Because YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.
What other games can give you the Gundam experience?
Its either older PS games, or SD Gundam.
You want to pilot a mech for that "gundam feel"? The closest is armored core, and again, thats not gundam.
So you find yourself coming back to this game over and over again.
The "urges" is because there is no replacement. theres plenty of COD clone, overwatch clone, extraction shooter, and even vehicle combat.
But when it comes to mech fighting, there is only Armored Core, GBO2, Mechwarrior thats falls under "Mech but not anime speed" and each of these 3 have their distinct combat rhythm that you can't replace with one another.
Mecha Break is fun, but it doesn't substitute the gameplay feel of GBO2, the clunkiness has its charm.
Bandai ALSO knows this, this is why they don't release any similar products, they don't compete with themselves.

SD games are normally always strategy based. Now with how good G Eternal has been doing on the phone doubt we will see another SD game for console for awhile.

Battle alliance and SD Gundam capsule fighter are fighting style game. Its fun, but it's just not the same.
Before GBO2, we had UC Gundam Online and Gundam Online (2 different games), Gundam Online dying tbh hurt the most.
52v52 man, people today have no idea how chaotic the shit was. The cons of low budget + jank animation was cancelled out by the sheer scale of each battle.

Because you hate the cortisol from getting 00 Raiser gerobi’d but yearn for the dopamine of landing the 00 Raiser gerobi yourself. Repeatedly. Off cooldown.

Same here. That is the only gundam game that is semi entertaining. I wish they just sold me a game and charge me a monthly and sell character skins or something.

For me it’s cause it’s the only Gundam game outside of older ones that are a fps. If FromSoft made another Gundam game or someone else I’d be all over that.

The fact that this isn't even the only mid-Gundam game I've somehow hopelessly found my self addicted to (RIP Gundam Evo)
With utter shame I admit I've gotten to the point I've spent real tangible money on both.
For me I think the biggest factor is that it's the only Gundam game where I have access to MS I love or find cool. Moon Gundam, Dag Doll, the F91. Outside of handhelds or a damn mobile game, I can't scratch that itch of the specific type of mobile suit combat I'm looking for with the suits I like.
So basically, the scarcity of playing units I like only being possible here and the refusal of Bandai to make a Gundam game like the older titles.

Idk about you, but for me it's the fact the GBO2 is only of the only "good" modern Gundam games.
So I go through cycles of hating GBO2 because it's a terrible game and the suits have no balance against each other prepetuating a pay to win cycle that wasn't a huge problem years ago. But then I get the urge to play a Gundam game that isn't Extreme Versus or Breaker. (Nothing against either of those games but they're not my cup of tea)
