EDF5 was very fun, but it was EDF6 that made me experience the true feeling of kino

I got burned out on 6. It felt way too repetitive, which is a dumb complaint about a timeloop game. It didn't help that WB2 came out so close to it, either.

I'm curious about it but don't know if I can go back. EDF6 introduced some nice qol stuff like the extra slots and better sprint and I'd miss it for sure. But hey if you say the mission design is good I might give it a go.

I mean that's just lying, collecting weapon and armour crates and going through the weapon upgrade gatcha system is pretty integral to the game progression.
Also holy shit it's very hard to recommend edf5 (or edf in general) to people when d3 consistently refuse to drop the price below AAA release launch price despite the B-movie production values.

4.1 or 5. 5 is a reboot, so you don't have to play 4.1 to understand it, but 6 is a direct sequel to 5 and benefits greatly from having it fresh in your mind. I suggest you play 5 followed by 6, then give yourself a break to avoid burnout (the games are very samey), then go back to 4.1.

There's this mission with the black fencers you can play on easy, parking the biggest tank you've got under a dropship that only releases regular ants.

I love EDF too anon but about half of this is bullshit but it's not everyday I see an EDF thread so I'll bite. EDF isn't fun because it has "less"; it's fun because it's a 3D arcadey shmup and one of the few games that keeps co-op and split screen alive in some way today when most games have left these things behind for online VS. It has the same arcadey and cartoonish spirit of old-school shmups like Contra, just killing everything on screen with cool weapons.
I do wish EDF was more popular. It's one of the few reasons I don't hate owning a PS but I've gotten tired of paying for PS Online, which I let expire recently. I hope EDF ports more to Switch going forward, maybe then it will actually become more popular and I can still own it physically.

Probably playing EDF5 in EDF6. 5's levels are very tutorial-esque where EDF6 assumes you know all the mechanics (apart from drones for some reason) yet at the same time EDF6 added a huge bunch of QOL features.

If you want the best weapons in the game that allows you to clown on the base game then go for it.
They're really difficult though so you either have to get lucky with online lobbies or be really good yourself.

Yes but it's much cheaper and PS Online prices increased lately. And I don't play enough online PS to justify the cost.
>the EDF games are Japan only currently
For modern EDF they release in Japan first (which I usually import) but they usually come to the west eventually, years later. EDF4-6 I imported and played much earlier than the NA release.
On the Switch there are less EDF ports and those tend to be the older ones and Japan-only. I don't think any of the modern ones are on Switch, maybe because the Switch 1 was too weak for them.

DLC1 has a reasonable degree of difficulty imo, it's harder than base game but it can be beaten if you know what you're doing.

DLC2 is overkill kaizo autism difficult. I've beaten most of it on inferno but it required a combination of playing with good players, luck, and very specific gimmick loadouts

I can't believe how long the translation took to come out. 6 in Japanese was easily the most kino gaming experience I've ever had though, I played 5 to death and was going in completely blind with 6 and it frequently did things I absolutely did not expect while using 5 as a basis for everything in perfect ways. I think it does suffer in replays from its structure, but that first playthrough is worth the sacrifice.

The QoL changes are okay but it comes at the detriment of everything else, missions and pacing of missions is demonstrably worse despite mostly being copy pastes, there's tons more dead time waiting for arguably worse dialogue to finish in order to proceed with missions, the refinery is such a horrendous map it gives me PTSD, and personally I just don't like ayys and frogs as enemies compared to the Ravagers.

In fact, the only two good QoL changes to me is removing roll spam from Ranger by introducing sprint and making Fencer's arsenal a bit more useable, I literally never had issues free-handing and landing banging airstrikes on Air Raider, it in-fact tickles my brain more to do it like that.

Get ready for a real difficulty spike, especially in DLC2. You're going to beat your head on a few missions before you'll be able to beat them, especially on Inferno. Also be ready to grind for weapons, since they don't have a lot of good drop rates. If you think you're patient enough, then go for it. If you play online, you may get a few clues on how to beat it, but otherwise it's going to be more of a puzzle game than a proper honest shootout.

I really hope that Sandlot tones back on making epic setpieces, or at least learns how to better integrate the exposition into the gameplay. Some of their attempts to innovate in EDF 6 felt like they were copying the superficial design philosophy of stuff like Gears of War-and strayed from what made the older games great. I think that there's a healthy medium between having a solid arcade shooter and a cinematic toy box. I hope the next game doesn't just copy helldivers as their next base.

Also, I think they should return to focusing on having larger softer groups of mixed enemies. The beefier androids are just not as fun or demanding to play against as the tetrad of spiders, black/red ants, and bees. The very late game and DLC show how the new enemies can really complement each other, but it was disappointing that you mostly fought one or two enemy types at a time in the base game. You really shouldn't have to pay for DLC to get the trademark puzzle-esque EDF missions.
