abraxas posted:Okay guys, I've only ever played IA on Steam because I didn't own a 360 until June last year. After seeing everyone rave and love the poo poo out of EDF2017 I thought "hey, a EDF game I can actually play!" and bought it. I was extremely disappointed and wondered if you guys were all just insane or stupid or insanely stupid. I swore off EDF after just a couple of extremely boring and insanely ugly levels.

Chainclaw posted:The OP doesn't cover PS3 versus 360 features. Will the PS3 version of Earth Defense Force 2025 have everything the 360 version does? I would rather have it on that platform if it's comparable in features. The PS3 version has a worse framerate, especially in split screen. The PS3 version cannot combine split screen with online play, the 360 version can. The PS3 version does not "sign in" the second account for split screen play, so the second player does not save progression for weapon unlocks etc. The 360 version tracks both players progression. I'm not trying to dump on PS3 here, so if anyone has more accurate information feel free to correct me. What I would like to know: Does this game have any equivalents to the Genocide guns? I haven't found an answer to this anywhere yet. The Japanese wiki is impenetrable to non-speakers.

Hog Butcher posted:If you see the PS3 having framerate issues, compare with the 360. I don't know how 2025 handles it. I have not played the game yet on either system, so I'm only going off of what I've heard people say in multiple videos and commentaries. Just about everyone has mentioned that the PS3 frame rates are worse, but nobody has said that it is gamebreaking.

coyo7e posted:FuShnick, what about that change to gold accounts tied to a console? Has that not gone live yet, or was it only for XBones? It is really going to depend on whether or not the game devs use the "Allow guest accounts" code path for setting up multiplayer. Someone with the Japanese 360 version might be able to answer this, but since it was region-locked I don't know any english-speakers who have talked about it in that level of detail yet.

Abusing my Behind-the-Curtain privileges, I see that the 360 version is considered a separate TitleID from the Japanese one, so I don't expect them to be compatible.

Capoeira Capybara posted:I've been reading about EDF on here for a while, and I'm thinking about getting this new one for my son and I to play. He's been watching me play XCOM: EW and is all about killing aliens. I played all of EDF 2017 co-op with my 10-year old son, and it was a blast. Probably the best time we have ever had in co-op games. Now I'm waiting for the UPS truck to arrive so I can play again with him at 17

Air Raider is a really tough class to play without cooperation. Then I got a gun that shoots sticky webs like the jumping spiders do, and everything is awesome.

univbee posted:It does but only 1 player per console, you can't do split-screen and online, it's either/or. Also, playing split screen + online is annoying because the game has HUGE name indicators on your screen no matter where the other players are. In split screen, they can be really obscuring. I can't figure out how to turn that off, though I found an option that made it worse ("show gamertags -> on").

I can't seem to get the hang of dash cancelling with the fencer. Is it really just "dash reflect dash reflect"? That doesn't seem to work for me, using the starting shield/spear. One glitch I have noticed, if you use the vertical boost in the tunnel levels and scrape your head against the ceiling, you can "stick" to the ceiling for a prolonged time and build up a lot of forward speed.

You can deploy turrets while being mangled by an ant. Sometimes, this results in the turret being placed directly on top of the ant's head, and he becomes your mobile turret.

limited posted:Whoa. So busy playing Battlefield I almost missed this. Quick question though, is it like 2017 where you can just grind armour if you're having difficulty getting through a stage? I had a look at the quicklook on Giantbomb, and it looks like you have armour, and a health bar? The GB Quick Look was awful to watch. I can understand that not everyone enjoys this type of game, but to watch someone be so dismissive of it because he can't read words on the screen in front of him is just infuriating.

Railgun tanks are absurdly powerful for their level. Makes up for their side guns being absurdly weak. But seriously, the railgun outperforms every other tank I've tried, even ones 20 levels higher. It has a fast, flat, super accurate trajectory and a laser targeting beam so you can actually aim properly. A similar level Titan has more raw damage and blast radius, but the shots are super slow and hard to aim.

Using Satellite Blaster B on a Deroy makes him wig the gently caress out. Also, a totally pro move is to rescue teammates from the jaws of a red ant by using the satellite beam. "Just hold still!"

girth brooks part 2 posted:This makes up at least half of my deaths as a wing diver. Usually it's some giant gently caress off missile(s) that somebody fired off 30 seconds ago, and finally show up when I'm in the middle of doing my thing. The other half is me miss judging the explosive radius on a plasma launcher or grenade and going in to low for run only to blow myself up. Your completion percentage and armor levels seem kind of high for someone working on Hard still. Did you grind a lot of the easier difficulties first?

Section Z posted:This is why I'm now trying to decide if I Start up Wing Diver once I finish off Normal Ranger, or keep going with Ranger into hard. Everything weapon is serviceable and (mostly) normal, on Normal. But as I near the end, I get a taste of things to come. Also, for anyone who thinks Air Raider vehicles are terrible, just wait until you get higher level versions. They all start terrible, but get awesome in the end game. Except maybe the railgun tanks, they are awesome from start to finish (except one in the middle that fires in burst mode, it isn't very accurate). Gigantes tanks slow and dull? The high end ones are fast enough to drift race. BMX10 Proteus feels weak? The late-game version absolutely wrecks poo poo in Inferno difficulty, and has 160,000 durability.

Hyperactive posted:Hey, so the Air Raider starts with some deploy points for air raids and vehicles. The thing is, the cost of the items really depends on their TYPE, and not their level. Gigantus tanks always cost the same amount, even when you get a level 80 version of it. So do all the other vehicles of the same line... all Vegaltas cost the same, all Titans cost the same, and so on.

You still have to traverse the whole level to get their drops though. And you still have to deal with the lower group of ants. I'd only suggest it with a wing diver or dash-cancelling fencer.

Psycho Landlord posted:I'd just like to point out that on Inferno the Dragons get a massive speed boost - on the ground and in the air - on top of all the usual Inferno perks, and actually become legitimately terrifying in large groups. The also do a metric shitload of damage if they manage to grab you, way more than a red ant. So yeah, those of you still knocking around normal/hard have that to look forward to. I don't think any of the robots or spaceships move faster (except for gunships). Also, I found a level in the regular missions that is easily farmable by a solo Air Raider. It's in the 70's, and is titled "March of the machines" or something like that. It's on the dockyard map and has you fighting multiple deroys. I have the second best railgun tank (about 12000 damage per shot), and it will 1-shot the small deroys, and kills the super tall ones in 4 shots. The map starts with 5 small ones. The second wave is 2 big ones and 1 small, but they will not drop until the first wave is dead AND the sky eaters have gotten into position (which can take a while). The deroys are mostly not-dangerous, although if they focus fire the leg lasers on you at close range, your tank (and you) will melt.

Neo Helbeast posted:I finally got a Laguna Blaster and it is wildly, just okay. It's really impressive and does some decent damage, but the bombardment area is so big that you can't aim for specific enemies. If you had to choose between it and a Spritefall C, I'd take the Spritefall. You can start the game fresh on hard mode, bypassing normal and easy, and after the first two levels you should already have weapon upgrades that will let you go through all the game on Hard and keep up with the difficulty curve. You can even jump to Hardest halfway through if you are good at the game. When you have higher end Hardest weapons, it isn't that tough (but a little tedious) to find Inferno levels that you can farm. But despite having Inferno level weapons, it is still BALLS HARD to beat many Inferno levels without 1500 armor minimum. There just is no fast way to get armor, except for a few rubber-band tricks that still take hours and hours.

Mission pack 3 is going to be balls-hard in inferno. The levels are insane. Silver king spiders? I estimate them at around 20,000 hp on easy.
