wish it was on PC. Incest Armageddon is nice, but dead
>join room
>everyone leaves the second I join

>tfw you learn how to dash cancel
>>319836906
you probably smell
>>319836954
>that feel when everyone uses the spike launchers to go fast
>that feel when I use the piercing cannon instead which fires fast enough and actually does damage
It's hard to aim when moving around at the speed of sound, but trust me and we will flatten the city
Mission 11 is a load of shit.
Yo these games arn't my type and only loser play them
Pic related its me
>first EDF game, 30 missions in and having fun
>go back to first mission on inferno and get rekt the fuck out
>try on hardest, made it further but still rekt
How does anyone beat the crazy missions with hectors and drones everywhere on anything higher than hard? What are the best weapons?
>>319836531
How do I Fencer?
What weapons should I go with?
can you only dash when you have a shield?
when everyone are Wing diver I want to play something different
>>319837167
You need two things: firstly, you need to select Wing Diver instead.
Secondly, you need to spam the fuck out of the Idunn Custom series.
>>319837348
Ok thanks I will try that, been playing as Ranger
>>319835751
someone needs to enlighten those chinks about the concept of ANTIALIASING
>>319837301
To fencer, you must first attain inner peace and become one with the fast. Once you are ready, you now actually have a couple of options in 4.1, since miniguns now have a useable boost. It's not as good as melee weapons, but it's useable.
Shields are a mixed bag, I personally don't like using them because they have a very limited arc of protection which becomes worthless as you get swarmed, but they do have one use. The smallest, energy-looking shield can spam the fuck out of the parry secondary ability, which sends back any projectiles the enemy fires at you. In cave missions with lots of spiders, this basically means the death of all spiders.
Other than that, equip a strong melee weapon and a dash cancel-able weapon like those spike launchers or those underarm single shot cannons, and boost -> fire -> boost -> fire etc. It's pretty simple to do, and once you get the timing down you'll be unstoppable, way faster than even the Wing Diver, and since in 4.1 the Fencer goes straight through destructible obstacles you only need to watch out for actual geometry and buildings stopping your fast.
>>319837785
btw is there a list of showing what type of weapon that will enable you to dash?
I try using a Sword in one hard and Pile driver on other but then it give me a Jump boost instead of dashing
>ally or bug part flies in front of me as I fire my rockets
>>319838737
Not that I know of, sorry, you'll just have to test them out.
Just got the game today
How should I progress in this game?
Should I beat the game on Normal first or is Normal a waste of time?
>>319839805
My usual tactic is to play normal for a bit, get a decent weapon, then try the first few missions on hard, get a really good weapon, they power through normal carried by it until I have enough armour to try Hard for real. Going through on Normal once is fine though, but it might get a little easy toward the end depending on drops you get.
>>319839805
I'm getting absolutely raped by the first fucking level. I tried everything but can't get in the tank? How do get in the tank?
>get hit once by a hector
>stunlocked to death
okay
>>319840205
hit O when in the light circle next to it.
you cant get in your NPC tanks btw
got to be the one you called with Air raider
>>319840528
I'll try that. I want to get the hang of this game before going online like I did with FW.
Will we ever see EDF 4.1 on PC? Shit even just 2025, I like all the new weapons and shit it brings over IA and the other one, though it's fucking horrible to play on the 15 FPS PS3 and I'm imaging the PS4 EDF 4.1 will dip to 30 easily.
>>319840884
4.1 actually runs at a pretty consistent 60 FPS, only dips in extreme circumstances.
>>319840949
I really need more games to come out for PS4 that I'd be interested in, I can't justify it just for Bloodborne and EDF.
>>319840528
Still can't get into that tank in the first level. There's the whole light thing around it and I'm pressing O but all that's happening is the weapons are switching
>Japanese version not cross-compatible with English servers
oh
Well shit. That said there are still Japanese rooms, but I wanted to play with /v/.
god damn it. Guess I'll download it.
>>319841104
You probably changed your button config. Go to options and check them.
>XCOM: Enemy Waituu-Piggu

Are you playing EDF 2 or 4.1?
Where should I start getting into EDF?
Assuming I can only play on PC
>>319841904
2
Just found out it was select. Shit mission is still crazy with tank. Ants fucking errwhere
>>319841925
You don't. Insect Armageddon is the Godzilla 1998 of EDF.
Or emulate EDF 2 (English name was Global Defence Force) for the PS2, it doesn't emulate great though. Expect low frames and sound bugs.

>>319835751
no SJW, but that slut armour looks like shit and completely out of place.
>>319842437
He can emulate the PSP port of EDF 2 instead. Your PC doesn't have to be too good to run it well because PPSSPP is magic.
>>319843250
I mean yeah, but it is worse than the PS2 version.
>>319843214
Wing Divers, while being in my opinion the funnest class to play, are ugly as shit. The only thing worse is the Air Raider's face plate.
I wish there was some level of customization of armor besides color, because it gets real boring to look at the same person for several hundred hours. I don't know how Fencerfags do it, looking so bland.
>>319843537
EDF 4.2: Hats Edition
>>319843637
For the love of god, just let me change my wings or my fucking pony tails.
I don't need a full monster hunter amount of armors; just two or three versions of Wing Diver to switch between when I get bored of one.
seriously fuck the hectors
>>319843307
Not really, the PSP version has more missions than the PS2 release.
So how do I git gud at this game? Everything is overwhelming me and fucking my shit up.
lol
>>319845661
Plebs
>European release delayed until February
Fuck you Marvelous.
>>319845493
Grind for armor and better weapons.
>>319845824

>>319840949
>only dips in extreme circumstances.
Like any time you have the giant robot at all, or lots of projectiles.
>>319841121
What the fuck? 2025 was.
>Tfw insect Armageddon is the only edf game I've bought
>Tfw played 2017 and loved the shit out of it
>Tfw sour as fuck about it
>>319846167
Doing that requires me to make a US account and then buy US store cards at inflated prices because credit cards are region-restricted. Fuck that shit.
>>319837152
Oh, hey, Spider-bro. How's your Human? You been keeping him fed?
>>319846262
Well, 4.1 sure isn't. I can only see Japanese rooms, unless every American player is fluent in the runes.
... wait. I may have misinterpreted preset messages as them being Japanese. Damn it, now I have to check.
>>319846262
No, it wasn't.
Was doing a from base hard mode run online with a group of guys.
The underground levels are the fucking worst if you don't have 2000+ health and the weapons for it.
So I just started playing 2025 for the first time, and I felt like I should ask. Is there any reason at all to play Soldier when Fencer exists?

>>319845661
I thought it was pretty accepted that the EDF series gets blasted by reviewers for being conceptually and graphically simple. Also it can be hard as balls, and we all know that the only time hard games get good ratings is when they're marketed as such.
EDF is just marketed as "Game where you kill a shitload of things, sometimes with friends" and we all know just how highly reviewers think of Monster Hunter.
Hell, I only learned about the EDF series because 2017 was in a discount bargain bin at Gamestop for like 12 bucks. I didn't know it existed or what it was about before then.
So when the fuck is EDF 4.1 gonna be officially announced for PC? Kinda sad that the only game on pc at the moment is Insect Armageddon.
>>319847114
>and we all know just how highly reviewers think of Monster Hunter.
lol
Did they update the Air Raiders turrets? I remember there being no high level ones in 2025.
How are you supposed to do mission 19? The moment you get inside the barrier the Hectors fuck your shit up.
>>319847243
Sooner or later EDF is going to reach that same middle ground of managing to appeal to journalist casuals without abandoning the core fans. It'll probably sacrifice that campy arcade aesthetic though.
>>319847475
EDF is casual garbage.
>>319847243
Casual plebs
>>319847592
>Casual plebs
play EDF.
>>319847449
We did that shit on hard with new characters anon. You can do it.
>>319837167
start mission 11 on inferno
run to the back
wait till mothership and theres only like 5 or 3 planes
collect green boxes
repeat witch each class till you weapons lvl50
>>319847449
Stay the fuck away from them. Keep your distance so that they don't stun lock you to death and you can avoid most of their projectiles. Use an explosive weapon from far range to destroy them and use the buildings for cover. Poke into the shield once in a while to shoot the shield bearer. If a Hector is too close to the shield's wall for you to do anything, try to lure the Hector out of the shield instead.I actually managed to complete this mission using only this grenade.
Are the DLC missions in 4.1? One of those levels was great for grinding weapons.
hey guys is insect Armageddon the bad one because it's the one I got on sale
I FUCKING HATE GRENADES THEY'RE SO BAD
is the online mode harder than single player mode or something?
does enemy scale with number of players you have?
this game is so much fun
>>319848498
>Firecrackers
>The grenade series that had a wind up throw, but had a larger blast radius than some Fencer artillery
Stop using shit grenades
And stop using grenade launchers
>>319849519
But grenade launchers are the only decent grenade related item especially the napalm launcher during underground missions since the napalm actually makes it less of a pain in the ass to see shit
>>319847979
>those wind-up grenades that come out as FUCKING MASSIVE GRENADES 10x the size of your character model
>literally impossible to throw them far enough to not kill you in the blast
First time I threw one I kek'd hard. I think their only use is in that one single mission in the tunnels with the large drop right at the start, so you can throw it off the edge if you're incredibly careful.
>>319848532
It's something like
1 player: 3 x health (so you can't solo it)
2 players: 1.5 x health
3 players: 2 x health
4 players: 3 x health
How does the grenades aim anyway?
I try using Blast grenade and keep killing everyone with it.
>>319850692
Hold the trigger.
wasn't one of these confirmed to be coming to steam?
fuck I want to play 4.1 so bad
>>319845824
>read that it came out
>holy shit yes
>discover this
first super mystery dungeon now this
fuck everything
>tfw weapon dry spell because you have one super good weapon for the difficulty and just about everything else is shit
This is probably my biggest problem with Wing Divers
You'll get one good weapon, and everything else is just not as good. I'm pretty sure I used nothing but a single lightning crossbow for the entirety for Hardest missions in 2025
>>319850692
Hold the trigger until the arc stops growing, then aim with crosshair. Note: If you're going for the longest distance possible with a throw, you won't be able to see where the marker is pointing on the ground. So you'll just have to become experienced with grenades to nail long distance throws.
Low blast radius grenades are super user friendly (Firecracker is probably the safest grenade for retards), so you can get started by just tossing them while back pedaling. Grenades tend to have higher than normal damage for their level (ie a level 15 grenade can out DPS a level 15 rocket, with a better blast radius), but that's only to make up for how clunky and odd to use they are. Git Gud with grenades and you can punch way the fuck above your weight class.
>>319851291
At least it's nto region locked, if you care to import.
>>319843250
Emuparadise Rip of Global Defense Force (EDF2) is not working properly on my console. Is there a proper rip of the game?
Also, i've tried running EDF2 portable on ppsspp but it runs like ass. Please share your setting anon.
>>319846356
Just buy online codes from Amazon US and set your address to some random US address bro. That's how I buy US PSN prepaid codes using a Canadian credit card.
Does anyone still play 2025 on 360 anymore?
>>319852275
Disabling vertex cache is all I had to do to get it running smoothly
>>319852825
Thanks mate. Hopefully i'll get it working before my copy of 2025 arrives!
>>319852916
I forgot to ask. Will i miss anything if i skipped out on 2 and jumped straight to EDF4?
>scrolling through rooms in 4.1 seeing if there are any worth joining
>PARTY CHAT ONLY
>MISSION 98 EASY DIFFICULTY WEAPON FARM
>AIR RAIDERS ONLY
also have ascreenshot from few days ago of kuck room
>>319853408
The story is completely unimportant in these games. Even if you do care about inconsequential references, 4 only makes references to 3 (stuff like "woah that happened 7 years ago!"), never to 2. EDF 2 does have enemy types and environments that are unique to the game and not found in others in the series though.
>>319847243
That's only AFTER monster hunter got popular.
When Monster Hunter started on the ps2 and throughout the psp days, it also got scores around 70s from most reviewers. But after reviewers realize it's pretty popular and lots of people love it, they jumped on the bandwagon and started giving it good scores.
EDF isn't really that difference, except it's not as popular yet.
Whats the best EDF game?
>>319854602
4.1, hands down.
>>319854602
Insect Armageddon
>>319854863
>>319854602
2017 for singleplayer
4.1 for multiplayer
>>319855396
> 2017 for singleplayer
But you can play online on the vita version...
>>319855396
>2017 for singleplayer
>less missions than 2 or 4
>no Air Raider or Fencer
>best
>>319855396
So should I not get 4.1 if I have no friends?
>>319855698
4.1 is still great singleplayer, I'm not sure why he doesn't think so. I think it's the best in the series in every regard.
>>319837152
Any news on the PC port of this shit? I don't want to waste $300 to play it.
>>319855698
>So should I not get 4.1 if I have no friends?
Play online with randoms.
>>319856101
You're a fool if you think it wasn't a fake list.
>>319849519
Throwing those stupid powerful grenades down the nest in the really vertical ones is strangely amusing though.
As is fucking everything up with grenades when playing with mates.
>>319856101
Someday brother, but now is not our time.
>>319838737
I want to say jackhammers are the only melee weapons with the jump booster, all of the others have dash boost.
The best shields for dashing are the Ion Mirror shields (the bucklers). The javelin catapult is for when you want to go sanic fast.
>>319856350
I hope the studio doesn't die before they make the port because sonyggers don't buy anything that isn't kawaii uguu shit or dudebro garbage.
>>319856436
Only problem with the javelin catapult is that it's worthless for damage, you absolute can't use it as a weapon. That's why I prefer to go a little slower but use an actually effective weapon to dash cancel.
>>319848070
The DLC is still DLC, blame D3publisher for that one. Xseed did confirm in their EDF2 Vita stream that we'll be getting them before too long, though.
LET'S SEE SOME ID MINER
>>319856441
Lol pcfag complaining about no sales, that's fucking rich when shit doesnt sell on pc until it's 2 bucks on a Holiday deal.
>>319848070
>>319856656
Are the DLC missions all different from 2025's?
>>319856721
Yean and steam takes alot less for letting people sell stuff on their platform. I wouldn't be surprised if even with $5 sales PC makes devs way more money.
>>319837167
Wing Diver electric weapons are pretty good for dealing with crowds because they have a chain lightning effect. The Eclat series is good if you just want to do a lot of damage to everything in front of you, the thunder bows are more of a focused shotgun blast.
So is this worth getting? I loved 2017 but I am worried the multiplayer scene is going to die out fast.
>>319856909
Idunn Custom series best series
>>319856959
The multiplayer isn't vital to the game. That said, there are still Japanese servers pretty much all the time, and you only need 4 people to have a full game, so I think there's a good chance that the multiplayer will actually survive in some capacity. There are also level limits on weapons depending on mission number/difficulty, so some random with every weapon can't come in and COMPLETELY stomp everything for you.
Is EDF 4.1 worth it ify ou refuse to pay for the scam of paid console online?
>>319856806
Going off of the google translated version of the EDF wiki they're remixes of the DLC packs from 2025 (a bunch of the mission names are the same). About what you'd expect, really.
>>319855698
4.1 is better in every way, don't listen to that guy.
>>319857226
Yes.
>>319855698
as a loser with a dead-end job and no friends outside of the internet I enjoy murdering a million bugs
Live in Aus. Should I just get this on my US account? I have PS+ on my Aus account but not my US account. I should still be able to play online since both accounts are on the same system and the system is set as the primary right? I don't mind shelling out a few extra shekels if it means not having to wait an extra 3 months.
>>319840884
Just finished 4.1 with a friend a few minutes ago, last mission ran consistently <15 fps, it was pretty terrible.
96(?) Missions btw
>>319857785
No reason not to, The EU/AU release will share servers with NA anyway.
>>319857785
Yeah, if you buy it on that console any profile can play it as if it were theirs.
>>319836801
Be patient
https://steamdb.info/sub/81620/
>>319856827
In the least it would be selling though.
>>319857226
Yes, it's worth it solo although Air Raider isn't as fun when you're not murdering newbs with airstrikes. You can also splitscreen for two players.
FUCK mission 24
>>319858624
Is that GIANT ROBOTS where you're forced to fend off a bunch of Hectors in town or the one with the Hectors and Shield Bearers on the plains
>>319859149
the one after giant robots. this one has like 5 carriers with drones flying around
>>319859403
Oh that's the one where the fucking Kaiju just shows up out of nowhere after you destroy the carriers right?
>>319859501
i've only gotten down to the last carrier before dying so i don't know, that sounds pretty good though
>>319859679
You shoot him for like 10 minutes before he decides to just leave once he does show up though
>Mission 27
Did they make that shit any easier?
>>319854556
Except EDF is literal trash memegame. It's the equivalent of those irredeemable SyFy original films.and not the Sharknado series, just the flat-out terrible ones
Splash Grenade was a bad idea for this tunnel mission fucking keep blowing myself up
>>319835751
So what are the major differences between 4 and 4.1?
>>319861436

Sandlot, do you know what "Hardest" means
haven't had this much fun destroying buildings since Battletanx on N64
