I love EDF games. I haven't played the newest one that came out last year though.

The dialogue always makes me smile.

I just started an EDF thread.

>All these new games are shit
>Terrible, slow, no fun, super serious shit
>What's this? Earth Defense Force? Looks like this
>Explosions all over the place
>Giant ants flying all over the place from said explosions
>Terribly cheesy voice acting screaming
>Goofy songs being sung
>Jumping spiders, oh fuck
>Missiles launched
>Spiders are screaming
>OH SHIT GIANT ROBOTS!
>Winged lasers bitches fucking up the battle field now
>Dudes in power armor using robotic fists to pummel the shit out of everything
>Suddenly a guy calls in for support
>It's a giant ass robot that is over 100 stories tall
>OH SHIT! Godzilla is here now.
>Giant robot fighting godzilla now

I am now singing those songs

the first mission with the derors made me want to kill myself.

just spammed the 20 clip rocket launcher and hoped for the best.

>Higher difficulties are unfun amount of hard without grinding armor in advance and everything 1-shots you unless you're in a vehicle with DEF boosts
>Lower difficulties have no-fun-allowed weapon restrictions and shit weapon drops in general
If there's one thing I'd really like for them to change it's multiplying armor drops on higher difficulties.

armors the biggest cheat there is in the game, i honestly condone save editing it.

They apparently didn't bother "localizing" the style of dialogue intentionally (this is Xseed after all), and as a result we got shitload of hilarious Japanese-sounding phrases like "Don't come this way" or "forgive me".


I loved the entire thing

What are some of the procgen dialogue that killed you the most?

For me, it's probably
>Why did you get married?
>For some reason!

There is nothing quite as manly or satisfying as shoving a 20-foot iron spike through some UFO's rectum while on a skyscraper

>he doesn't play Wing Diver only
It's like you hate fun AND cute girls you giant queers

>"RED MEANS IT'S STRONGER!"

> hard is too easy
> hardest requires me to grind armor if I want to do any of the later stages

>So, do you have a girl back home?
>That can't be true!

i kekd at this line

Post your face when you first landed an uppercut on Erginus.

...

E.D.F.! E.D.F.!

damn, technical K.O. im amazed its head stayed attached

This game allows this scene to play out as part of actual gameplay

Should be getting 10\10s just for that

COMPLETE DESTROYABLE MAPS!
fuck you levolution!

you can fight as ground unit to basically a recording of the giant robot fight you did before?

oh my goodness ... i havent progressed that far yet

>tfw just beat the game on Hard mode with some nip
One thing I notice from playing with them is that the usually just go ED!! ED!! ED!! in voice chat instead of EDF

kek

Is Fencer the most fucking useless class? WD is faster, Ranger is more efficient, AR can call balams and nukes.

Fencer can, uh... go fast?

Yes indeed.

I wish Balam had better controls, tho - They probably added them as an afterthought.

I already know Sandlot can do giant robots WELL.

use dual hand cannon and just hold left/right click

...

trying using dual gating gun on that air raid mission

...

i dont like the new wing divers, the ones from edf2 were better. the new ones look like someone glued scrap metal onto their bodies, their design is abysmal , i almost expect intentionally bad.

does that mean in multiplayer this will happen at the same time? someone hops into the robot and the others fight on the ground?

...

the new edf wingdivers look korean mmo bad

I don't want to spoil! wait and see.

oh well, im a dirty pirate, cant play MP

For me, playing Fencer just taps into my Powered Armor fetish.

I love the bulkiness! The pilebunkers! The huge-ass guns! Dash and jumpjets!

Who said anything about MP?

Buy it sometime!

its 50 dorrars here

>Playing single player
>Still sing and shout EDF! anyway

Shouting EDF! as you charge into battle or sing as a wall of enemies approach feels great no matter what mode you play.

Good thing D3Publisher published the PC conversion and not XSeed, otherwise they would've waited until 2025 as seems to be their trend.

yes, i do the same. but with enough soldiers collected they just start to yell and sing on their own

Are the mission packs worth it?

is there a mod to switch the wing diver models?

>They start to sing songs you can't

Having "Waaah" on my quickchat is like leading your very own Ork warband

I've been having a blast with them but holy shit the base game can't even compare to the difficulty of these missions

i would say yes.
its like 80 missions and 800 weapons in the stand alone game already as i heard

Yeah. They're fucking insane. And apparently there's a second mission pack coming, with even harder missions.

>Japanese console port
>console-focused game made after 2005
>non-Bethesda game

What do you think?

Sometime! Ask yourself if the fun was worth it.

That sounds a bit worrying given that I wasn't able to do the last few missions solo

Weapon suggestions for a first time Wing Diver player struggling against the spiders in Silver City (mission 25)?

WHAT'S GOING ON!? GIANT INSECTS CAN'T FLY

If you thought the crimson mission and its red ants were a cluster fuck just wait until you see true hell

bright green ants

there was modding before bethesda.
even on consoles.
there are people with dedication, modding the weirdest shit into the most impossible games.
also, someone wrote already a .cpk extractor to open the games archives.

so.. i guess yes, its doable

>yfw they CAN fly

Keep the hope alive.

The thing that impresses me the most is the games field of view. I thought it would be a narrow, nightmarish hell typical of most console ports, but its surprisingly very comfortable. I'm guessing its an fov of 90°?

Idunn for jumping spiders and everything else in the game really, rapid fire sniper for Retarius if you aren't man enough to lance/rapier them.

Alternatively, thunder bow.

Not on the level peepz are hoping for, tho...

I'm using Thunder Bow since I got it. Wish a higher level one would drop. But I just got an upgraded Idunn, lemme try it.

w-wait, flying giant insects are just a meme, right?

how do i fire the depth crawlers gatling guns? i can only use the cannons, and cant switch to them. mouse / keyboard btw

spacebar/shift

ravager propaganda, surely

er..spacebar.. thats jump
gotta try shift, thanks

>"Giant insects like to be near water. They need water."
>"But on our Earth, there's no water for aliens."

Idunn E has overall better damage output and energy:damage efficiency. Significant loss of range means the Idunn D still has a place though.

I'm really disappointed there's no higher level version of the Laser Chainsaw. Wing Diver's at their best with melee weapons and that was my favourite. Gloriously effective for its level too.

Post your best screenshots lads

There's the Cyclone Laser, which is the Laser Chainsaw except useless and retarded.

>"Giant insects, we'll not let you above ground"!

>tfw wanna play this game but bugs freak me out
RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I still can't believe the first game got a sequel

...

...

I hope I'm not the only one that immediately uses an explosive or ricochet weapon to blast myself into space at the end of every mission.

"This is scout. THE ENEMY! Be careful!"

It's missing the BEES

post yfw dragons

thenk you red ant

...

>have "Get 'em!" on the commo rose
>squadmemebers all respond by WAAAAGHing

Force Axe them, squishy as shite

And if you're feeling cheeky, use the high-tude missile launcher

What weapons should I use as fencer?

...

Depending on the mission, naturally.

There's no constant winning combo.

I always try to grab a Javelin+Melee weapon tho, for that sweet Javelin Cancelling

Double blast twin spears + artillery of choice

The later Galleon cannons are fun as fuck. Dual wield them if you want to go wild, take a tower shield if you need survivability

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK!

yes they're squishy but turning around to see hordes of them blotting out the sky is momentarily terrifying.

i mean holy shit, sometimes it's literally just bodies and fire on screen for a whole minute.

>mfw I use an emote and your AI squad respond or join in

True. And the moment you realize they like carrying civilians into the air and dropping them from miles high, that's when it gets personal.


Or, when they CHOMP you

Playing with friends is best. We kited and killed everything so my buddy could kill the last shield bearer.

...

From vicious giant insects who have once again come back!

We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack!

THE EDF DEPLOYS!

do you have to have friends to play multiplayer?

no but it helps

recently beat the game on hard as Ranger, had to go back and redo some missions when i was right near the end, having had to go to normal for them initially. I wasn't ready for 2 Big fucking Dragons!. rushed all of those missions, felt great conquering my troubling levels and then the last mission

He can survive way better than anybody else.
