STORY
-----------------------------------------------------
The Earth Defense Force, a unified multinational military sponsored by nearly every country, is founded after detecting an impending alien visit in case the aliens prove to be hostile. In the year 2017, that proved to be true and the EDF fought against the Ravagers, an alien race that attacked Earth with giant insect-like creatures, UFOs, robots, and gigantic, 120 foot tall lizard-like creatures. Eight years What the gently caress are you doing reading this? Buy this loving game it owns holy poo poo!

-----------------------------------------------------
Character Classes
-----------------------------------------------------
Ranger

Composed of foot infantry capable of using several vehicles and mechas.

Wing Diver

Airborne class composed exclusively of women who use high tech weaponry and jet packs.

Air Raider

A class specialized in the assistance of infantry and airborne soldiers, capable of:

Deploying health recovery field generators and force shields.
Summoning vehicles into the battlefield.
Ordering air raids over designated targets.

Fencer

A heavily armored class with a variety of weapons, such as:

A deflective shield that cuts all damage taken while readied, although it overheats and goes offline if used for too long.
A blast-hole spear that fires high-pressure plasma into anything you can stab it into, destroying it from the inside. It also has a side thruster that lets you thrust-dash around at high speed.
A handheld Gatling gun that your suit is just powerful enough to carry around. It takes time to spin up and doesn't boast tremendous accuracy, but its rapid-fire properties are reliable in a pinch.
A vibro-drive hammer that smashes anything in the vicinity.
An armor-piercing hand cannon that deals a powerful blow, but leaves you unguarded for about a second after firing due to recoil absorption.

How do I move faster?

RyuujinBlueZ posted:

Watch the thrusters on your back when you dash. They'll fire, flare up, and then fade before vanishing. Just before they disappear you want to hit your shield's reflect. You can then pretty much just mash dash again, I find the trickiest part is the timing to hit the reflect.

It is massively easier (and more useful) with the Ion Shield. The normal shield might be okay with it, and it's actually slower than just repeatedly dashing like normal with the tower shield.

-----------------------------------------------------
ENEMIES

Biological Units

Black Ants: giant black ants that attack in vast numbers. Known attacks: bite, acid shoot.

Q & A
-----------------------------------------------------

Reviews? Still gently caress you if you care.

Achievements? Keep eating poo poo.

How many guns do I get to play with?

Neo Helbeast posted:

A lot.

Split Screen Couch Co-op multiplayer? Yup!

Online Multiplayer? Up to 4 players

When does it come out? Feb 18, 2014

When can I buy this second coming of video games? Right here.

I own every console ever. What are the differences between the PS3 version and 360 version?
360 was the main SKU so it has less-ish slowdown
360 allows for online + couch co-op simultaneously while the PS3 does not
360 saves all couch co-op data to player one, not to two different accounts (so you can't get achievements on two accounts but if you care about this you should prolly look at your sad little life and realize how much of a waste you really are).

Did you make this game up or are those truly giant spiders and bees in a real game

Did you not play EDF 2017? You know, the GOTG EDF 2017? If you haven't, fix your life by purchasing it right away. If you don't, you'll die a worthless, pathetic husk. EDF 2017 owns.

Its console only as well due to the developers being Japanese. If it does come out for PC (we can only pray to the anime gods), I will buy that poo poo ASAP.

EDF 2017 is 360 only so you prolly should correct that! You can get a now 360 for something like $50 or a handjob. It's cheap. Buy it!

Yeah, if you liked terrible Insect Armageddon then imagine a game that is 25x bigger and better in every way. That's the 'real' EDF.

Insect Armageddon is the Diet Rite Cola to the EDF 2017's Coca~Cola Original Formula (the one with actual cocaine).

It would take a lot, and I mean a LOT, to make up for how bad IA was. I'm going to pass on 2025 because IA ruined the series for me and asking $50 for an EDF game is hilarious, but I hope we're not burned again.

Fun hating people deserve to be miserable. EDF 2025 is gonna own!

The fifteen character limit on gamertags is busting my balls here. (Most good names are sixteen) But I finally got the metatag up.

360 owners send friend requests to HOWCANYOUMISS and I'll check it nightly to accept it and you all can use the dummy silver account to find each other on the promised day.

I've been out of the 360 live meta tag poo poo for a while. If someone knows of what the best way to gather goons for bug squashing, lemme know and I'll add it to the OP.

Same goes for the PS3 owners out there. Whatever is agreed upon will go in the OP.

You should probably put dash cancel information under the Fencer section, as the class is nigh-unplayable without knowing about it.

Done

univbee posted:

- Avenues for adding other players for each platform.
- A breakdown of differences between the 360 and PS3 versions (as well as specifics like how Player 2's progress on the 360 only gets saved to Player 1's save).
- Extra highlighting of the game owning

Someone give links for the PS3 friends list and 360 friend list.

The GB Quick Look was awful to watch. I can understand that not everyone enjoys this type of game, but to watch someone be so dismissive of it because he can't read words on the screen in front of him is just infuriating.

Who in the gently caress gives the slightest gently caress about "gaming journalism" in the year 2014? Play game, have fun. If anyone cares about reviews, go to the nearest dog park and eat their droppings.

For fucks sake we have reviewers praising the latest CoD game while calling Donkey Kong "samey". Who really gives a poo poo anymore. They all might as well be youtube personalities.

Also fencer owns your FACE!

I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything stupidly obvious, but is there a specific button (on 360) to call in vehicles/air strikes and other "special" actions? I'm in the very very early (first ten) missions and a few times the commentary has noted that "air strikes are ready" and poo poo like that but I have no idea how to do anything with it (playing as a Wing Diver). Also, any tips for Wing Divers in general? The speed is wonderful after slowly marching around as a ranger but I'm always eating through my Wing Energy like crazy trying to kill stuff quickly.

That just background chatter unless you're the air raider.
