gimme the GOD drat candy posted:because if helicopters were even vaguely tolerable to control they would be outrageously overpowered. enemies can't deal with altitude. Yeah, this. Even with the lovely garbage helicopters in 4.1 you could cheese the poo poo out of some stages with them, and the ones in 5 are improved enough that that's still true even with the deadlier enemies. Hwurmp posted:Depth Crawlers are...good now? I'm not ready for this new world They're infinitely better than 4.1 which is good because playing an Air Raider underground feels even worse in this one than it did in 4.1 due to Air Raiders being so much more powerful in this game.

They always had good guns but their armor was such a joke that it was quite feasible to have more armor on foot than an on-level depth crawler, which in turn made them nearly unusable for anything besides shooting down a tunnel mouth. I think the basic level 1 depth crawler in 5 has more armor than like a level 50 one did in 4.1.

I have no idea how to Ranger without Fusion Blasters or double Lysanders  Buffed-up shotguns are pretty good at least.Kanos posted:Yeah, this.

Starting with the level 42 Bazelart Blaze, 4.1 copters become responsive enough for frequent use. The top-tier Bazelart Powered is legit a joy to fly.

Hectors are better than frogs purely because you cannot shoot a frog in the head so hard their entire upper body just whips back so far they are unable to shoot you.

Jawnycat posted:The greatest travesty in 5 though is that the motorcycles are actually controllable. What is this sick twisted madness of driving in a straight line. this would be a problem were it not for the fact that if you hit anything higher than the curb you get sent hurtling into what is most likely a pack of ravenous insects, so i think it balances out as still entertaining.

Nothing like wandering around lost for 20 minutes because the last enemy on a too long cave mission appears to have clipped through a loving wall.

The item dlc is a bunch of reskins of stuff you'll get normally pretty early, other than the Fencer "Wild Skeleton" thing that gives a bunch of passive benefits that you don't normally get on one item for a long time. There will eventually be a couple mission packs but those aren't out on pc yet.

Jawnycat posted:The helis in 5 at least are better than they were in 4.1, you can actually take off in less than five minutes and, vaguely, aim at ground targets with the fixed guns! Like, I don't feel like I'm just meme'ing when I bring a heli in on my loadout anymore. At the very least assaulting the walking alien base with one was super rad and, maybe, somewhat effective. Maybe. Motorcycles are still delightfully terrible if you bring them on a rice field map, imo. The little bumps along the edges of every field makes it nearly impossible to turn at any kind of speed without just flying sideways.

For real, though, my favorite vehicle so far is the dinky free bike with just a couple machine guns attached. I agree that the rice fields are less than optimum terrain for EDF's powerful technology.

Pretty much any wheeled/treaded vehicle can't deal with that terrain at all. Trying to drive a tank across a rice field and fire accurately is like trying to perform open heart surgery during a magnitude 10 earthquake.

The radar detects bugs that dig out of the ground seconds before it happens. That was a shock seeing all this red and nothing on the map. Really felt like Alien/s.

I love reading EDF reviews just to see if the reviewer figures out that the Lancer is actually fast and not slow. This is a surprisingly rare.

is it just me or is the fencer just extremely op. it makes me wonder what the point of the ranger is when you could just have another fencer. i always play ranger and my friend plays fencer. for a class whose upsides are 4 loving weapons that do devastating damage and give poo poo loads of options, 2 support slots, and the highest armor, while downsides are supposed to be "he slow" and "hard to aim precise" he sure seems to zoom around the map at mach 5, sometimes literally flying around -- just a million times more mobile than me. and, he is still able to aim precise as gently caress and destroy anything and everything way faster then me with his superior damage. he is always able and ready to take out any type of threat, or at least more prepared for anything than i could ever be with his 4 slots compared to my 2. he is always more ready to take out ships (super fast), any type of enemy, long range, short range, tank, evade trouble effortlessly, literally everything better than I can do. he practically never dies. if I bring one wrong weapon out of my 2 i am basically useless sometimes. seems like that class has actually no downside from my perspective. it was like this in 4.1, it's still like this in 5. i mean ranger can still bring some stuff to the table but it seems useless in comparison. i was hoping that would have changed in 5 but the dynamic so far still seems to be there, even with the ranger buffs. am i just bad or something? i really want to just play ranger, as the time i tried fencer i was immediately turned off. but it seems like , when i watch him do his thing, im just kicking myself in the dick for no reason. i honestly cant think of something i can do better than a fencer, other than call up vehicles now which i am not familiar enough with yet to factor in. he can do more damage from distance (like way loving further than my snipers), do more damage close up, do more damage to ships, more mobility, more survivability, better everything.
