I was expecting them to just tack new levels on to the end but instead they've slipped them in throughout the campaign. They've also changed a lot of the older stages, mostly in the interest of making poo poo even more ridiculous than it was before. It's awesome.

How do people grind for armor? Everyone I play with has hundreds more than me right out of the gate, with like the same completion percentage. It's like everyone in Japan got together and agreed not to go online until after grinding a ton.

I'm curious how exactly PS+ works with this. Do you all have JP PS+ subscriptions or can you play online just fine if you're playing this on a US account with an active PS+ subscription?

Doesn't matter what region your plus account is

Yo so it totally won't let play anything beside level 1, everything else just has a rotating loading(?) icon and is greyed out. Everything appears to finished downloading, so what's up.

Sounds like you've only downloaded the bare minimum to begin playing and the rest is still silently downloading in the background. Go to the game icon in the ps4 main menu and hit the options button and then go to information to see how much is actually downloaded.

Ok, I'm at 4.5 gigs out of 6.1 so that's why. This playing games before they're finished downloaded is weird to me and make feel like a videogame grampa because I don't understand the point of it.

It's really dumb that there isn't a big notice like HEY YOU HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DOWNLOADED THE WHOLE GAME YET anywhere.

Can anyone say if the net code is any better with 4.1? My friends and I tried playing 4 on PS3 and kept getting disconnected. That combined with the long load times meant we played maybe 1 mission every half hour. (this was around launch, not sure if they patched it).

Also, how are the load times as well?

I've only had one big disconnect in my time with 4.1, and considering everyone I've played with is on the other side of the planet it seems pretty solid.

Great news, but I dunno if I can convince my gf to play through it for the 4th time.

fwiw it's not the exact same. A lot of stages have been changed, some are on different maps, there's new enemy behavior, and there are new stages too.

What are the snafu's associated with having a sub account in a different region. Im assuming PS+ etc doesnt carry over, but are there also purchasing issues?

I basically just want to see what kind of hoops it would take my Australian friend to jump through to play this with me assuming the NA and EU versions dont share servers.

He just needs a valid payment method for the region the account is in. Paypal, psn cards, something.

It loving sucks that 4.1 got delayed to December 8th apparently. At least I'll have yakuza 5 and the bloodborne dlc to tide me over. I saw some new videos of the localization and how the depth crawler appears in tunnels is hilarious to me.

IIRC you need a melee wep in one hand and a shield in the other, then you just alternate dashes and shield thrusts to get around very quickly.

I've seen rumblings about the Fencer getting a new evade in 4.1...can someone tell me exactly what that is? I'm a dumbo who can't figure it out.

When you get launched you can dash to recover quickly instead of having to wait for yourself to stop ragdolling. Wing Diver can do the same

Finally got the time to download this today.

I never really got into playing Air Raider last time around, fixing that mistake right now. Blasting bugs in a gold-plated Spider Tank is a pretty good start. It wouldn't be EDF if you could actually control the thing once you're on a wall though!

Are weapons shared across character classes? I started with the regular soldier but I think wing diver looks like a lot of fun once you have some armor.

nope, every class has different weapons and you can only collect them while playing as that class. armor isn't shared either.
