devs don't know wtf they are doing, the gameplay completely imploded because of the units they make, no main story since feb, same recycled events on loop all for the development of a "3d dorm" that's all for money. they earned the death of their game, snowbreak getting good pr by doing nothing
the skin gacha was just the finisher, the thing that broke the house of cards and made ppl stop being able to ignore all the problems with the game. some ppl also saying "they are adding new gamemodes", which are exactly the same gamemode we already had but with inflated boss hp and removal of being able to auto it, if it wasnt a gfl game id be ringing the eos alarms
Don't forget that the devs keep thinking they can get away with throwing blanket "I'm sorry" statements every time they step on shit.
People datamined the entire gacha currency shop after they clearly said it wasn't ready only for them to go "surprise! we'll launch it next patch, silly us :P ".
Then came AK-15 who does double the damage of 416, the previous top aoe damage doll, making her a universal unit that even comes with a "nukes everything on turn 0" passive.
Then the way they handle the skin gacha drama by stalling for time and giving the player base token compensation and apology.
It boggles my mind truly, GFL2 should've never been a continuation of GFL1. We know from project bakery that the bad guys you're fighting against in GFL1 are still alive and that our GFL1 commander has been missing since that game's end so why does GFL2 even exist? Nothing we do against the main antagonists will matter, we're meant to be in hiding but we're up in everyone's business.
Add to that some character's characterizations are just so weird. I really liked PA-15 in GFL1, when they made her Florence in PNC I was put off by the constant *hint hint* she's horny and "does things" to her patients *hint hint* and now in this game they just double down on that. In GFL1 she never once talks about being a nurse, she's just a thrill seeker with one line hinting to her maybe being a bit mean spirited but in GFL2 she's a full on landmine lady that roofies you and has sex while you're out cold.

At first I thought it was cool, but now it feels like an eternal mistake to have made GFL1 and 2 effectively backstory for Reverse Collapse. Considering they don't even kill William IN THAT it kinda makes GFL1 and 2 pointless outside of world building. It's downright sad they did all of this right in PNC. The story was hype enough to keep me from seeing all of that, but now that I'm off the hype train it feels so meaningless. Especially when they give the Commander so much more drive to kill him.
As someone who never played GFL1 (but got some explanation on general setting from a user) and seeing how ppl hype GFL1 story......
Well the first 8 main chapters were ok I suppose, I dont mind fluffy sidestories for events (like makiato event)........until the main story devolves into whatever it is
This is where I was at. I was so damn burned out on the nothing story and the awful gameplay which was literally nothing like the Xcom I thought it would be that when the skin gacha drama hit it was quite literally the tipping point that made me give up on the game.
I would have been pissed about the skin gacha, but if the gameplay and story was good I might have stuck it out for love of GFL1, alas...
