Is it getting a physical PC release?

...

HOLY SHIT YES
DO YOU LIKE DEATH? THEN DIE

How the fuck do you think they make a profit by making these ports?

Come on you fucking niggers, time to discuss the game.

GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

does this game have any lewds?
come on i know you got them

PC never ever

HOW DO I TRAVEL IN TIME? I WANT IT ALREADY!

The reason that people ask for porn on imageboards is because having anons with (presumably) some standards post specific images is better than sifting through a booru full of Deviantart-tier garbage and bizarre fetish art that certain artists and files aren't posted on (whether due to obligation or ignorance on behalf of the site's community).

...

I cant wait for some coop with anons, everyone taking on one role and fighting like a team.

Theres like 10 fucking images you niggers

While I like that the release is so close. It would have been nice to see some pre-release PC footage or somthing on youtube. Seems like that isn't going to happen unless they have already sent out review copies.

50 dollars, at launch it'll have a discount knocking it down to 35(?) dollars

arent those sites full of bitcoin mining shit?

dont tell me, the pic you posted was the only good one?

Restrain the hype, lads

50 with a one week discount


What?
The only good fap material, yes.
Some nice fanart with jokes thrown in though

Son, have you seen PS4 footage of it?
Onechanbara Z2 could get a better performance than its console counterpart.
Thats enough for me really

Footage of what? 4.1? The one game in the series that actually has decent performance?

...

I never got a chance to play any of the EDF games. Should my hype be higher then it is?

STARSHIP TROOPERS MOD WHEN?

Yes. EDF is like pure, crystallized joy. You won't fully understand until you play it.

So what's exactly the charm in this game? Looks like a mediocre gook shooter. Gooks never got shooters did they.

Muh 60s b-movie space monsters, high enemy counts, loads of weapons, destructible environments, "slow motion" aka 5fps moments

No, always go in with low expectations so you can be pleasantly surprised. It's probably worth your time and money once it releases though.

to expand on this

EDF flat out should not be as good as it is. it looks just okay, it plays just okay, it sounds just okay. but it's one of those games that is more than the sum of its parts and like this user said, you can't really understand just how much fun it is until you're fighting off enormous spiders by blowing up the skyscrapers they're scuttling all over, your nearby allies are cheering your victories by chanting "E-D-F! E-D-F!", and you're seeing loot drops and leveling up perks and other quasi-RPG stuff

it's just fun, like, it's one of those really rare games nowadays that does not take itself seriously and just kinda throws the game at you and says "go have a good time". giant bugs, hilariously destructive weaponry, great levels, it's just fun

Its a mix of Kaiju movies, 50s Sci Fi American films and Starship Troopers.
Over the top enemies and vehicles, cheese everywhere, fucked up physics which is made fun of in the trailers and fuckhuge Giant monsters and enemies.

It actually has extremely unique mechanics and plays like a game where casuals never flooded the market, it has depth and is grindy as fuck.

Its really fucking good and like said, its pure joy and extremely charming.

...

Hol up hol up! Iz you sayin dis have co-op and sheit? Is it local or online? If it's local I'm buying this shit the second I can.

Is the single player any good? This game looks cool but I hate playing with other people.

Its both nigger

Yep, game is sandboxy as fuck since the maps are fuckhuge and the buildings are all destructable, plus theres plenty of A.I from all the classes.

And fucking sold.

I got no fucking idea whatt Kaiju movies are.
Maybe it might be dumb fun, but I got
JUST
Cause 2 and mods for that. Being superman with nuclear c4 is breddy fun.

Kaiju is nipponese for monster. Giant monster movies.

Yeah, it might be for you since it also has a lot of sandboxy elements and pure dumb destruction.

Nice, it's been a while since I played a good third person shooter.

2016 is truly the best year

...

Christ, how fucking new are you?
Theres even movies that spoonfeed you and dumb it down so you can understand.

I got about 100 hours in it, fantastic game. Especially if you toss in some mods. Being Rico Nukem tossing nuclear c4 flying like super man and then dual wielding flak cannons and afterwards pushing tanks off of bridges with a bubble blaster.
Yeah it's breddy good, and all of those are real mods on JUSTcause2mods.com


Never heard of the term, but I very rarely watch movies also. What the FUCK does now knowing cinema have anything to do with newfaggotry?

Shitton of wrong as well, but it was better than most, closest we've gotten to a good year since 2007

Yeah, its can be pretty fun and its physics and grappling hook/Parachute mechanics really help.
Check out the first game just to see how barebones and how much of a GTA clone it was , I still think it pulls a better atmosphere and has more variety, especially on the weapons.

Nigger, you've never heard of Japanese Giant Monsters smashing shit?
You dont know about Godzilla?
Fuck is wrong with you?
Its like not knowing about 40K

I never heard of the TERM.
I never heard of the word "Kaiju" before this.

You better be baiting nigger
If not, go watch Gamera 2

Bump

EDF! EDF! EDF!

If you like IA, you'll probably like 4.1 way more. IA is generally considered the worst one in the series. Unfortunately not too many are on PC or can be emulated but you can emulate the first one using a PS2 emulator iirc

Heh, tomorrow is my pay day and I was going to go and buy the PS Vita one. Should I just get this one instead? my gpu died so I'm basically running my games on a potato now

To be honest fam, IA its a good game but its not really EDF, the dialog is cheesy as fuck and the aliens look more realistic yet they lack that "fun" from the standard games, thats because it was made by a different company.

All in all, the game is fine, tho its not good at delivering that EDF feel of watching a horde of fucking ants charging into your positions and that feeling of "wew, im gonna need a bigger gun" every time you see the horde riding towards your position, instead aliens just pop out or apear out of nowere when you reach a checkpoint (something only exists in this game) with your 2 other NPC

In any other EDF game you have a lot of NPC's and even fucking more aliens all coming at once or at atleast at a regular pace, instead of having wave 2 after killing all of wave 1, also the lack of singing and cheering really killed most of the mood for me, and the jet guy in that game really feels lacking, its not really able to fly high enough compared to previous games.

Tho the destruction and grafix are really well done compared to previous games, i bet you get that rush when you see a bunch of ants climbing on a buildign and just say "Fuck it" and destroy the entire block with your rocket launcher so the fuckers cant hide anymore.

I dunno m8s, having tons of fun so far
If this is the shittiest one I can't wait to play the others
There seems to be upgrades to go higher for longer as you go, but holy fuck, it's more jet-packy in other games?
I have a PS Vita, is there any EDF game on that?

Its not a bad game, just missing some of the charm of the regular EDF's, though not for lack of trying.
I thought it was pretty solid but a bit to short.

It's the worst one but it's still fun, don't get me wrong. The other EDF games don't use the unlock/upgrade system that game does, you find weapons only from drops instead of drops/purchasing (also they only added the drop system because fans complained so much) and you don't level up, you only get more armor from picking up armor upgrades enemies drop.

There are two, EDF 2017 and EDF2. Both are really good, I'd recommend EDF 2017 first because EDF2 adds a class system and if you get attached to one of the classes it can be harder to go back. Both really good though, but I'm biased as hell because I love the EDF games.

Anyone know if we're gonna get splitscreen on PC? Also whats known of the multiplayer?

How would that even work?

probably with a controller or something if they actually kept it in.

Like normal splitscreen?

Well I don't know about that but there is online co-op confirmed for PC.

Get this one, while 2 and 2017 are pretty good 4.1 is just packed with content to the brim.


You bet your sweet little ass we are
store.steampowered.com/app/410320/

Its a fun enough game with its own charm, unique mechanics and enemies, but its not the EDF we all love and cheerish.

Its decent enough and gets the job done for a quick fix though and it was a nice enough treat for the 6 year long wait.

Despair was what I felt when I though it would be the future though

Which vita game, 2 or 2017? They're both enhanced ports of console games but I recall the enhanced version of 2 having more classes to play with.

Bump

Have you actually played 4.1? on a PS4 that is?

It's the one game in the series I hadn't experienced slow downs with

What did you play?
The first two missions?

Nope, played the whole thing.

Did you have slow downs? What the fuck I thought one of the big selling points of 4.1 is that it runs kind of smoothly now compared to 2025

Not when shit gets heavy
What kind of franchise do you think this is?

NEW ALIENS ARRIVED FOR US TO SHOOT, OH WHAT A THRILL!

BRING THE REINFORCEMENTS, THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL!

FIRE EVERYTHING YOU GO UNTIL ALL IS DEAD AND STILL

THE EDF DEPLOOOOOYS

yeah I don't know about that. But on the other hand pirating it will hurt our chances to get more on PC later.
Tough call.

Remove that German furfag from the mod team you goddamn niggers

Bump

Never played a decent EDF before, what class lets me use the biggest guns?

Fucking kill yourself.

...

Well Fencer are the big guys of the EDF, but air raids can call in airstrikes and use tanks and mecha and helis n sheit so pick what you want.

Or if you want plasma weaponry and sweet asses go for wing divers.

Everyone gets big guns, but Fencer is basically a tank, while air raider gets to drive tanks.

Ranger gets fuck-off big handheld artillery. The Fencer gets fuck-off big shoulder mounted artillery. Air Raider gets actual artillery. And the Wing Diver gets explosive mind bullet plasma death rays.

Will this have lan support?

How much will a 4 pack cost?

D3 says they don't have time for a 4 pack steamcommunity.com/app/410320/discussions/0/366298942100793011/ the launch price would be $140

Steam doesn't allow new releases to offer packs of games anymore. It's related to the new refund policy, iirc

Why does that make think of an Air Raider calling out for one of his Fencer buddys who get's next to him and the Raider jumps on the Fencers shoulders and uses that dude as a low budget tank and why does that sound so friggin awesome?

What if air raiders could summon mecha suits for fencers and wing divers?

Didn't this series have like a couple of PC entries already?

nope none by the OG Japanese developer

It had one and its outsourced

Well for the Fencer that would end up looking like a centurion from warhammer 40k a power armored dude inside a mech suit or something like that and it would really look stupid.
But for the Wing Diver wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of them being fast and lightly armored?
Even though you can stuff them inside a Balam to Pilot it or make them part of a Proteus Crew so yeah it is already possible to call a Mecha down for them.

Why must you remind me?

What? Centurion are great. It's the grey knight baby carrier that's stupid.

I dunno it's not a retarted derp knight that is for sure but I don't see the appeal in that design I mean they look like people who bought a suit that is a few sizes too big and the heads are even tinyer.
If people like it okay but it's just not my cup of tea.
And the Fencer design would not work well I think if we put him in another suit of robotic armor but if we give him an upgrade to use 2 additional mechanical arms so that he can carry 2 more heavy weapons or shorten the time he needs to reload now that would be cool if the Air Raider could call something like that down.

What does this mean

Wishful thinking on my part, but i'm guessing it's one of the Devs making sure the game actually works properly before release.

...

Other way around.

Baby carriers look more funcational and fit for their role (fighting Greater Demons)

Remember that extra armor won't mean much against a giant demonic sword, so the "pilot" being more exposed is meaningless. The extra reach and strength and the ability to carry bigger weapons - it fits all those requirements.

Meanwhile, Centurions look like shit. Assault drills? Tiny legs?

Bump

It feels like a fucking eternity
Dual audio and splitscreen make me want this game so fucking bad.

SOON

Oh fuck I just realized its monday it comes out. not sunday.

FUCK

Wasn't it supposed to release today?
The thread Mark stickied said so. Goddammit.

Can't wait to play this one. PSuckers better list themselves on suicide watches because only more of their games will be coming to PC

Jesus god that was so bad.

What country do you live in where the timezone is two days later than PST?

bugs did 9/11

At least hes going to buy the game

I can hear it now…

Ill probably change my profile name to Rico Kaido

It's going to fail right out the games for expecting 50$ for an old port of a low budget game.

20 to 30 dollars is the best they could have expected to get.

Discount downs it to 35 dollarydoos at launch, I do agree that these business tactics arent too savy.

It's a horrible Idea because no one will gamble that much money on a series they haven't played before.
Take Valkria chronicles as an example of what to do.
That game was 20$ and sold far far better than Sega expected. Sure they are making less money per unit sold but they sold a shit ton of units.

...

The game is barely an year old, fuckface. It still costs that much for PS4. Don't compare it to a game from 2008.

I agree with you on that, low budget or not this game deserves its pricetag, but being a late PC port and keeping the DLC on a paywall including the Mission Packs is pretty shitty.
Ill buy it anyway, but this will turn off many people, Im pretty sureit will succeed though, the fanbase is downright autistic and even with little fanfare and marketing EDF has been D3s staple series and is pretty known around the internet nowadays.

You fucked up

It's not about what it deserves, it's about what most steamcucks are willing to pay for it.

I'll buy it at launch price to support the devs but none of my friends are going to touch it until it's $10 or less. Also keep in mind it's launching with DLC up the ass.

What did I mean by this?

EDF is the dark souls of musou-like third person arcade shooters

EDF is a JustCauselike

Why is that?

It's pretty soulslike imo

No, but it means it will get less sells at that price. They should release it at 30$ max for max profits.

...

Are you saying they aren't trying to make the most amount of money they can?

Sorry, I'm not here to have a serious discussion. I just wanna shitpost smug anime grills cause I have nothing better to do until this releases. Why does Monday have to be so far away?

You can't even begin to imagine just how much of my nigger you are.

Welp back to strangling folks with my custom waifu in Metal Gear Online.

Play Rule the Waves then at

...

...

Don't reply to bait user.

Im sorry user

Its pretty unique even if very flawed and with some spotty animation and writing.
Its pretty enjoyable and with a nice vibe to it.
Especially like how dark it gets and the character development.

...

How likely is it that the mouse and keyboard controls will be absolutely terrible?
Its usually the case for japs first PC port, and I don't want to get my hopes up.

Buy DS4 and install DS4Windows.

Its that simple to play any kind of game, pleb.

85%

I'd rather play the game with a dance pad.

...

This is not something you want to play with KB+M anyways, a twitchy fast paced TPS with lots of dodging and rolling? Get a controller.

A twitchy fast paced game is exactly the kind of game I want to play with KB&M or not at all.

what?

Controllers are for cover shooters, racing games, and popcorn shooters. You can't aim with them nearly as quickly as you can with a mouse.

Id rather use KB+M, especially on a game where you have ro shoot fast moving targets including flying ones.

(checked)
What is the purpose of the centurion armor? Isn't the terminator armor a far more superior than the fat suit for the sphees mehreens?

More avaiability, longer range and its a middle ground between both Standart Issue and Terminator armor.

I can't believe how wrong your post is

KEK
E
K

honestly we're best served if the game offers ergonomic options for both users of keyboards and gamepads.

For this game I'll probably prefer M+KB, but I wouldn't be against trying the controller with it to see how that fared as well since I may want to play more casually.

How do you even live with yourself?

He won't for long

You're the type to cut off your nose to spite your face eh?

You cant even type user, go home.

Im just doing my part

I am home

Well.. I guess Mark will be buying it.. will ya Mark?

How disgraceful.

I have a USB controller plugged into my desktop computer right now. I play indie games on it occasionally given their more simple and arcade style control schemes.

I play them in a reclined and comfortable position in my office chair.

How does this make you feel?

So how do you guys cheese inferno difficulty to farm for weapons? Any specific loadouts that help? How much armor do you collect before you attempt inferno? Do you just git gud?

*specifically referring to 2017, but any of them where you've managed to beat inferno difficulty is fine

I seem to remember Crimson is a fairly popular farming mission due to the abundance of melee-only red ants.

And here's one that's slightly more interesting than just watching a man hover over the enemy with an autogun.

Makes me feel like you're trying to justify your repulsive casual ways, while also explicitly stating that you play lazily made sub par "indie" games.
And you do not express the slightest bit of shame about it.

Also, guess what? I also have a controller, and you don't need to sit 3 yards away from a screen to be comfy, nigger

So long as people are having fun, isn't that what's important?

once you unlock the proteus and one of the big fuck you missiles on air raider you can grind any outside map like nobody's business.

...

MFW I consider buying copies for friends to bolster sales.

I want them to release everything possible on Steam ASAP.

Who said I sit three yards away? Think context. I said I play in my office chair (not the sofa). That is to say, I'm playing at my desk. At most my face would be 3 to 4 feet from my screen if that.

Even if I felt compelled to play multiple yards from my screen what of it?

Such autism for video games.

buy it for anons to bolster sales :)

No context problem here. I just assumed too much. What was the point of your post then? I can play my games in a comfortable position too, and I don't need a controller for that.
Well that would be peculiar as fuck for a start. But do what you want user.
I think you've lost your way, chump. You seem to have stumbled upon Holla Forums by mistake.
And come on user. You're the one who got all autistic over a >fukkencashulz post. How fucking new are you? Also your posts reek of reddit.

Who is more autistic, the autist or the autist who gives him a (you)?

Honestly I'm just here to shitpost.

Well you tell me, friend.

O-oh geez. It's sad that this is special, but this is special. I've really gotta buy this game now.

Hence the name

You should know by now not to blindly trust the promises made by devs.

Specs for this will be monstroust right? I guess I wont run it on my 8y old toaster

This is what the steam page says

Into the jaws on hell, we fight until we win!

I'm amazed there's any buildings left standing still!

They're not promising anything, they're just saying it's not going to be a thing right now but they aren't ruling the possibility out.

...

Now all the YT spergs are gonna play EDF and succesfully ruin it for everyone.

Yes I'm re-opening this can of worms just because I'm bored and there's really nothing else to talk about until the game releases
Remember that EDF has a lot of buttons that need to be pressed, up to 5 dedicated to attacking, and you just cannot comfortably map them all to PC (Imagine trying to play Armored Core 4 with KB+M), although you can certainly do well enough to get by. However, the biggest issue to consider is that the game actively negates the primary benefits of KB+M, speed and precision, as classes, weapons, and vehicles have completely different camera speeds which would be extremely frustrating to deal with using a mouse, and enemies being the size of buildings or coming in huge swarms, missing them with wide range weapons and explosions is virtually impossible and extremely sad.

I'm basically worried about trying to play fencer, doing dash cancels with KB+M. It can probably be done, but I can't think of a comfy way to do it at the moment.

They've already done that

now imagine this but with hundreds of twich cunts
fuck

Speed and precision are negated ingame and that still doesnt mean you cant get a better precision since its much easier to control the de/acceleration of Vehicles/Fencer with a Mouse since shit like diagonal movement is much easier to get right than with a Joystick.


Shift+MB1 rinse and repeat


Twitch wont play this, its a different kind lf autism.
Pewdiepie and other wacky game faggots probably will though.
That doesnt mean much though since the PvP is barely worth mentioning and theyll probably just disregard it as a bad game altogether.

Thats what I was considering too. Most common setup would probably be M1/2 - R1/2, Shift/Ctrl - L1/2, Space - Roll/boost, but anything in the pinky zone would be uncomfortable for frequent use, fingers are dedicated to movement and infrequent actions (enter vehicle) at best, and thumb would be awkward on anything but space. Using M4/5 for L1/2 would probably work and be more comfortable, but not everyone has those buttons and there's still a bit of awkwardness in using them for anything other than infrequent actions like detonating limpets.
Another thing I forgot to mention earlier that would make KB+M harder to use is that different classes have actions bound to different weapons, primarily Fencer, so its a bit more complicated mapping actions to appropriate keys when what was once reload is now kill yourself by shooting ally in the back.

So when is the release exactly? Midnight PDT or the standard store update time for Steam?

They're probably avoiding a specific time since they botched the Onechanbara release.

Welp, seems like the game isn't releasing on Monday for us in Europe. It's like Tuesday at 5am because retarded timezones. Can't confirm it just yet though, somebody just posted a quote from the dev (not a picture of the post) saying it releases at 20:00 PDT on Monday. So take it with a grain of salt. But wouldn't surprise me.

Fuck me, it releases right when I start work if that is true. Are they doing a global release based on JP time or something?

They are
The first announcements were all for Japan
twitter.com/EDF_OFFICIAL

Made this guide over a year ago, and just updated it.

If anyone is new to the series, or finds the title translations confusing, then hopefully this will help.

Breddy gud

Can you play as qt soldiers?

I hope you're into oviposition

yes

lewd

good job with that guide user.

Nice. Is there a guide that gives a rundown on the classes and how they play?

Not that user but can give you a brief rundown.

Trooper is a generic grunt, you have a basic jump and rolls along with the most versatile selection of weapons.
Wing Diver has an energy pack that they use to fly around, and also reload some/most of their weapons. Their weapons are energy weapons of various types from short range lasers to homing energy blasts.
Air Raider is mostly calling things in from airstrikes, orbital bombardments, to tanks/helicopters/robot suits. Other than that they mostly have support weapons.
Fencer (only in EDF 4 and EDF 4.1) is the big gun. Lots of heavy weapons like rockets, gatling guns, and the like. Can also use hammers, swords, and shields for melee. Has a short range dash but moves slowly (unless you boost cancel with shield).

Trooper/ranger is just a ground pounding infantryman. Standard ballistic & explosive weapons, with a few gimmick energy weapons that cannot be reloaded at all. Can pilot, but not call in vehicles. Design has been more or less completely the same through the series; ballistic glasses helmet, flak jacket, fatigues.

Wing Diver/Pale Wing is a jetpacking laser gun wielding battle waifu. Both the jetpack and her weapons feed from the same power source, with weapons having a magazine that 'reloads' by drawing a certain charge from the backpack. Weapons often have peculiar effects/firing fashions or specializations. Although I didn't play the earlier releases, Pale Wing is the more reserved and better of the two designs for having an actual outfit & neat eagle helmet, as the Wing Diver is basically just a mess of random Ravager metal bits on a girl.

Air Raider is an import of Insect Armageddon's Tactical Armor, and is the source of the formerly static on-map vehicles in EDF 2025-4.1 Beside calling in vehicles (which are now equipment items and can therefore scale with difficulty, where before they were quickly outscaled and rendered useless) he has turrets and mines, which were formerly items for the trooper class, various deployables that buff/debuff or shield players, and support call-ins like bombers, AC-130 strafing runs, artillery strikes, and cruise missles. There's also razor wire launchers and limpet guns for actual firearms, but you probably won't be using these if you aren't solo, as they're really lukewarm in my opinion.

The Fencer, likewise, is an import of Insect Armageddon's Battle Armor, although only in that both are big Mobile Armor esque suits. The gameplay similarity ends there. You get to have two pairs of weapons instead of two singles like the other classes, which can be matched or mismatched as you please. Big gatling guns, cannons and shoulder launched missiles are the most conventional, but beside that, there's earthquake hammers, pile bunkers, and laser wave swords. Also the fastest class in the game if you exploit boost cancelling. Looks like some kind of tacticool tokukatsu roboknight.

Thanks, anons. Man, I wish the nips weren't retarded with their release schedule and putting it up the next fucking day

Happy to help, these games don't get enough attention in my opinion. Honestly I don't mind the wait, as long as the game runs well. I'm pretty sure this will be their first release on PC.

Also, it's worth mentioning that the dlc weapons aren't very good (if I remember right). They are fine when you first start the game, but are quickly outclassed.

Hes all around the slowest for everything but travel speed, and even then is only slightly faster than wing diver. Air Raider has the fastest travel speed with the Grape and a few other vehicles.
Just a heads-up, the Natsuiro DLC tank, though overall pretty useless, has some insane movement and turning speed. It is good to get early on if you want to focus on picking up boxes while your friends kill everything.

...

Sandlots first PC game
D3PublishersJP (JP being pretty much the only one now since NA is now a mobile only publisher) second released game, first one being Onechanbara Z2.

Quads

You don't consider the NPC's to be your friends? I bet you let them all die too.

I never got to bring friends

We are talking about travel speed user.
Not aiming speed or weapon DPS
You're right though, Air Raider is the fastest class *and the best one**


Your loss

Fastest foot speed, pardon me. Dash cancelling is a hell of a drug. Obviously the wheeled vehicles & bikes and most the tracked ones will beat anything on foot and the Wing Diver wins out in urban or excessively uneven terrain.

Thats why you should raze every building in sight.
They're nothing but a pain in the ass

But user, what about saving the citizens from the giant insects?

Ill just write that the Ravagers did it in my report.
Problem solved

I see game has colossal pacific rim kind of mechs, but does it have smaller ones, like in say front mission or armored core 5?
Or at least something like gundams?

see

When in doubt you ALWAYS choose EDF

Oh my fucking god

Okay it's the 18th. Where's my fucking game?

user… it's apparently coming 10PM PDT, aka FUCKING TUESDAY

...

I can't wait to buy this, copy the folder, ask for a refund and wait for the crack.

Fucking commie timezones.

Ok I googled around and it seems that only support dude can call in and ride mechs?
Can I play as power armor dude and also call in and ride mechs?
Can I swap characters during mission?

Yes

No

No

I guess I'll settle on maining support dude then.

SIX MINUTES

See:

user may have meant tuesday in his shitty timezone
WELL IT'S THE 18TH IN COMMIEFORNIA WHERE THE FUCK IS IT

10PM commiefornia time, user. We still got like a day.

fucking jap kikes

This is going to be a long Monday.

Are they trying to drag it out so we get anxious and buy all the DLC or something? Because this is going to have the opposite effect they intended

So my best friend came over on my birthday and spent the entire day playing EDF with my sister, as I'm leaving work this morning (we both work overnights) I see him at my store buying a copy of EDF 4.1. (I'm a janitor in a 24/7 Walmart) I think I accidentally created a life-long fan of EDF

user, EDF 4.1 on Steam needs to sell really well, if we want to see more EDF on PC in the future.

pls don't ;_;

Instead of buffing terminator armor, they made the centurion shit. They needed more stuff to sell.

It's still a little too squishy for my tastes but fuck it's so fast

...

so is anyone else hyped?

...

No

I'm praying that the port isn't shit.

The whole reason why we want a PC port is because they run like fuck half the time on consoles. Sandlot would be retards to have a horrible port.

I have played the ps2 one and 2025, they both run at silky smooth 20fps at pretty much all times.
This is why I'm praying that the port isn't shit you drooling retard.

one can pray.

Pretty sure they just based in on nip time

ishiggydiggy

I hope it's Revengance tier but that's just pushing it.

The "where do you think we are" wasnt clear enough I guess

Its ok user, I understood and chuckled due to its dry delivery.

Que te Jordan

I hope those fuckers change their minds and just drop it early like what happened with Senran Kagura.

Only if you do a better job as mod Mark.

I-I'll try

Just cut down on the sperg outs and everything should be daijoubu.

HOLY SHIT ITS OUT

I don't believe you.

I'm just gonna play Insect Armageddon all day every day, until 4.1 is out, to hype myself.

Anyone wanna co-op?

I love IA, but fucking christ those ticks. Jesus fuck, who thought they were a good idea?

that's what I've been doing.

Bullshit

I still get a chuckle out of the last one honestly, but you obviously had some shit going on. I've never been accused of being the eleven jew before.

Anyway, 1AM is fine don't lie, you'll still be awake

It has been a while since the last one

Shit's been rough user, I'm hoping thing will turn around soon. but we'll see.

Well there was a very minor sperg out I think last month. basically there was a shit ton of shit threads, and I asked people why they didn't report it. and while I didn't ban anyone, but I did whine like a bitch.

I hope everythings alright you faggot kike jew

Oh yeah, I remembered that one
Wasnt it the meta thread?

I'm not trying to start shit, but you did ban me.

Go watch some animays, they make everything better.

things seem to be getting better, I should be getting a check at the end of the month for this part time gig I've been doing. so here's hoping something comes outta that.


Did I? Was it an hour or ten minutes.

yea

Uh, honestly I can't remember cos I just changed my VPN and came straight back don't ban me again Maku. It was a longer one for 'VPN abuse' because you had it in your mind I was Hiroyuki for some reason.

oh. either way my apologies.

...

All good. Obviously there was some heavy shit going down outside of here, so I hope your shit gets better soon.

How many hours til EDF now?

Thank you.

and Soon™

Soon™ is never Soon™ enough.

this is true

I'm gonna bully you in EDF

Videogames will never be taken seriously as long as they insist on shoving tits and ass into everything.
For fucks sake. I think this is the breaking point. I'm too old for this shit.

Good, they shouldn't be taken seriously.

it's best when they're silly

Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 8 out of 8

Hi! Just wanted you to know I read your post.

lol

OH DIOS MIOS

$35 seems really good for a price for this.

steamcommunity.com/app/410320/discussions/0/366298942104

also laugh at this faggot

Looks like the discussion you tried to link got purged.

This is why you archive shit

If its still open in your window, screencap it and post.

This. Videogames are a form of art, and all art forms need a committee to decide what things are allowed and what things are not. Sexualization of bees is not okay in art.

...

...

...

This. I know you guys want video games to be art, how can you expect it to become a form of art if there's sex everywhere? UGH. I tell you, I constantly keep telling my dad video games are as deep as movies and books but he always laughs in my face, and I want to prove him wrong. Please take it seriously.

I copied it from the steam window but I guess it didnt copy the whole thing

But user, it's hip to fuck bees.

Fuck off.

Is vinesauce still a thing? I remember having fun with the autistic misfits of their creative channel.

SEXUALIZE THE BEES, THE HORNETS AND ANY OTHER INSECTS

Vinesauce's community is worse than it's ever been, which is a shame because the content isn't half bad.

Honestly I don't entirely disagree with him. $50 base price does seem kinda steep for a PC port of a 2013 game + 2015 expansion stuff. Especially when they're putting up a grip of Day 1 DLC.

I don't think he's entirely wrong.

...

Whoops, wrong image

ports of niche games usually aren't going to be that cheap

That still isn't an excuse.

What? I'm not saying it should be sold for 50 dosh but do you seriously expected it to be released with the same or barely raised pricetag?
I'll be pirating it anyway, since i'm a poorfag.

I'm not saying that it's not to be expected, but that doesn't make it justifiable. It's a pretty hefty price tag for a game that's been out for 3 years + expansion content that's been out for over a year.

For comparison, Serious Sam 3: BFE launched for 40 bucks (10% pre-order discount + 10% discount for previous Serious Sam owners), and that was a brand new game. It's easy to forget now, but before BFE put Serious Sam and Devolver on the map, Serious Sam was also very quite niche, as well.

Of course porting requires work and payment as well, but 4.1 has been out for over a YEAR now. It's already made the cash it was going to from its main development. The profits from selling it on a new platform NOW could (and should) be what's used to cover the costs of porting.

It's a pretty bad price, is my point.

whats the point when you play alone

multiplayer is the real joy for these games

Also
Then what the fuck are you arguing against? That's been the entire point that we're making - it SHOULDN'T be sold for 50 dosh. And if you agree with that, then what's the problem?

So you're not going to support EDF, and you won't be spending any of your hard -earned money on this product, but you're going to sit there and tell other people that they have no business being upset over the high price of something that they ARE spending their money on?

Get fukt, hebrew

The game I'm buying today is going to cost me $35. Not really sure why you're comparing it with a game that costs more.

I'm talking about base price. If you're including discounts, then BFE still cost less.

I'd rather play it solo than not at all.


You discount that they probably need new servers as well, and not just a few if it really kicks in, which isn't a one time payment upkeep.


Nigga what now? 50 USD is like 15k where i live. I'm good if i can have 30-20k to spend each month to anything not food. I'm not telling you can't be upset, i'm telling you that they didn't just put it up for so much because they want mad profits.

Why would I include discounts that may not apply. I personally am not a previous owner and I never pre-order. That game would be $40 for me.

EDF is going to be $35 today and for I think a week or two.

One week

So what if someone doesn't have the money to buy it during the discount period, and then only has it when the game is available for the base price? That discount may also not apply. So you're just picking and choosing, there.

Besides, even if you do conclude that BFE would have cost you more at launch than EDF4.1, it doesn't really matter as my entire point is that BFE would be entirely justified to cost more than EDF4.1, as it was an entirely new game when it launched. EDF4.1 has been out for over a year. EDF4 has been out for over 3 years. This PC port is not a brand new game. I already own EDF4.1 on PS4. There is no justification for it costing as much as it does.


They're almost definitely going to be using Steam servers for multiplayer. And server maintenance for online games isn't nearly as costly as you might think.

I also wasn't imposing a requirement for you to buy the game. I understand that funds can be tough. But just try having some perspective on the fact that you're not going to be losing any money from this, one way or the other, but a lot of the rest of us will. And I stand by my statement that it's a unjustifiable price tag.
(I'm a dev. I understand the costs that go into making games. I'm not drawing this conclusion out of thin air.)
(inb4 someone equates this to "my uncle works at nintendo!!!")

I don't necessarily think they want "mad profits". If I were to make a guess as to the motivation behind making it cost so much, then I'd say that some of the big-wigs at D3 don't think the game will sell well at all, and just want some guarantee that they will make a bit of a profit from the niche audience that they're assuming will buy it no matter what. I can understand that motivation and I can understand making this decision with that motivation, but I also think it's bad decision and that their reasoning is out of touch with their audience. There's a bigger audience for EDF, especially on Steam, than they might realize, and it would only grow due to word-of-mouth (which is how all of us here know about EDF in the first place). But if I didn't know jack shit about EDF, and some friend was telling me it's the greatest thing in the world and I need to get it, I'd be really quite hesitant with a game that isn't brand new, or AAA, costing $50. Hell, I never buy AAA games at launch anymore, so it would be hard for anyone to convince me to buy this for that pricetag.

TL;DR the price is wrong

Then don't buy it faggot.

It indeed is justified for different games to cost different amounts lol

All I know is that I'm getting it for $35 and that's a fucking steal.

The price is wrong for them to to reach a wider audience and make a bigger profit.
Thats what hes trying to say

I love EDF, and I want to support EDF games being on PC, so of course I will fucking buy it.

That doesn't mean I can't criticize the price tag as being too high. I started this point in defense of someone else who was saying that the price was a bit steep, and I was simply saying that they're not entirely wrong.

I'm not saying "it's a bad game, it costs too much, it sucks dick, no one buy this !!!!!!!"

Good for you.

All I know is that I consider $35 to be a bit too much for a game I already own, and a $50 base price to be far too high for a budget title that's been out for years.

But to each his own.

I'm sorry then, didn't understood it like that.
but he is still a faggot

Honestly, at this point, i'm pretty sure that the majority of buys will be within the first two or so weeks when the price is lower, first off because the audience that wanted EDF for PC will scream it to anyone nearby from the top of their lungs, kinda like when liru got confirmed, second of all if they know the price will go higher, people tend to buy it before for less money.

aren't we all?

Mine doesnt even have a PS4 section. also fuck being a walmart janitor, nothing makes me hate other people more than this.

Sure, but that's just entirely speculative, and circumstances can vary.

I wasn't saying "What if people choose not to buy it during the discount, and purposely wait for the game to cost more?" I was saying "What if people CAN'T (for whatever reason) afford to buy it during the discount?"

Often being in such situations myself, I don't think it's an entirely unreasonable supposition to make.

Is there grind?
Is there layout customization?
Is there cosmetic customization?
Is there vehicle/mech customization?
Is the game completely linear or I can choose/replay missions?
Is there any sort of world map involved?


I guess I'm playing this shit regardless of answers to those questions, but I'm still curious.

wait $35 is too much for you?

also if you already own the game why are you bitching?

Like you already have it.

Do you think they should price the game just for you? How much do you want to spend on it? Why dont you just go to a key reseller if you're such a jew.

Yes.
Yes.
Very minor.
No.
You progress by completing levels one-by-one, but you can replay them at any time, with whatever difficulty/character/weapons you like.
No.


Yes, I consider it to be too much for me. To whom else would I consider it to be too much? By whose standards am I supposed to be making this judgment, if not my own?

My point in saying that it's a game that I already own, is that it's priced as a brand new AAA title, when it's actually a budget title that's been out for years, and will also have tons of day 1 DLC. That is bad pricing, making a bigger hole in my wallet then there needs to be (and the wallets of everyone else).

Yes, there's grinding for more HP and weapons.
Yes, mostly. What types of weapons you can use depends on the class, but they all have several categories and some of the weapons even in the same category work very differently.
No, there isn't really any cosmetic customization.
There isn't really any vehicle/mech customization, but there are usually variants of each vehicle/mech type that have different loadouts.
The mission progression is linear but you can go back and replay any mission you've beaten whenever. You can also play on any difficulty from the start but I wouldn't recommend that.
No world map either.

holy shit you talk like a faggot

also it is really fucking weird to complain that a port of a game is too much since you personally already own a copy of the game on a different platform. Like maybe you are not the target audience for this.

But yeah they should def sell it for $5 just for you lol

I don't even know what the issue you have is, but (I'd assume) EDF fans who have been demanding PC ports of EDF for years now are the exact target audience for this. Since I'm one of those fans, I think I fit the bill quite nicely, and of course I will be putting my money where my mouth is, by supporting EDF on PC.

That doesn't mean I can't consider the pricetag to be unjustifiably high.

Even to someone who DOESN'T own EDF4.1 already, I would have a hard time convincing them that it's worth getting (outside of the launch discount). Hell, at $50, I don't know if I'd feel right trying to convince anyone to buy the game, because that price tag is simply unjustifiable.

And an additional concern I have with this price is that it will keep a lot of potential customers away from it, which will be a loss for D3, and in turn will be a loss for EDF, ultimately being a loss for EDF fans. This is bad for everyone.

I need a countdown, steam just says release is today

Im assuming around 12PM PDT but sometimes for me it comes out around 10 AM PDT, I want this now.

Turns out its 8PM PDT Time, fuck me.

Goodnight everyone, I am going to wake up fresh and ready to play some EDF good counting the clock hour after hour meanwhile ill be traveling through time and dreaming of cute ant girls all the while.

I'll be joining you. Looks like my fucked sleep schedule is finally paying off.

Fugg, thats 5 in the morning for me. 11 hours and 30 minutes left for release

It's already the 19th here. By the time it comes out I won't have much time to play it. Seppo release dates suck

Where do you get that from?

steamcommunity.com/app/410320/discussions/0/366298942100793011/

You're guide is lacking information to be called one and doesn't highlight definitive versions of the games. Even while being a fan of the series I don't feel like I'd abandon insert three digit number here amount of completed missions just to update to the newer version and restart my journey to 100%, either way I'd be frustrated if I went simply by the release date\order following your guide.

Did you even play the series? Vehicles always scaled with difficulty, both hp and dmg, if they were rendered useless for you it either means that you've either grinded like hell at some point or you are just trash that have never played GTA:VC with cheatcodes which proves that you have an inferior taste at videogames and should leave this board immediately until you fix this problem.

I don't get it, why would someone be trash for not playing trash?

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK

FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS THAT HAVE ONCE AGAIN COMEBACK!

It's 25 minutes past the normal release time for steam gaymes. W-what's going on?

Japan time
8PM PDT

Nips are subhumans.

9 and a half hours to go

It's just a little infographic for people who don't know anything about EDF, mate. And it's not ordered chronologically because that's the order in which you're supposed to play them. It's just going through all the games, and lists which ones are worth playing for which systems (in this case - all of them, except Tactics, and maybe Insect Armageddon depending on where you stand on it). It's just meant to sort of clear up the series to people who might be new to it, and don't understand what 'Global Defence Force' is, and why there is an 'Earth Defense Force 2' on Vita, when no other localized EDF titles are numbered.

To 11pm for eastern US?

a little bit over 7 more hours of waiting.

That is a really stupid time to release a game.

Its something like 9AM in japan, start of their work hours. It isn't exactly a bad time since it means they have all day to fix the bugs we cant kill.

Point of my post wasn't about highlighting good things about the infographic, its about in what ways it is awful and how can you improve it(and if your a a maker of it, you should have an easier way of editing and expanding on it). For example:

In what way is it useful, when wiki page exists and lists all of the entries in the series? What is the point of this if its equally uninformative? Why not add how exactly one differs from the other, where one should start, what entries someone could skip, what shouldn't be skipped. As its said, edf started as basic series, thus improvements in sequels aren't complex and easy enough to list.
What about EDF3 then, it is basically a demo to EDF4
and so on…

Here you go.

Holy fuck the wait is killing me

Do I really need to answer this? Control you 'sperging, mate. What's the point of any infographics at all, if wikipedia pages exist on topics? What's the point of ever talking with anyone about any sort of subject, if wikipedia exists? The advantage of a simple graphic like this is the simplicity and convenience of having all of the games laid out in a simple format, with all the different titles, to clear up any confusion. It makes things nice and handy for new people, and saves time of surfing between wikis and pages, trying to understand which port is of which main game, and what localized title applies to which numbered entry, etc. It gives a little bit of info on what the series is about, and some basic info on each game. You're gay.

I did mention which entries someone could skip. A better game coming out doesn't retroactively make a previous game bad. EDF3 is fantastic. EDF4 is even more fantastic. They're both good games. Neither of them should be skipped. You deciding that you don't like EDF3 anymore doesn't make EDF3 not good, and it doesn't mean I should adjust my graphic for your particular tastes. You're gay.

What fucking improvements did you want me to list in, say, EDF 2? The main thing it added was the Pale Wing. This is mentioned in the graphic. What does EDF 3 add? Pale Wing is removed, friendly AI is added and there's a graphical/scale overhaul. This stuff is mentioned. The information is meant to be simple and quick. How fucking deep into the nuance of each tiny bit of design, in each title, did you want me to go? It doesn't matter, because deep analytical information wasn't the fucking intention of the graphic. It's meant to be simple. You want it to be complex. You are criticizing it for not doing something it was never meant to do. You're gay.

Where SHOULD one start? Any core EDF game is as good of a starting point as any. This is stated in the graphic.


The only useful and constructive thing you've given me here is that I haven't updated the EDF4 text, from when I first made the graphic (before 4.1 came out). I will update that in the future. Thanks for that. You're still gay.

5 hours and 20 minutes

bugs did 9/11

Should add Dynamarisa 3D since up until now it was the only PC EDF game that actually had the soul of EDF, plus its got some neat features like randomized loot modifiers.

Except, usually, 1 fucking page doesn't cover the whole infographic, you have to offer a bit more than what a simple google search could yield.

Where did I imply that EDF3 is bad? Where did I imply that I dislike it? If this infographic is made for non-fans of the series, then what's the fucking purpose in telling them to play an inferior version? EDF3 content is pretty much included in EDF4, so is EDF1's in EDF2. You are almost literally doing the same exact missions. Now let's see, are you retarded enough to not see my implications here? A random person might not be eager enough to replay the same game again, when he could be hooked on the sequel's additions instead and stick around for that reason alone, though in another situation its better for one to get a quick look at the shortest entries before trying out the bigger ones.

Hmm, let's see, yeah, actually you're right, there is pretty much nothing to list aside from
almost doubled amount of missions(that could be very tiresome to go through once even on the first play of the series) and monster types(that are an experimentation that sometimes work and sometimes don't), more weapons

Base for an air raider and fencer. A~nd it cuts tons of the EDF2 content and in retrospect looks like a trial version of EDF4. It's like recommending to play soul sacrifice and then say something like "if you've liked the game, you could buy an expansion that forces you to replay the entire game, yeah, you'd also have to pay twice, but who cares, at that point you are already a fan of the game, so suck it up". Do I have to elaborate on how is this wrong or your a smart enough to get my drift?

Except that is wrong. Sure, from different perspectives combined every main game in the series is an equally good entry point, but not all games are equally good for each different person. For example, for someone who'd enjoy onlineplay the only perfect solution would be 4.1 since every other entry with an internet access is pretty much fucking dead. For a portable piratefag - EDF2p, because it is playable without japanese knowledge and not because an infographic told them to, and so on.

Yes, infographic is supposed to be simple, it is your job to make complex stuff accessible otherwise you've done fuck all. Instead of justifying your laziness in some places by arguing on imageboards and calling some user a faggot, you could instead improve your own work and make things better for everyone.

Epic.

And jesus fuck mate. By your goddamn standard, no one should play any EDF game except 4.1. Why would you? It's pretty much all the same gameplay and the same content, just more stuff with each title. So why would you ever go back?

Except that's just your own twisted weird idea of the series. As far as I'm concerned, every EDF (except Tactics) is worth playing, and I have no qualms about recommending that people play any of them, depending on what platforms they have access to. If you've got a problem with that - make your own better alternative, instead of sperging at me for not making something the way you think it should be made. That's the ACTUAL constructive thing to do, instead of telling me I'm wrong for saying "These games are good, you should try them."

I'm not trying to 'justify my laziness', what the fuck kind of a retard would even say something like that? This isn't my fucking job, and it isn't even something that's particularly important. It's a simple little internet image that I threw together in my spare time, to promote something I like. I'm not going to quit my job and spend all my days properly analyzing and investigating everything about some silly video games, so that I can put together the most perfectest internet image.

I've done the job I wanted to do with making a silly little image on the internet. I've made the image I set out to make. If it's not how you would have made it, or if you would have made it different, then please - make one yourself. I encourage you to do so. You haven't told me a single thing I've objectively done wrong (except the outdated EDF4 description), all you've done is sperg at me about your personal disagreements on my creative choices. I didn't do those things because they aren't what I was going for, when I was making the image, and I'm baffled as to why you think you sperging up a storm in my face would make me change my mind. Be the change you want to see, faggot. Do it yourself.

Ignoring the parts where you put words in my mouth, sure I'll lay out alternatives in a simple way.
If you're new to the series and love to buy on things that Holla Forums hypes about, get 4.1.
If you're a bit more sane you have a choice between trying out older entries of the series.
Vita: proper - EDF2 IFPS, lazy - EDF17p;
Piratefag: proper - EDF2p or GDF, lazy - MA(EDF1);
EDF2 IFPS and MA are my recommendations for some convenient reasons, for one, being a definitive versions of the games.
I wouldn't recommend going with EDF17(any kind) or GDF.
EDF2p depends on the situation, since one could have a hard on from the mere concept of a serious sam of videogames being played on a portable system that doesnt require you to pay money.
EDF:IA is a no, as the first entry can go since it offers very limited experience even compared to MA.
Most optimal way to experience the series MA, EDF 2 IFPS, EDF17p, EDF 4.1, EDF:IA and maybe EDF2p.
To make it more constructive give each game one additional sentence or just make some visual distinction and that's pretty much it. Pretty simple, isn't it?

Where do you think we are? you fokin casul

My point is that your irrelevant internet image may cause harm, instead of making things better for everyone as you've intended at the first place, your a justifying look one sentence above you're laziness shifting own work on someone else by arguing, instead of accepting own's faults, but I feel you, honestly, though I can't do much about it.

Beautiful. Now put that info in an image, and boom - you've created healthy competition for me, in the ever-changing unstable marketplace of EDF infographics.

And that's where we disagree. I don't see any possible harm being caused by a little image saying "This game is pretty good. This game is also pretty good. This game is not quite as pretty good. This game is exceptionally pretty good!" and, like I said, it serves the purpose I intended it to.

The reason why I said I wasn't 'justifying my laziness' is because I have no reason NOT to be lazy. I can be as lazy about this as I'd like. I have no obligation to anyone. I have no adherence to professional standards of quality in infographic creation. I made this image because I saw people posting stuff like "Wait, EDF 2 on Vita? Is that a port of 2025? Which one is EDF 2?" and I figured people who aren't familiar with the series' Jap roots and weird title localization might get confused about this shit. I figured I could make a little image that helps put all the games in order, with their different titles, and as a bonus it could serve as a recommendation of the series, and explain some BASIC stuff about them. And people just love infographics!

I made the image I set out to make, exactly the way I set out to make it, and I worked as hard as I reasonably could on it. I wasn't being lazy in my work. You could argue I was lazy in my conception for the image, and that I should have aimed deeper, but then that's an entirely different argument, and I can still just as easily say "no lol, that's not what the point of the image was, fuck off!"


Also, I'd like to see the part where I 'put words in your mouth', you cock-smoking queef

Kill yourself


Stop replying to bait

b-but it looks so tasty…

Three examples that you fail to see.
Person A starts from MA, finishes it, goes into GDF, burns out since GDF is twice as long and consists on 60% of MA.
Person B starts with GDF/EDF17/EDF25, does a bit more research on EDF2IFPS/EDF17p/EDF4.1, goes fuck that and drops the series.
Person C starts with IA, bases his opinion of series on an objectively shitty entry.
Neither of those will support developers by buying EDF4.1(and other games in the series) and if they are Holla Forums goers, they are likely to shit up the threads the more popular the series gets, and that's not because they don't have a taste, it's because they've made wrong conclusions out of some internet picture that you have no obligations of fixing to prevent something like that.

I agree on that myself but
not as long there are definitive versions of said games. Plus not all people have all the time in the world to play videogames. Plus since EDF is a pretty basic game some could notice that they are reusing the same formula, which may get stale for some people, especially since I, for example, would expect at least two playthroughs through 1 game and there are at least 5 for each of them increasing by 5 with each character included.
So it may be a wrong choice to play every game in the series for some. That is not my, nor you're choice to make for them. What infographic should do is offer enough information so the fresh meat could be able to make the right decision on how much stamina they could spend on the series, so they could get the maximum enjoyment.

People that require a guide, aren't bothered enough in the first place.


Got me there.

4.1 isn't much of an improvement over 2025 which I already have on ps3 (besides the obvious performance fixes) so that's a pirate for me for the sake of preservation
