Earth Defense Force 2017 - Gen. Discussion & Info

I use the best scorpion one (rocket launcher) and a missile launcher that shoots like 10 rockets that are all homing.
 
[quote name='CheapyD']So what are everybody's weapons of choice?

I'm using a Rocket Launcher / Grenade Launcher combo.[/QUOTE]

Rocket Launcher/Shotgun combo for me.

I think they are the second edition of both of them.

[quote name='gunm']Are you guys serious, or is this just a bad game everyone wants to share misery about?

The hype in the last two pages is making me want to try this game now....[/QUOTE]

I'm being serious. I really do love this game.

You can play it in short bursts or for a few hours, the amount of enemies/explosions on screen is staggering, and it will take forever to get all 150+ weapons.

As long as you don't come in expecting a story or good voice work, you will get addicted after put an hour or two into it.

Like I said earlier, it's like a b-movie. Low on budget and high on entertainment.
 
Maybe I'll grab this anyways. I'm not supposed to be buying shit but I dont want to miss out this. And I'll always have someone to co-op with (my thirteen year old sister) as lame as that makes lol
 
This didn't get released in the US did it?
[quote name='Sinistar']This game is great - definately worth the $40. I bought it when it came out, but IMO, I think EDF2 for PS2 has better gameplay and more variety.. (Why they at least didn't include the jetpack girl in the 360 version is beyond me.)[/QUOTE]

I love the 45 shot machine gun with the 10 shot tracking rocket launcher!
 
I just started playing it on normal. It is fun. I am like 5 or so missions deep and like it a lot. Not without faults, but mindless shooting fun.
 
It feels like classic sega or namco arcade-style. My wife and I have been playing co-op off and on since last night. We're at level 42'ish now.


This game would have been such a great multiplayer online game. It seems almost like that was the intention, withte h way the NPC's behave and the icons above them when they talk. DLC/Patch in the future? I hope. :D

I agree wholeheartedly, if there were an online component I'd be up until the wee hours of the morning with you sp00ge knocking out the harder difficulties. Now that I've crushed down the 1000 points in FNR3, I'm going to get back into EDF.

However, without a buddy willing to plunk down some solid time, the harder difficulties (and achievements) will be out of my particular league--unless I farm overpowered insane ranked weapons.
 
Rented it and will definitely buy it later. So far i've been using an assault rifle and the grenade launcher that lets you fire 12 grenades really fast that explode on impact.
 
finished normal with the g/f this weekend, those last missions are crazy. We're gonna work on hard now.
 
[quote name='sp00ge']I'm going to hold off on buying until, hopefully, they have an online multiplayer patch/update/DLC.[/QUOTE]

That will sadly never happen.

This is a budget title.
 
I just got this yesterday (FREE! Thanks yourfree360games!) and it's REALLY fun! Have been playing Co-Op the entire time...we are only on mission 9..but we've done the easy & normal of each mission. We're gonna try and do as many of each mission as possible so we don't have to play this game like a million times..lol

We tried battle mode.. that was REALLY fun. 2 people in a big city..blowin up buildings lookin for each other..and then the vehicles are pretty cool too. This def would of been a great 4-6 player online deathmatch option. Oh well, there's always hopes of sequels with this.
 
[quote name='Scorch']I'm up to like level 25.. i'm now convinced that this is one of, if not the funnest game on the 360 right now.[/QUOTE]

Couldn't agree more!!
 
I was going to go through and get the other Achievements, but this game is too stagnant, repetitive and boring. And low quality.

Traded it in.

I would have bought it from you. :cry:

I wouldn't want to do that to you.
 
I rented because of all the hype and this game is way overrated. I got to level 5 and its just redundant. Didnt' see anything special. Maybe I didn't give it enough time but after level 5 I was really really bored.

See I have someone I play with. I am around mission 33 and done them all on easy & normal up until 33..but the entire time has been co-op. I can see this game being boring by yourself though.

haha

yeah, maybe it's for the best then. I haven't played it at all. I am just kind of intrigued by the hype and the look it has. But not enough to pay full price. ;)

I was playing co-op. Me and my little sis, didn't see the big deal. We turned it off after level 5. Its back in the mail on its way to Gamesn'flix.com
 
This pisses me off.. me and a friend who WAS signed into his account played through all the missions on easy with me and I got the achievement..and he didn't..WTF?
 
This game is pretty cool but would have been 10x better if the devs focused more on challenging gameplay that didn't involve "powering up" for the harder difficulties.
 
[quote name='shaunLEGEND']all I gotta say is E....D....F.......E....D.....F.

I know some of you want to chant, after reading that lol.[/quote]

E.D.F! E.D.F! .. this game is amazing..

honestly, this is the first 360 game i've played through that actually makes me want to own a 360. (sorry, i'm not bashing the 360 or anything, but, personally, i'm really not interested in nearly all the games..)

This is actually a remake of the ps2 game.. i seriously hope they remake the sequel on the 360 .. or the ps3.
 
[quote name='lilboo']This pisses me off.. me and a friend who WAS signed into his account played through all the missions on easy with me and I got the achievement..and he didn't..WTF?[/quote]

I think the achievements are based on off who's account the savegame is based off of, but I'm not 100% sure.

for an offline only co-op, that is pretty lame.
 
Hm I wonder if there's a way to just save your game under your account then load it under his account.. then he might get the achievements, would that work? I can't test it as I only have one XBL account on my system.
 
Pretty fun. Up to mission 17 or something around there.

The repetitive all creatures of one type city missions are boring (i.e. ants in city, move to next area, ants, move, ants).

But I've started to see some variety like some beach missions (those are awesome), the hectors which are huge, cool, make massive explosions, etc. The big circle UFO that drops that 4 legger. Etc. And actually the ant fest in the underground caves was a nice change of pace too.

Nice variety of weapons. As long as I keep seeing more environment variety I'm digging it.
 
Beat it on normal.

I don't think we've ever seen a game that has this kind of scale to it. Its like war of the worlds out there with massive robots / ships / whatever flying around, tons of them at once. At its best moments this game is incredible, and worth churning through the many repetitive parts to get to.
 
Just rented this. If this thing isn't Dreamcast nastalgia then I don't know what is. Not sure if it's the style or just the wacky strafe animation. I'm enjoying it so far though.
 
I just got this game today from a trade on here. I think I'm up to level 15 right now. I was playing on hard but I couldn't get past a few levels so I dropped it down to normal hoping I could find some stronger weapons. I'll probably finish the game on normal and then go through some of the other difficulties. Fun game :)
 
i just rented this game and found it to be really fun and challenging. although i thought the achievements were kinda lame
 
My friend and I are co-oping this on normal. The split screen sucks, but shooting shit is fun. We have under 20 more levels left.
 
I started playing this again and I'm on level 40-something. This is definitely one of those "not easy-to-get-achievement-points" kind of games. Fun as hell though.
 
We finished Normal, and are going through easy now. I got my 100 nerd points and like them a lot. This game is so simple and dumb, but I can't keep it out of my 360 for too long. One of my favorite games I own on the 360. Hell out of all my games, it is up there. Lots of silly fun shooting giant enemies and destroying cities. I wish they had a shots fired/shots hit ratio tracker and collateral damage tracker. I love just running through and leveling block by block.

theres one rocket or missle launcher that shoots them out horizontally, it just levels everything in a 120degree range. so fun.
im playing back through on hard/hardest after beating normal. little less than half way through.

does anybody know if you have to beat it on every level to get the 100% weapon achievement?
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']just got 1000/1000...man that was long and hard.....hehehehe[/QUOTE]
