I played my first game last night and while I wanted to grab Sazabi because that's my style I let everyone else pick since I had no experience and ended up picking Methuss and it was a good time. Bummed Marasai is a suit you gotta unlock because he's who I really want to play.

Getting used to the hook/stab combo was pretty weird because you end up stabbing past your target if you do it how it works in say OW. Gotta backpedal a bit as you reel em in.

The only thing that annoys me about melee Zaku is the smoke thing because I'm always tossing my hook right at that moment. I've never really had much of an issue with any Barbatos I've come across but it could just be running Marasai. Kinda sucks the objectively inferior OW2 dropped and sapped the playerbase but I did get a few matches last night that had mostly the same people and they were super close and fun.

RBA Starblade posted:A sniper shot down a Guntank and I thought I was safe to stand behind him to pick him up, since I was taking up less space I didn't realize for a few matches that not only did they make Blizzard's mistake of putting a sniper into a mostly close to medium range game but they also made the mistake of giving him a movement ability to get to a perch or escape. At least it's nowhere near as bad as a personal hookshot.

It's dumb I can't hook people out of their ults.dogstile posted:Years of overwatch has taught me that most people really don't understand how dumb snipers are until they see them played at top level where sniper players are regularly doming the people that are diving them. I've only had maybe one or two snipers that were consistent at headshotting for it to take over a game but just body shots softening people up for easy clean up is annoying enough.

There's not much you can do about your teammates not waiting for respawns or grouping up to push - outside of stacking with friends I'm the only person I've seen in my games waiting on respawns or to group up instead of trickling in one by one.

Domination is the best mode wth. Pretty much the only matches my stack have ever won are on it. I had no clue there was an "he's/she's/they're on fire" mechanic in this game since I guess people had only barely had it on their portraits on the scoreboard so I didn't notice before. Stack mate and I were both fully "on fire" and we still ended up losing somehow.

Yeah Exia is the most mobile suit and it's smaller so more of a pain than Zakus. Exia is the suit I dread most playing against even when I'm running Marasai. GM's shield bash should stun like the hated Brigitte. The knockback isn't bad but then these fuckers just dash away.

I can spend the whole match in evo time and get all the gold medals on my team, but then the enemy pale rider gets it anyway It was my first MVP since switching to GM and it was especially great because two stackmates each play one of the Zakus and one of them almost always gets it.

Last night on Missile Base we barely capped both points within the time limit and the enemy team rolled over us so we had a minute and change in bonus and they had almost 7 minutes. I figured it's going to be a quick loss since we could only capture the first point in the time limit but we held them off from capturing any of the second point to pull out the draw. Felt better than any win I've had and I had two MVP games earlier in the day.

Even getting pinned on Harbor because the enemy sniper could hit shots and ours couldn't didn't feel as bad. I was holding my own pretty well as GM but there were so many times where I was one shot off finishing him before he could get me. Kwolok posted:Melee has made me stop playing. Honestly its cool in terms of gundam but an absolute mess in terms of balance. The game can't survive. They could nerf him again. That's a possibility.

Zomborgon posted:I mostly have a problem with barb when it gets me in situations where it really feels wrong, like when it does the downward strike and kills me when I am on a ledge and remain above its head the whole time, or the charged strike hits despite me dashing way to the side and behind it (whereas when I'm the barbatos, I can I have clipping into their leg and they just stand there and murder me) Yeah this is a big part of the frustration for me - dodging his poo poo and still getting stunned because of the delay. I've died a whole bunch of times when I've escaped around a corner when I shouldn't still be getting hit by lasers which is a pain but doesn't feel anywhere near as bad.

Gundam is a better game than Overwatch and a lot of the gameplay mistakes are things they cribbed from OW. The map aesthetics are bland and is something that made me not interested in the game during the network test period since you mostly feel like you're human sized but the actual design of the maps is better and map design was always OW's biggest weakness. I can't think of a single change OW made over the years that didn't make the game worse so hopefully Bandai doesn't repeat that mistake. For balance changes that haven't been mentioned I'd say increasing the hitbox of Sazabi's tomahawk should be in there. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Oct 21, 2022 |

I think this is the norm now because there's a Warzone player who puts together compilations of him killing streamers and so many comment on him being KBM. It's lame because KBM is the proper FPS controls but if some people get an advantage I'll take it for a bigger pool of players.

Nehru the Damaja posted:I ran into an unusual amount of GM players scoring an unusual amount of G-Maneuvers during my matches last night. I'm not saying anyone is cheating, but is there some new legit strategy or possibly an exploit that's got popular with him? Usually when I see a bunch of people doing the same thing in an online game in a short span, it's a streamer's doing. Like Kild said you farm ult pretty fast with det pack - either through people being dumb or good placement. The best I've ever done from setting it at the enemy door is like 10 percent but tossing it behind enemies in corridors usually ticks up your G charge quite a bit. He can also 1v1 a good chunk of the cast so you can farm it up clicking heads. I don't know if any streamer with a sizable viewership plays this they all went to OW2 when that dropped and the few people that make content for this game on YouTube mostly play the flashier suits from what I get recommended. edit: drat I say that and this gets posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cc_saD_2Lo Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Oct 31, 2022 |

They'll never do it and it doesn't work due to no boosters, but I'd probably play overwatch again if they put in a dash system. Since there's no crossplay I think it's dead as console release won't boost the playerbase for us. It was at 1000 primetime on a Saturday. Really bums me out because it's the one online game I really fell in love with and I wasn't even looking at it until after release because like I said I'm not an anime guy so wasn't into Gundam as a franchise.

The bad part about the stomping is because the playerbase is so low and you're stacking at all you keep coming up against the same enemy stack if you don't wait a bit before queueing again. Even when the playerbase was several times higher we once came against the same (neither full) stack three or four times in a row.

It was a combination of no marketing (I wouldn't have heard of it absent discord friends), Overwatch 2 coming out right after its release, poor monetization, no reconnection (which I thought was utterly insane but now found out the new COD lacks as well), and GM sniper/Barbatos I'd say mostly in that order. Really sucks because I rarely get hooked on a game nowadays but I loved it despite not being a Gundam guy at all. They fixed my biggest problem with OW which is that a shooter is a lot more fun when everyone is a shooter. Though it is funny that OW had the same issue where the game shouldn't have had snipers but they had them anyway because it's a thing FPSes have.

I think having Melee Zaku in would've been fine even with his (at the time) busted ult - the big problems were Barbatos and Sniper. I don't know if it would've saved the game since OW2 came along and ate up presumably most of the playerbase and streamers/audience. It's a shame I loved the game a lot and it's a lot better than OW even with its myriad of problems.

It's a shame how badly they fumbled this because it was a better game than Overwatch (and I played a stupid amount of OW in its prime) and was way way better than OW2 looked. Almost impressive how badly they managed to hosed it up with how good the actual gameplay was. They did get a bunch of money out of me since I bought like six gunpla when I had no interest in it before becoming a GM main.

The problem with the other Gundam games for me is they aren't FPS.
