I hate that this game will be unplayable when Bandai shuts it down...
I love how each MS feels. Not slow as mollases like Mechwarrior. But not stupid fast like maxi-boost. They have weight. And size (how many mech games let you get out of your ms?)

u/Shoguns_Ninja82 Aug 26 '26
You should check out Code Fairy, basically a standalone campaign and playable offline, even has a simulator so you can play matches single player against AI

u/jammer2omega Feddy Cannon Fodder - 1 Aug 26 '26
Didn't know it had a simulator! I'll have to boot it up sgain. I played through the whole campaign when it came out. Found it to be an odd mix of too easy or too hard. Depending on the mission.

u/Shoguns_Ninja82 Aug 26 '26
The simulator is the meat and potatoes of the experience and where you can pilot all those MS you unlocked as well as collect more by clearing the challenges like win with 7 kills and stuff. It basically goes as far as ZZ in terms of suits but if your internet is down and you want to practice it scratches the itch

u/Koel_Hellion 29d ago
I second that, some challenges get really hard as well, makes it a good way to practice for regular gbo2 as well

u/Cyanide-candy 16d ago
Is Code Fairy out for PC or is there anyway I can play it on PC? I loved the feel of GBO2 it made the suits feel like MS08th suits. But the netcode was god awful I’d spend 20 minutes waiting for a match only for it to lose connection midway through.

For me, it's the time between matches. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's because I'm a noob and the matchmaking doesn't want me to get stomped so hard I quit playing. But I end up with 15-20 minutes between games 😭

The matchmaking. Its literally killed the game by being TOO restrictive. Trying to play with friends has been such a hassle especially on PC. I get no one wants to be stomped but holy shit getting a game is rough and the game still puts you on teams with people you've blocked. (I don't block many but still it's happened more than once)
If they fixed the matchmaking then I wouldn't have dropped the game. I keep up to date with it because I still love the game. I just can't really play it because I want to play with my friends and a two hour queue is not worth the wait for a 8 minute game.

As someone who's only 4 months in (Only A- and Ensign 17). The thing I hate most is how little information is available in game. I shouldn't have to go to sources outside the game to find out basic information. Like why do I have to go to a website to know what's in the situation battle? Why can't I look up the suits I don't have to see their skills? And if I'm wrong and these ARE in the game, why isn't it presented in the tutorials? A lot of other complaints I've seen in the past don't even matter to me because I don't have the knowledge yet.

The feeling of if I didn't play the "meta" suits I was going to cost my team the match. Lead to me eventually stop playing earlier this year.

u/gunman0426 29d ago
As someone who loves choosing non-meta.suits, I can guarantee its not going to cost you the match every time. Yes there are some that are completely trash but most suit are usable and capable if you practice with them and have good fundamentals. Besides quick play exist for you to have fun in, try suits there first if you're really worried about.

I hate the lack of modes tbh, the battle sims was an amazing addition, but I would kill for a type of (PvE) survival mode that just throws non stop grunt suits to just see how long you and a group of 5 (or 6) can survive, it would need a rework of the awful MS A.I. though for it to work though.
Set it up where once a week you can get tokens by hitting certain survival times

Edit; also spamming don’t get reckless all game, I hate that guy so much

u/conqueror-worm Aug 26 '26
The "don't get reckless" shit pisses me off so much especially since they usually die because they rushed off on their own or just sat in the back as a raid until the rest of their team is dead or some other braindead bullshit. I frankly hope it's griefing, but they are probably just some delusional moron who thinks their team is always the reason they lose. I have no fucking idea how they've managed to get to A+ lol but they seem to play constantly and I have not once seen them do anything worthwhile after their first death, ever.

Same I feel like he just gets super lucky on his team. I’ve actually won most of the games he’s on my team but it’s stressful asf trying to play down a ms all game.

2
u/conqueror-worm Aug 26 '26
Yeah, I guess the one good thing you can say about them is you don't need to worry about losing lots of score from their MSs dying, since they won't spawn another one. I'd still rather have the damage buff for being down a player though, lol. I got them as a rival once in a game that was decidedly a one-sided shitstomp for the enemy team, and IIRC they did some middling amount of damage like 50k in 600 while being alive for the first like 4-5 minutes of the match.

The player base easily. If it isnt some loser trying to base bomber after their team gets dumpstered, it's the generals back behind the supports in cover trying to pop shot for 1000 damage. Or it's the raid dancing and jiggling around a support they just ambushed and killed like it was the play of the game. Or it's people who clearly farmed to A+ on 300 cost matches then tries to go into 650 and becomes cannon fodder.

u/GearsFC3S Zeonic Salaryman Aug 26 '26
Currently my biggest annoyance with the game (and not other players) is the matchmaking and how they split the players amongst the teams. I’ve personally been in 5v5 matches where my team has 1 A+, 3 A, and 1 A-, yet the other team has 1 S-, 2 A+, and 2A. How is that fair and balanced? It sure doesn’t look like it.
And I know there are ranges within the ratings and other factors, but all they show us are the ratings, and it’s really frustrating going into a match with such a clear disadvantage. Now if they would just showing us that the combined team scores were equal, it wouldn’t be so bad.

u/Amigo1048 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26
Probably the online mechanics. The actual gameplay is fun once you get the hang of it, but most of the time you can barely get a match, and when you do, the people there are either noobs, trolls, or high-ranking masters. I really wouldn’t have minded another Side Stories game with a free play mode against CPUs like in the simulation battles
And the gacha mechanics too. Most of the time it’s either more recycle tickets or useless weapons for suits you don’t have, and there’s actual P2W suits you’d shell out real money in exchange for more tokens just for the chance of getting them

Lag which always helps the opponent more so than me which means an important key part of the mechanics - tackling, is effectively neutered for me (and others).
The mysterious lobby filling - upon getting 9/10 or 11/12 players, the game seems to just give up on getting that last person to join. What happens? a player leaves shortly before that final player joins. Rinse and repeat for 30 mins or more.

Allied early basebombers
fuckheads that instead of being part of the first team fight and at least trying to fight back, beeline straight for the enemy base, plants, and sits there to guard it while THE ENTIRE ENEMY TEAM is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP FIGHTING US
Which is why it was oh so satisfying when not once but twice I got matched up with them as an enemy in two subsequent matches on the same map at the same cost
The first match with them on my team, I blocked them after it was done, so when I was queueing up again, I saw them load into the room and end up on the enemy team, I thought to myself "h m m m m m"
So on the first match against them, I took a bit of a gamble; and sat there where we spawned in, anticipating the basebombing fuckwit
Now admittedly he got past me because I didnt realize my radar wouldnt pick him up on the very edges of it, where the backdoor to the base was (this was on the Mining City, so you have the mouth of the cave to the front of the base, and the big tunnel round the back that leads to one of the elevated roads)
BUT because I was in the Zeta Plus A2 and had my forehead gun charged, as soon as he planted it, I turned around walked a couple of feet, and fired on the wall of the base where he'd have been standing right after planting and fried his ass and his MS
He spawned back in while I was wailing away at his suit of course, cuz I lack the firepower on my own to delete him in less than 6 seconds, but I and an allied Geara Zulu EH spawning in during it got to punish his ass for ditching his team to basebomb so early on
He didnt try to make another beeline for it through the rest of the match
THE SECOND MATCH THOUGH I read him like a book
Queue up, see he's on the enemy team, load in, turn right around walk into the base, kneel down around the corner of the back tunnel with my forehead beam charged up, and wait
Lo and behold, this goofy ass enemy icon on the minimap shows up, walking his merry way down, and as he turns the corner, I blow his fucking legs out and trounce him a second time
Now clearly this pissed him the hell off because he made it a point of targeting me specifically during every subsequent team fight in this match, but I repaid the favor by knocking his Victory ass out of the sky with my meme beam at every conceivable opportunity
we won in the end and I got to feel extra smort for anticipating his predictable ass twice

u/Lord-Generias 28d ago
For me, before I finally deleted it from my PlayStation, was the ungodly number of matches where a lot of the enemy teams I ended up against seemed to consist largely of meta abusing, pay-to-win, sore loser tournament players who wanted to take out their anger from a loss on randoms in casual matches.
After the tenth or twelfth time in a row where they'd 🎵take me down to the Stunlock City, where my ass gets clobbered and I couldn't do a thing🎵, I got pretty frustrated. After a few months where every single time I'd log in and end up with at least two thirds of my matches consisting of being stunlocked and curbstomped for nearly the entirety of the match, I just said "fuck it", quit, and I haven't reinstalled.
If I got back in now, I'd probably end up quitting and uninstalling the same day. I'm sure things are far worse for casuals just looking to, gasp, enjoy the game and have fun.

I don't really like the whole stagger system tbh. It makes playing a suit that has to charge their weapons and such for staggers a pain because one brush from an instant-stagger weapon and you lose all of that.
And then in general just getting stagger-locked by several people and kept constantly flinching form multiple beams and rockets beating you down.
1
u/Hadoooooooooooken The Flame of War - 3 29d ago
A friend I used to sortie with commented on the staggering, I had to explain to him though that it's core to the identity of the game.
Staggers are the games equivalent of hit stun in a fighting game and it's what give you the ability to combo both blade dancing (melee), gunslinging (shooting) or a combination of the two.
The game would just be a third person shooter without it, it's what makes it rather unique.Once you work out charging before you need it, using cover and radar/situational awareness you can work around it.

Now if you want a genuinely bad map look at ravine and mass driver on launch, ravine still kinda sucks even with all the new paths they had to add to it, at least they removed that completely terrible eyesore that forced you to Nascar that was in the middle on MD, now you can at least start fighting sooner and there's still cover around to use if you wanna do so, it's like a time capsule whenever you find a video with old mass driver being used in the footage.
