I always thought these EDF games were kind of shitty, although I have never played them. Am I missing out on something good?

MUDDAFUKAAAAA!

Those fucking Japanese never bother to Englicialize their games! Now we have to wait for fan translation?

What? Steam pages says it has an English localization.

SHIT FUCING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I only played the PS2 title. Even with the gut-wrenching slowdown, I enjoyed the everliving FUCK out of it. The sheer scale- destruction - carnage!

And now you put in giant fucking robots (Which Sandlot does WELL- see Robot Alchemic Drive), Powered Armor, PILE BUNKERS, and 60FPS!

I absolutely can not WAIT


And laclongquan, this game is already localized.

Closest comparison I can make is - take Serious Sam, make it 3rd person, exchange levels for HUGE city-scapes where every single building is demolishable , and exchange headless kamikaze for HORDES of insectoids, robots, and other assorted huge aliens.
And when I say hordes, I do mean HORDES - think the Starship Troopers movie kind of hordes.

 

[laclongquan]

The video, despite English voiceover, got Japanese characters in game. So I dont know if they can release English version~

 

[Jack Dandy]

Don't worry! This will be in full English. The Japs are just a bit lazy with some of their videos.

Anyway, this series really does encompass "VIDEO GAME". I mean, like.. It's the kind of "generic" game you'd see in some shitty sitcom where people bash their controllers and sounds come outta the screen.

But ... it WORKS. It works, beautifully.

 

[tormund]

Eh, I'm not sure if I understand the exact appeal of these. They always looked like third person Serious Sam (hordes of random enemies on open maps, giant bosses...) with jetpacks to me. They are also supposed to be p boring if they are not played in co op, right?

 

[Jack Dandy]

They're plenty of fun in single player, imo. Never played it in MP.
Just like Serious Sam!

 

[The Decline]

Yes, no more slowdown.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Thankfully, I didn't buy it for the PS4 considering the ludicrously high price, even though I wanted to.

:mrpresident:

 

[Moink]

Those recommend specs though, bad port incoming.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i only played insect armageddon and i found it awesome in its sheer ignorance, but this... feels just too "japanese".

 

[Jack Dandy]

Do not go there, friend. Oh oh ohOHHHH, but this is vexing. Your opinion is completely and utterly blashphemous, I can hardly begin to explain..

Geez. Geez, christ. Listen - Insect Armageddon is a shoddy, watered-down title made by western developers. This kind of game is SUPPOSED to be made by Japanese. They are the only ones who can take "ridiculous" and make it work.
If you liked IA, then 4.1 will melt your brain.

 

[laclongquan]

"Ridiculous" is a Japanese middle name, which is why so many "serious" players got so irritated with Japanese games. They feel like the games are making fun of them, and indeed it's making fun of them.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Ridiculous. If you have that fucked up a brain that you believe developers are trying to make fun of you, then you need to get yourself checked out.

Realistic western shit is boring & drab. It's the last kind of thing needed for this sort of thing.

Well, it is a Japanese game.

I'd probably hold out for a GOG release, XSEED seems to have a good relationship with them. EDF was always a blast so I'm glad we get to see the regular series on the PC as well. I'd be up for a few rounds with my Codex bros if y'all are up to it. Oof, hope I can run it.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

Played on console awhile ago. Was fun as hell, want more. Good thing this comes out, will wait for port report tho

I really have no idea where you're getting this from. Even around here you have a bunch of "serious" players that love their Jap games, and you comment about japanese games making fun of games and gamers make me think of some pretentious hipster that is trying to justify (both to himself and to his like) his liking of some nippon games by pretending that they are intentionally tongue in cheek, meta, commentaries/critiques of gamers or gameplay conventions...

Well, it is a Japanese game.

dark souls is a japanese game too, and it doesn't need to be retarded.

 

[Bahamut]

Kinda was excited for this but then I saw that they want 50$ for this,

Not every game needs to be Dark Souls (which seems to be brought up every time Japan is even mentioned on the Codex), or grim dark for that matter. Light-hearted b movie setting fits the series just fine. Much more tolerable than the bland Insect Armageddon.

Unlike the PS4, there's always sales. Though games like these take a while to get cheap.
