Lmao got a couple more games in and learned that Zeta Gundam sort of sucks and a total blowout, had no games where someone didn't quit/crash, one other loss, and one draw in extended overtime because someone quit/crashed (probably crashed)

I'll probably try again with Kampfer once then call it there, this sucks no game can keep a full team anymore

They rebalanced the game again lmao

Methuss now does even less damage and GM Sniper II "isn't winning enough" so it has more bullets on its sub and can use its vulcans more

Sure, whatever, who gives a poo poo lol

Why would they even release a balance patch when the game is dead in like two weeks?

What a strange story this game is. A game that hit at the perfect time, seemed to strike gold, and had a huge initial following and then bled out its entire playerbase like a firehose because their response to various player issues and grievances was about as rapid and responsive as continental drift.

It bled players because Overwatch 2 came out 3 weeks later lol. 20k player peak a week before OW2 and 7k player peak a week later.

The funniest patch was from like two months ago where they finally went "oh, Barbatos being able to one shot people isn't particularly fun or engaging" and nerfed it after a year of it existing in that state.

I know I, and most of the people I knew who gave it a try, probably would have stuck around longer if you could earn more than two suits a season without paying and it felt like the devs gave a single iota of a poo poo. But up until I quit the only changes they made involved nerfing suits like the marasai because you know, a two or three hit combo is just way too strong when half the other suits were just one shotting everyone and weren't made of wet paper.

The monetization scheme was one of those player issues that they never addressed, though for that one I'm willing to cut them some degree of slack because it was probably a mandate from their marketing overlords.

The monetisation was entirely why I stopped playing.

Suit balance was fine, barb stopped being a pain against good teams and I'm sadly used to snipers being snipers

But gently caress the suit buying poo poo

If you're only looking at Steam Charts it was on consoles too, but there was a moment where streamers swapped over then pretty quickly gave up on it

Yeah it was a combination of the two bad suits scaring off new players, monetization, and the round format. A shame they'd made a better game than OW and OW2 and managed to fumble it.

Also remember that ranked didn't work unless you swapped to asia + hosed your ping and that just killed any chance at a western scene for this game.

I loved the game for s1 but being able to accidentally gently caress up and spend the free suit currency, lovely monetization overall, and na dying out made me uninstall even though I bought the s1 bp

Game got me back into gundam after forgetting about it for a very long time, watching shows and buying gunpla, so it was a very successful advertisement.

It is honestly very funny to me that they actually had a series running while the game was up and never even tried to do any kind of promo outside of like a spray and a weapon deco. That kind of feels like a surefire thing you do with a licensed live service game. Instead they went and revived the SD Gundam game for a new DLC instead.

an esports game that had next to no esports investment, an advertisement that did not advertise the show currently airing, and a cancelled game that still saw active development and new content right up until the very end

gundam evolution was a game that defied common logic
