gently caress the final mission. And yes, it's the mission's fault that I thunderbow'd myself near the end

I just got this for Xbox 360 so I can play with my brother online. I don't understand how Metatags work because my xbox has not been used in a year. Do I add the Metatags as if I'm adding a friend on my friends list?

I'll be picking this game up to binge on with a friend in couch co-op this weekend. Has anyone been able to figure out yet whether the load times are significantly improved on the PS3 if you get the downloadable version when compared to the disc version? Edit: because I hear there's no PS3 install option for the disc verison. Dr. Eldarion fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Mar 10, 2014 |

I've been farming DLC 16 and death queen for five hours on Inferno and the FGZ gatling does not want to drop  . I'm starting to really loving hate the drop system in this game on higher difficulties.

Polo-Rican posted:Playing as a fencer feels pretty pointless when you're with an Air Raider who stomps around in a Vegalta dealing double your damage, moving twice as quickly, and with 10x the hit points (6000 vs around 600 currently for our fencer). Fencers are insanely fast and mobile once you understand how dash cancelling works. Nothing the Air Raider deploys will ever be as agile and hard to pin down as a competent fencer(though some vehicles will be able to move in a straight line substantially faster). It's better to not get hit at all than it is to tank damage, as even huge rear end wall-o-HP vehicles can get ripped apart in seconds by being swamped. Dash cancelling is also a substantial damage output increase for some weapons; the hand cannons fire roughly three times as fast when cancelled repeatedly, for example, which makes them significantly more deadly than a comparable Vegalta's armament.

I think I may need help. I broke 16% and got the "killed over 20,000 ants total" achievement yesterday and can't seem to stop. Oh, and Rangers, the level 56(ish) SparrowShot is the best thing ever. So far. Though the model for the Acid Gun prototype is a thing of beauty:  Just strap a tactical flashlight on top of this bug spray and let's get to war, boys.

So I just got this helicopter that seats 3 where I'm driving and 2 others have some sweet cannons on the side. My one question is... Do these things ever control any easier? It's really tough to line up so that the gunners can actually shoot things. Specifically some day I want to live the dream and have my gunners able to fire inside a drop ship. but even having them able to hit things on the ground would be pretty nice.

What I usually see happen is people riding the heli at a low altitude, waiting till all of the EDF NPCs die, and then the ants or whatever swarm under the chopper. The gunners just point straight down and take out huge numbers where it is usually a nightmare to do so. Like #27 Crimson. gently caress that level. The single seat choppers might get a bit more agile, but I haven't seen any three-seaters that handle much better than a dead whale. I play primarily as a ranger, though, so hopefully there is a much higher level version I haven't flown yet that is fun and effective instead of just effective.

Thanks for the weapon list and level guide! I think EDF 2025 may have spoiled me with its fantastic variety of weapons and ways to make giant insects explode. Just wish actually getting my hands on lvl 70+ stuff on Inferno wasn't such a desperate struggle to survive.

It does ZERO damage, even if I continuously run into an enemy point blank while holding down the fire button.

I'll stop farming Inferno mission 11 when I finally get a decent loving gatling gun/mortar/rocket launcher  I have a great spear, shield and rifle thing, but I love the Fencer's versatility too much to stick with those alone.

Dual gatling guns are probably my favorite fencer weapon, but the range!! Do you ever get one with a good range? I'm sick of not being able to beat any level with a dropship if I choose gatling guns.

I'm sick of not being able to beat any level with a dropship if I choose gatling guns. Yeah, the Gallic Cannons have absurd range and high damage once you break into the ~30 lvl items. I use one that does 2000 damage and can hit a mothership easily. It's more a sniper rifle than an artillery piece.

I love being a wing diver or fencer zipping around the level being johnny on the spot. I was playing a level where the entire team got wiped by hectors except myself and my weapons werent strong enough to do fiddly. Instead I raced around the map shouting edf and encouraging phrases as a fencer and reviving a teammate with actual punch before scooting off for more health pickups.

I finally snagged a Lvl 40 Vegalta the other night and I'm blown away how much better it handles than the sub-lvl 20 one's I'd owned previously. At this rate of improvement I feel like lvl 100 bots will be more agile than a Ranger, rolling and all.

Man I had a blast in the game I was playing. I was playing on hard with only normal level armor. There was this fencer who had a ton of health so he was johnny on the spot with revives. Thankfully I didn't need to revive too much since I was a wing diver. We had another dude who was an air raider who could just not synergize well with the team. Kept summoning big toys for himself and blowing us up. Finally he went wing diver (we were stuck and he "totally could solo this level with wing diver) so I went air raider with the brute copter for transport and a laser kit for the fencer who squealed with joy. So I'm scuttling around lazering everything trying not to die while the fencer is yelling out 'protect my eeeeyyyyeeesss". Then the game hard locks.  Still, fun evening. Sad I couldnt give a better try with the air raider.

I feel like such a moron. I had been blowing through Hard with the Wing Diver mostly just using the Bow and Chainsaw, but traded out the bow for the Ixion 6 way. It worked great until Mountain Liberation and then I fell apart. I could not beat this drat level. I switched to the Thunder Sniper and was doing better, but would get killed by the last waves of dragons. I tried all sorts of things and couldn't beat it. I built up my armor a bit, tried again, failed. Tried a new sniper rifle, failed. After a couple dozen attempts I realized the Thunder Bow would be perfect for this, used it and beat it on my next attempt.

The difference in performance between ps3 and 360 is quite noticeable. I had a fun evening with my brother last night on 360. Chat doesn't go all nuts during the loading screen and waiting for a match to start is almost always less than thirty seconds. I still hope a patch for ps3 will fix the loading and connection issues on PS3 since I was hoping to sell my 360 in the near future, but oh well.
