The top of their list currently is Assassin's Creed Chronicles. I can imagine even the folks at the ESRB are probably rolling their eyes like slot machines and wishing Ubisoft would just stop already. Or wish they could have some fun with it - :what: 'Rating delayed, game crashed every time we tried to start it.'

The ESRB doesn't actually play any games as far as I am aware. They just get footage of the offensive parts sent to them.

Sweeeet. Do you know what is all involved in this DLC? Also am I correct in assuming that the DLC packs are already all released in japan and that they are just going to slowly feed them out to us here?

So I'm trying to play 4.1 with my buddies but whenever we host a room we join and the host can see both people, but the other two players can't see each other (only the host). It does this regardless of who hosts.

Anyone experienced this or know what's going on?

The GDF Deploys is the official goon group. Sometimes we form party chats but lately we're satisfied to just spam quick text at each other in game. If you friend d43m0n_au_ (the group creator) he'll probably let you in the group.

Alright I'll add him and probably be on later tonight. I haven't played this much yet but I'd be down for some online as long as people don't mind carrying me. I played the hell out of 2017 and a good amount of 2025 so I'm not horrible at least :shobon:

Edit: Added him. I'm CowmanIII on PSN and like I said I'll try and play some tonight. Gotta get some stuff done first.

Edit 2: Main reason I haven't played much is because I played 2017 with a buddy of mine and co-op was so much fun. We 100%ed it on his and I believe my 360. We really enjoyed it

Is the new DLC only Very Hard and Inferno difficulty? I'm playing through normal first, and might steer away from it for now of that's the case.

It does, just like the main game.

No, it has all 5 difficulties.


Weapon farming question: whatever happened to mission 92 (the gold ant UFO method)?

Missions 27 and 81 are still as much a hotbed as they were in the JP edition but I don't ever see people doing 92 anymore. Has it been changed for the NA version or something?

alright I'm gonna pick up the mission pack today and I was wondering if any of the other paid DLC is worth picking up. Since I'm getting the mission pack I may as well pick up others if they're good.

Are weapons shared across character classes? I started with the regular soldier but I think wing diver looks like a lot of fun once you have some armor.

nope, every class has different weapons and you can only collect them while playing as that class. armor isn't shared either.

So do all your offline farming in co-op mode, so you can either get double the armor or two different types of weapons.

If you're talking about online mode, it doesn't matter what player and which class picks up the weapon and armour boxes, in the end all players get the same amount of weapons and armour for the class they're playing as regardless of which player/class collected the respective item.
So if you're playing as Ranger and your Wing Diver teammate is swooping everything up, in the end you'll get Ranger weapons and they get WD weapons, and both are credited the total amount of armour boxes (which do not translate into armour points equally for all classes).

Offline mode is different, see above.

Two kinds of green ants, gold ants, silver spiders, purple/red Retiarius, gold queens, probably some other things I'm forgetting. There are also new configurations of Hectors, like having a shield on both hands.

Those green ants are insane, the game drops to like 5 fps when I use my blasthole spear on a group of them. I'm playing all the DLC missions on my fencer first, but I'm wondering how are you supposed to survive them as a ranger or air raider? Just keep shooting and hope they don't get near? I was playing with a random and I had to pretty much solo the green ant missions by boost canceling, and even then they were right on me the whole time

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
So what exactly are the controls for the Balaam? I've found out that R1-R1-L1-R1 does an uppercut combo, and L3 looks like some kind of taunt. I know there's a stomp for dealing with bugs too, but I can't figure out how to do that. Are there any other moves that I'm missing too?

Aug 23, 2006

Chew on that... you overgrown son of a bitch.

Actually you already have the controls down. The taunt sometimes gets you up faster when you get knocked down, so just jam on that L3 forever so you can get up again. Alternating L1 and R1 lets you punch forever, which you probably already know. As far as a stomp, I think it might just be passive trample damage? Not sure. Dealing with bugs on the ground is far better done by just looking down and punching at them.

L2 or R2, for Left Foot or Right Foot respectively! :eng101: But looking down and punching in better... :eng99:
Also, the L3-thingy requires good timing to succeed at a knock-down recovery. Press it right before/as you hit the ground.
