So, since this game is supposedly a dud, how beginner friendly is Gundam Breaker 3?

I just started it over the weekend and haven't ran into any issues. Only issue I can imagine is that if you want to play online, you will probably
want to find someone else new to play with via Era or Discord. Most players are just gonna come in and one hit bosses for you.

Someone come play missions with me until I can convince my brother to drop NGB and buy GB3 lol

Oh wow, i had skipped the PS4 version cause a whole group asked me to pick up the Steam version so we all could play it together, it would be the first Gundam game for many of them too...

Honestly considering bitting the bullet on either version just so i could stream it to friends and showcase it's issues before any of them buy it....

Just show them this thread. No need to put yourself or others in harm's way.

So this is why Bamco decided to delay the game on Steam. To release the superior Gundam Breaker 3 instead? Gotcha /s

Seriously Bamco no way you could done fucked up with an already established formula but you did. Do you even review your work or the other studio's work which is working for you before the game goes to production?

Wow.......
What is this shit? I could believe this gaffe if it was developed in America or Europe where it wouldn't be strange for the devs to have zero exposure to the original material.
But come on. I have to assume this was developed in Japan. Nobody found out about this during design or QA testing?
At least, with the atrocious reception that caused the closure of users opinion on Amazon.jp at least Bandai Namco cannot use the excuse of "Westerners don't buy Gundam games".

From what i've read in this thread and what other places say, you can only play VS mode with each other, no co-op in story mode/pve... Tell them its nothing like the previous 3 games :(

Other than the standard Japanese O for confirm X for cancel, the only really confusing thing is merging and leveling up parts, but if you fiddle around in their menus it'll make sense.

Oh right, that might be a bit annoying at first.

Anyway, trigger pulled. Ordered Breaker 3 on PlayAsia. Now the waiting game begins :P

Honestly? People should try and arrange a meet up in Gundam Breaker 3. It's easy enough to setup a lobby if you have 3 other people willing to run missions for funsies

Holy hell that's short sighted.

Specially after Gundam Build Divers just selling that "Team MMO Vibe" and this game being the only current Gundam game alongside the anime...

I think linking up to play some GB3 is a dope idea. I never played much co op, I only have the base GB3 though.

This game is just not fun. I tried the second mission with all the different Quests and was confused as to what I needed to be doing consistently and also tracking down those targets. I managed to win somehow but very little of it was probably my doing.

Popped in my Asia English copy of Gundam Breaker 3.

...Hot damn. So much faster. And the sweet sweet boost. And remote weaponry are actually remote and not some one time attack bs.

I somehow enjoy seeing this dumpster fire burning to ash. How could they fuck it up so damn bad when the previous game was really good?

Decided to wait until pay day to pick up GB3, and of course all eBay listings have double or tripled their price and the game is selling out online.

Reading now that nearly every mission in the game is this shitty scramble to earn points and I honestly can't think of the last time I was this disappointed in a game. Maybe when I imported Dragon Ball GT? At least I kinda knew what I was getting into with that.

Started GB3 last night and can't go back to New Kusoge Breaker. Like, wow, what a difference. GB3 (even more so than the previous games) lets you go nuts right from the get go versus consistently fighting the controls in NGB. I don't know why I skipped out on 3 to begin with, but it's so much more of a palette cleanser after jumping into NGB.

I've started on the DLC missions first before tackling the story... whoops! But at least I'm picking up some dope parts to build with before jumping in since my GB2 cloud save doesn't seem to work. :(

Anyone looking to get Gundam breaker 3 break edition state side check Amazon. I got the eng sub version still wrapped in plastic over night for 64 bucks. Stuck it in my console and boom away I went. No need for an Asian psn account. No need to go through play Asia.

Its unavailable on the site apparently, what sucks is that I have the base vanilla disk and there is no cheap way to get the dlc it seems, so it looks like i should import the disk. Havent played it in a long while so i'm not sure if vanilla users (with the first dlc) can play with those who have the break edition.

So wouldnt it be funny if GB3 outsells NGB this week in japan/ other regions where they check sales. I'd think that would send the right message to Bandai Namco.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying GB3 but why the hell didn't you join us TWO YEARS AGO?

Reading now that nearly every mission in the game is this shitty scramble to earn points and I honestly can't think of the last time I was this disappointed in a game. Maybe when I imported Dragon Ball GT? At least I kinda knew what I was getting into with that.

It's really just not any fun. If the developers' goal was to take the existing Gundam Breaker model and suck all the fun and life out of it, they've succeeded.

The original tagline of these games was DESTROY THE GIANT GUNDAM, not RUN AROUND LIKE A CHICKEN WITH YOUR HEAD CUT OFF AND EARN POINTS.

To be fair, having to import the game and jump through hoops to get the DLC kinda ruined the value proposition. Now that you can just get everything in one shot, it's a better buy right now.

No one forced you to get the DLC, the standalone game was perfectly playable and complete. And to be fair, Break Edition has been out for over a year.

Everyone is charging an arm and a leg for GB3 break edition now.

I was thinking of getting it for the dlc (i bought the regular GB3 on its release) but i guess nope

Only okay price i've found was $60 and thats playasia... which the only issue is, I own the vanilla disk and spending $60 just seems wrong for a 2 year old game.
