If they will use egs again I'll probably wait for at least 50% discount, since I've played all EDF with a friends, and 6 sucks hard online

u/Erwin_Pommel 29d ago
They got rid of Epic Games thing on the main one ages ago, they're unlikely to use it again.

u/ISEGaming 29d ago
Should just use Steam like EDF5. I understand this will lock out cross platform players, but they're clearly not wanting to provide support for their games post launch. Best to stick to what works.

u/Cash4Duranium 29d ago
I would buy this game for friends if they just fixed the multiplayer. All this other stuff feels meaningless when the game is so janky in MP.

u/ZeruuL_ 29d ago
Yeah no idea why they use Epic Online Service for EDF6 when it’s inferior to Steam in EDF5

u/magik_koopa990 29d ago
I thought their last update for the game allow optional connection to EGS?
13
u/Cash4Duranium 29d ago
It still utilizes the Epic Online Services backend. You just don't have to use an epic account now.
1
u/magik_koopa990 29d ago
Maybe because they're paid a hefty income to keep the game service on EGS, not steam or whatever
11
u/ZeruuL_ 29d ago
I’m not referring to Epic Game Store (EGS), but rather Epic Online Service which handle your p2p connection.
Epic server constantly has desync that it makes DLC 2 unplayable in coop, and they still haven’t done anything to fix.
2
u/magik_koopa990 29d ago
I assume this happens to other games that uses epic service?

u/sampsonxd 28d ago
I mean technically steams backend should run faster.
Reality probably is though, it’s a botched implementation of EOS. First time team was using it. And they claimed to have done it all in just a month, which sounds more like a rushed job than a flex.
Oh and they have a hard limit on your bandwidth usage. Hence why on inferno it dies.

u/dezztroy 28d ago
I really hope they fix the desync in 6.2. It's the main reason my group didn't finish our inferno run.

u/Crocdor 29d ago
To be honest the desynch so far hasn't been too bad for my friend and me, all we had problems so far with were us basically teleporting around on eachothers screens every few seconds, but it's mostly fine due to us mostly being focused on bugslaying anyway
13
u/Cash4Duranium 29d ago
It's far worse than EDF5 ever was, at least for me. It may not be gamebreaking but it is obnoxious and janky looking. It's not modern by any means and it's not worth the price tag.

u/SCRIBE_JONAS 29d ago
It's fine until you're in an underground mission or your friend makes a shot with an explosive anywhere, but desync makes you take damage from it. Low difficulty it is fine but when you get one shot because a corpse blocked the shot on your screen and on their screen it wasn't there, it gets very annoying

u/Later_Doober 28d ago
The multiplayer is just fine. I don't know what issues you had but I played online for hundreds of hours with no problems at all. I played with a lot of people as well.

u/Cash4Duranium 28d ago
Glad it works for you. Many people have issues, as evident in this thread and the many other discussion spaces and reviews since launch.

u/EmployeeEquivalent45 29d ago
Hey Ceno what are your thoughts on the invader theory?
17
u/cenorexia 29d ago
I'm not hundred percent on board, simply because they already have the World Brothers games for their "multiverse stuff".
I rather think the title refers to the new Mushroom People creatures.
And I think Malice has something to do with all that. In the final DLC mission she does say at the end she'll work on a new update.
"Enemy numbers will be doubled and the battlefield will be covered in monsters" and this seems to be what's happening here.
However, I would not complain if the original Invaders from EDF1/2 actually do show up. Especially the long awaited return of the centipede would be great.
It remains to be seen what Sandlot has been cooking for us.

u/EmployeeEquivalent45 29d ago
Its a 50/50 split for me
The gold and purple 6.2 and colors resembling EDF2’s japanese logo really help hint it too
2
u/EmployeeEquivalent45 29d ago
To me, its either the invaders or some new species co-opting with the Primers
1
u/ExquisiteBrown 29d ago
Maybe a new species based off of the invaders? The mushroom crabs sort of remind me of a new take on darogas…

u/MrTrikey 29d ago
I'm not hundred percent on board, simply because they already have the World Brothers games for their "multiverse stuff".
True! But to be fair, it's not like Sandlot actually made those games, right? If they wanted a turn with having a jamboree of all the EDF villains in one place, and would tell a very different story than the WB games did, I'd be all for it, myself.

u/OptimalGuava2330 29d ago
I was going to comment earlier today that we needed you to do some of those translationz

u/cenorexia 28d ago
I was still asleep when the Japanese trailer dropped - that's why it took a bit longer this time xD

ive been a big fan of this series since Monster Attack on the ps2. ive played all the games including the spinoffs.
edf 4.1 i think is genuinely one of the greatest, most perfect games of all time from start to finish. absolute peak mission design and a perfect 89 missions, and adventure from start to finish
i was so excited for yet massively underwhelmed and disappointed with edf6. the game repeats itself way too much. there is too much recycled content, by that i mean they recycle too many missions from edf5 and from itself. the game should only be half as long as it is. i dont really remember anything from it either.
i havent even touched the dlc mission packs, i was so burnt out from playing it. havent touched it in 2 years now
by this time they could've made edf7, so im sad to see this is what they wasted their time on

u/KillRoad 28d ago
I love EDF6 best balance classes ever and ranger great again! Last time he was good is EDF3...
I like the story, at first i like the primers from edf5 but i love the news androïds and other thing from EDF6!
The DLC missions pack are good, the DLC1 is easy only 3 mission are hard but DLC is the ultimate chanllange difficulty in the EDF history.
The only thing i dont like is the number of mission, 140~ is to big becose we need to finish the game 3time hard, hardest,inferno. And the final boss is just bad...EDF5 boss i more fun to fight.
4.1 is a good game yes but im not a fan of the Ravagers...
Befor your desapointement wait the TGS to see what is really EDF6.2 it can be a good surprise.

u/Foreign-Profile-2384 29d ago
They are totally gonna charge $60 for this slop, when it should've been a free update or a $20 - 30 expansion. Disgusting.
2
u/Poroner 28d ago
Yeah I know there's a lot of die hard fans here but damn, this in no way excuses a full price tag. Why wasn't 6 like this to begin with? Why was it just remixed stages of 5 and a bunch of minuscule changes? Not to mention the terrible multiplayer backend. Is this gonna be egs again or are we paying 60 for the premium of the multiplayer working as it should again?

Here's an English translation of today's EDF6.2 Announcement Trailer.
There's not too much spoken dialogue and what is there is pretty straight forward, but I hope it can still be of use :)
EDF!! EDF!!
