Like I've said before a lot of things about GBO2 and how it's designed in ways that are completely baffling from a Western perspective make a lot more sense when you remember that it was originally intended for a solely Japanese audience and kind of lucked into finding an international audience due to the PS4 being mostly free of region locking and while they gradually made a couple concessions for that international audience at its core it's still that game meant only for a Japanese player base I imagine when we get GBO3 someday it will be heavily overhauled to better fit with Western expectations for what a online team based shooter is like in both gameplay and how it handles communication since they now know they have a wider audience to attract than just the Japanese fans

If you think they're going to develop and maintain a Gundam game with a preference for an arbitrary set of "western" design sensibilities(whatever that actually means in practice), you're crazy. Evolution was probably the closest thing to something like that you'll ever see and it was a disaster of Hindenburgian proportions.

Consideration for the western market has never been something Bandai could pull off even when they were trying and not just writing it off based on their past experience failing at it.

What does western design sensibilities mean here? Good netcode that can handle non-Japan-sized latency? I'm all for that at least. The text chat was killed because of toxicity among japanese players, it's not like japan was full of perfect angels and they only realized they needed moderation when the EN translation released.

Based on the context of their previous complaints in the thread, I can only assume they're talking about a strong focus on netcode, easy party lobbies(as in drop in and queue up with friends immediately with no fuss), and voice chat, among other things. You know, all things Gundam Evolution did.

Gundam Evolution had bad net code in that it was highly unstable. Frequent disconnects and you couldn’t rejoin if you got d/c’d and the penalty for a d/c was harsh. There also wasn’t any backfill and the quick play matches had the same rules as ranked matches so the games took forever. And the monetization was really bad. More akin to a gacha game than a team based fps.

we're getting a new battle mode? also black Friday stuff https://bo2.ggame.jp/en/info/?p=126833 quote:We will launch the new game mode “Situation Battle” to GBO2 in the near update. quote:Point ② Different task for MSs in each game sounds like it's going to be a lot of steamrolling if either team is at all capable of coordination but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. hope I get to play as one of chars wingmen, they always survive the battle right??

Winter Festival has begun on PS4/PS5 y'all, here are some important things to remember:
 Every special banner is designed to get you to open your wallet so be careful! Take into consideration the fact that pretty much every single cost point in this game is now fairly stable with some very accessible meta units that you can buy at the DP store so please, please, please do not spend any more than you budgeted for.
