*My channel needs your support on Patreon and if just a fraction of you gave $1, it would help immensely❗* This is a hard game to prove its worth without having your hands on the controller yourself.

Being on top of a building, and firing a plasma cannon at a mech and doing so for serval minutes adjusting aim to throw off his aim was fantastic, the buildings around me crumbled as he barely missed and his aim was thrown off by my plasma canon, the buildings behind him crumble form the shockwaves of the plasma canon hitting him and my missed shots, my being forced back as he would destroy my building cover... The entire game is just, rewarding Nevermind the fact there was 7 other of those fuckers around the map and I was dealing with just 1 of them

To me I instantly clicked with the tone of the game. There's something inherently compelling about B-movie gun-ho soldier archetypes eagerly throwing themselves into the meat grinder and getting slaughtered en mass. It has somewhat of a similar thing going for it in that regard that the film Starship Troopers did. The thing is EDF has this "thing" going for it too where as things get more desperate and the humans get beat more and more despite your efforts it sort of takes a bit of a darker tone while still keeping the cheesiness and corniness intact.

That speech about eyes was some Churchill level shit. I could imagine the Big C saying that before the D-day.

I did exactly the same in 2018-19 and we finished 2017,4.1,5, IA and IR all in split screen. The 5 is incredible and peak of the series. I just returned to it now in 2022 and it's so good. Runs 4k60 flawless on pc too. Mouse controls are great. It's 60fps on ps5 too

Oh hey the Bike is actually functional this time around!

I've been a fan of this series since 2013, and there are two things I've noticed in this game that VASTLY improve my enjoyment of it. First one is Wing Diver being given a dodge roll action. This is INSANELY useful and was sorely missing from previous iterations. Second one is a QOL improvement, and that's the sprint function. Being able to travel across the map really fast while also being able to pick up crates within a larger radius alleviates a lot of the issues we had about the previous games, where we had to tediously combat roll around just to pick up all the crates. Now you can travel around the map super fast and you can pick up more crates at once. My only gripe with the game are the first two or three missions which are basically just a tutorial and should've been optional.

Tbh I would pay top dollars just to have the old edf anthem back.

The first time you and some randos sing the entire song together is truly magical. And so is the second. The third *notthefourthnotthefourth* and fifth time as well.

You missed so many armor and weapon boxes! I just joined the EDF crew myself. How did I miss such a fun game before??

In EDF 4.1 there is a wing diver weapon with 15 shots named the Custom lancer and is the upgraded version of the normal lancer. The weird thing about it is disgustingly OP. It can take the robots out in 4 to 5 shots while it takes out the ants and arachnids out in 1 shot. The thing can also do real absurd damage against the motherships that drop the ants. The problem with the wing diver back in EDF 4.1 is that the energy management is a little insane. And that was my go to weapon.

I play EDF 5 on PC in 5k and honestly its one of the best looking games I own, yeah the graffics are a little dated but you see every shell caseing, everything is destroyable, when you shoot enemies pieces of them come off, this game pays ALOT of atention to detail and is more realistic and has more destructive environments then even the newest battlefield games.
