EARTH DEFENSE FORCE: INSECT ARMAGEDDON

[Mr Andy Dixon]

Well, at only $39.99 I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge, regardless of bug count.

Just watched the vid you posted in The Bar. The low bug count (at least in that vid) is a bit of a letdown, but like you said, $40 and online co-op should make up for it...

Big man tryin' to talk me out of it in the Bar then he comes here and succumbs himself.

Well after watching this, then looking up the price, I changed my mind. lol

[Char Aznable]

Usedtabe, I find your lack of faith disturbing.



Honestly, if they took the exact same game as EDF 2017 and added online co-op, I'd buy it again for $40.

[BulletTrain]

what is this, I don't even

This so hard.

[Mr Andy Dixon]

I just received the following text message from my local GameStop:

GameStop:Your EDF 2017: Insect Armaged order avail Sat AM. Bring your trades to reduce price. Store#360-577-2665. End txt msgs reply STOP

I've since checked with a buddy who manages a different GameStop, and he confirmed it: the game DOES come out tomorrow morning, not Tuesday as originally advertised.

It's gonna be a good weekend

[usedtabe]

Yeah, I called my gamestop, and of course the dumb girl kept acting like the computer "cut off something on the 2" when she saw it was 7/2/2011, it must be "7/20-something". I just laughed at her and said "no you ignorant twat, that's the right date. See you tomorrow. Nuge."

I love you.

Anyone pick this up? How is it?

[ZombiePlatypus]

I played a few levels tonight with my bro, it's good. It takes longer to unlock weapons, at least it seems that way, but I'm digging it. And don't worry about bugs on screen, I'm seeing plenty. The unique armours seems neat, but I haven't really played around with 'em, I was sticking with the tactical so I could throw down turrets.

[Mr Andy Dixon]

I made the mistake of preordering mine from the GameStop by my work instead of by my house, which means I wasn't able to pick it up this weekend. (I live 45 minutes from where I work because I am an American.)

Grabbing it today on my lunch break and planning to fuck up some bugs tonight with Occams electric toothbrush.

[ZombiePlatypus]

I fucking hate the huge spiders that shoot ticks out of their backs. They take forever to kill and just run around fucking my shit up.

[usedtabe]

I'm going to pick it up today. Gonna start early grinding(If the health system is the same) so I can co-op that Inferno mode.

[Mr. Gobbldigook]

is this one full retail or 40 like the last one? either way I'll probably end up getting it after I pick up shadows of the damned.

[ZombiePlatypus]

It's $40, Sam.

And Used, the armour/health system is very different this time. It doesn't seem to stack and upgrade like in the last game. Though you can revive downed allies in this one, so that helps.

[usedtabe]

Well that sucks. I liked grinding to become damn near invincible on certain difficulties.

Wait so the first one is so bad it's good??? Do i need to track a copy down or what?

[ZombiePlatypus]

The first one isn't even that bad, aside from production values. And even those were endearing. I miss the shitty voice acting from the first game real bad though, they try to add on extra cheese in some parts but it's pretty light overall and not the same when it's obviously on purpose. Having Steve Blum voice the main guy was quite the shock.

The first game is a masterpiece of fun. Probably the best exclusive the 360 has had.
