You no longer need to link an Epic Games account to play Earth Defense Force 6 online, as an EDF 6 update removes the restriction on Steam. (www.pcgamesn.com)

I am guessing data is coming back this stupid shit is not resonating with the PC gamers finally after decade of shoving that shit into everybody's ass.

So tiring of having this shit endlessly tested to see what we will accept.

EDF World Brothers 2 (which is a spin off of the main EDF series) just came out and has fully optional Epic games integration. It doesn't even download the Epic account software unless you opt into using it.

I'm glad to see they've gone back and changed the previously released game to make it optional too.

EDF was never meant to be visually good, as part of its charm is spamming the shit of weird ass bugs and aliens for you to attack, and be able to run on low spec hardware.

basically to them, quantity/variety > quality of enemies

Yes, actually, it is part of the charm. The series started back on the PS2 and still kinda looks like that. Instead, they get to use fancy bright lighting for the weapons and lasers, and hundreds of enemies on screen at the same time, with each of them blowing up into hundreds of tiny pieces. It's a very bonkers game, just focused on being a fun horde destroying experience. And it's themed as classic monster B-movies with alien invasions and legally distinct Godzillas.

The camp is a large part of the appeal. Think Japanese sci-fi B-movie that never takes itself too seriously. If you can appreciate bargain bin monster movies, you'll probably dig the goofiness of EDF.

Gamplay-wise, it does get a bit repetitive, but the more recent titles have improved on that somewhat by allowing for more organic progression without having to do quite so much grinding for armor and weapons.

Look at EDF Iron Rain

Higher visuals = less enemies on screen due to performance restrictions

People hated it

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

The gameplay of the EDF games is pretty fun honestly, it does feel different from many modern games, but it's honestly kinda refreshing.

Oh good!

Waiting for the EGS version to be available outside Japan

No real point in playing if Steam users want to break crossplay, who knows what they will want to break next
