Just bought this and its being weirdly choppy and jerky... like a metranome, even in menus it just halts a litttle like 'dut, dut, dut' its driving me up the loving wall so badly I can't even play it despite it being relatively minor.

Scalding Coffee posted:Those giant grays sure are fast when they feel like it. Even when we ambushed the one on the bridge at that six or so queen mission before the Not Retiarius introduction, he somersaulted so much and so fast, that he got behind a couple buildings that were not close to the bridge. Just another reason I fell in love with mentioned last page Shotgun+Emerald. Multi lock on accessory is hilarious, and you get the added bonus of the Grays often dropping everything in favor of trying to futilely dodge roll away from the missiles.

Play in windowed mode. I use Borderless Gaming for it, and that fixed ALL of my framerate issues, which beforehand were unplayably severe. If you're already in windowed mode, then I don't know what else to do.

Snake Maze posted:Do they effect the other players when you use them online? I don't care what anyone does in single player, but I know in 4 people using cheats would give max armor and weapon drops to other players in the multiplayer game, which really sucks if you want to actually play the game yourself. mostly no anything that happens in game proper can effect everyone, but unlocking weapons etc is done at the title screen. Infinite health and etc s h o u l d be clientside, as why the heck would someone control your client's health, but things like dropping a bazillion LOOTBOXes and etc would effect everyone, as everyone gets the loot. ie the infinite loot pick up range only effects the one person using it also; I'm glad that the air raider gets their BIG rear end NUKE within normal gameplay instead of at the end of inferno this time running around with two of those and just making my party members feel use impaired owned in 4.1

Watching that massive missile make a 90-degree turn to compensate for a last-second dodge, then embed halfway into the alien before detonating was the highlight of my day. Also I'm super-stoked that the Fencer's Vulcan Hammers made it in from 4.1, and I can confirm that they still do ridiculous amounts of damage for their charge rate. One fully-charged attack is enough to incapacitate a Colonist on hard multiplayer, allowing you to follow up with another swing on the head for the kill. Vibro/Roller Hammers still feel wimpy, though.

Saving either a single enemy or a tiny manageable group of them until after you're done getting most of the pick ups is a rite of passage god drat it and it should be honored every single mission.

it feels boss as hell to circle around or above buildings to point blank gank the humanoid enemies. it's risky and not particularly necessary most of the time, but dang if it isn't cool. unfortunately, missile cosmos have such large guns that i can never see poo poo when i'm at their feet.

Best yeet in the game is the MJ14, where the ranger will do a run up and scream as he throws it all of half a foot. It explodes on impact. There are no survivors.

BTW here's the hottest, air raidiest tip of all: You can attach your turrets to vehicles It's as fun as it sounds because it also has physics and you will almost certainly kill everything including yourself Also at least one of the ranger rockets has backblast lmao RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jul 16, 2019 |

The Vulcan hammers make it hard to use any other melee weapon after. I don’t even know if the other weapons are good, why would I want to use anything besides a huge hammer that makes a giant explosion? Plus your guy going “HHHHUUUUUUOOOOO” *EXPLOSION* can be heard by your teammates almost anywhere on the map. I know they appreciate hearing that 30x a minute.

Are there plans to be an E D F !!! avatar banner? I'd love it. I played the other EDF games but a only a while back on the X360--I really couldn't get into the PC ports because they were all too familiar. This game seems different enough, and much better, that I'm invested in the jarringly shlocky, cartoonish allies, and downright gorey dismemberment of my enemies. Before getting this game, I"d consider this series just mindless destruction that would quickly get stale, but playing on harder difficulties and mulling over all manner of classes and weapon types made me turn the corner. I'm glad I snagged it. EDF!!

What is everyone's favorite Yell emote to spam? My favorite is the "WAAAAA" one because every other voice sample is your dude just going "WAAAAAA" instead of "Whoooaa!" and man it makes me laugh every time. My buddy and I got to the first mission with the giant bipedal frogs with plasma rifles last night and we were laughing so hard while blowing off limbs left and right.

An EDF trooper commenting on the enemy foot soldiers posted:“Those aliens look like they’re afraid of water...but they aren’t.” After all they look like frogs, a species well known for being adverse to water. I also love the news reports highlighting the state of the economy and employment rate since the alien invasion. I suppose when peoples homes, places of work, cities and all their customers are annihilated by a horde of giant insects it does tend to bump unemployment up a bit. As much fun as blasting bugs is I don’t think EDF would be as good if it didn’t have the crazy dialogue.

I feel like they were going to use the greys first and then the frog troopers. Because that'd make more sense with the VO lines. The troops talk about how the frogs look JUST LIKE PEOPLE, but then they talk about how hideous the greys are.

4.1 mostly broke turrets on vehicles, since the turrets would instantly shred any vehicle you stuck them to. the heyday of turrets on helicopter rotors was regular 4.

Turrets on vehicles are fun but really dangerous because if you mount them wrong they will gleefully shred you. They also tend to block up most of your screen on the flatter vehicles so it's nearly impossible to see your laser sight, which kind of defeats the point of augmenting your firepower.

Like I said that’s why you gotta put the turrets on the enemies. Make them do the work for you! My favorite mission so far was sitting atop a parking garage tossing turrets onto the backs of ants and watching them shred each other like I was Michael Vick or some poo poo.
