If you have not tried the Long Range Hand Grenade that the Ranger class gets, you owe it to yourself to give a a whirl. The animation is hilarious, and the feeling of dropping that bad boy in the middle of a bunch of giant insects a 1/2 mile away is incredible. But the true natural enemy of giant insects is FLYING WOMEN, of course.

I Greyhound posted:But the true natural enemy of giant insects is FLYING WOMEN, of course. At least according to Professor Smugface McWrongAllTheTime. "The Wing Divers are the natural enemy of giant insects! Nothing can possibly slow them down, and their mobility is unmatched!" Cue Wing Divers getting caught in webs. "Now that we've defeated the Retiarius spiders and their nets, nothing can stop us, because as we all know, there is no such thing as flying giant insects!" Cue hornets. I'm only on mission 42 so far - is there anything that this guy says that isn't immediately proven wrong in the most catastrophic way possible?

Every other class besides Wing Diver just feels so loving slow. Even Fencers with dash-cancelling. While they're all setting up their stupid explosives I'm in with my chainsaw and all the bugs/robots/robot bugs are dead. I wish I hadn't started with Wing Diver because I think it's ruined the other classes for me.

I don't know if it's a hidden mechanic or a bug but not being able to revive people is so frustrating. I get the prompt maybe a third of the time. I have a feeling if someone's body ragdolls away from the spot they died may be causing it, but haven't tested it. Meanwhile people revive me everytime, I don't get it.

It costs health to revive people. If you don't have enough health you can't revive them.

You have to have a green bar to revive, it can't be flashing. You split your health in half with the person you revive.

Yeah, for this reason, hoarding health powerups isn't particularly a problem as long as you intend to revive people if they go down. Unless you're taking them when you're at full health though, that would be just dumb.

My partner and I are trying to get ahold of this game on PSN despite living in New Zealand, is there an easy way to put points onto a US account to get it? Everything we're trying seems to wind up in failure, and I know I've done this before.

That's how I got one last time, but this time I threw a friend's address in there and it never quite cleared, so now the order is sitting in limbo waiting for someone to manually check it. I don't expect much on that front, and we're dying for some EDF/vicious drinking sessions.

I wish I hadn't started with Wing Diver because I think it's ruined the other classes for me. I played as Wing Diver when I originally played the Japanese version, and yeah, she's highly mobile and deals good damage. Sure. But when Fencer gets going, it gets going so hard it's hilarious. Also, as Wing Diver, you lack the ability to sit in the middle of a giant mob of ants and spiders and dragons, put your shield up and then just stand there stabbing/slashing/exploding everything around you without regard to your health. I think every class has pros and cons, and every class is worth playing. You might have to force yourself to not use Wing Diver for long enough to actually start understanding what makes other classes so great, however.

"Crap! I don't have any bullets!"  "Eat THIS bullet!"  I'll really never not be entertained by this game's NPC banter. Does anyone have the same issue as me where I get bored of all the other classes besides Ranger? Maybe it's because I'm used to just playing as him on EDF2017 Portable.

It worked for me a few years ago but now I think my account just got suspended. Oh well, we'll wait and see. Edit: Downloading now, calling a pal is still the best way to get a US code.

Holy poo poo Inferno. The level, not the difficulty. That was intense as hell! Everyone got massacred. They didn't fall back when they should have and once the Genocide Cannon got blown up, all hell broke loose. I only won because I turtled like a pussy behind a building that was apparently made of Cantblowupium because nothing could destroy it. Taking out flying bastards and the occasional Hector. Rushing out and grabbing desperately-needed health because I was at like 23HP of 360+ at the time. I didn't even get a good look at the Mothership. I know some gross poo poo happened when it entered Phase 3, and lots of lights and sounds were occurring on the other side of my cover, but I was so focused on getting some health back that I never got a clear look at it all! And I'm like, not even halfway done! There are over 80 stages, yeah? This was what, mid-30s? Why do I have the feeling I'm gonna be fighting multiple stage 3 Motherships towards the end?

Had a great time with a goon group tonight - mic ran out of juice towards the end before I could give my goodbyes. We cut it really close on that last mission - these little moments are what make this game so great. Still have to try a level with an air raider using a guiding laser.

rawdog pozfail posted:It seems like they had a name for the bugs, such as with the Ravagers, but instead just replaced every instance of the word with 'Giant Insects'. It's exactly the same in the Japanese version. "Giant insects have giant insected our giant insects! GIANT INSECTS!" Honestly it just adds to the charm.

Actually the Japanese is "giant life forms" (巨大生物). They aren't all insects after all; there are spiders in there too.
