Just got EDF5, not enjoying Wingdiver as much as I used to in the version mainly because of having to charge all my shots before I can fire, it makes sense for some of the weapons but things like the Electric Shock weapons and the Pulse Weapons doesn't make them that much fun to use anymore. Same with the lasers how they get weaker the longer you fire them.
Other than that I like all the other improvement they made to the other classes especially giving Ranger his own vehicles/sprint to keep up with everyone else.
0ac4db No.14001540
Having that boost jump with the Fencer makes melee weapons much more viable. Especially the hard hitting hammers with little range. Also I noticed enemies are handled a little different as the game goes on. Spiders are spewing more webs and ants are moving faster by the time you get half way through the game unlike the early stages. So maybe higher difficulties influence damage and health of enemies while their speed and firepower is based on stage.

No, but most do. They really wanted her to be her own class instead of a flying ranger. They made her much more diverse with her different energy cells. Some charge weapons faster, some focus on large pools of energy, and some focus on mobility. Some weapons have fencer tier ammo and can shoot for ages while some throw you backwards which is great if you're being chased.
1d8be6 No.14003095

I guess I'll reserve my judgment before playing it, but I don't see any good coming out of thinking she's a "flying ranger". Vary her energy management by all means, but that's a very odd line of thought to have.
4c59a2 No.14003103
>>14003075
For all my complaints though I do still like her, the recoil on some of the weapons do add to her mobility and I find myself using a lot of her lower leveled plasma launchers since I can maximize on mobility and damage, without digging too much into my energy.

So far I've been having luck with the Plasma Cannon M2, its a level 10 weapon but that thing is still better than a lot of the higher level stuff I've found in the same class of weapons. short charge time, and pretty good damage once its been maxed out works pretty well for me.

If you have a core that has a high enough energy regen, wing divers can literally stay in the air forever and slaughter them all by getting altitude and abusing a high recoil, long range weapon (plasma cannons seem pretty good for it) and their new dodge. As green ants have so little HP, this tactic is effective with low level plasma cannons even on inferno. The only time you'll need to touch the ground is to pick up weapon drops.

No response still, and are the voice acting bits of the game more or less the same where they shit themselves and cry over how scary the new enemy of the week is over the radio while you're trying to kill shit (sometimes long after you've already killed the thing they're freaking out about)?
That got kind of annoying really quick after the first playthrough. Then again that's probably because I guess I don't appreciate the B-movie thing as much as others do. I hope the new game acknowledges you preemptively wrecking the shit out of everything a little more. Biggest flaw with 4.1 was probably the immense amount of crate collecting.

It's never fun to do at all which makes me wonder why they have the system. Unlike health, collecting armor and weapons doesn't help during the battle but it's something you never want to miss. All it does is make you go out of your way to collect stuff and makes the game boring instead of it focusing on the nonstop action.
They should really make it so you just get an icon that shows you got X amount of armor and weapons throughout the mission. This would really add to the experience while items like medkit drops can stay the same. It would also make navigating through swarms better when you can use the radar to guide yourself toward health while shooting everything instead backtracking into armor or weapon boxes which you didn't need at the moment.
I don't know why some people think this will cheapen or make the game casual. No one enjoys collecting boxes.
82524c No.14017597
>>14017281
I enjoy collecting boxes sometimes though. Taking a breather between waves helps relieve a bit of tension and stress to prepare for the next wave, especially useful on some of the bigger and longer missions. Boxes also provide an incentive to take risks or plan your tactics better so you can reach them, or in some cases serve as a trap as new enemies spawn around you when you go to collect. It is also extremely satisfying to murder a ton of enemies in a small area and then drive through 30 boxes at once.
I am neither for nor against collecting boxes, but it isn't as simple of an issue as people tend to make it out to be. Both have their appeal, but are simply just for different types of people. The only solution would be to add a classic or auto collection option.
On a related note, they really need to add in an option for weapon and armor limits for singleplayer so I don't have to play online with 4x enemy health or try to guess what is appropriate for the mission's level.

Yeah, ranger's new gear slot that gives him shit like +600% to item gathering radius takes the tediousness out of item collection. He literally gets the gathering radius of a tank or chopper.

They could have done it where you get a certain roll of standards loot box weapons on how good you did while the boxes that drop are the ones that are slightly better chance on a roll for better weapons etc. So you dont have too get the boxes and get normal loot rates at the end of the mission while fair, but if you wanted to get the more exotic or better weapons and armor you go for the boxes.

Play on at least hardest. The early guns are usually slow/weak and generally don't feel very satisfying. Pick a class that suits your play style.
Ranger: pretty weak due to lack of mobility. Best strength is insta heals, anti air sniping, and hit stun ARs on hectors
Wing diver: OP on everything until inferno. Vertical mobility is very strong until dragons. Melts anything within 50m.
Air raider: Purely support. Can call in nukes or strafing runs for insane amounts of damage
Fencer: Learn to dash cancel and be sanic.
Play online, and kick anyone that seems to cheat (10k+ armor with low % completion/playtime, instakilling enemies, infinite energy, etc.).

So am I the only one that feels like Air Raider is actually a bit weaker now, despite the improvements made to many of his support weapons, simply because his initial point pool is so low and vehicles cost so much more? Just calling in an upgraded missile/revolver frame feels like building up to a titan despite it being just another normal-ass robot. This actually caused me to stop picking tanks completely simply because they lack the ammo and power to make up for their cost compared to simply dropping free whales, artillery, and lasers on things. I get that they wanted the Air Raider to do more air raiding, but they add in so much shit thats immune to air attacks that it becomes a huge hole in his ability. He shouldn't have to spend an hour farming a dropship just so he can call in his only one vehicle capable of aiming up and shooting far enough to destroy that dropship.

I know you can reduce the cost, but you still only start with half its points, and it feels like it takes longer to get vehicles than it did before. Honestly, I was just venting frustration cause I was stuck on a mission for a long time, the one where you get rushed by frogs, drones, and ants from the front, spiders from the side, queens from the rear, and ~4 dropships. I eventually beat it and am now up to mission ~60 somehow. A mountain of frustration is just part of relearning how to be best class.

The localization took almost a year and another 1 year to get 4.1 PC port and it was handled by a different publisher. D3 doesn't give a fuck about western market, just like Sega. They're willing to give publishing rights to any publisher that want to localize it but if nobody wants to, then they're not gonna bother with it. If EDF were intended for western market from the get go, it should at least appear on E3, or PSX since its technically a PS4 exclusive game.

Suddenly Depth Crawler is top-tier. Of all the changes in 5, that is probably one of the last things I was expecting. That little shit gives zero fucks and will pulverize anything and everything that dares challenge it until the consistency of skittles has been reached. Not even giant turtles can stand against it. They were always great, save for their non-existent armor, but now they have so much, pushed even further with posts, that the only thing that can stop them is fucking up so phenomenally hard that nothing you could have done would save you. Its a shame too as I really enjoy playing with the new Combat Frames, but they just can't compare to the Depth Crawlers agility and reliability. I am only 80 missions in on hard so there's a lot of room for opinion changes, but until then it will continue being my precious Aibo.

They just suck, though some later ones get rocket launchers and flamethrowers so that's nice. In my experience for caves in general is you just find out where enemies are gonna spawn, and hold a choke point with any kind of explosives, sentries, flame weapons or large blast weapons.
769640 No.14097998
>>14097764
Assuming you're talking about 4.1
Most of the time in tunnel mission you can just use them for holding chokepoints which they're really good at because of the uninterrupted firepower they can bring out
You can however climb the wall really fast to murder the 21st mission, it's pretty much required on inferno solo.
>also what's good to bring in as solo Air Raider for depths?
It really depends on what weapon level and mission you're talking but I really like having at-least one Splendor type weapon, deployable turrets can help create chokepoints out of slightly larger caverns especially on the last wave of the three parter underground mission and especially that part on Inferno.
Never really tried other things so maybe I'm missing some godlike strategy.

It's a mix of "git gud" and "you are already dead". Take things slow and put in a lot of effort to adapt to how the controls work at different positions. Being upside down is probably the easiest to get used to and allows you to shoot things without hitting your very important allies. You have effectively no armor so you need to stay back a bit and let allies take hits for you while you never ever stop shooting things. Always put a guard post m2 or m3 onto your crawler, it will survive a little bit longer, but your allies in range will survive forever.
As for what to bring - Depth Crawler, Splendor, Turrets,Guard Posts, Power Posts, Life Vendors, Pure Decoys. The bike really isn't a bad choice if you are playing a long mission you can confidently complete without vehicle damage, lets you just blaze through the long boring tunnels, assuming you bothered to git gud with them as well. You can use pure decoys (longer duration) to control enemy movement by placing them in close-but-unreachable locations, such as on the other side of a barrier or in a tunnel that runs near a much later room. An example is the first underground mission. you can put one on the tracks that run adjacent to spider spawn to the left to keep them completely distracted. Another thing you can do is throw turrets through barriers while running into them so you can safely clear some spawns, such as in golden darkness right behind you at the start, also a good spot for a decoy if you aren't running it split screen or something.

That's not entirely true. Weapons have randomized stat levels and it adds the best to your weapons, so you can still get useless duplicates.

Shit gets crazy the more and more you go on. In fact, it easily goes on par with the craziness of the EDF 4.1 DLCs.

I'm alright with this, was starting to worry that it would fug up solo difficulty reading other posts.

Hopefully it means were getting RAD physics/controls for the robots in EDF 6.

Is this game challanging?
Is the pc version of 4.1 alive and well in multiplayer?
Are the psp versions worth a damn?
c15020 No.14186717
>>14186704
Yes it can be very difficult at times.
Yes the PC version of 4.1 is still active
Yes remake of EDF 2 on the vita is very fun and they even added Air Raider to it. Never played the remake of 2017 on it though mainly because its only digital and never seen it on sale.

>Is this game challenging?
EDF5 is more difficult than EDF 4.1 bases missions imo, especially once you go back the missions (that your originally played on Hard since completing in hard difficulty counts as completed in Easy/Normal) in Hardest/Inferno this time.
In Hardest & Inferno, you either get the teleportation anchors changing locations and in numbers, the elite versions of giant insects get spawned and quite often (the golden ants are already present in mission 14). Some missions in those difficulties can also be longer because the game send you another wave of enemies at the part where the mission would have already ended in lower difficulties. It's no longer just enemies being more a bulletsponge unlike in previous games.
>Is the pc version of 4.1 alive and well in multiplayer?
Yes
>Are the psp versions worth a damn?
PSP version of EDF2 run like a slideshow, starting on the very first mission. Whereas the Vita version runs a lot more smoother.
Worth to mention the japanese and western Vita versions of EDF2 (and EDF3) have separated online servers, since the western localization was never patched to 1.01. Online on both games are alive in Japan (generally 2-5 rooms present at once a day)

I havent seen 5 on the steams page, does this mean im only able to play 4.1 or is it published outside of steam?
Im still kinda lost, i like horde shooters. Will i like this game if i have been playing left 4 dead 2 russian hardcore servers since release?

Theres not 20 mission DLCs. theres only 2 and those 2 add an additional 40 missions to the game which already has 90+. The weapon DLC is not needed.

Yeah, the weapon DLC is pretty well worthless once you grind out a few drops at higher difficulty levels.

5 is only out on PS4 at the moment, and we have yet to hear of an english release date. They have put out a lot of english trailers, though.

except for the pure decoys that are extremely useful on all difficulties due to their longer duration and added functionality to the ranger.

Their comedy value is incredible, too. I've seen Japanese players put 12 of them on a truck and drive around with them or stick a few on Pepsiman (the last boss) to make him start spinning around in circles and blasting like mad in an attempt to get them off him.
