>no EDF thread
Simply unacceptable.tfw stuck on level 54 on fucking normal.
>ever having to play below Hard
Did they overhaul the levels that drastically in 4.1 or is OP just a shitter?
>>320336689
Some are difficult
>>320336689
I'm just a shitter I think. I have no idea why I'm getting stuck the game has not really been all that challenging yet and then I'm suddenly hitting a wall here. There's just too many drones for me too handle with my current weapons I guess. The Reds take fucking forever to kill and they always end up killing me.
Where do I start with this series? Release order?
>>320337952
Just play the newest games anon. The story isn't important at all.
>>320336689
Im doing that but fuck God my armor is like half of everyone else
>>320338047
Okay, thanks. Looks fun as fuck.
My copy of 4.1 finally shipped. Still been working on EDF2 on normal in the meantime.
What classes have mobility in 4.1 anyhow? I'm started to get rather tired of rolling everywhere as Infiltrator in EDF2, but that's also after having done it for 50 hours already in EDF2017P.
>>320338356
hell yes it is
>>320336689
I feel like they either upped the damage in 4.1, or added boatloads of more enemies.
It's really easy to get stunlocked or trapped and just have your armor melt, even on normal, and I never had that issue in any of the other games, even vanilla 4.
>>320338478
fencers are heavy armor that have a short boost
wing divers are like the pale wing
air raiders are rangers with air strikes and vehicles instead of big guns
rangers roll
vehicle controls are decent enough
How are loadouts handled in splitscreen? Shared with player-1, or separate?
Just got this in the mail, fucking awesome artwork. Keeping it sealed so I can finish Xenoblade.
I wish I picked up 4.1 as well for the 20% off at BB. It won't become rare will it? I was planning to pick it up later after finishing Xenoblade and EDF2.
>>320336689
Been doing hard with a new character online. Currently up to 48. Some of that shit is balls hard.
>>320338981
EDF2 art is reversible also.
Play the first few levels on Hard to grind better weapons. Can't recall if EDF4.1 had a homing missile launcher but in EDF2017P, I got one of those and spammed the shit out of it on the first mission with the ravager spaceships everywhere, go some Inferno weapons
>>320339154
Homing missile launchers in 2017P were the best.
>>320339001
Playing online is generally harder because the enemy health is increased, you really need teammates who know what they're doing.

This doesn't seem very B movie anymore, guys.
>>320339154
Can't speak for rangers, but Air Raiders have a missile launcher vehicle.
>>320339324
Yeah, I know. Which is why I always find at least one decent player and two shitters who want to run ahead with only 500 armor and always fucking die.
>still waiting for best buy to restock EDF 4.1 and EDF 2 on their website
does edf 2 run well on vita? i figured since they ran so bad on the consoles it would probably run even worse on the vita but everyone seems to like it
>>320339419
Did you know there is one more variant of ant? They're little black ones. And they've got goddam rocket boosters strapped to their backs.
>>320339538
It runs pretty damn well.
Only slow downs I've seen came from standing right next to walking tanks right as they go nova.
>>320339467
>Can't speak for rangers, but Air Raiders have a missile launcher vehicle.
I've never found a use for that damn thing, it's just too lightly armored. I got more mileage with the vegalta armed with 2x missile launchers.
>>320339538
EDF2 either runs a good 30 for the most part, or it tanks for sometimes inexplicable reasons to 10-15fps.
>>320336296
My copy arrives tomorrow!
>>320339570
Pics or it didn't happen
>>320339749
If you can get to the edge of the map without aggro you can dump way more missiles downrange with that than with a vegalta. But yes I see your point. They're really better for online.
>>320339893
Go online, and do the red ant beach level on hardest. That's the only time I've seen them. Also I wasn't being literally about the rocket booster. But they will fuck your shit up.
Sometimes I wish armor health was shared between classes. So tedious grinding that shit everytime to make the jump from Hard to VeryHard/Inferno.

Anyone tried share-play on 4.1 yet?
>>320340174
Such is life in the EDF.
>let a bunch of enemies swarm me
>call in spritefall
>quickly roll out of the way and watch them blow up
I know this will get me killed on higher difficulties but I just can't kill them effectively from afar.
>>320339797
>or it tanks for sometimes inexplicable reasons to 10-15fps.
You know how when you attack one of those insect hill/holes where they spawn from and it always have a dusty smoke animation effect when it gets attacked.
I ran up to one of those holes where ants spawned from with a rapier gun that those pale divers have.... started blasting the hole and the frame rate dropped like bricks. You could see the game trying to create so many of those dust animation that the frame rate couldn't keep up.
>>320340174
>missile barrage a tower nest
>one of the deflector flying saucers bounces a missile back at you
>>320341253
I had the framerate tank for no real reason in a cave mission just shooting a missile at 5 ants. It took around 10 seconds to resolve itself despite being a normal thing you do often in the game.
On the flipside, best thing about the game's particle effects is how they react when you set an explosive off near them.

>>320341681

>>320341759
Usually that's how it goes, but some missions you just don't have the time.
>>320336296
Why is this cover so much better than the shit they picked
How the heck do you beat Mission 78 (the last one) as a Pale Wing in EDF2? Am I supposed to go collect armor upgrades and higher difficulty weapons from earlier chapters? It doesn't seem possible as I am now, my health melts and I can't dodge with flight for long.
>>320341968
anon that is the cover
>>320341968
u wot
>>320343219
>>320343295
Then what's the one on metacritic
>mfw its coming out on steam
>>320336296
Why the fuck wasn't this a PC release? It would resolve a lot of the issues they're experiencing.
The consoles can't handle a game of this magnitude.
>>320343075
Collecting armor and weapons is always the answer.
>>320343764
The game already runs at a stable 60 FPS on PS4 f︂︂a︂m
>>320343764
Was Insect Armageddon not enough for you?
>>320344012
>stable 60 FPS
it runs at sixty but it sure as hell dips. Even a very good PC would dip from this game.
>>320343473
The Japanese cover.
>>320338478
Wing diver is the easiest to get around with, fencer is second once you can dash cancel, air raider is third because vehicles, ranger is last because you gotta roll everywhere.
>>320339419
Yeah, 4.1 (and to a lesser extent 4/2025) is for sure Michael Bay's EDF compared to EDF2's tokusatsu vibe. Not that that's a bad thing, just different.
>>320343764
silence, beggar
when the steam version comes out and it drops below 60 you'll be whining about what a lousy port it was
>doing co-op
>playing as Air Raider
>call in a tank
>teammate shoots me with a rocket and takes the tank refuses to revive me
I thought EDF was exempt from this faggotry
>tfw Sony will never sponsor an EDF game programmed by Santa Monica, but developed by Sandlot
>with full VR support
Is there splitscreen online co-op like on the Xbox 360?
Does the fps drop badly in the final mission or during those boss battles with all the lasers?
post some webms pls
>>320345196
Splitscreen is offline only unfortunately.
>>320344851
Wow, what an asshole, you'd think the topic of Humanity vs Giant bugs would drive them to see other players as their brothers in arms who they love with their lives?
>>320345365
Damn.
Will wait for PC then.
