i can't handle the stagger. it's immensely aggravating, to the extent that i never bothered to finish the game.

It's Unreal Engine, even. Because it's made by Yuke's, who are legendary for producing janky piles of jank. They made all the WWE wrestling games from like 2000 to 2018, for reference.

I'd personally say start with 4.1 just because even though 5 has more interesting toys to play with 4.1's overall pacing and mission design are better imo, but honestly you can't go wrong with either one

It's Unreal Engine, even. You can use Unreal Engine console injector to set a frame rate and resolution higher than the default, but I have no idea why it isn't available in the menus or wasn't patched in eventually. Take a look here for more information. Necessary for resolutions higher than 1080, IMO, because it is blurry as hell otherwise. You can use the | symbol to enter multiple commands on one line. For example: r.SetRes 2560x1440 | t.MaxFPS 143 will change max res and frame rate cap in just one line. The next time you open the game with the injector and hit tilde, you can press the up arrow to bring back the previous command witbout retyping it.

Bofast posted:Yeah, I found that injector workaround, but I have already requested a refund. Thanks, though Completely understandable. I will eventually create a cheat engine table to find those values so I don't have to use the injector, but having to use any third-party software to fix such an obvious issue is just asking for refunds. The pro to using a CE table over the injector is that you can freeze the value as long as the game remains open. The injector requires you to occasionally open up the console, press up, and re-enter the command because it swaps back to 1080/60 during some loading screens or cutscenes. Iron Rain's biggest issue is that you can't join multiplayer games in progress or even just hang out in a lobby waiting for the mission to be over, so the only time lobbies are listed is when they are open between missions. It really kills the MP compared to something like EDF 4.1 or 5 where you can hop in and wait for the group to finish. I have launched it so many times looking for a game and have only ever joined on two people. Unfortunately, it sold poorly to even poorer reviews, so there chance of any more patches is about as good as Nintendo selling Breath of the Wild on Steam.

It took about 80 hours, but I finally got that last DLC weapon to drop. I didn't even notice it was a DLC item when I was playing with others. The mission packs are worth it.

I had no idea the multiplayer was so bad, but that's yet another reason to not keep it. Too bad they could not put out a better product

Less people for the mission packs though, sadly. Also, did I see that right that the main games' completion percentage doesn't count for mission pack missions in 5?

Air Raider.txt - Shooting Gunship beacons through the zoom, then a friendly soldier runs in front and the beacon gets attached to him, causing swift self obliteration. Said soldier while the Mission Failed screen was loading: "You didn't expect to do such a cool thing as protecting the earth, did you?"

You don't use more time and a bigger budget to make the game 'better' or 'current'. You calculate 100% of your system power, then ignore that calculation and put in enough bugs and giant robots to use 120% of it. More system power doesn't mean fancier graphics and animations it means MORE BUGS AND ROBOTS AND THEY ARE BIGGER

After seeing GiantBomb playing the recent 'meh' looking One Punch Man game, I wish they could have used the EDF5 engine instead and just made a game where you run around punching giant monsters in the face.

drat air raider vehicles. 1500 durability? On Hard one hit from basic enemies looks to do 200 damage and most vehicles make Fencers with heavy weapons and no boost look mobile. Take out a Blacker and the main cannon takes 3 shots to kill a red ant.

Yeah, EDF5 vehicles are pretty crap in general. Calibans, Bargas, and the DLC Nix Assault can be useful.

Hwurmp posted:Yeah, EDF5 vehicles are pretty crap in general. Calibans, Bargas, and the DLC Nix Assault can be useful. It's less "EDF5 vehicles are crap" and more "low level vehicles are crap", which is honestly true in every EDF game. Blackers are really good personal transports with a half-decent gun for self defense/sniping and are dirt cheap to call in. Nyxes in general are really goddamn good; they have ridiculous shitpiles of firepower depending on specific variant, and the only enemies they really struggle with are spiders and gold ants. Bargas are situationally great. Some of the helicopters can be very good if you can handle EDF helicopter controls, which are awful. The Titan is actually fantastic - the side guns do huge damage and it's extremely durable against stuff like frog/cosmonaut gunfire, only dying rapidly to getting bug rushed(but this is a common weakness to everything). No vehicle will ever put out the same damage as an air raider competently cycling airstrikes, but they do offer a lot of utility.

I play EDF 5 on PS4 and its such a fun game. Great multiplayer community, fun joining a match when im 750 armour and my fellow players are 1200+ and i get access to weapons far out range what i am supposed to be picking up. Players are usually good about reviving you, and I love other players seem equally amused at making your soldier babble stuff while blowing up bugs. Really fun couch split screen multiplayer too, with the weapon limit removed, we can really cut loose with the loot I picked up in the multiplayer. Also, the end of the game killing god  I haven't played the single player much though, game seems more fun when there is maximum amount of carnage going on as possible.

I use vehicles to just stay alive in the matches I join as I get one shot by everything including my own weapons haha

Take out a Blacker and the main cannon takes 3 shots to kill a red ant. Red Ants are extremely durable and laughable in combat, even when you get swarmed in a vehicle. Any of the RED Nixes at least have the speed to keep you going for a bit. You can move faster going diagonally in SPIDER TANK. APCs are faster than tanks. Speed is generally your best weapon and always retreating. Most DLC vehicles are hilariously fast and the Caliban Turbo is a Free Bike with four wheels. If you want an Inferno player to help you on some missions and carry you with the aid of animes, my Steam name uses cowbell. Scalding Coffee fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Mar 28, 2020 |

It will probably go on sale again shortly. Humble Store sells it too and the 20% Humble Choice discount applies to sale prices when it goes on sale again. Don't forget that you can try out Remote Play Together splitscreen too without anyone else needing to buy a copy. Just choose splitscreen and invite them via your friends list.

It turns out Ranger hand grenades are really good for juggling bosses in multiplayer Leave it to EDF 5 to make me really appreciate all the weird guns in each class like the Quake Hakens on Fencer

I learned that invading the personal space of bosses in a Nix, really makes you respect it, and I managed to get spun around them in a second like I was glued to them. If you do that in the edge of a map, it really messes with the camera.

40 Proof Listerine posted:It turns out Ranger hand grenades are really good for juggling bosses in multiplayer I find I use primarily either air raider or wing diver in edf 5, ranger feels too exposed though I still use him once in awhile, he has some interesting weapons, especially in his 'other' category of weapons. He has lots of different grenades and you can really throw them out fast. Though I rarely use the fencer, it feels his weapons are too slow (the ones i've picked up so far anyways) and he takes alot of effort to use effective compared to the other characters. Air raider really is the star of the show though, his weapons can dish out damage and its fun to see. His vehicles really seem to be the only option to survive some levels. One weakness is he has less options for when he gets grabbed other than blowing him self up or using the ineffective(?) suppressor guns.
