 3 where you just smashed robots, collected however many parts you wanted to, upgraded your robot, then return to smashing robots.

e;

The Amazon reviews are starting to come in and it's at a 1.5. Read those to get a better sense of everything wrong with NGB.

The GOTY equivalent for it(with all the DLC on disc) can be gotten off Amazon for a decent price

Amazon has the English sub version of 3 with all the dlc. It’s called the Breaker Edition. It’s where I got mine.
