Tip for everyone getting this game: Turn your look speed up to 100 ASAP, and also turn off screen shaking and see if you like it. While screen shake adds a degree of charm, I think it's outweighed by being able to take in the explosions more clearly. Also 100 look speed is nothing if you've played any fair amount of console shooters.

Despite the fact I've spent way too much money on games already this month I went ahead and bought this stupid game just now. I played the hell out of the ps3 version, so what the hell. PSN Happy_Hedonist.

So am I imagining it, or does this version of the game have significantly altered missions from 2025, and some from 2017 updated with new enemies and wave compositions? I'm not entirely up to date on what's new and what isn't.

Yes. Many of the original 2025 missions are heavily modified via either additional enemies, changed enemies, changed mission "flow", additional missions, and extra events in-mission. Even the very first mission is changed. There's some new guns, too, but the anime waifu-decoy launchers from 2025 seem to be gone. Not that they were any good

I noticed the armor piercing slug shotgun pretty early on; I like where that line is headed. The mission Brute Force seems to be just like the old 2017 mission but with shield bearers to make it harder. That was pretty hectic.

Can someone explain fencer for an idiot? I keep wanting to play the class but everything is so cripplingly unresponsive. If I try and shoot something the animations are so long that I easily get overwhelmed and slaughtered.

I've had really good luck with the air lady but having ammo tied pretty much directly to movement is getting me killed at the worst times. The air support dude seems really fun when you have a good vehicle, but so far I've gotten awful tanks and a walker that explodes when spiders look at it. The crawler mech is cool but I can't get a decent replacement one.

How does the ranger compare to the other 3?

Wing Divers should always, always bring a Rapier, Thunder Bow or Idunn. Those are all strong weapons with generally decent ammo counts. Your energy recharges faster from empty, so don't be afraid to run out if you're in position or if your ammo weapon is charged. You can also try the plasma grenades and MX weapons while charging, but they tend to be weak.

Ranger is the general purpose no frills shootman. He tends to be more long range compared to Wing Diver's wide range. Little to no windup on anything and lots of fast projectiles (except for gimmick walking speed ones). Get used to rolling everywhere for speed and safety.

I finally learned how to use the Balam correctly and it has made Erginus a joke. To do the downward slam and uppercut it's R1-R1-L1-R1 or L1-L1-R1-L1. The L3 is to get up from knockdowns faster but it's super finicky and works like half the time for me.

I'm at mission 65 on hard as Fencer and I have no idea how to survive without using boost cancel. My secondary slots are always equipped with the lvl 14 javalen catapult and a boost weapon like a blast spear. Hold fire button with javelin, spam boost and you can boost 300 times in a row until you have to reload the javelins. Most of the time I'm boosting around looking for a good time to shoot my cannons or missiles at the enemy, but a good spear really helps too. I'm usually the last one alive on the tough missions so I can just kite and shoot my spear inbetween boosts at all the bugs chasing me, it works really well if it can penetrate

Depends on the difficulty and weapon level allowed. Grom SS and Laser Chainsaw are the best if you can use them on Hard. Grom SS is like a Thunder 20 on crack, and costs way less to reload.
