Earth Defense Force 5!!!

I understand I’ve made a lot of threads on here lately but I just got this game yesterday and have to talk about it.

Of course right now it’s only just come out in Japan but you can import from play-asai which I usually do or you can buy digital psn points from there and with a japanese PSN account you can download it which I did cuz I was impatient and might be moving soon so I didn’t want to deal with changing addresses in shippin n stuff. In any case so far it is a great game.

That said so far only 8 missions in I’m uncertain whether to call it an improvement over the last one. I understand it’s a sort of B movie theme but well, the thing is a lot of the assets are similar to the ones in 4.1, which was basically almost a port of 2025. So a lot of it feels kind of old. but then some of the new stuff is pretty cool. It’s difficult to say because a lot of stuff isn’t in english so I can’t tell what everything is unfortunately.

All that said I feel kind of devoted to the series. Just fun without any nonsense a lot of games have today. Feel very nostalgic about 2017. Insect Armageddon didn’t have the same charm but it wasn’t bad. D3 did a facebook giveaway for 2025 which I was one of two winners of, which I was very greatful because at the time I didn’t have a job, so I kinda feel like I owe them even though I bought both japanese and english versions of 4.1.

Is anybody else crazy like me or will you wait for an english release? I could import Yakuza Kiwami 2 right now but I wouldn’t understand a word of it so I’m unsure, I like being able to play Yakuza 6 early but I got stuck and can’t seem to continue due to language barrier. I also did it with Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash and am not even interested in buying it now so eh. i might rethink importing more in the future. I did get the japanese version of EDF2 though, cuz the only english version of that is on the Vita which I have no intention of getting at all.

Gaming threads are always good to add, it’s a minefield out there so any recommendations are appreciated. I started gaming again thanks to the boys here recommending GTA5.

Is this on PS4? I might have to look into it.

I’ve been a big fan of Japanese style games, mainly RPGs. I tried learning the language for a bit because of this, but I only know enough to figure out most menus…

I dabble in imported stuff occasionally. I last imported the Asian version of Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 from PlayAsia. The PSVR support is amazing! – maybe the only true safe way to perve on beautiful women these days…

Yep, PS4 exclusive! It’s not quite an RPG, more just a simple shooter, but there is grinding if you want everything.

Kinda gives that b movie vibe in the trailer.

So far the language isn’t a huge concern, at least as far as functionality goes.

Funny thing, I accidentally got the Japanese version of DOAX3 first and for a long time I considered whether it was worth it to waste more money on the Asian one. Eventually I did and got the Platinum for it.

Wanted to try out the VR, but PSVR seemed really expensive for just one game. They did announce a free Last Guardian themed VR game the other day so maybe that will push me to get it. Even so I’m trying to save for a Switch for No More Heroes and now Bayonetta 3. Tough choice, may just have to wait for tax returns to decide.
