Bloodplay it again posted:There are only two reviews on metacritic at the moment, both by unknown (to me) game sites, one of which couldn't even bother proofreading the first sentence of their review. Siliconera is livestreaming it right now on twitch. Link The Siliconera stream sure makes it feel like the writers and voiceovers skipped the amusing cheese of the normal EDF games for some kind of semiserious tone. Gameplay looks ok, though.

I bought the PC version of EDF today and it is soooo good Only complaint is that the EDF songs are not as good as the ones in 4.1, but I can live with that.

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.

Wow. I was not ready for mission 62 and neither were the fencer NPCs I got with me on the mission. Too bad they refused to stay in the parking garage even after I found one.

Does anyone have loadout suggestions for doing mission 109 as a lone Ranger (941 Armor)? I and the dozen or so NPCs still left keep dying to the floating purple laser cannons once I get to the final faster spinning ring around the ship after taking down transport ships, ground troops, the big cannon, all outer rings and both shields. It's almost like the damage output doubles towards the end and I can't take out the whatever is shooting me fast enough. The entire mission up to that point works fine with my NPC deathball and I just rolling around and wiping things while I pick up the occassional health pack for them, but they just melt away in less than two minutes in that final phase. I've mostly been trying the E9 Hornet rocket launcher and either the T1 Stork LS assault rifle or the Slaughter E22 GA shotgun as my weapons, with the Lightweight Protector E2 as support gear for running to/from health pickups or enemies faster.

Lexorin posted: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. I would not be surprised if they got things mixed up by accident but decided it was more fun that way and just kept it around.

Mr Phillby posted:If EDF is good at one thing its building up to that one moment in the final mission, just after the mothership enters its desperation phase and goes nuts with the lasers, where the radio chatter gets bleak because all hope is lost and then, against all possible odds, someone pipes up on the radio with "wait! Theres still somebody out there fighting!" And its you, they're talking about you and YOU'RE loving DOING IT YOU'RE SAVING THE GODDAMN EARTH SINGLEHANDEDLY. I feel like 4.1 built up to that final mission better than 5 does. 5 does raise the stake slowly, but then you just stumble upon the final boss by accident, as far as I can tell.

40 Proof Listerine posted:Late to the party and finally playing through EDF 4.1 on Normal > Hard after getting stuck around mission ~40 trying to do hard/ hardest with way too little armor. As Wing Diver on the city maps, I would usually just pick one of the taller skyscrapers and fly up to stand on it. That way you don't need extreme range weapons or be actively flying to attack earth eaters. Mr Phillby posted:There's some build up in 5, it's just a lot less memorable than 4.1 because Ohara the ravager expert was an amazing character, ofc you're going to remember him going out in a blaze of glory so you can find and defeat THE BRAIN. Yeah, I just wish they could have had us fight one normal mothership first, or something. It's such a leap at the end from mostly "regular" enemies to "whoops, here's the end boss" with almost nothing in between.

I made the mistake of trying to solo mission 22 on hard mode in a multiplayer room with a shotgun and the MLRA-2 missiles with multiple lockon support gear. The first three pylons went ok, but once I got to the last three pylons and lost all the NPCs it took a loooooong time to kill even one pylon while being swarmed by red ants and jumping spiders. At least I got 58 armor and 4+ pages of equipment pickups listed afterward

Songbearer posted:I got 4.1 during the sale but haven't played it yet since I'm working on my backlog, but everyone is raving about 5. I've never played an EDF before, is 5 to 4.1 what Monster Hunter World is to the rest of the series? 5 has some quality of life improvements such as decent mouse controls in the menus, but once you are in a mission it's very similar to 4.1 other than a different story. Try 4.1 first if you already have it

redreader posted:Just got to mission 41 and getting absolutely wrecked by green lasers. Any loadout recommendations? I'm playing ranger with an assault rifle and a sniper. Basically, when you get to the last phase of the mission (that is when the base starts rising), immediately run away and take up position somewhere far off with some buildings for cover, ignoring the instructions command is giving you about getting close. Then, start sniping the lasers, preferably the green ones whenever you have a clear shot on them. I did it with a rocket launcher instead of a sniper rifle, but the general strategy should work just fine regardless. I had accidentally picked up a sniper rifle wielding ranger squad and a fencer squad during the earlier parts of the mission and most of the health pickups I grabbed was just for keeping them alive while they helped me with whatever enemies strayed over to our sniping position. Once you have removed most of the cannons, you can start inching your way towards the base and clearing things out bit by bit. Just keep moving around while you're out sniping to avoid the artillery fire, unless you take the time to clear those cannons, too.

Section Z posted:There were a few maps I legitimately swear by the free bike warts and all, like chasing after the fortress. So I could zip over to help Air Raiders and revive wing divers between chasing the fortress and whittling the limbs off cyber frogs so the fencers have an easier time giving them a surprise colonoscopy. I think there is a quick chat option that says something like "get in this vehicle".

The guided rocket launchers are a lot of fun on missions where the queens show up. Once the first few hit and cause it to ragdoll in the air you can guide the rest so they either smash it down to the ground or fling it way up in the air They are also not terrible against the deroys since you can just guide them to hit the main mass without having to think about the leg cannons.

vkeios posted:The pill bugs rule. On the first mission with them, I was playing as wing diver so I was super excited to have some enemies with no ranged attacks after all those drat greys. On mission 87, or whatever that weapon farming mission is, if you run to the cover immediately at the start and then look back towards where you left the NPC soldiers, you will eventually see the pill buggs jumping up into the clouds as they start heading towards your location. It's bizarre.

haunted bong posted:Mission 31, Normal. Mostly playing as Fencer, with a few dips into Ranger and Wing Diver You will definitely want to just back away from the start of the mission. Don't get underneath the base at any point, just stay away and let the NPCs tank the attack. Bring long range weapons so you can help shoot the drones and frog soldiers. Once you have met the snipers, just head over to the heavy tanks and stay a bit of a distance behind them for most of the rest of the mission.

How in the world does Iron Rain refuse to run in what should be fairly standard 2560x1440p resolution when I'm pretty sure even EDF4.1 for all its weirdness does so without a problem? It's Unreal Engine, even.

Bloodplay it again posted:Completely understandable. I will eventually create a cheat engine table to find those values so I don't have to use the injector, but having to use any third-party software to fix such an obvious issue is just asking for refunds. The pro to using a CE table over the injector is that you can freeze the value as long as the game remains open. The injector requires you to occasionally open up the console, press up, and re-enter the command because it swaps back to 1080/60 during some loading screens or cutscenes. I had no idea the multiplayer was so bad, but that's yet another reason to not keep it. Too bad they could not put out a better product

After seeing GiantBomb playing the recent 'meh' looking One Punch Man game, I wish they could have used the EDF5 engine instead and just made a game where you run around punching giant monsters in the face.
