Heh I played the first game far enough to get the parts to make my ガンドム　but I really never played anymore past that. It was a solid but not great game.

I may get this one used later in the year....

 

[Curry-Hakase]

how well does this run on the vita?

 

[Parakeetman]

how well does this run on the vita?

runs well enough no real issues for now. you can watch the attached videos as those are running on the psvtv.

played some on the vita and no real issues either.

Great OT as usual, Parakeetman!

Bought the game on PSN!

Can't wait for the download to finish, so hyped!

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the game!

Game makes a way better first impression than the first one did. Instead of a series of super boring/drab tutorial missions in a forest, the game drops you right into a big battle, pairs you up with Exia and Wing Gundam, and pretty much introduces most of the new gameplay/mission mechanics in one go.

It's a way more exciting way to start the game.

combat feels faster for better or worse but what is nice is the whole directional keys and r+□ △ ○ commands allows for more combos. dont remember the original too well if it had that too.

one thing i can see so far is the vita ver was built for full on vita design even though it supports the vita tv too. so that leads me to believe for a better control experience if you want to play with a controller the ps3 is the way to go. will confirm tonight.

since i need my ability to switch back and forth from auto and manual lock but playing on the psvtv did not seem to allow for that. the vita its tapping a section on the screen.

 

[Reishiki]

Modified my pre-order on PA to make sure I get this now rather than when the Asian version of Guilty Gear Xrd comes in stock.

Looking forward to it.

 

[Parakeetman]

Hmm looks like the PS3 footage may have to wait. Checked my amazon and seems like the order didnt go through for the PS3 ver and next shipment is like the 21st. Ill try to get one sometime tomorrow if possible.

got one secured will go to pick it up in 30m

 

[Parakeetman]

Had to delete one of the vita vids due to the dumbshits at bannam flagging it. Granted might have been the automated system, still a bunch of idiots for flagging something that is free marketing for them.

Will reup it later tonight maybe.

also edited the OT using distantmantras MS list and ryougas DLC info both added to the credits section

I think it'd be sort of hard for videos from this game to not be auto-flagged. There is licensed music afterall.

It wasnt music the flagged section was literally the opening in game cutscene in front of the Archangel-class ship during the tallgeese fight.

 

[Parakeetman]

Btw folks the PS3 version looks GLORIOUS. Runs nice too personally so far.

So for those who dont really play on the go as much most def Id suggest the PS3 version.

For those who are on the move enjoy the Vita version.

But it is nice to see the graphical difference between the two. Both play the same just with small tweaks to the controls and such.

As I thought the PS3 ver the controls are tailored for the DS that has button commands that are not on the PSV version if you play on the PSV TV.

PS3 footage wont be up till I give it 2hrs

 

[Zerojul]

Nice OT, thanks and subscribed. Still waiting for my PS3 copy, I had a hard time deciding which version to get but I figured I'd play this at home. Good to know PS3 version looks good

im sure you will have a great time, overall do like this title more than the first one

 

[Kysen]

I bought the last game on vita, but this time opted for the PS3. Loving the new improvements. Finally get to stick with my favorite suits and just upgrade instead of being forced to use parts I don't like. Seed gundams for life.

 

[Hasemo]

As most people here know, this game has a photo mode, which allows you to choose a pose for your Gundam, take a picture and upload it to Bamco's servers.
You can see your picture by logging in here. Requires a Bamco account and linking with your PSN account. It might take a few minutes before Gunpla appears.

I've played only 2 missions + tutorial so far, but the game seems to be miles better than GB, even after all the patches. Can't wait to dive in for more tomorrow.
By the way, my current weak Gunpla:

Normally I'd wait for stronger parts to start painting, but this guy is such a lame mix, that he looks like a hack job without unified colors.

 

[Nikkuthulu]

Any word or notice on the drop rates for items this time around? I remember feeling it was a bit too stingy unless you were playing online.

Still super excited about this and now the wait for it to arrive begins.

Bamco's got your back! They've introduced paid one use drop rate items.
I used the free one and got many more yellow items than normally... And the effect stacks in mp.

Gundam Breaker was the first time I ever experienced discrimination from Japanese players. I'd regularly get booted from games because "Sorry, Japanese only."

Even when I hooked up a head set and spoke Japanese, they'd still boot me. Weird.

too many NEET players in gundam games in general in japan lol

Japanese players in mmos are usually very polite and act less like angry kids, at least from my experience in Tera, FFXI and XIV.
Players in hunting action games like MH, GB on the other hand can be as mean as the rest of the world.

Edit:
And the post above. I think Gundam Extreme has the worst community, since you're so dependent on your partner.

 

[Parakeetman]

Heres the PS3 footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwtyTxUFyOE

will have to change it to an image later on.

Added to the front page in the OP

-----

btw if you folks leave PSN names Ill add it to the first page of the OP or the 2nd post under it just so you all have a list of whos playing. Though leave what version of the game you have, since it does seem like crossplay is not going to be in the game. Talked with the owner of the shop I picked up the PS3 copy at and he said too that the word is that no crossplay is going to happen as of this time.

My current unit that Im messing around with. Though those pistols suck lol. Actually its more the cartwheeling animation than the actual damage output which is good.

Thats pretty much any hardcore team based game. I mean look at the MOBA communities in general. Salt, salt everywhere! lol Its even worse in the arcades since ones 100 yen is at stake

That's not too bad then. A free one also works for me. Should hold me over until I find where Treasure Hunter, if there's one like it drops.

That video is looking good.. makes me want it even more now. Guess I should pick up the first one and continue on with it. Be a good hold over for the time being.

My copy should be here Saturday or Monday depending on how slammed EMS is with the holidays.

If I but this digitally do I not get the build fighters suits?

1. You should still get the codes.
2. They're already in the game, the code just gives you access to the parts immediately.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Why the hell arent the Gundam Breakers localized?

Cause the Bandai Namco Cost-Benefit Analysis (TM) doesn't suggest that it's a profitable move.

Best place to import? I remember looking into this and I don't think I bookmarked the page.

AmiAmi charges in Yen, and seeing how the exchange rate is super awesome right now, they're your best bet.

I think with EMS shipping I paid $69 for the game. I remember dropping around $90-$100 for Battlefield Record UC 0081 when the exchange rate sucked. My wife was like "I know your imports aren't cheap, but you spent THAT MUCH on it? It better be the best game ever."

Did you ever find out about remote play?

 

[Hasemo]

I wouldn't call that "immediately". Yeah, you can get them from the in-game store Gift category from the get go, but they all require level 30-40 iirc, so don't expect to use them from the get go.

That's not too bad then. A free one also works for me. Should hold me over until I find where Treasure Hunter, if there's one like it drops.

Sorry for not being clear. I meant "the free one". They give you 1 of those items for free and that's it. I don't think there's a way to earn them in game. Already used mine in the 2nd mission, because I wanted as many Red Frame parts as I could get (got the head and the hand).

Write that you're from gaf or something like that in the invite.

 

[Parakeetman]

Hi donkey show sorry for the delay, unfortunately it seems that it is not supported with the PS3 version.

Error message comes up basically saying its not supported with the title.

 

[Hagi]

Is there a reason that the pricing on the Vita store is 6458 yen instead of 5980? is the lower price a PS+ discount? My Japanese skills are at level 0.

I'd rather buy 6000 yen from Play-Asia rather than 7000.

not sure have not looked at the dl prices outside of the specs listed on the ohp

yeah its the 8 percent sales tax. If this was before the change in the tax related stuff thanks to the dumbshits in the govt here the price would have been as listed.

Oh right, thanks a lot.

Ended up just buying a 8000yen point card anyway so I'll just find some ps1 games or something to use the leftover balance. Hopefully i get the code soon so i can get in with the kitbash shenanigans.

this game really blows away the first one hope you will enjoy it!

 

[kubricks]

Just started the game's tutorial, liking what I have seen so far.
The input layout seems much better, controls are more intuitive.

I am slightly disappointed in Vita's performance tho', there are noticable drop in frame rate especially in open area, I don't remember GB1 or Gundam Musou having such issue.

Should've went with the ps3 version, it looks awesome and runs perfectly

Btw., does anyone else have a problem with jumpjng/boosting? Every time I press X for more than half a second, my character boosts. I know that long presses should do that, but it feels way too sensitive. Maybe it's just me or my ds3.

One thing annoys me to no end - X and O buttons are reversed (I brought my PAL console here) in most menus, so they don't match the displayed prompts... But it's inconsistent and in some cases they're doing what they should. It's super confusing.

actually long presses should make you jump no? as long as a direction is not pushed. i never noticed any issues with boosting outside of not jumping when i want to at times lol

you need to get a jp system, same reason why i have a us one too when games on a jp system us title x and o are reversed.

happened to me with the us sleeping dogs and red dead redemption (°Д°)

Hm, guess I'll try my other gamepad.
Nah, way too expensive for such a minor annoyance. All games that I've played until know with X and O reversed were at least consistent about that and I've been using this console for so many years that I don't mind.

 

[Jrs3000]

Any chance we can get bamco to do a sub for this in english? I highly doubt it but it would be nice if they had a language option for english in the digital version. Are there any screen shots of the menus explaining what the settings are? I think I'm going to grab this for my vita so I'll have something to play at work besides smash.

Are you able to strafe or sidestep in and out of lock?

Ok thanks. What about strafe and sidestep, is that limited to being locked on or can be done anytime? Is fighting without locking on feasible to handle multiple units?

 

[Parakeetman]

strafe is handled by lockon so to speak sidestep is R shoulder plus boost X button

yeah it is i switch between lock no lock often on the ps3 ver

So vita should control just about the same? Thanks for the info I'm going to import this and struggle through the japanese. I know a lil hiragana but that's about it lol.
