I thought that the anon that was running the pirate-friendly server back on the bunker made a thread here, but I searched and can't seem to find it, so let's have an EDF thread. Partly because I just beat EDF 5 for the first time on Hard with fencer but also as a test to see if this shitpile of a website actually works as an imageboard to discuss video games.

Having just beaten the last mission of EDF 5 I gotta say I'm satisfied. Did it with Fencer this time, which was my least favorite class in 4.1 but was loadsafun in 5. Let's have an EDF thread, shout it at the top of our lungs and be ready to give up our lives.

I don't think we'll ever get mods for EDF PC ports, sadly. Nips seem to have a hard enough time justifying putting their games on PC, let alone adding modding support to them. Especially the devs of the EDF series, who are already on an understandably tight budget

Okay how do you grind armor in 5, i finally finished the hard campaign as all classes and i want to move up to Inferno. However i soon realized that my armor ain't enough (1500 as Ranger, 1200 as AR, 800 on WD, and 2000 on Fencer) and the best grinding spot (Mission 30: Brutal Battlefield) only gives 200 armor per hour. Anyone know any other armor grinding place sans DLC?

It's weird that they somehow made EDF4.1's port absolutely smooth that could it run well on toasters. Haven't tried 5 on PC since i bought PS4 first but i heard it works okay.

Play the game again with a different class and this time play on hard mode ONLY, there will be a big difference between weapons later on down the line.

i called it 'easy' because you can literally AFK farming it. Since this mission is unique in that the dropship spawnrates are absolutely ridiculous compared to usual missions. Not only that, but you have 2 squads of fencers backing you up that can take ant swarms head on without breaking a sweat. Thus, you can stay right below the dropship, while your fencer buddies take care of the farming for you. Provided that you manage to survive the opening horde (which understandably hard, in fact i cheese'd through it by sheer luck) the later parts are a cakewalk, and armor gain isn't scaled by difficulty.
>>16822499
Because the trope of 'Earth Japanese Defender fighting evil aliens' is almost as old as old Jap TV shows. So no wonder that they've managed to perfect it.
>>16822443
For a relatively small developer (compared to AAA studios) the game only chugs when there are an absolutely ludicrous amount of large enemies / entities. Not only that but they've also managed to make the render transition seamless, that Sniper weapons can zoom in without spazzing the game out.

Good but somewhat basic nowadays
The Vita version adds more content including the Palewing, with the fact that it's portable, it's worth a buy along with the port of EDF2/GDF that also adds more content over the base game plus the Air Raider.

If you're playing on a laptop with both intel integrated graphics and an NVidia graphics card, you have to manually set for the game to use the graphics card instead of the integrated graphics in NVidia control panel.

>The guys there were having a tough time with the file format though.
That file format is some incomprehensible clusterfuck I tell you. I tried to mod myself an NCSS Cannon Shot that's viable for inferno, should be easy, right? Just grab the NCSS and increase the damage a bit, right?
Well, I searched the description for the cannon shot and it turns out there is a file that has only descriptions, then there is a separate file that has no searchable weapon names that has the stat numbers that are shown in blue in the weapon selection screen, but those are not the real stats that affect gameplay, the real stats are in separate files for each weapon and this second file only has the path to the weapon file, and those are all called "weapon1", "weapon2", etc. and those are the ones with the actual ingame stats. How does the game match the first descriptions file with the other file pointing to the individual weapon files? Fuck if I know, my best guess is that it's all loaded into an array, so the third weapon from the descriptions file is going to be the third weapon from the second file and so on.
The problem is that there are hundreds upon hundreds of weapons, and each weapon takes up a lot of lines, and you have to pay attention to the bracket nesting to know where each weapon begins and ends, so you can't just grab that second file and count until you reach the same position as the descriptions file.
How the fuck do I find the cannon shot then? Well, I tried to search for specific stat values that the cannon shot has, but then it turns out the stats aren't just what the description in the game says, some are multiplied or divided by a factor for no reason, the level in the file is not even close to the weapon level shown ingame for example.
It would take an absolutely autistic amount of trial and error to figure out just one weapon, let alone all of them, so I just gave up.

The discord figured out how things map out (IIRC weapon ranks such as accuracy are calculated on the fly by comparing weapon value after star modifiers against a static array), and even did some small weapon modifications: the problem they're having is, some of the stuff that works in vanilla (like defining a scope on a weapon) suddenly doesn't work when they try to use it to modify a weapon, and they're not sure if it's a bug in their tools or if they've misunderstood how things are supposed to work.

""EDF May I have your attention""
I have recently discovered one of the most interesting game Sandlot ever made it's Zangeki no Reginleiv, this is game is what Sandlot can do with a big budget, I saw some anons talking how cool it will be if EDF was set in the medieval fantasy well they already done it with this game, Zangeki no Reginleiv plays like every EDF game fight against a great number of enemies to finish the mission this time your not fighting aliens your fighting Giants and because this a fantasy setting there's no guns ,rocket launcher or plasma weapons you only have your trusty melee weapon and your bow but the downside of using a bow that it takes a long time to charge so you have to get close to your enemies, and how about the story well you know the themes of Despair in EDF amped up to eleven, Zangeki no Reginleiv features ""ACTUAL CUTSCENES"" with fully animated characters the settings kinda resembles like berserk , The presentation of this game is better then any of the EDF series yes even if it's a Wii game the game looks great, but sadly this a Japanese game only and it's on the Wii you can play it on the Classic Controller and there's an english patch but it's only for the menus, but how did they get this budget well Nintendo published this game and there's even Trophies of the main playable characters in Smash bros.
I'm going to try out this game on my PC and see if the emulation is good or not.

Piratefags just need Steam and paste these (except SSE7.7z) on an ORIGINAL game folder (buyfags just need to duplicate the folder and paste the files there), then you add the piratefag version to Steam as a non-steam game.
The edf5.exe is not needed either, but it removes censor and allows you to write longer messages if you'd like, even on buyfag versions.

4.1 Fencer and 5 Fencer are pretty different. He didn’t get a lot of new tools in 5 but a lot of existing weapons got tweaked, and the way dashes/jumps are handled now changes what’s strong in practice. Shield reflection used to delete spiders as well, especially Kings. 4.1 has a better design and VA too
Ranger snipers are much stronger in 4.1 than in 5.
WD flight is more like bunny hopping than gliding.
The DLC has some interesting missions and some borderline unfair ones, to the point where lower difficulties are actually more challenging than Inferno.
4.1’s approach to humor is less dry and it still gets serious when it needs to be. The radio characters are more memorable, whereas Strategic Command carries 5 for the most part.

i think 4.1 had way better missions. Every single missions felt unique and had its own challenges.
5s missions kind of blend together, also the maps feel really flat and boring.

Fencer is incredibly fun but you have to learn how to fly. I don't even know the word for it but someone nice in a random public showed me how to chain boosts and melee dash together. Certain heavy weapons kill your agility and you need a melee equipped as your main to go sanicfast. You can switch to your dual heavy artillery/deathguns when you get a nice firing position.

Are the KBM controls as fucked as 4's, or is it actually possible to drive vehicles now?

The bunkers and the electormagnetic prison are really good for spiders and the big shooty boys. You can beat most of the mission with shooting enemies by taking one and the other, parking them all so they overlap and standing in the middle. When one starts running out, reload it, and it will come back by the time the other is done. This still leaves a place for a weapon get the airship minigun/gatling gun or a spritefall and a vehicle.

Frogs require special tactics as a fencer, shotgun blast or melee their legs at close range to knock them down and reduce their ability to fight back then target the head to finish them off. As a fencer it's basically like attack on titan except the titans have guns and are disgusting green freaks of nature.

I disagree. It’s far easier to stunlock them by hitting their torso and the threshold at which their head breaks is not small enough to warrant focusing. If you have to, as with shotgun frogs that are targeting you already, you shoot their gun arm or a leg off from a distance and then aim for center mass so they can’t do anything.The only class that strongly benefits from going for the head is WD when using dragoon lances.
The DLC armored frogs have extremely high health everywhere except for their heads, so it becomes important there.

Yeah, specially bikes as they are more manageable now (just don't take the hell bikes, they handle as if you were driving on ice with oil spilled all over). Helicopters are still a bitch though.

The people actually know what the fuck their talking about in EDF5 compared to 4.1.
Giant bugs arent relatives to dinosaurs, giant frogs dont look like people, giant hornets dont look like birds they called the giant version of those queen bee so bees exist in their universe but they still think they look like birds instead?, and the ayy lmaos are humanoid looking and not entirely disgusting looking.
I have no clue what the fuck happened during the writing of that game but to me that was the only glaring issue out of EDF5.

I think what they had in mind is to amp up the ridiculous nature of EDF writing, and to be fair the way they compared giant frogs to people then they don't have any special comments about the ayy's is hilarious

Nah man I beat the game 2 times I beleive. They called the ayys hideous and disgusting, something more so that should be for the froggos.

The translation was done inhouse and pretty hastily so I'm not too sure it's very accurate.

There's actual spelling mistakes in the game with the electormagnetic prison. I wouldn't be surprised if the descriptions also had issues like this but I've not unlocked all the guns yet.

I liked the gameplay more in 5 but I thought a lot of the maps were weaker. The frogs and ayys were really fun though.

I honestly don't understand Fencer. I learned the dashing and good ways to get into certain firing positions, but the weapons feel weak.
Spears are strong, but I'd rather only use them when something gets close. All the weapons I have so far feel so useless, especially if I switch to Ranger or WD for comparison where the damage and accuracy is much greater.
What am I fucking up? Am I not supposed to get decent weapons until the endgame? Any advice for loadouts? My Fencer shit is only in the 20s. What's good against drones?

Early fencer is a pita, but as you get better equipment, you'll quickly realize how strong he can really be.
>What's good against drones?
Spine driver should be able to 1shoot them solo, alternatively HAIL missiles or NC cannons. I assume they have acceptable stats to begin with.

If you want to be super duper mega ultra kite solo pro fencer, you need:
-6xDash mod or lower
-6xJump mod or lower
-Left hand power fister or spikey anal probe
-Right hand cluster nade launcher.
Other weapon slots is up to you

I never use the hammer.
I always use the strongest Blasthole Spear I got for melee attacks.
Penetrating any ayys defence in one shot and then their rectums in the second is an absolutely blissful experience.
Pic related is the loadout I would use with one of the gatling guns being replaced with a light cannon. The bIast spear and shotgun helped me dash around everywhere super quick for positioning and counter attacks. I had to use the dual gatling guns on exceptionally large crowds of monsters to wipe them the fuck away with a crazy amount of ease.
