So we all agree this is the best EDF game right?
>>321501342
It's pretty fantastic, senpai.
I'm just waiting for it to be the next game on steam that isn't being represented by insect armageddon.
>Inb4 Earth Defense Forth.
>>321502226
I'm not a console warring faggot
I hope it comes to PC so more people can play it and support Sandlot
I'd probably buy it again too
>>321502309
Yeah, would be pretty interesting to see how Earth Defense Force 4.1 would play out without all the frame rate drops on consoles.
>>321502504
The frame rate for 4.1 is pretty solid.
It only drops when there's a ton of shit going on.
>>321502504
I'm of the camp that actually equates some of EDFs charm comes from the massive FPS drops. Probably because every time they happen, it's because shit is getting fucking REAL on you're screen.
I don't know how I would feel about an EDF that didn't at least occasionally have maddening FPS drops.
No splitscreen online co-op is lame.
Framerate still dropping sucks.
2025 DLC wasn't even included for free.
Once it drops drastically in price it'll be worth the buy.
>>321503234
But the 2025 DLC WAS free, wasn't it?
Also, the framerate will never be stable. This is probably as close as we'll get until Sandlot gets budget backing
>>321503984
>Until Sandlot gets budget backing or until the pc version gets released.
Not trying to start a war, but just thought i'd mention that.
>>321503984
2025 DLC was not free to my knowledge. Or are all the DLC missions in 4.1 on disc?
They could have at least bundled all DLC on disc instead of re-releasing it and charging for it again.
>>321501342
This is basically a remastered version of EDF 2025 right?
Did they add anything new?
Is that a fuckin gundam I spot with my little eye?
>>321502309
i would rebuy it on PC if it got ported over
>>321504725
you can ride and control this in-game. i was in a game, and the air raider player called for two of these. i hopped on and it was pretty neat
>>321504725
no thas a fencer, 4 HUEG guns to flatten the place

>air strike called
>framerate drops to sub-15 while the sky is filled with more explosions than a Michael Bay movie
>>321506379
i remember this mangificent piece of engineering having actual combos, any truth on that?
>>321506379
Please tell me there's a deathmatch mode where you battle it out in these rock'em'sock'em robot style.
>>321506486
it's more of a right-left-right-left punch attack combo. it uses momentum from swings from both arms to start throwing downward haymakers after a little while. you'll lose the momentum if you press attack early or late. you'd just have to time it correctly, and it's not too hard
>>321506521
i'm sure there is because they do have a battle mode which i've never tried. i might have to see if they have any right now

Beat game as ranger, try out other classes, not bad. Hated the fencer until I found out about his dashing trick.
>>321507581
Trick? Only thing I managed to figure out in my limited time with it was being able to boost dash upwards, then cancel that with a dash forward.
Class was still hella slow feeling with that so I went back to Ranger.
>>321507445
>Wing Diver voice actress doesn't have a line that sings this
That annoys the fuck out of me.
>>321507713
I only wish the chat menu had an icon to notate which lines had a voice sample with it.
Also wish you could set profiles for the trackpad shortcut wheel since I'd want certain warnings based on my current class.
>>321507656
I'm on phone and can't be arsed to type it out. Use Google or your preferred search engine.

Shut the fuck up, Ohara.
How populated is the multiplayer?
Just started EDF2, should I stick with infantry or use waifu?
Is 4.1 worth buying if I already own 2025? How much more content does it have? Is splitscreen 60fps? How good is the netcode?
>>321508306
Please respond.
>>321508635
i has more guns, more levels and a usable giant robot
Is EDF4.1 worth it if I've never played an EDF game before?
>>321508906
Do you know how much more?
>>321508306
not hard to find rooms at the moment. you'll find them even when you make a room. i just hope it lasts for awhile
>>321508947
yes. it's very arcadey and pure gameplay among four classes
>>321508635
>Is splitscreen 60fps?
Most of the time.
> How good is the netcode?
Flawless. Never seen any errors ever. Never seen anyone lagging either or teleporting around.
>>321508306
>How populated is the multiplayer?
There are rooms at all hours. Pretty populated atm. I imagine EU will also be on the same servers as us so it'll get more populated once the game gets released over there.
>>321509116
Any noticeable input lag or anything?
Once it releases on PC it'll be my first EDF game.
>>321509245
None at all that I've noticed
>>321509245
Not really. Tho I'm not a machine so I can't measure in milliseconds either...
>>321509116
EDF's netcode is 'simple' in that basically all the clients trust each other, that's why it runs so well.
You see on your screen your missiles and shit landed on the enemy? "Sure thing!" says everyone else and it gets tallied against the ravager's current hit points.
Only downside is if there's a PC release, cheaters could abuse the shit out of it without some overhauling of the system.
>>321507897
Helicopters are hard as fuck to control.
>>321501342
nope, it will be once it's released on Steam
>>321507897
Can you not revive each other in 4.1, or does it require a support loadout? Only ever played 2017P online which I believe let you give half your current health to another player.
>>321509435
>Only downside is if there's a PC release, cheaters could abuse the shit out of it without some overhauling of the system.
This is why I hate getting online games for PC. Fuckers cheat too much on PC. You know how many cheaters there were in Dark Souls?
>>321509320
>>321509358
Thanks. Sounds pretty good. I'll probably pick it up soon.Wing diver best class
>>321509550
You can revive each other... but it's a big risk to cut your own HP in health when you're swarmed by tons and tons of enemies, often not worth the trouble on hard with that many enemies on you. Most of the time they die right away again anyway after getting up when there's that many enemies.
>>321509575
Dark Souls had shitastic netcode to start. It's to EDF's benefit that it's a co-op focus and it'd be counter-intuitive to engage in friendly fire.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>someone hosting a room on hard
>"1000 armor or kick"
Why
>>321510453
The fuck do you need 1k armor for? 400 is fine for hard.
Only PS4 exclusive I want to see come to Xbone.
>>321510553
I find the later missions to be a bit crazier, 600-800 helps alleviate the risk of shit going tits up but 1k seems more like they don't even want to worry about you and assume you're fine.
>tfw no four player splitscreen
I've always wanted to play EDF, but I never got a chance to.
There's only one on Steam, is it worth getting?
>>321511042
It's alright, but I think it's a bit mediocre compared to the other games. Don't expect anything too special from it.
>>321511042
>Insect Armageddon
Nope.
>>321502884
>It only drops when there's a ton of shit going on.
which is over 90% of the time
>>321511042
It's arguably the worst game in the series.
>tfw too scared to play online
>>321511495
What the fuckkkkkkkk is wrong with you? Nobody gonna judge you for co-op games.
Oh shit the multiplayer missions are separate from the single player ones. Got to start from mission 1.
I guess I'll start playing Air Raider now. Any tips?
>don't have a PS4
>online on PS3 2025 is pretty much dead
>>321511495
there are people playing on normal and easy
>>321512571
long dead
>>321511828
He sucks for solo play
>>321511828
Yeah, I don't know why they did that. My only complaint
>>321513421
If you're good with vehicles then he's actually pretty good solo. Just keep any AI alive as much as possible.
>>321506379 was this a few hours ago on that late game beach mission? That might have been me.
Balaams are fun. It just sucks that you need to rack up credits before you can call for them and they're rather situational.
>didnt get a bloodbornemachine
>edf2017 was a 360 exclusive
>expect edf on x1
Fuck these chinks.
>>321513661
>he bought an x1
>>321513623
it was the beach mission, yeah, but it was like ten hours ago. mission 27, i think. the one where everyone usually grinds for armor in
>>321513623
>If you're good with vehicles then he's actually pretty good solo. Just keep any AI alive as much as possible.
Good luck keeping them alive on anything above normal.
>>321513714
>he bought a bloodborneknackmachine
>>321503025
>It just won't feel right
anyone else really like laser chainsaw for wing diver?
Are armor pickups shared online?
>>321514092
It's obviously a BloodborneEDFDisgaea machine anon
>>321514381
Read the manual. Tips section.Page 32.Yes, they are shared.
Did Insect Armageddon invent the multiple class thing?
How do armor and weapon drops work in multiplayer? Do I have to be a piece of shit and race people to drops?
>>321513990
You can still solo with him with the right set-up. I've done it before. Hell I soloed that stupid dragon mission where call-ins become disabled after the first minute or so with air raideron normal
>>321513990
Nah m8, AI health scales with difficulty. They're still viable allies on Inferno, but you do have to look after them if you want them to be anything more than temporary distractions.
And you can just forget all the fuck about it once the dragons come along, those assholes will fuck your day up.
>>321514396
gravity rush, babyi bought the jp version
I got EDF2 for my vita for christmas.
I've been looking forward to playing this series since forever and I'm finally doing it.
Anyone wanna play online?>
>>321515478
I would, but I have the JP version and I don't think they're cross-compatible.Also I'm in kangaroo land so the lag would be unbearable
Hope you find someone, anon.
>>321515691
That's cool.
I'll make a thread or something when everyone in burgerland is awake.
