    "it should runnning at 60fps all the time"
    Someone hasn't played previous EDF games if they expect consistent frames. If it isn't running at 5 fps then you're just not chanting EDF hard enough.

      Yes, the only time I seen the online feature work without the PS+ is free to play games. Thankfully it's on the PC as well so if you don't want to have to pay a subscription then that would be the way to go. Keep in mind you can do local co-op without subscription so if you want to play with family member it let's you.

Overall I cand believe they are updating this game and I'm glad but too bad I've diverged from Sony and went Xbox one.

      I never had a ps2 or Xbox back then. I was a gameboy advance and type o' guy, now I'm a hardcore gamer. Heck, hardcore gamers didn't exist when I was a kid. The first next gen feeling game I played was the first LEGO Star Wars game on PC. I gotta admit, I was skeptical, 'cause it seemed like a kid's game, but I was pleasantly surprised, then years later got a Wii and played more LEGO games, Medal of Honor, and other games, then in 2009 I got a PC and started more hardcore games. Then, got a 360 in 2012 and a PS4 this year. I love modding on PC, and simple playing and console. I should really get a new PC, a gaming PC from 2009 can run 2013 games, but just at 20fps on low settings. That's my gaming story. I just felt chatty.

    Still the best game ever at least being my first entry into the series. I love the humor, simple combat but complicated ass yet awesome arsenal and the frame rate which actually makes me go holy shit when a huge explosion drops or there's too many bugs yet it's actually normal in the series xD. I don't know how some say there's no strategy and that it's just look and shoot while on higher difficulties depending on your class and if you're playing single player/multiplayer it can be important to stick together because if you're on your own without a reliable arsenal you're pretty much good as dead. As a Ranger you're versatile with an arsenal of mass destruction or support while being able to heal your npc squad under your command if you get med packs which is unique only to the ranger to be able to share med pick ups with npcs (If this translates into multiplayer I've yet to try), as a Fencer you have weapons of mass destruction that can turn the tides of a battle but you're slow and using them can be complicated so you need to plan accordingly for your mission while even using a deflector after side thrusting to cancel the animation and maintain speed although you can combo a side thrust with blade twin spears to maintain mobility (Something I learned just recently actually). Air Raiders may be support that can help a Fencer use their missile launchers of mass destruction or other classes like giving the Wing Divers energy with a Plasma Battery Gun or a generator version you place down to give them energy (This list can go on forever but ya get the idea), however where their real fire power lies is calling in a HUGE variety of artillery support and a lot of vehicles which can span to tanks, APCs, helicopters, bikes, crawlers, even a freaking huge mech from what I've been hearing which I think there's three variants of to my knowledge so that's really awesome. With their artillery they can call for mortar strikes, normal air missiles, bomb runs, and cruise missiles but I think there's much more that's very destructive and more powerful. And the Wing Divers, the Goddesses of the Sky, are a really fun yet interesting class I should try out more but I've played enough to get their gameplay. They have the ability to go wherever they want but with limited fuel however it refuels once you stop moving so it's fair. The weapons are reeeeallly fun to play with, however they all drain a certain amount of energy from your fuel reserves so not only will you have to balance flying mobility but you'll also have to use your ammo wisely be it a one shooter that drains you immediately or a magazine that takes awhile before you need to reload from your reserves. The beauty of this class is though you can be on buildings, over enemies, have faster mobility than a ranger or maybe even a Fencer (Although can't be sure with their dodge cancel ability) so mobility is their definite strength (Although with low armor beware especially on higher difficulties).
    In summary if you don't care for deep story but love action, generic but good and funny done on purpose dialogue (By generic I mean just their voices fit so well for an alien invasion it's not even funny although it is), enjoy something hack and slashy and a little mindless like the Warrior series but you would like some intense giant bugs/robot fighting action that are bigger than you and on higher difficulties it's actually a challenge but it rewards you with really good loot depending on the level you're playing and difficulty, if you like the classes I mentioned with a fondness for over 800 weapons in total (Okay maybe 801 but I didn't lie, I just curved the truth a little lol), annnnd you love to get immersed screaming EDF! or singing the EDF anthem, then I think you'll love it! However the frame rate can tank quite a bit although that's always been part of the series because of HOW MUCH FREAKING enemies there can be on the map to where you may say "How the hell can we survive this and oooh is that a weapon crate?". To me in my opinion it's definitely a must play only if you're into the genre it's about or if ya wanna try something different but fun (Although it isn't for everyone so maybe watching gameplay is a good idea)

      +gameranx my favorite thing about Earth Defense Force 2017 was how the spiders sound like bowling pins for some odd reason. also I would like to say that EDF 2017 on the hardest difficulty was the hardest game I've ever played, Dark Souls has nothing on it. lol

      +matthew ashlin lol. I've played Dark Souls and Scholar of the First Sin all the way to NG+7 and beaten them both. even with many( and I mean MANY) attempts there were three stages in EDF that I could never beat on the top difficulty. I'm not saying that the Souls series is in any way easy...

    I play this split-screen with a friend and we put about 100 hours into this game. About the 1st 20 hours it is just purely fun chaos and destruction. But after that, when you try to beat this game on the hardest difficulties it has to offer... It isn't just simple ol' run an' gun fun. You actually have to have strategies and good weapon selection for nearly every different mission (Right now my favorite weapons for the Wing Diver are the Thunderbow 30, XSX Plasma Launcher, M30 Plasma Launcher, Idunn-E, and a couple of more I can't really think of the name for)
    This game (at least for always having someone to play split-screen with you) is easily worth the $50 if you enjoy both the simple run an' gun beginning difficulties of the game, and the harder difficulties that can really be daunting and insane with how difficult the levels can be, but cooridinating attacks and stratigies with someone else to finally beat that chaotic mission on the hardest difficulty is just worth the experience in itself.
    The weapons are fucking nuts too. Even with 100 hours put into this game, I haven't even tried or even unlocked all the weapons for even 1 out of the 4 classes and some of them still surprise me with how fun and/or powerful and situational they can be.
    This game may run at litterally 15 frames a second when too much is being blown up and destroyed (even on my PS4 pro), but this may be my 12 year old in me talking but I am still blown away with how cool it is to be able to blow up litterally dozens of building with certain weapons in one single shot! Even if the frames drop while it's doing it, it's just so fun and cool to do and look at the destruction you are capable with in this game.
    Overall, easily one of my favorite game of all time (don't think it would be if I wasn't playing it in split-screen most of the time), but if you have someone to play this with, and like either simple fun destruction and annihilation on easy diffictulties, or (later on in the game) trying out many different stratigies and loadouts to finally complete what seem like nearly impossible missions... get this game... and if you enjoy both of these types of gameplay, I bet it will be hard for you not to ove this game. I am still entertained and blown away by the new shit in this game after 100 hours and I haven't even gotten everything for even one single class yet.
    This game is no where NEAR perfect but oh my god I love this game so damn much!

    Loved the 360 version to death. On easier difficulties its just a big ol fun shooting gallery. But crank it up and you will be having to use tactics with other players like kiting mobs or using beacons and laser guides for missiles even complement each others weapons to have sustained damage outputs as well as High power super weapons.

    There is also dragons, giant insects with are size of a town, walker robots,dinomechs,wasps, everything is destructible except bridges, and four classes Air Raider/Wing Diver/Fencer/Ranger, all four classes are good, the best are Wing diver (cannot drive vehicles) & Ranger (can drive vehicles). Fencer class is a little hard to get use to but is extremely powerful but (cannot drive vechicles). Air Raider calls in Vehicles & Air strikes but isn't a good offensive class but more of a support, but the vehicles they call in range from tanks to helicopters to giant mechs.
