MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2

“Broken piece of garbage: can't even play the game on the highest-end hardware without stuttering every second regardless of graphical settings; utterly unplayable. Disappointed in Bandai Namco for releasing such an unpolished mess that still runs like trash a year after release.”

“The game runs like trash on PC. It's a very poor port, like they didn't even consider mouse and keyboard. Navigating the UI is a pain and it's so poorly optimized for PC that even with a 2080 Ti, 32 GB RAM, and i7 CPU on a Legion custom 7 laptop, it runs so poorly it's unplayable. The game needs a real overhaul and optimization before it is playable on Steam.”

“The game's performance is terrible; I can barely get 60 FPS with an RTX 3060, which is utterly embarrassing. It's more like 15 to 33 FPS in the lobby and 30 to 45 FPS in battle.”

“This game is worse than a 2 decades old game, and with less content because it's only PvP, no story.”

“Sadly that's most of the pros, the game is gacha heavy and for me that's bad design, micro transactions, multiple in game currencies, poor matchmaking, bad server connections just sucks, and a clunky UI makes for some easy made mistakes but the biggest biggest flaw in the game... no story, none at all and that's just....sad. Gundam is full of fantastic stories both large scale and personal and it is sorely missed in this game.”

“There's no real story, so why you're a mercenary fighting with/against other mercenaries doesn't really matter.”

“Broken piece of garbage can't even play the game on the highest end hardware without it stuttering every second regardless of graphical settings and is utterly unplayable. How could they have fumbled such an easy game to make that people could have enjoyed? I am disappointed in Bandai Namco for releasing such an unpolished POS turd that still, a year after release, runs like trash.”

“The base graphic is terrible, control is terrible, you have to use keyboard to navigate through the game? Very dated and poor performance despite having really old visuals.”

“Frame rate on Windows 11 3080 graphics card 64GB RAM: The lobby area has terrible framerates, and maybe it's just my laptop's unreliable graphics card, but the 3D model for something in the lobby keeps bugging out like it's a corrupted N64 game.”

“Overall it's a complete mess, the monetization scheme is outright predatory even by 'free to play' standards, several mobile suits are severely unbalanced, and the matchmaking/netcode issues often make the game literally unplayable in certain situations.”

“The microtransactions are aggressive, and the game feels pay-to-win.”

“The fact that an entire set of suits are locked behind the gacha mechanic is sickening when one considers that other titles offer players content without duplicates, generic designs, or heavily promoting monetization by locking overpowered new machines behind the gacha.”

“If that wasn't soul crushingly grinding for you even after you rank up you have ten levels within that rank to hit before you unlock the next set of promotion missions so good luck.”

“About 90% of the custom lobbies (among about 5-6 lobbies on a good day during peak hours) listed will be what's known as a 'win rotate' game where ms costs are unrestricted, it's a 1 round elimination match, and both teams are socially expected to take turns not playing the round (whole match) to allow the other team a guaranteed win for the purpose of grinding the monthly missions, currency, and leveling up mobile suits while match 'rotations' are normally a 5-6 minute process, meaning you have to wait every 10 minutes before it's your turn to play.”

“There's also an extremely tedious upgrade system that makes it very difficult to ever stop grinding, as each ms needs approximately 3 months of you pouring upgrades into it at a time, something you can only do with a finite number of mobile suits at once.”

“The server matchmaking is so buggy and broken: you'd come across players ranks over you or you'd be given the grace of the match spontaneously ending at the match start (yes, as in loaded in when mobile suits are on field).”

“After checking again nothing much has changed; still has the same issues since its first live launch: network issues, more glitches. Won't be any fixes anytime soon. Finding an actual match is 50/50.”

“So I wanted to enjoy this game I really did, however with how buggy the game is and I'm now slapped with a 4 day sortie ban because of connection errors or the entire team raging quitting. The connection is about as bad as Fallout 76's. Please fix this issue and if possible undo this penalty or change it.”

“The soundtrack is awfully boring.”

“It's the most generic boring loops of songs from the anime cut to repeat every 10 seconds.”

“You cannot customize any controls or turn off the music until after completing the tutorial.”

“Not funny at all.”

“There is some PvE, but the content is limited and does not offer much in replayability.”

“I feel that the only thing that could potentially save this game at this point would be for them to completely overhaul and massively extend the PvE aspects of the game, maybe by letting players recreate classic battles from the various stories from the Universal Century timeline in a co-op or single player way and also extending the rewards of the PvE mode to be more replayable since the main online game is impossible to even get into.”

“For a replayable game, some of the maps just feel too big.”
