Wouldnt that make the PS4 the cuckold because his exclusive is gone playing tricks?

Good cuck, clean my sloppy year old creampie out of that pussy for me
PS4 bros are already busy with Project Diva, something you will never get
>>345332297
it gets praised on /v/ from frequently
>>345332363
>Im fucking your waifu
>Yeah, fuck her real good
Okay then
>>345332535
You mean the used up, old Christmas cake trash we already disposed of. Enjoy never getting Project Diva games.

do you need help

Any rumours on the price?
>>345333108
I'm guessing 40, could see 30 too
>>345332297
You just showed you don't know much about games.
>>345333054
Hello readdit, those grapes sure are sour huh?
>>345332297
How new do you have to fucking be if you've never seen an EDF thread on /v/?
>>345333156
From what I heard its full price, but the launch sale instead of 10% its 30% off
>>345332297
get the fuck off this board
>>345331767
Buying it again so I can play online without PS+
>>345332297
>summer /v/ doesn't know about EDF
I'm not surprised.
Who /fencer/ here?
>>345331767
Yeah, at sub 30 FPS, I played it too and it was shit compared to how it'll be once we finally get a proper EDF game on PC.
On a more serious note, I really do hope this port does well enough for Sandlot to consider making EDF 5 for PC as well, imagine the mayhem we could see in an EDF game developed with PC hardware in mind.
>>345333820
Nice shitpost dickwipe
Timestamp now. It's 60fps on PS4, lying cuck.
>>345334254
>Timestamp now.
What in the actual fuck?
>>345334328
>called out on being the falseflagging pcuck you are

Kill yourself.
>>345334254
>it's 60fps on PS4
In empty levels with no enemies sure, as soon as any kind of particle effects or building destruction takes place the framerates sink like a stone.
>>345334254
>60fps
>with extreme framedrops because it's fucking EDF
Any real EDF fan will be happy to play the game without it running in slow motion 50% of the time on inferior hardware.
>>345334604
Timestamp or fuck off, PCuck
>>345334698
Except it will be an unoptimized shit port because Japs don't care about PCuckolds. Just like Onechanbara that was completely fucking broken. PS4 always wins kid.
>>345334594
You have me confused with someone else, i'm just an amused third party having a good chuckle at your expense.
But please, tell me more.
>>345334698
This, why people get so attached to their console of choice is beyond me. I play exclusives on console because I'm forced to, not because I want to. The EDF games are notorious for their unstable framerates and 4.1, while certainly miles ahead of the PS3 version, still suffers from them. The game will be far superior on PC assuming they don't fuck up the port.
>>345334723
How mad are you right now?
>>345332363
>Good cuck, clean my sloppy year old creampie out of that pussy for me
>>345335062
>Used goods
Keep being mad son
And calling it 'used goods' doesn't even make sense considering the game came out on PS3 years before it came out on PS4, but hey, keep being retarded console fanboy.
Since this is a niche, budget title and the only discussion people can muster is console warring bullshit that means there's nothing to really talk about right? The game is fucking bullshit right?

>>345335325
Nah, there was a pretty civil thread going on a few hours ago, it's just some mad platform warrior going nuts yet again
Neat, but at this point I'm thinking it's a better idea to get it for for my PS4 as my PC's CPU is old as fuck.
>>345335325
Its a late port of a remaster of an early gen 7 game
Its fucking great but there's literally nothing to talk about regarding the steam release besides "woah cool." The games old and most people played it already
>>345331585
wait what
>>345335325
I wouldn't say that, I'm pretty dang hyped for it, even after playing it on both PS3 and PS4. From what I can tell it seems like the PC version will come with most of the dlc from the PS4 version included, which is nice.
The game itself plays somewhat like a silly sci-fi B-movie about aliens invading Earth and does not take itself seriously at all. The gameplay is fantastically fun though, with massively varied weaponry and a huge amount of missions to play though.
>>345335469
Salt
>>345335608
Fucking this, anyone that bitches about the PC port even though the ps4 version was the same shit is a faggot.
>>345335608
Well, I've never played the game. Tell me about it if it's so great, is it worth getting? What is it even about? Some kind of... double ironic game about being in a B-movie fighting giant bugs or something?
>>345336234
>double ironic game about being in a B-movie fighting giant bugs
You just described it exactly, It's a mindless third person shooter in that theme.
>>345331585

just watch the trailer
>>345331767
Real fans will buy it twice, like me.
>>345331585
edf looks like a fun game and i always see people talking/memeing about it
but my real question is, is it actually fun or is it weeb trash that gets a pass because its japanese
I just want to know what the price on my region will be, probably overpriced.
>>345336769
It's a little both, It's fun and a bit weeb.
>>345336884
Totally different games. 4.1 is more of a proper sequel to 2017.
I'm ready.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGHCoVzqtk
This is the only Japanese game that has come out in the past 5 years of this whole thing with Japanese games getting dumped on Steam happening that I want to play. Looks pretty cool. I hope it's a good port and that the devs deliver on the post they made about mod support.
If they've been working on the port since the game showed up on SteamDB then it should be good because it's been quite a while.
>>345336745
this.
>>345336584
I.... don't think I can play this game. That part in the trailer where you're in a dark cave and giant bugs swarm around you? Fucking nightmare town man.
>>345337623
4.1 is easy mode because the caves are all lit now, I swear they use to be darker.
>>345332709
sloppy seconds meme doesn't work with the cuck meme
the guy fucking your wife is certainly getting sloppy seconds
but the cuck is still you
>>345331767
Been a fan since EDF2 on PS2. I just couldn't justify myself with getting a PS4 and PSN+ just to play an expanded version of a title I already played. Releasing on PC means not only can I play it(potentially at an improved framerate) but I can introduce my friends to the franchise.
I wonder if they'll release some modding tools, or at least release all the DLC with it.
I always wanted to see what kind of special hell you could make for people with Termites and metal spiders in an underground cave.
What's that one DLC mission where it's underground and like 8 fucking ant/spider hills pop up on the ceiling? That was a nightmare and I played it just on hard with characters with over 3k armor.
>>345336234
It's Starship Troopers if everyone had over the top guns and if you added some B movie robot aliens.
It's mindless fun, especially co-op, but it's totally mindless. It fills the same void for me as Beat em Ups and Musous, it's very cathartic.
>>345336234
That's pretty much exactly what it is. It's a pretty mindless third person shooter where you fight all manners of giant insects and alien mechs. The game itself shines in the amount of mayhem and destruction it provides with entire cities being leveled in some missions and the ridiculous amount of enemies it throws at you at once.
>>345331978
When your bitch runs off to another dude, it's not the other dude who's the cuck.
You're literally using the word to mean the opposite of what it means.
WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!
Does that means i can finally play 2025 and SonD on PC?
Now the important thing.Will be possible to play in MP if pirated?
>>345337383
>mfw finally able to chant EDF for realsies since the other PC game doesn't count.
So no xbone? Man this sucks.
>it's mindless
What exactly makes EDF more "mindless" than every other TPS on the market, anyway? Or do people really hate arcade-style action that much these days?
>>345340064
Because there's no strategy to it at all. You just choose a good loadout and blast hordes of the same monsters.
That doesn't mean it's bad, I fucking love it. But some people would be turned off by that for being shallow and repetitive.
>>345340064
Tbh I find EDF much harder than most TPS games.
Inferno is fucking tough.
>>345331585
If it is as bad as EDF's released on PC before then fuck it.
Do you need friends for this game to be fun?
>Overall power
Wind Diver>Ranger>Fencer>Air Raider
>Fun
Fencer>Air Raider>Ranger>Wing Diver
Prove me wrong
>>345340740
Strictly speaking no.
But the fun increase quadratically with the amount of friends (4 players=16 times the fun).
>>345340274
Gearing up with a correct loadout IMO is way more strategic than "sit behind cover and take occasional potshots when the enemies act retarded" which appears to be considered the pinnacle of TPS now.
>>345340572
The only EDF released on PC was the shitty Insect Armageddon made by a western studio that had nothing to do with the main series.
>>345341781
I liked it.
What was really bad about IA was the pacing of the missions and the damage sponges UFOs / big enemies.
>>345341781
>dakkadakkadakkadakkadakkadakka
Is this one of those "It's so bad it's good but it's actually good" kind of games?
>>345336745
Hardcore fans buy it 3 times
>>345342614
Yes. What other game has 12 Godzilla's versus 12 Giant robots, all on the screen at once, not in a cutscene?
What other game has literal 80 meter tall giant enemy robots that fire obnoxiously big green balls of plasma at you on a beachfront, surrounded by smaller giant robots and accompanied by dropships?
>>345342614
More like "it's really damn good but people look at the graphics and assume it's shit because it's not a big budget game"
>>345343276
>>345343813
I haven't played this series before but this looks pretty fun.
Also, the soldiers chanting EDF cheers me up.
Always been interested in EDF but never had a chance to play it before, so I'm thrilled for the PC release, just have a couple questions
Quickly looking at a gameplay video of 4.1, I saw it seemed to be mission based, is there more than just that?
Is there a lasting appeal in it's replayability?
Is someone going to make a group because I'd enjoy playing it with othersis there character customization?
silky smooth 10fps
>>345345017
You can replay missions but generally you go from one mission to the next, there are relatively few maps but they are VERY large.
You can replay mission to get better weapons and more health, also kill bugs in new, destructive and humorous ways.
Idk
You can change the armor colors
>that price for an older non-AAA game
I dont know, Ill definitely get it later in a sale but Ive put too much time into teh PS4 version to just drop it, I only hope this doesnt kill the PS4 community, cross platform play wouldve been great, and it seems only xbones arent getting in on it now.
Delete this thread pcucks
>>345345375
How much is it going to be?
>>345345017
It's completely mission-based, but there are 89 missions plus about 40 or so more missions in upcoming DLC packs that have new versions of enemies.
It's very replayable, especially because there are 5 difficulty setttings and the difficulty affects the quality of weapon drops from enemies.
You can customize the colors of each class' armor.
>>345345602
$44, and thats the sale price for the first week believe it or not.
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO
>>345345602
50, but -30% at launch.
>>345343098
Like me
>>345345902
I've been hearing $35.
>>345345371
>>345345714
>You can replay mission to get better weapons and more health, also kill bugs in new, destructive and humorous ways.
>difficulty affects the quality of weapon drops from enemies.
Ah that's nice, I was afraid it was going to be that you finish all the missions and then there isn't anything to do afterwards but play them again.
So just two more questions based on that
How long does it take to play through all the missions?
About how long would it take to get what would be the top tier weapons?
>>345346010
Yes it is actually, I was looking at the wrong game kek.
I'm glad PC gets the game but I hope this doesn't ruin all threads in future.
Hopefully like other ports the threads will improve in a while, after the retarded console war faggots find something else to shitpost about.
>>345341781
>turrets on the helicopter blades
Fucking hell man.
You just sold me on this game with a single webm.
Still looks like a PS2 game wtf
>>345340750
Flying is fun
>>345346095
Depends on the difficulty and whether or not you have friends.
I'd wager about 50+ hours for the main campaign+dlcs at a minimum.
For the weapons it can take a good while though since it's random what weapons you'll get, generally you can find better weapons at higher difficulty levels and in later stages.
>>345346095
Depending on difficulty and mission, any mission can take from 5-20 minutes.
Depending on your luck, the top tier weapons could come quick or take awhile, before DLC there is only like 2 good high level weapon farming places. For Online play missions cap your health and weapon level, so Hardest can actually be harder than Inferno on some missions. I have 140 hours in the PS4 version and I still haven't beaten all the Inferno missions yet (been playing split screen with a friend) and haven't completed the rest of the modes still on all characters. Haven't even started playing with the fencer either.
>>345346331
Do you want 20 HD enemies on screen and non distructable environments or 100 sub par looking ones and everything is destructible. Gameplay>graphics.
>>345346569
That isn't an excuse retard, lots of good looking games render tons of enemies.
PS2 games looked better too.
>>345346331
It's a budget 360
>>345335668
>sonycuck comes into a thread crying all over because he got cucked
>claims other are salty
nice projection sonycuck
now show me some more asshurt
Played Insect Armageddon to try out the gameplay, it's actually really fun. I don't get why /v/ doesn't like this game. My only issue was the 30fps cap but I found a mod to fix it.
>>345346761
Show me these games your talking about and Ill show you how its not the same.
Off the top of my head Warband, but it also looks like shit.
Anyone else doing the EDF True Completion challenge when it's on PC?
All missions
All difficulties
Every character
All weapons unlocked
>>345347281
>warband
You having a giggle? That looks like shit too.
Modern musous.
>>345345903
fucking kek
>>345332297
your right the EEDF must get the fuck out.
>>345347494
ah to be underage
>>345348338
Thanks for admitting you're full of shit. Could have been more mature about it though.
>>345347494
Please dont be serious. Im going to assume youve played Warband and can actually tell the difference between fighting an army that has AI and one that is just paper targets with almost non existant AI.
>mfw EDF is as close as Master Race gets to a Godzilla game.
>>345334254
Maybe every once in a blue moon, if there's anything on screen the game starts to chug. I bought the PS4 version just for the better framerate and I really can't tell the difference between it and the 360 version minus load times and resolution.
>>345332297
>spammed to shit
you're new, aren't you ?
>>345343098
this will be my 4th.

>>345331585

http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Category:PC_Games
>>345334826
That port was good though bro
>>345346170
Games like these need some cross-platform support, I've noticed at least on /v/ the games with that feature tend to have less platform wars faggots.
>>345349013
Not that guy, but Dynasty Warriors doesn't exactly display the most amazing tech. The art style is nice and the individual characters are arguably better than their EDF counterparts, but the levels are equally plain. That and lots of effects are how they cover for the things they had to tone down to make it playable and not compromise on body count. Plus there's the sheer scale of EDF. Enemies are numerous and also fucking huge.
>>345349149
>tfw possibility of VR mods
>seeing the scale of the giant monsters with depth
>>345349862
Oh fuck. I have no fear of insects, spiders etc. but I think that would be legit horrifying. Not just their scale but the janky way they move and have no respect for personal space.
>going into one of the hives
>encounteringthe giant queen ant
>in VR
>>345349641
Modern musous have global illumination and good models.
EDF looks like a PS2 title.
>>345347494
>modern musous
Are you kidding anon? Musous look like garbage minus the main characters, all the filler enemies always look a generation behind, the environments are fucking bland and low quality. EDF looks like trash but it has so much shit happening on screen, not only are there hundreds of decently modeled insects, but buildings are being blown, projectiles are flying everywhere, EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE. Musous may have lots of enemies on screen but they don't even come close to capturing the chaos of EDF
>>345349013
Youre basing your argument on the hero models and not the environments and everything else, they also have alot of fade ins and pop ins in musou games to hide the amount of things on screen(something EDF doesnt do), aswell as extremely flat terrain with no real features. With the budget difference you should be asking why musou games dont look better, not why EDF looks worse.
>>345347136
It's not bad but it has a lot of problem not in mainline EDF
>active reloading
>only specific enemies drop weapons
>weapon drops only allow you the ability to purchase said weapons for ridiculous prices
>HP increases based on gaining experience and leveling up
>only 15 levels
>only 3 difficulties, and each one up just makes the enemies into insane bullet sponges to the point where pesticide weapons are practically required for inferno
With that said, though, I really like the enemy designs, especially for the hectors, daddy longlegs, and mantis robots.
>>345350517
>decently modeled insects
hahahah.
>>345350568
I'm talking about graphics.
Can anyone give me tips for starting off as a Air Raider? I've mostly played ranger so when i switch over I usually get fucked super hard, I just can never get into a groove with Air Raider.
>>345350692
At least I'm not the guy who thinks musou games have good graphics :^)
>>345348771
We can emulate all the good 6th gen ones
>>345347415
heck yes
>>345350692
Fuck off graphics whore
>>345350920
>>345351120
Nice cop out.
EDF!
EDF!
>>345350692
So youre saying the detail of the environment and amount of polygons on screen have no effect on the overall graphics and performance?
>>345351173
Nice shitposting, i'm not even the others anon but you're ruining the thread with your musou shit.
>>345350814
Air raider isn't good solo, but I personally enjoy using the vegalta's more than anything else. If you have missions where you need large damage (against the ships specifically) it's easier to use the Railgun tank if they are around.
If you put your offensive/defensive or the healing stands on top of your vehicle, they can move with you. Also the healing ones stack, so it's saved my ass a few times on Inferno missions.
I think the howitzer and whale cannons suck, the missiles are ok and the bombing squads are awesome same with the satellites.
For those who already played 2025, is it viable to switch and grind several classes through a single playthrough of the campaign on normal, or would you need to stick with 1 to have enough health and weapons to beat the later levels?
How soon after the PC release will we get blogs about 'problematic nationalism', 'bug lives matter' or similar bollocks?
>>345351173
Anon you're the biggest fucking autist, you should really consider suicide.
>>345346761
You don't remember the PS2 at all. Go and actually play the PS2 again.
>inb4 it has all the usual problems japanese PC ports have
>>345351327
>>345351382
>>345351764
good arguments defending this PS2 game.
>>345351682
We won't because those people don't play fun arcade style fun games like this, so stop being obsessed with those retards.
>ctrl+f "cuck"
>over 20 results
I don't even have to read the thread to know they're all mad as fuck
>>345350814
Use mechs as much as possible, preferrably ones that have light weaponry like auto cannons and shotguns instead of heavy artillery. When you're starting to run out of mech ammo retreat and call a new one. Spiders and anything flying will fuck up your day regardless though.
Get a limpet for back up and depending on how much you spend time on mechs, take either healing stations and plant them on mech or artillery. Satellite is good even in close quarters since it's highly maneuverable, Missiles are way too slow to deploy but good from afar and bombing plans are great for a quick throw in between mech resupplies.
>>345351921
>defending
dude, you're the only one here who think we have to defend anything
You like the game or you don't like it. In the end nobody car if you're autistic or just shitposting, or at least they shouldn't.
>>345350516
No it doesn't
Go play the fucking PS2 again, you're living in the clouds right now.
>>345351913
Like what? pretty much every jap release has been solid and what issues some may have are usually patched pretty quickly, which is more than I can say for western devs who give zero fucks.
>>345351874
I'm playing a PS2 game right now.
>>345351959
The irony is they're the cucks. The projection is real.
>>345351682
Probably never, since you'd have to be completely retarded to think that EDF is trying to make some kind of political point.
>>345352120
the best recent japanese PC port i've played was dariusburst
for the rest they usually just take a console game and slap it on PC
you can stop with the underage console war shitposting now lads
>>345351959
It's probably one or two troubled autistics fucks at worst, but yeah i don't know how someone can be THIS buttblasted about mustards getting a game.
>>345331585
What's the most beginner friendly class? both the air raider and the fencer look fun
>>345331585
I played only the horrible ps3 version and loved it.
I can't wait for proper resolution, framerate and visual mods.
I hope it can be played with m+kb so aiming will be something different
>>345351921
Nice deflection. You didnt answer my question.
Also
>musou games

You should be more inquisitive of why big budget games looks so cheap rather than why a cheap games looks cheap.
>>345351959

Why would you do this? I mean it looks interesting outside the FUCKING KOOL-AID poured on last.
>>345352120
He's just shitposting.
>>345352121
Then it'd be OBVIOUS that this looks considerably better than any ps2 game.
>>345352428
EDF games look like shit, I don't care about your droning.
>>345352453
It's not because it looks worse you retard.

You're the nigger praising musous and complaining about graphics in an EDF THREAD.

I didn't praise shit I only answered a question.
Stay salty you drone.
>>345331585
I'm excited. How was the online in the last PC EDF?
I hope it will have a better port than shinovi versus

>>345352578
>It's not because it looks worse you retard.
You're going to sit there and honestly tell me that a game made for this generation with this generation's technology looks worse than any game made on a console that was made 2 generations ago... No you can't honestly tell me that because you honestly don't believe it yourself. You're just trolling.

fucking this. And we don't even talk about the resolution.
Looks like Body Harvest from the N64 and I loved that game.
>>345352995
>>345353107
At 1080p yes it is. EDF looks fucking horrendous, it's worth no money because of that.
>>345353058
EDF wasn't made for modern hardware.
>>345352578
Still didnt answer my question, so you are just a fucking idiot, carry on.
>still responding
all of you kill yourselves
>>345352970
>2 minutes max
I wish. Some of the levels throw multiple waves of turtle gunners at you. They all disperse themselves and continuously block so you have to get the 1 by 1. They're even worse than the bears.
>>345352359
Ranger, most likely. It's the simplest: just run and gun and try not to get gangbanged by GIANT INSECTS.
Air Raider is like a support class; doesn't have much in the way of direct firepower, but can summon vehicles and robots to fight with, as well as calling down air strikes and artillery and space lasers. Also can drop turrets and shields and stuff.
Fencer is a walking tank. Slow (until you learn boost cancelling), heavy armour, big guns and bigger melee weapons which feel a bit like a Hunting game.
Pale Wing/Wing Diver is the flying class; all energy weapons which feed off the same power source as your jetpack.

I know that you're trolling but you're still fucking retarded.

Sup
Love me some dash-pike action.
>STILL responding to obvious fucking bait
Jesus christ, you idiots.
RAVAGERS LEAVE
THIS IS AN EDF THREAD
Fuck me, don't know why you guys keep responding to him. He's obviously just playing the baiting game and doesn't really care, I know a few other fucktards like that too.
Tomorrow should be fun though, I haven't had a decent coop game in awhile. Lately it's all moba this or pvp that. I just want to have fun with friends against the ai damnit.
>>345349146
I don't know why that's supposed to be a low bar. Sam is a really deep challenging fast paced shooter. I'd be suprised to see any modern game be as strategic as it
>>345353574
The sky boxes are just as basic in both games and SA has more attention put into the environment. EDF is laughably awful looking.
>>345340064
>arcade style action
>a level up, grind as fuck mechanic not seen in any arcade game worth any salt
Please anon.
>>345352359
Ranger is the simplest one and is considered the one you should start with. Has two different weapons that are simple and efficient. Though it looks weakest of them, weapons later on start packing ridiculous amounts of punch.
Fencer can carry a lot of weapons but is really slow (if not dash canceling). Cool as fuck, lots of firepower and melee weapons.
Air Raider is probably second hardest one to play. It's weak weaponry to do directly damage and relies mostly on supporting teammates being in front lines or sitting in a vehicle. The real challenge is not to blow up yourself and your mates with artillery strikes.
Wing Diver is hardest imo. You need to manage your energy levels a lot and you have to take energy consumption in weapons to account if you want to stay efficient. It's flying ability is really strong though.
Then again EDF 4.1 is really simple game and learning all classes should be really easy and fast. Every class becomes really powerful if they just have a lot of armor and hi-level weapons.
>>345353780
Just because the enemies drop armor and weapons doesn't magically take away the gameplay being focused directly on shooting up a city full enemies out to kill you.
>>345354026
It does take away from it being arcade style however.
why do the EDF games look like they're from the ps2 era ??
and this game is 49.99, right?
are they fucking trolling?
>>345353457
>>345353831
Gonna give it a try first with the ranger, thanks!
>>345331767
>It's the "Real fan" anon
Remember the phrase "Real fan" every time a game gets ported to PC. You will see this autist in nearly every thread.
I just want an Air Tortoise
>>345353831
>mfw ever I'm playing co op and one of the fencers doesn't know how to dash cancel
God damn these people are literally dead weight.
>>345332297
It was only officially announced on PC about a week ago. Totally out of the blue.
>>345333710
How is fencer anyway?
I can't find anything about him besides low level stuff.
>>345353730
>I'd be suprised to see any modern game be as strategic as it
>ANY
>ANY GAME
>AS STRATEGIC AS SERIOUS SAM
>S+m1
>surprised
All of the strategy game genre is more strategic.
>>345354321
To be honest is not something that is explained in a tutorial.
>>345353704
I'm stoked because a couple of my friends will finally buy this. I don't even have to worry about the online community thankfully with this version.
>>345354321
Fuck me, this is like the first goddamn thing you learn as a Fencer.
But you do bring it on yourself by playing with random faggots.
Random faggots may as well be NPCs if you aren't chatting with them on a mic.
>>345354661
>>345354321
I've only played 2017, how do you dash cancel?
>>345350672
Active reloading would have been nice in mainline EDF though.
>>345354469
GOAT.
His more fucked up weapons need an air raider to mark targets with in order to fully utilise.
>>345354191
>arcades never had experience gain, leveling, acquisition of new weapons, etc
And tell me where in mainline EDF gaining experience and leveling up exists, and once again how item drops magically negate the gameplay's existence.
>>345354740
There are a few weapons that you use immediately after dashing to stop the dash finishing animation (an annoying stop), and can immediately dash again after the weapon animation is over to keep your momentum up.
>>345354935
Neat
>>345354740
Have a shield equipped and a melee weapon, one that allows you to dash. The shield has an alternate attack that lets you parry/bash. When you dash with melee, you bash, that allows you to dash immediately after. Repeat.
>>345354740
Right after you dash, use something like your shield or one of those harpoon guns.
This will cancel out the delay in dashing.
So it'll be like dash, harpoon, dash, harpoon, dash, harpoon, ect ect.
Some of the harpoon weapons you get later on give you a big boost when you attack.
>>345354321
>forgot to take a melee weapon or something to dash cancel with
>>345354837
>arcades never had experience gain, leveling, acquisition of new weapons, etc
They usually didn't. At least not ones that persisted after each play. And the ones that did, were usually forgotten about, unless they were shit like the modern vs. games where you save that shit to your card. But those all suck compared to actual out of arcade games, which they were trying to ape in the first place.
>>345354228
You're telling us that EDF 4.1 looks exactly like pic related?
>>345354534
Lucky bastard. The main friend I used to play shit with is now a gym freak and won't touch gameshe lost 200ibs so good for himand it's too expensive for the rest of my friends until a major sale hits.
Thank god it has local split screen at least, my roommate and I are going to tear shit up.
>>345355129
>using a shield to dash cancel
>>345355315
You still haven't explained how acquiring weapons/armor negates the existence of EDF's gameplay.
>>345354758
I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to implement it well, just look at insect armageddon. I know it was made by filthy americans but I don't think the OG devs would be able to implement it well either.
>>345355456
The harpoon gun is pretty bad
The Powered reflector still comes out fast and can wreck anything that shoots projectiles in a pinch
>>345355494
>negates the existence of EDF's gameplay
Now you're just bringing shit up nobody was talking about. Is it that difficult to keep track of a conversation, or do you always imagine everybody is thinking about the same shit as you do as you post or something?
Also, acquiring weapons/armor upgrades IS PART of EDF's gameplay.
>>345331585
>EDF steam release tomorrow
what a good birthday present
>>345355598
That's the little energy shield, right? That's what I usually use.
That or the giant robofists.
>>345355598
Well the powered reflector has a charge that can deplete permanently, and the harpoon gun does not. Check mate atheist.
>>345355724
And your obvious insistence on dwelling on that to draw the implication that it prevents the combat in the game from being what it is is blatantly obvious.
>>345355798
happy birthday anon
here's a cutelewdgif
>>345355798
Happy birthday, Anon!
>>345355883
>charge that can deplete permanently
U wot m8? You can reload it
>>345355598
It's also possible to dash cancel with few of the heavy cannons. Not only does it give you the dash cancel, but you can fire the cannon a lot faster than you normally should be able to. Its only problem is the really small mag.
>>345355948
>>345355994
tomorrow you negros.
my fagdoll already gave me a present though.
>all that DLC
Gonna pirate the shit out of it
>tfw almost bought this on sale last week
day 1 torrent lads
>>345356097
fuck you nigger, i was saying it now because tomorrow i won't be here for you.here's another
>>345355456
Unlike the javelins the shield has utility outside of making you go fast
>not wanting to kill entire waves by knocking back larger ants sprays, aswell as stopping it from hitting you
>helping the team by deflecting spider cum which can instantly kill enemies regardless of difficulty
>protect yourself fromdragons
>able to go toe to toe with hectors as you can knock the shots back at them instead of spending the whole time dodging when they start shooting
Go fast is useful to get to the fight, but when actually in fight you dont get much time to use it, you want to be hitting things as much as possible not dodging all the time.
>>345355883
It can reload once its depleted, you just cant reload it on demand.
>>345356006
...what?
>>345355381
It's a pretty great feeling. I never thought I'd ever have a group of friends into EDF. Hopefully your friends can get before too long anon.

>The "real fan" argument
Oh my
>>345355317
People don't remember how bad most PS2 games looked, or 6th gen in general. Xbox exclusives are the only games that still hold up today honestly. It's just shitposting at this point I think.
