EDF thread
Got 2 for the vita and holy shit this game was brutal first but I slowly got the hang of it. Now I play every mission on hard and just beat the centipede. It's still can get pretty brutal.
Who /infantry/ here? Grenades OP.
>>320123981
Bump for EDF
Fucking underground missions. Fuck.
>tfw no fencer on vita
>>320125349
What does the fencer do?
>>320125479
Go fast and fuck shit up with dual weapons.
>playing in anything but Inferno
>>320125669
How is this even possible at the start of the game?
>>320123981
How is this game?
Was thinking of buying it but it looks like it could get boring very fast
>>320125602
>go fast
Uhh no. Not nearly as fast as the wing diver and a ranger can out roll one.
>>320125886
It's not, he's just funposting.
>>320125158
You mean underground missions, fuck yeah! Right? Nothing more fun than flying through a horde of bugs in a tunnel as pale wing.
>>320126084
>he doesn't know about fencer dash cancelling
>>320126057
If you play on lesser difficulties it might get boring but play on hard or above and feel completely overwhelmed everytime and if you manage to come out of it alive then feel completely badass. Also it's hard to be repetitive when it constantly keeps you on your toes.
I hate those spiders the most. One for being spiders, and 2 for those really fucking OP webs they shoot out which damages and slows you basically meaning if 2 or more webs hit you, you're screwed.
>>320126087
Underground missions are kind of shitty in 4.1. Unlike the Vita game, it's absolutely pitch black except for a shitty light on your helmet.
Whenever I play online in one, I have to bring the napalm grenade. Even though it's shitty and becomes worthless even on Hard, it can work as a torch so you can actually see shit.
I never gave air raider a chance after that shit limpet gun and crappy sentries. Do they get better shit? The pale wing has some cool weps but the energy costs are tough to deal with. I found this one beam sniper or whatever that did like 6 times more damage than any other weapon I had but if you fire just one shot, all your energy is drained instantly. Maybe I just don't get it.
>tfw you just barely survived an entire horde of ants and shit and when you think blowing up that last one will finally end the mission, 50 more red spots pop up on your radar
When will I get a flamethrower that doesn't completely suck ass?
>mfw capacity: 40
So, twice now I've done online with a group of base characters on hard. And it's always the same missions that everyone runs into a wall. First is Airforce. The second is that one where you're all on the plains with a bunch of other EDF and 100+ robots. Whats a good strategy for that one? I managed to cheese one group through with Proteus, but not the second. Between the shields, multiple robots, drones, and bugs, this shit is tough.
Are you guys playing the japanese version?
>>320127326
Edf2 invaders from planet space came out on vita last week.
Why so little EDF love on this board?
>>320130401
>not nintendo
>no steam release
>requires a modicum of skill to beat
Sorry senpai, /v/ has become infested with casual normies.
EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF
When's this supposed to come out forEU
I'm thinking about getting 4.1 and convincing friends to get it. Any advanced skills I should know about? I think I know about fencer dash cancel.
Also the level where you first meet the flying robot ships is the best place to grind on 2025 (and maybe in 4.1?). Set difficulty to inferno, hide in city behind you, wait for robots to suicide bomb or get rekted by the EDF soldiers, collect loot.
>>320131904
Not anymore. They nerfed the shit out of that level. It's actually extremely hard now, and you can't cheese like that anymore
How do the vehicles and mechs handle in this game? Are they fun to use?
>>320131904
Yeah you can't do that anymore
>>320126435
>are kind of awesome
Fixed.
The first fucking queen is wrecking my shit on hard. Please advise.
>>320131978
>>320132019
Wait really? Oh fuck this
does anyone have a MP3 of the guys chanting EDF
The hilariously bad one
I need it for my ringtone but can't find it anywhere
>>320132864
The new farming level I hear is 70 something now.
>>320132571
Homing missiles shoot into the hole and run away, reload, repeat. At least that's how I did it.
Is there a reason I still cant see 4.1 on the marketplace? Was it pushed back?
>>320131904
In edf2 so far I've been farming with some successes, solus. He's so slow and easy but is a huge huge damage sponge so I just grab the highest damaging things I can get, a shotgun that does 950 damage right now and go to town on it. Also C24 to lay and detonate in its path.
I'm only up to mission 31 now though so I don't know where else is good to farm.
>>320133161
It's there but it's just super hidden. Hell, if you look up earth defense force on the PlayStation store it'll give you results for 2025 and insect Armageddon before 4.1. It doesn't even show up under new releases.
>>320132571
Underworld 4 Ant Queen?
Only experience I have with this series is Insect Armageddon on PC
Is this one of the better or worse one if the series?
>>320133759
Better. 2 has a huge variety of enemies and weapons alike as well as huge amount of content and missions. This new vita one also fixed a lot of things like shorter reload times and stuff.
>>320133759
From what I heared insect armageddon is the worst game in the series since it wasn't even made by the original devs.
>>320133061
Sorry, Air Raider
>>320133478
Yup
>>320134363
That's great, I enjoyed IA but it felt like it would get boring
I'm planning on picking up 2 when exams are done and I can goof off for a couple weeks.
>>320134558
Artillery?
>>320134967
Underground?
>>320135071
I'd say assess the weapons you got and if any are guided or long range remote detonatable. Maybe even just set some sentries at the entrance and run.
>>320123981
Best cozy game ever made. EDF2 Vita is fucking awesome.
>>320135345
Any of you guys play multi yet? Whenever I check there's no good rooms or some people waaay past where I am.
>orbital strike kills so many enemies you get another shot instantly
What are some missions in early-midgame to cheese for good equips and how?
>>320135460
Personally haven't yet, but I'm not much of an online play guy. Go over to /vitagen/ on /vg/, make a room and post it. They'll join you.
>>320135756
Yeah, so far struggling and feeling overwhelmed in solo has given me a much greater appreciation and sense of fun for the game. Multi seems like it be its own brand of fun but not as intense and harrowing as being a lone in a tunnel and hearing 50 tarantulas hopping down the hall towards you.
>>320135235
The problem with that is the queen dumps a hundred gallons of acid through that entrance.
Hmm, maybe I could use those beetle explosives. Might be able to ricochet off a wall.
>>320135684
Honestly, I've found the best way to get equips and armor is to just go online and play with a full group. Much faster and you'll unlock levels as you go.
I pray for the day I see a real EDF title on steam/PC. Only thing console generation has on PC. Hopefully those steam database links are legit.
>>320132571
EDF 2? I was using the ZER-GUN turrets and Roller Bomb to try to hit her from afar but her acid almost killed me and I had to backtrack to pick up health packs that I left behind.
>>320135915
Absolutely anon. Did you beat that one mission with the Queen flying ant yet? Nearly shat myself, both in awe and laughter because of the voice acting.
Also as a tip, get higher-up in levels playing on Normal, then once you get enough health, go back and redo lower levels on Hard to grind better weapons. This makes Normal somewhat easy, but endgame is basically about having enough health anyway so it all works out.
>>320136097
Yeah, I did as an infantry. J just ran towards the entrance, let loose my entire guided missiles mag into the hole, and run back off. I did take my share of gas damage but if it got too bad, I had a trail of dead bugs behind me who left medpacks.
>>320136395
Sorry. Meant 4.1
>>320136453
Oh well, the advice should still be somewhat useful, try using unmaned weapons to keep your distance and cheese her, Air Raiders just aren't meant to be put underground.
>>320136646
Yeah, that level is my online wall at the moment. Oh well, thanks.
Soccer Grenades = love
Where should I grind for weapons? I've got some decent ones as palebitch but they still suck
And is edf3 ever going to be localized for the vita?
4.1 is just a next gen 2025 correct? I played it on the 360.
Any word on new games?
>>320137319
But 2017 is 3
>>320137319
Solus inferno. Easy as hell, just takes a while but its your safest play for inferno.
>>320123981
Anyone have 2025 on PS3? I got the game for couch co-op but the frame rate slows down to a miserable 10FPS during split screen. What a fucking waste of money.
Is the new game on PS4 supposed to be a remake? If so did they fix this fuckin shit?
>>320138397
I got it on ps3 as well, always looking for more guys to play with. It pissed me off to when trying to play coop was a headachey chopper experience.
Is edf2 or 2017 on the vita better? Seems weird a port for an earlier game came out after one for a later game
>>320139223
Edf2 by far
>>320139223
EDF 2 is better, I have both. It has 1 more class, more missions, better enemy variety.
>>320138612
>>320138612
My PSN is yuffieXcore if you wanna add me. I'm always playing MGSV lately but I'm down to hunt some bugs with ya.
>tfw you're Air Raider and try your hardest to keep everyone alive but it still isn't enough.
I just can't get into air raider at all. Even pale wing is too squishy for my liking and the energy management screwing me over isn't fun. Infantry just seems to be my jam. Rolling around everywhere.
