    I just found out that EDF 2017 was on the Xbox One and bought it. Me and my buddy spent soo many hours playing this back on the 360. When we hit a wall we'd go back to lower levels and farm armor and weapons while taking out higher difficulties of the lower levels.

    My biggest issues with Iron Rain is that because of the swap to UE4 along with a bigger emphasis on graphics the enemy count is drastically lower than other entries so to compensate for the difficulty they had to beef their HP up making most weapons early in the game horribly unsatisfying to use. Along with that there's a lot of cases where they tried to fix what isn't broken like the weapon system which ironically became even more of a grind than past games. That being said prowl rider is probably one of the most fun classes and I really wish they'd put it in the mainline entries someday.

    In answer to your question it took me around 400 hours to platinum EDF 4.1 and well over 500 for EDF 5. Until you've gotten the Wingdiver up to 50,000 health you don't know the meaning of the word grinding. Putting 50 hours in on EDF 5 is like simply pressing the start button for the first time. The DLC missions on Inferno are beyond crazy. Grinding out the beach level with the mechs and sliver spiders is the stuff of nightmares. But they will drop the most powerful weapons in the game. The strategies we came up with for that level really took the cake.
    Having played every EDF that was in English I have to say I thought Insect Armageddon wasn't that bad. Not as good as 5 of course . But far better than the first two EDF games on the Vita for sure. It was fun enough to get all the trophies.I love the leveling up system far better than picking up boxes. I like how the flying character can actually stay up in the air for more than 3 seconds and how you can increase the energy meter. Most importantly vehicles are actually useful. In EDF games they are an utter joke. Like they are made of tissue paper. The Mechs in EDF 5 were ok but even those are kind of garbage. In IA the tanks are amazing and in co op strafing with the tank is actually good. I think they should have been given a second chance to do another game.
    World Brothers is fun but collecting all weapons is a nightmare. I'm looking forward to EDF 6 probably next year for us since they never release one of the games here until the DLC is finished.

    EDF:2017 on the Xbox 360 was my introduction to the series, and it hooked me to the point that I completed it solo on Inferno. My favorite is actually the Portable version on Vita, which adds the Wing Diver for a second playable class. The graphics take a hit to be playable on that mobile system, but it looks good enough, and played very well on the PSTV with a DualShock 4.
    Insect Armageddon has one thing going for it. The pesticide rifle for the "Jet Armor" in that game is stupidly fun to use. This endgame weapon could actually be fired twice in a row, followed by a full energy bar refill. All the other EDF games are more polished and entertaining, on the whole, and IA doesn't even finish telling its story. But using the pestiicide rifle to clear out the invaders actually represents a high point in the series, for me.
    And World Brothers, too, has a neat concept I'd like to see in core EDF titles. Going into battle with AI squadmates, whose characters with different class loadouts the player can switch to on the fly. Sprinting, or in older titles, rolling over to a squad of Troopers or Wing Divers for backup has long been a mechanic in this series. But it doesn't do anything to address the gaps that design choices made for the sake of a (often separate) co-op campaign leave in the single-player experience.

Suck especially considering 2017 had success on Xbox and kind of brought the series to North America.

    What a great video! Been a fan of EDF ever since I got EDF 2017 on my xbox 360 and fun fact, it was the first game that made my console RROD!
    The only thing I would change is to put wingdiver at the bottom and insect armageddon above it. I was so happy to see you put iron rain above IA. I dont get why Iron rain is reviewed more negative then IA which is at 80% positive on steam or something lol. Other then that, 100% agreed with everything, im excited for EDF 6 and World brothers 2. The first time a spinoff gets a sequel, lol.

  • @Manic_Panic
    @Manic_Panic ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For me, I would rank them like this:
    1. EDF 5 - the best game of the series you can get right now with a crapton of content and improved gameplay mechanics
    2. EDF 4.1 - enhanced port of the already golden EDF 2025 that makes it an even better experience
    3. EDF 2017 Portable (PS Vita) - for those who want a solid EDF experience on a portable, enhanced port of the 360 release
    4. EDF 2025 (PS3/360 version of 4.1) - when the series started to peak
    5. EDF: World Brothers - it's a solid mid game
    6. EDF Insect Armaggedon - it's ok but it's not a traditional edf game when it comes to fun
    7. EDF 2017 (Xbox 360) - it's very barebones, the Vita port fixed almost every issue I had with it
    8. Global Defense Force/EDF 2 - mechanically outdated
    9. EDF 4.1 Wing Diver - mediocre spin off
    10. EDF Iron Rain - just bad
    11. Simple 2000 Vol. 31: The Earth Defense Force - first game in the series, severely outdated budget game
    12. EDF Tactics - crap, not even worth mentioning European spin off exclusive

    @Nyghtking 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've played 5 and gave 4.1 a try, didn't like 4.1 as much and stopped playing after a bit, tried world brothers, and to be honest, and this could be just me, but the mexican character kind of felt racist, his ability was to throw out a bottle of tequila as a molotov and after a mission he mentioned waking him up when the next one happened.
    I liked 5 but still had some annoyances with it, things that probably would have been resolved if I was playing multiplayer, but I played through the game single player.
    It annoyed me how when you get grapple enemies like the red and green ants you can't attack for a second,
    it annoyed me that the pill bug's attack was to knock you down over and over,
    the frog artillery annoyed me because the projectile knocks you down,
    the alien heavy flamethrower troopers annoyed me because they would make it so I couldn't see anything when they attacked,
    the alien walker robots were slightly annoying because they kept ducking behind buildings so I couldn't shoot them,
    I found it annoying that the bodies of enemies were solid objects for a couple seconds so they would eat any attacks I tried to launch and also that the bodies would pile up so much that I couldn't tell living enemies apart from corpses,
    and the wing divers outfit was a bit annoying because they're suppose to be a special forces unit and are fighting enemies using plasma, lasors, and acid but their armor provides no real protection from anything realistically.
    Still beat the game, still think about playing through the missions as a different class.
    Preferred class is wing diver due to speed.
    What I liked about the game, and the reason I didn't like 4.1 that much:
    Picking up armor gives the majority of the armor to the character that picked it up,
    armor wasn't scaling dependent and instead based on how many armor crates you picked up,
    picking up armor gave armor to the other classes you could play,
    picking up weapons crates divided them among the classes so every class got some weapons when you played a mission,
    if you got multiple of the same weapon it would level that weapon up.

      Complaining about a girl character's armour being too little. It's a fantasy game. Also the ranger and air raider have terrible armour too. What are you a Mary Sue writer? "I need my girl characters covered head to toe in berka. Fight the patriarchy." 😂😂😂

    I really liked Insect Armageddon. It was missing the campiness and I don’t think the gameplay was quite there but it was the first time I experienced a choice of different classes and it had online co-op.
    Im sure it hasn’t aged as well but I’d definitely put it above the Wing Diver 4.1 game. I find it crazy how he puts both of them next to each other on the list given like he said the Wing Diver Game takes 45 minutes to beat and didn’t have much replay ability where Insect Armageddon while it’s not the best when compared to the Wing Diver game it has much more replay ability, online co op, and the same asking price at launch (at this point Insect Armageddon is half the price)

    Started from Monster Attack (EDF1) and have now played them all, spinoffs included. In 2 months. I'd say that EDF2 is my favorite one (Floating City reveal went so hard), but 5 is definitely my favorite *to play*.
    Haven't been playing the series for a long time, but it's become one of my favorites very quickly. Already poured 170 hours into 5, all i've got left is Inferno on all classes. I can already imagine that 6 will go very similarily

      was a nightmare trying to get Thunder Sniper 40 just to grind higher levels (Den of thieves), but i found a pretty fast strategy. Play wing diver (obviously) and make both weapons the Idunn E Custom 2 (I think, it's the lvl 57 one), play Charge Phase 2, and then rush foward into the tunnel on the right. Like, just fly while firing until you get into a single tunnel. From there, hold out and keep a close eye on both ends of the tunnel, and eventually there'll only be a few enemies left. This mission won't drop many weapons, but it CAN drop the Thunder Sniper 40 on Inferno. This is for 2025 though.
