So is this EDF thing actually good? Or just cos animu?

Its a guilty pleasure I would say. Its like those B-movies that feel totally cheap, but are still somehow entertaining.

 

[Last Baron]

Looks like This Book is a Dungeon got cards

Its goddamn amazing just blasting giant insects to smithereens with your buddies, as well as a large variety of other enemies including giant drop ships, humongous drones, bi-pedal robots, and more! Plus you can chant your love for the EDF along with your fellow comrades.

 

[someguyinahat]

I have it, but I haven't played it since I had a majority of the story spoiled for me years ago. Seems like there isn't a point in playing it when you know the plot twists.

That's what happened to me with Bioshock, so I know that feel.

What exactly is anime about EDF 4.1?
Go to the steam page and watch the first video, it tells you everything you need to know about the game and why the franchise is liked.

Yeah if you're not enjoying the combat then feel free to cheat away, you should enjoy the Witcher series for the story and quests.

The Combat System wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't facing groups. Like I could use the Knock-down spell to stun, and kill one meanwhile 4 of them will recover and just hack away at me. Meanwhile the musical-click combat isn't doing enough damage no matter the stance I use. It's just... frustrating. One-on-one it isn't so bad, but against groups it's just putting the fear of combat into me.

Try shifting to group stance more frequently while in the swamps. Act 2 serves as a weird speed-bump in pacing and difficulty, causing a lot of players to drop it before they make it to Act 3. Which is unfortunate, since the plot actually starts moving at the very end of Act 2.

I'm not even in the Swamps yet. I just left the sewers and these Salamanders are kicking my ass. I guess it's my fault for going to the detective since he was literally five steps away from the exit instead of exploring more?

 

[Hektor]

There is no anime in the game.

Spoiler

Unless you buy the DLC

it's actually good tho, just mindless fun. Blasting hundreds of insects or robots with amazing hitfeedback and ragdoll can never not be fun.

True, besides the story there isn't much left that would be worth playing the game.

 

[Lashley]

Any word on World of Final Fantasy coming to PC?

Wether it's coming or not isn't a question really. The only question is "when".

I hope it does

Looks really really fun

 

[Uzzy]

So it looks like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is going to have an unlockable hardcore difficulty mode.

And as a treat for dedicated fans, completing Mankind Divided on Hard difficulty unlocks a mode titled, "I Never Asked For This." In this setting, players will only have one life to get through the game. Progress can be saved along the way, but if the player dies, that save gets deleted.

 

[Mivey]

So, The Witcher 1: Should I cheat engine the EXP gain to get better skills or what/ I'm level 10 in Act 2 and these stupid Salamander group people are kicking my ass as I don't have the human sword right now and Agni won't burn them continuously.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to musical-game-click the combat. :/

Focus a bit on alchemy. It is extremely OP if used correctly.

Fuck. Dat.

Doesn't seem that difficult based on the previous game, especially if you play stealth.

What makes you think it's animu? Serious question in a non-condescending way.

Huh, I see Neptunia Re;Birth1 even has El Shaddai references.

So, you're willing to buy overpriced DLC to prove a point?

Will wait for Dino Crisis references

Man, I can't wait for the new Mount and Blade

[Nzyme32]

So it looks like Deus Ex: Human Revolution is going to have an unlockable hardcore difficulty mode.

I mention this in the other thread - rather than a "one life" mode, they need to force a "ironman" kind of mode, where failures / poor choices must be stuck with. Also, harder difficulty / challenge would be massively preferable over a simply "one life"

 

[Grief.exe]

Man, I can't wait for the new Mount and Blade

Is it a new trailer?

No sorry, that old siege gameplay from e3

 

[Uraizen]

DLC.

Even Ace Combat has idolm@ster skins as DLC.

 

[Momentary]

EDF reminds me more of Starship Troopers moreso than anime

 

[kagamin]

Even Ace Combat has idolm@ster skins as DLC.

And they are glorious, let me show you:

Nah. It's the siege one from PC Gaming show.

me and a bunch of stupid assholes are going to start buying overpriced anime DLC to either die or prove a very important point

What if the point you prove to publishers is that you want more DLC?

 

[BoosterDuck]

Why can't Injustice 2 look like this?

(New jshackles avatar incoming)

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

"Unite the Six."

Well, at least their costumes have color now.

 

[KenOD]

Very different. He has a face for a chest. CGI Transformer skin Cyborg does not approve.

Glad to see the true king of the seas

I was only willing to use a picture from the store page to make a joke.

Why the hell do you people not lurk Gaming Discussion more often?

Finally, official confirmation! Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Ultimate Alliance 2 are making their way to current-gen consoles! Both games will be available individually and as a bundle on Xbox One, PS4, and PC THIS TUESDAY! Expect a review from us soon after that!

I put points into it, but apparently the only thing I can cook up is like one oil with all the stuff I've been gathering. Does using that stuff give you EXP? Honestly, I'm not sure what the best way of gaining EXP besides exploiting monster respawns is and doing that without leveling so you don't decrease the monster exp gain while doing that.

Plus, I'm not sure what to put points in besides Agni and the Knockdown spell + the Witcher Sword skills. D:

Looks interesting. Always mix this series up with X-Men Legends. Hoping those games come as well someday.

 

[zkylon]

i'll have to say

MUA remasters are $40 each or a $60 bundle.

 

[BoosterDuck]

the problem is behind them we have the Red Ranger, a T-800 and sir lancelot (forgive me jshackles)

 

[Lashley]

the price

$39.99 each or as a bundle together for $59.99.

I enjoyed these when they came out, but $40 for one, or $60 for both is a crazy price in 2016.

Honestly, I'm not sure what the best way of gaining EXP besides exploiting monster respawns is and doing that without leveling so you don't decrease the monster exp gain while doing that.

There are potions and oils. The idea is that you need to use them to actually be maximally effective. More important even than leveling up, IMO. Oils can do extra damage against certain enemies (humans, etc,) and potions can boost certain powers but induce toxicity so you can only use a limited amount. You don't need alchemy points only the formulae which you can buy. So the problem should really only be how you get them. The game also lets you experiment, right? So if you are really in a bind you could just gather the necessary ingredients and look up the combinations.

I vaguely remember the game having a good manual, like the used to way back when. Maybe that would be a good starting point? It's like five years last I played this ^^
