>requires epic accountOH NONONONONONONO
apologize
>Heh, I bet Gabe didn't think through this one out! Fuck his monopoly!
>>683720231>requires psn accountno i wont faggot.
>>683719982A dummy account that the Epic Online Service automatically generates for you while you keep clicking Next Skip Finish. It's not your real Epic Account (the one that you use to receive free games on Epic Store).
>>683720231I'm sorry Helldivers 2.... I'll come back for the new difficulty patch.....
Helldivers won
>>683720427but does it make you install epic game client on your machine or no?
>>683720231Fuck you nigger I cannot unsee this now
>>683720427>PREASE GWEILO JUST PRESS NEXT BUTTON AND BECOME A PART OF OUR GRORIOUS CCP BOTNETno.
>>683720512>epic game clientWhat is that?There's no Epic Game Launcher installation if that's what you mean. The Epic Online Service is just Epic's online component to match players, similar to Steam's, or god forbid Garena.Or imagine Hamachi but except made by mega corpo and it provides the game devs with more numbers for excel chewers to go through.
>>683720714I never said that. In fact, if it bothers you, don't install EDF6. I'm simply explaining the differences between an actual ebin gayme account and the ebin online service component.
>>683720935I thought it was worse than that, people are definitely overexaggerating the issue.Though I do remember what happened when Payday 2 migrated their crossplay servers to Epic Games, that was bad.
>>683721152>I DINDU NUFFIN BUT YOU MUST BECOME A PART OF EPIC SPYWARE SERVICES BOTNET ANYWAYno.
>>683721181I thought the same when linux anon posted an early screenshot with his 100Mpbs network. Then I saw the "No email or" whatever required and had to try it. I only had to input my (fake) DoB. Definitely a weird implementation.
That anon is lying; you have to install the EGS launcher or the game doesn't even run, and after that you have to create an account so you can access the online features.
>>683721783One anon logged in with his actual, real Epic Game Store account and bricked his installation.
>>683719982>first the /vt/umors and now this shitThe ABSOLUTE STATE of edf trannies lmao
Man, what the fuck did they do to fencer. It's so slippery now and jump boost feels like shit compared to 5.
>>683721783Where did you find mention of having to install their full game client to play? I can only see people complaining about needing an account, but not game launcher itself.
>>683722154yeah dash jump feels like having 50kgs weights strapped onto Fencer's legs. The feel of momentum is gone.>>683722161Source: his prolapsed anus
>>683722161I pirated the game and it didn't run on my machine; I don't have any Epic software installed. The people in charge of the crack and the online for pirates patch explained on its website that you need to install the Epic client or otherwise the game won't run. Of course the people playing the legitimate copy don't say anything because they already have the Epic launcher installed on their systems.
>>683721783Wrong you have to install Epic Online Services API, this has NOTHING to do with EGSThousands of games on Steam use this API running silently in the background including huge releases like Elden Ring, the only difference is that EDF6 has a popup with single button press informing you that it's happening instead of doing it automatically without your knowledge. People are mad because they just found out about something they most likely have already been running on their computer for years.Again just to reiterate since you are stuck on this point it is NOT THE EPIC LAUNCHER, it's just an API. It requires one button press to join the online multiplayer and zero button presses for anything else. You don't even have to actually make an account, the game just does it for you. The entire fuss is so blown out of proportion it's insane.
>>683719982>Game requires an EA account/v/ sleeps>Game requires a Steam account/v/ sleeps>game requires a Battle.net account/v/ sleeps>game requires an epic account>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>683722753Stop lying. I'm playing Elden Ring online without having anything Epic-related installed on my machine. You literally need to install the Epic launcher if you want to play EDF6,
>>683719982The devs knew what they were doing. It wasn't listed on the Steam store that it requires Epic account, if it had, hardly anyone would've bought it.
>>683719982will probably be removed by the time it's $15 on sale which is the first time I wouldn't bought it anyway so DON'T CARE
>>683720935>>epic game client>What is that?>There's no Epic Game Launcher installation if that's what you mean.HMM I WONDER. I WONDER IF HE MEANT THAT. COULD HE HAVE?retard
>>683719982>devs use the lazy method of including EOS>makes steamies seethe about timI hope more devs make EOS transparent from now on so that steamies will continue to seethe about it like they have been for years now.
>>683723064https://steamdb.info/tech/SDK/EpicOnlineServices/Find any game you've run on your computer in this list and then shut the fuck upOnce again it's not the Epic launcher, it's Epic Online Services, an API built into many games to enable online functionality.
>>683723064You have Epic dll files when you download Elden Ring, you don't need to "install" them separately from Elden Ring. Also Easy AntiCheat which Elden Ring uses is also Epic.
Is EGS still Chinese spyware?
>>683723594>>683723615Did I stutter? Elden Ring didn't force me to install the Epic launcher and create an Epic account just to run the game.
>>683723723Yes just like Steam
>>683723723yeah
>>683723594>OuterWildsWhy? It's a singleplayer game, no scoreboard or anything.
>>683719982Who cares? Valve will remove all the troll review and then we will be back to its glorious real rating.
>>683721152That's a pretty funny attitude to have when you ostensibly want people to play a game.
>>683719982>>requires epic accountthat sucks, I'm not gonna buy it until thats removed. The Epic Store can piss off
How is the game though?
>>683723043I don't buy shitty games that require EA or Battle.net accounts, and I would seethe if they paid third party devs for exclusivity and games I wanted were locked to those platforms as wellSteam is actually a well made platform that provides benefits to both the user and the developer, so I don't have an issue with it. If these other launchers weren't garbage I wouldn't hate them as much either, but they are, so I do
>>683724065I just wanna know what the army chant is like in this one
>>683723757It just did it silently in the background so you didn't know about it.Just admit you were uninformed and take the LThe only crime EDF6 commits is telling customers what it's running on their PC instead of doing it in the background covertly.
>>683720427I've played games that use Epic's online services before, and they didn't ask me to create any account or have any review bombs on them at the time.Did EDF6 do this in some dumb way? Put a big "CREATE EPIC ACCOUNT" on the main menu and people just assumed they needed an EGS account?
>>683723757Never before seen low levels of reading comprehension. Anyways EDF fag's deserve to eat shit for having a bot shitting up the famitsu threads when their dog shit games can't even beat the worst tendie titles
>>683724235Are you illiterate or something?I can play Elden Ring, both offline and online, without having the Epic launcher installed and without an Epic account; in fact I've never had an Epic account. Meanwhile EDF6 requires both.
>>683724317Its the same thing, but other games that use it just auto-generate a dummy account without even letting you know. EDF 6 for some reason tells you and makes YOU do it instead of just doing it in the background like everyone else.Elden Ring does the same thing, but it just does it right when you log in without telling you.
>>683724492Multiple people have been telling you that Elden Ring includes the Epic files when you install it and autogenerates an Epic account tied to your PC when you run it, it seems you're too dumb to understand what you're being told.
>>683724235>>683724492I haven't played either games and I don't plan to but who do I trust here?
>>683724595This all feels like some scheme from Epic to lie about th and size of their user base
>>683724683That wouldn't make much sense considering the other games like ER still do the same thing. Its way more likely the guys programming EDF 6's PC online features are just retarded.
>>683724646Elden Ring does definitely generate an Epic account for you when you launch it, I know that much to be true.
>>683724636And I've telling you that I can run and play Elden Ring without having to create an Epic store account and downloading their client. So you claiming that EDF6 and Elden Ring work exactly the same is a bold faced lie.
>>683724646Check the link to all the games that include the Epic Online Services files, you can see who is being retarded.
>>683724851You don't need to download the EGS client to play EDF6.
>>683724786D3P is an awful publisher, simple as
>>683724916Yes you need to.
>>683723043I also don't play games that require ea accounts, blizzard accounts, xbox accounts, etc.
>>683724963You don't.You just get this shit and need to click allow. Which is annoying on its own.
>>683719982Im so tired of the steam review bombs. It was funny when it was finklecore crap, but seeing good games get caught up in this crap is sad.
>>683724175>Get game>Requires 3rd party launcher>Launcher is buggy>Devs eventually abandon game>Tons of people locked out because of the shitty launcher>Devs never bother to patch itEver. Fucking. Time
>>683725125Good game with shit publisher deserve to be called out. Fix your fucking customers service or I won't give your game money and praise.
>>683724856I don't now who to believe
>>683719982It's never been so over
>>683725327I don't have any of the Epic software installed and I get a white screen any time I try to run EDF6.
>>683724786I just mean in general the way they do the dummy account thing with games. I am also a retard so take that in consideration.
This year has been nothing but dissapointment after dissapointment holy shit
>>683725683Oh, they probably include it as parts of their services and numbers for sure. Would look good to investors.
>>683725678Also, EDF6's desktop icon is literally the EGS client icon.
>>683723938I respect others and their choices. I want to give them the most accurate information for them to make their most conscious choice with their money. I'm not here to sell EDF6. The game isn't for everyone in both gameplay and presentation, that's a fact.
>>683725678I don't know if I can believe you
>>683725830you downloaded a virus
>>683722753Okay but I have Steam, why do I need anything from Epic????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>683719982>All Reviews:>Very NegativeDon't you just love democracy?
>>683725889I can run Elden Ring and show you the small window if you want.
Every game requiring a third party account deserves this. You shouldn't be allowed to peddle your own services on a storefront that already has its own.
>>683725935Epic's networking backend is supposedly better for cross-play. They did actually explain in detail why they chose to use it for EDF6 in one of the development blogs.
>>683725916Nah, it's the proper pirate version and its online fix. Here's the post >>683706613, the pirate anon literally explains that you need to install the Epic launcher.
>>683725935>>683726056https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/news/in-less-than-a-month-how-earth-defense-force-6-added-crossplay-by-adopting-epic-online-services
>>683725935Because this particular API helps developers implement online multiplayer with crossplay etc. It's very popular, it's just usually opaque so people didn't realize they've been using it the whole time until EDF made them click a button.
>>683719982Perfect.
>>683726112Yeah well I'm not poor so I have a legit copy, no EGS, and the game runs. So, seems like a you problem.
>>683720387no it doesnt
I remember seeing a handful of turbo-shill threads for this game over the past couple of months. And specifically people pretending as if this dogshit aesthetic meme series is somehow a hidden gem of a series. And now, >>683719982 . Every time when a game gets mega-shilled and it tanks like this. Beautiful.
>>683726160Except none of those games have crossplay with console versions so they're inconveniencing the player for no reason.
>>683726383I wasn't the one shilling but this dogshit aesthetic meme series is somehow a hidden gem.
>>683726250>no EGS, and the game runsYou have it installed.
>>683726448>hidden gem.The EDF franchise is one of the most famous franchises out there. It's like claiming that Dark Souls is a hidden gem.
>>683725949Only when my side wins. When it doesn't, it's not democracy.
>>683726471I don't, just the "online services".
>>683720714Gweilo is cantonese you fucking retard
>>683726603>I don't have Epic software installed, I just have Epic software installed.
>>683726579you spend too much time online.go ask people on the street and you're lucky if 1 in 1000 has heard of EDF.
>>683726657For like 2 hours people have been telling you that you don't need the Epic Games Launcher, just the online services. No one ever said you don't need anything from Epic.
>>683725949>Troondivers>15 year old r*ddit meme spouding retard thinks his pozzed brand of choice is betteryou're the best advertisement against this game, good job
>>683726579EDF5 was released in 2017 and reached total worldwile sales of a whopping 1 million units five years later in 2022. It is not one of the most famous franchises out there.
>It's the same as Elden Ring!Obviously there's some difference. Why would Steam force EDF6 to put in a notification but not Elden Ring if both games require an EOS account?
>>683727948>Why would Steam force EDF6 to put in a notification but not Elden Ring if both games require an EOS account?one got review bombed day one for not burying it
>>683727948Pretty sure Elden Ring mainly uses EAC which is built into EOS, no clue if they use it for anything else.
>>683720340>hey this one is on me kid
>>683719982Does it require an epic account for fucking not?There's gotta be a vid on this, everyone is saying different shit.
>>683719982>requires epic accountI tried EGS once and it was unbelievably bad. Why would anyone be surprised that Steam is a monopoly when this dogshit is not only missing basic features, it's also actively making your games worse?
>>683719982https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLdz0eBY_UwThis guy says it requires linking an EPIC account. How the fuck do you do this when we just went through it with HD2? It's baffling, I can't comprehend.
>>683729045More specifically it offers the option of linking your existing account or creating a "dummy account", the type that most Epic online services games use.
>>683719982It's a shame too, a small game like EDF really doesn't need this controversy.
>>683723043No, I don't like any of them. GoG or pirate.
>>683727948Who said Steam "forced" anything? They added it themselves after the review bomb. While Elden Ring got GOTY'd. The real difference: EDF6 informs you about doing it. Elden Ring doesn't. So it didn't become a scandal that neecssitated a response.
>>683728602It requires you to either enter a birth date or link an epic account. That's the final answer.
>people still can't figure out if you need a EGS accountRegardless of how easy it actually is to create the dummy account, this is such a huge fuckup from a business perspective. You have customers asking around, having no fucking clue what they need to do to enjoy their product, being forced to scour forums to get answers from other players instead of getting straight answers from official PR. What a blunder.
>>683729519Absolutely. Took me about 10 minutes to find out the definitive answer and I consider myself better than the average consumer at this stuff.
>>683722753>the only difference is that EDF6 has a popup with single button press informing you that it's happening instead of doing it automatically without your knowledge.And this is why being dishonest > Being honestIt also foretells that PCchuds can't read and are reviewbombing for NO REASONThis kills the Japanese market and ensures the future will be westoid with more and more westoid devs making eastern games and slapping a different name to it. Like Helldivers did.
>>683729519Yeah if you only need to make a dummy account, all they needed to do was say that right up front and then people wouldn't be panicking. And HD2 pre-trained people to respond immediately and viciously so that devs will fold so that's what everyone is doing
>>683722753They just put up an official post on the Steam page in broken English and using the phrase "signing in to your Epic Games account" three separate times.I mean, I know you're right, but seems like they're confused too.
>>683729745I wonder if they would seriously piss off Epic if they just said you can make a dummy account with fake details.
Unlike steam, Epic actually provides a cross platform API. More games would have crossplay if they embraced epic services.
>>683729853A simple message like "Linking to an Epic account is not required, just enter blah blah and you are good to go" would be enough.
>>683729853It's not that kind of dummy account. It's an autogenerated one. All it asks for you is a birthdate (probably for some underage data law reasons) and then it generates an ID that is tied to your Steam account and that's it. It's an intended feature.
>>683720714>PREASE GWEILO JUST PRESS NEXT BUTTON AND BECOME A PART OF OUR GRORIOUS CCP BOTNETGo back >>to /r/FuckEpicThis is a Tim Sweeney board.
>>683729894All of my friends play on PC.
Don't care. Having fun with it.
>>683730046And you'd have more access to more friends with cross play. You've never been locked out of playing something with someone due to platform differences? Arguing against cross play is retarded.
>>683729894No one besides Epic and Microsoft (Playfab) support cross platform APIsAlso in this case it's only between Steam and EGS, no crossplay with PlayStation players.
>>683730156I'm not arguing against crossplay. I'm arguing against signing in to multiple botnets to enable a feature I don't have anything against but don't have any use for either.
>>683724646Epic is included in ER, that part is true at least. I verified it a while ago.
>>683730104>grade S cringe and cope
>>683730156I am arguing against crossplay. I don't want to play with contards or people dumb enough to install EGS.I would rather have fewer people to play with than open the retard floodgates.
>>683723043Most of those games also tell you before it launches that the account will be required and not edit the store page hours after launch.
>>683730534I don't think people generally play EDF with strangers.
>>683730156Do you have malaria? No? Well then, would you like to get ass raped if I offer you some malaria medicine? Oh and also to play vidya you need to get ass raped too, sorry it's just part of the deal. You don't hate malaria medicine do you? It helps people with malaria.
>>683725678>>683725830I don't think that's a real installation. Are you a third worlder? I smell a thief complaining is stolen product doesn't work.
is this shit even cracked?not seeing anything on crackwatch
>>683730882uploaded to ggn 11 hours ago
>>683725949Negative entirely because of the Epic games store thing. Runs 100% perfectly fine otherwise.
>>683730920is there a fix for the epic cancer? i dont care about playing with randos online but id like to be able to play singleplayer and host a server for my friends without any epic account involved.
>>683730623Who else would I play it with? My friends play call of duty and fifa. They don't play literally who games.
>>683731705Nope. EGS or fuck off and get white screen of death.
>>683731972damn, hopefully somebody fixes it somehow, i guess ill stick to edf5
>>683719982>this shovelware kusoge supports ultrawide nativelywhat a shock
>>683732112not to run complete defense but you click create account and it autogenerates one for multiplayer, so its not a super intrusive thing, but I get it
It's not just an account you have to install (((Epic Games Services))) aka chink spyware.
You people will take a stand on the most retarded innocuous shit
>>683725830What a false flagging homo
>>683732840
>>68373284099% of the reviews aren't from /v/You're on the wrong side of history. Simple as.
>>683732840It was only a matter of time before an innocent game was brigaded by knee jerking retards

>>683737142Never, because Epic *are* bad.
If I make a troll epic username for this can they ban it? And will I get banned from EDF online?Like if the name involves noggers, or Tiananmen square?
>>683738221Of course. How hard is it to just be normal, dude? What's wrong with you?
>>683738221Niggers*
I just pirate the DLC so they aren't getting anymore from me.
>>683738351EDF fucking lost.
>>683719982Are those devs fucking retarded? This was their big chance.
>>683738456They didn't do anything wrong. You're just a Sheen following the Helldivers fandom.Kist of games that do the same shit ESF6 has done:https://steamdb.info/tech/SDK/EpicOnlineServices/
Epic shit aside, there's some stuff I like about the game, especially with some of the design decisions like how the remnants of the EDF are so absolutely fucked in terms of resources and equipment they've resorted to mounting fucking Nix torsos on the back of flatbed trucks.Also fencer miniguns aren't as much of a pain in the ass to use any more.
>>683738456>no requirement before game release>after game release say you need to link Epic Games account on store page>actual players say you can create a dummy account>last part is not communicated at all through official channels>this is just after another PR disaster regarding linking accounts in another game of the genreThis is 100% retardation and they deserve the hate for this utter lack of customer communication.
>>683722450The epic launcher is installed on first launch and is made -silent so may or may not see it installing the Epic Online Service dependency, this is exactly the time it checks and updates vcredist and other redists. While it's possible some might already have it, most won't even see it be installed.
BattlEye might have been a piece of shite but at least it asked you if you wanted to install it.
>But what about OTHER GAMESOther games connect to EOS. EDF6 installs the software itself to my PC, fuck off Jeet shills.>BUT WHAT ABOUTI don't care, fuck Sweeney
even though helldivers II has like 1/10th of the playerbase it originally garned its still going to shit on this doa game.
i just want to play but every thread is niggers crying ffslobby where
where is the fucking scene release aaaaa
>>683723938Yeah hard to imagine some people just wanna help regardless of if you want to play a game or not. Probably impossible for your retardation addled mind to comprehend. instead of posing completely braindead ponderings, maybe you should just stick to typing your faggy memes and eating mommys hot pockets. Kike.
mission 41, good first day, tons of fun, harder than 5 for sure
>>683738720Maybe you boomers could just stop being retarded faggots? Have you considered that? >ohhh nooo oh mah gawd i gatta click 2 buttons insteada 1? Wut kinda muhlarky is theyusss??m!! Heckin devarinos!!!! Downvoted!!!!!You sound completely fucking fat and gay
>>683739491>SIR PLEASE TO BE DOING THE NEEDFUL EPIC ACCOUNT NUMBER BOLSTERING YOU BLOODY BASTARD
>>683726889Thanks for convincing me to get a copy anon
Had to sleep from staying up late but I just made it to grenadiersHoly shit they are so chaotic even the giant ones nuke a place.
>>683739491Maybe if a company tries to sell me a product, they should get their story straight so they don't come off as either idiots or scammers, both untrustworthy.I guess reading terms of service is too much for you zoomies, enjoy your credit card debt and predatory contracts when you get older.
>>683720714does japanese have a slur for white people? of course there’s “gaijin” but that refers to any foreigner
>>683739218Blame the company for assraping its consumers, not the consumers for lashing out at the company trying to assrape them.
>>683729664damn, seething much over your slop getting reviewed properly like the trash it is?
>>683739491>SER U FAT AND GAY REDEEM EPEEC ACCOUNT NOWNo, jeet. I will not. Refund pending.
>>683722753Then explain account log in. Those other games didn't require account creation. And con confirm that as my Epic account was locked and dead until I reset the password. That leaves two outcomes that either those other games use your Steam log in details (which is even worse) or Sandlot is hyper retarded in how they implemented the Epic system.
Ignoring the rest of these complaints, if I didn't play through 5 all the way, should I just skip this one til I play 5 to death if I already have it?
Having play 11 hours now, half of which is online, I have to say thisI have never before experienced desync in EDF till nowPlaying with my friend as host, if I was anywhere near him and what he was attacking anything, I am completely unable to hit anything because its just not there
Goodluck on the reviewbomb. We did it with sony we can do it again. Not sure why people are trying to start fights between EDF and Helldivers though. I sadly understand console wars, but these are two videogames that share the same kind of gameplay. How can you say helldivers/edf is shit when you play edf/helldivers
>>683740207Multiplayer lobbies in every other EDF game have been fine how they were, but now they push this shit in and it's suddenly terrible for no reason at all. Why would they try and fix something that worked fine?
>>683738640They did plenty wrong, but all of it because of incompetence rather than malice or greed
>>683740346>Why would they try and fix something that worked fine?Timmy Tencent paid for the data he's harvesting as we speak.
>>683732840imagine being this much of a shabbos goy. And no I won't go back to /pol/
Has anyone actually seen anyone online using Epic to play?

>>683740656It is only available in Japan on the epig gay store, so no.
>>683740102Just play 5 and wait for a sale, hopefully by then they will have gotten their shit together and fixed this shitty netcode implementation
>>683740656Does EDF6 even tell?
>>683740676Why did you post a picture of yourself?
>>683724646I've played Pal World, Multiverus, and New World just quickly looking at that list. Last I played Multi was last weekend. And Pal World in Jan. Through out that entire time my Epic account was dead and far as I can tell, the launcher not even on my computer.Installed EDF 6 today and it shows you installing the Epic shit. Then requires you to enter account details or won't work. I couldn't play EDF6 until I reactivated my Epic account. tl:dr anon is full of shit unless all those games listed have been secretly smuggling the accounts you make with them over to Epic and burying that little detail in the fine print. Sandlot being lazy japs could also be the case as well.
>>683740750Yes, unless you disable it, all players will have STEAM or EPIC by their name.At least I assume they'll have epic, I've only seen STEAM so far.
>EDF! EDF!DOA! DOA!
>>683719982Don't care still gonna play for 100 hours minimum.
>>683740882Gonna do the same but with a pirated copy.
>>683723064>I'm playing Elden Ring online without having anything Epic-related installed on my machine.Easy Anti Cheat is owned by Epic and integrates the same EOS that EDF uses
>>683740940>Easy Anti Cheat is owned by Epic and integrates the same EOS that EDF usesObjectively false. EOS incorporates EAC. EAC is a component of EOS. Not the other way around.
>>683725125It's never happened to a good game.
>>683740837Good to know. Be sure to post when you find a single EPIC user then. lmao
>>683724317Upon launching the game, it installs the EOS. I immediately went to online multiplayer. After playing the intro cutscene, the Epic log in pops up. I hit create new account and it asks for a birthday. Then it created a new account with a random name and linked to my steam account (which I don't even know if I would be able access the credentials to log into EGS because I only have the name it gave me which I immediately forgot while typing this up).
>>683720340Wish I could crush the head or this rat with an anvil
>>683726158>Initially, EDF6 was targeted to release on PS4; however, with the release of the successor console, the PS5, during the development, there arose a demand for "compatibility with both PS4 and PS5" and "cross-matching." It was determined that the current system could not accommodate processing commonality and matchmaking between different hardware, necessitating the search for a new solution.Holy shit can poor fags die already? Demand for new PS4 games should result in instant revoke of food stamps.
>>683740846Damn, you know it bad when even fighting game titles btfo your numbers.
EDF bros, what the fuck man.
Please tell if the EOS implementation actually crossplays with console players too and not just other PC platforms.
>>683719982Fucking WHY?
>>683741281Blame the PS5 for being a giant useless piece of shit with no reason to exist.
steamies are literal toddlers lmao, this level of brand loyalty and hatred for account linking is insane
>>683741390we're living it>the day even EDF isn't completely safe
>>683740846All I see is record numbers for the series

>>683741490that's the funny part lol
>>683726158>the one thing saving their game from existing>they hate itsteam trannies are a joke
>>683741490Dunno. It says though it will accept your EOS account info from consoles like Switch, etc though.

>>683741601>>683741649>>683741721Then what's the point of having EOS for "crossplay" when its CLEARLY A WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME
Here's how other games use EOS without requiring you to link a dogshit Epig Gay account, and without you needing to install additional bullshit:Connect InterfaceThe Connect Interface handles authentication to Epic Game Services. It is provider-agnostic, and can thus be used with a number of Identity Providers (such as Epic Games, Steam, Xbox Live, etc.).The Connect Interface does not rely on Epic Accounts but instead uses a Product User ID (PUID) that is unique to a particular product in your organization.The easiest way to think about these two Interfaces is that the Auth Interface deals with Epic Accounts and the related social graph APIs and the Connect Interface deals with the unique user IDs that are created on behalf of your game and must be linked to an external identity. Because the IDs used by the Connect Interface are not a social graph, they can be used for cross-play and cross-progression connected to multiple identities and can be used without the Auth Interface entirely.
edf 6 never had a chance jesus christ what a bunch of idiots all around
Why does EDF6 require you to install Epic Online Service on launch, meanwhile other games using the exact same service such as Satisfactory or Palworld (multiplayer), do not? You can check it yourself if it installs or not after running a server instance. The only thing Satisfactory does is the dummy/temporary/account thing for networking which EDF6 also does but it gave you a popup instead of it being automatic, yet it still needed to install EOS?
Fun on my machine
The removal of the IP counter has been disastrous for anti-samefagging on this website.
>>683719982>>683742296why do people think hate raiding for autistic and petty reasons does anything? It's not like EDF doesn't commonly get "bad" reviews in the first place.
>buy game with mates who i played the other EDF with>download and play it, see it needs a epic store login>doesn't say on the steam page but oh well, corporations ganna corp>not like corporations respect their costumers anyways, always been like this since it all about making money and getting those shareholders more money>we play for 4 hours before we all have to sleep with with our wives and work>had a bunch of fun like the good old days>writing this as i'm on site in the toilet taking me shitoutside of the dishonest act of not telling us about the epic account needed, the game is a true EDF gamethe VA is so bad it's goodthe music is greatthe passion each VA put in screaming out EDF is therethe weapons are even more fun to use nowand i get to shoot my mates fav vtuber, the shark one and kill herso much winning here

>>683723757No, but ER did :DBut yeah, Epic is on your PC already, you've just not had to sign up for an account
Why does it rape my GPU when 5 was doing fine?
>>683742402Botched implementation of the service that's all. D3 didn't bother doing more than the bare minimum
>People dont know the difference between a gamestore and a SERVERis /v/ really this retarded? Yes.
All D3 and Sandlot need to do is remove EOS and crossplay!
After how smug you guys were in the Helldivers threads I feel so vindicated.Eat shit lmao.
i hope the timmy cash was worth it devs
How does the series still not have matchmaking? A lobby host system is not matchmaking.
>>683742787Wow you owned him! I'll be sure to share this post in the Helldivers 2™ Official Discord so you can get +10 supercredits!
>>683730845it does work. you just need to install EOS because tenoke are a bunch of buffoons and not a real scene cracker group.

>>683743368I don't use any of those things, faggot. Go bootlick some more corporations.
>>683719982>its only cross storefront play>not actual crossplay>every company has to waste time implementing EOS because they want to put their game on a shitty storefront like EGSThis explains WAY too fucking much.
>>683743239I honestly dont even remember the last time an EDF had better graphics than the previous game
This feels like a worse version of 5. I expected some fucking IMPROVEMENTS if you're gonna sell me the game again.
Uninstalled my pirated version. 5 years since EDF5 and basically no qol changes outside of gameplay. Everything is a pain to navigate. Even figuring out what a weapon does requires going over paragraphs of poorly translated text. Serverlist is a fucking mess as well. Yeah give no way to arrange by mission or hide games already started
>>683720231>EDF6 launches and flops as the shitty rehashed crap it is >Helldivers 2 gets 2m views on its new free expansionWe are in the based timeline
>>683743730>>Helldivers 2 gets 2m views on its new free expansionWhat expansion?
>>683743565If it at least supported PC and consoles it would have been worth something.Otherwise it's like 99% Steam users and like the 7 guys who bought it on Epic>>683743604I remember 2025 to 4.1 added normal maps to enemies like ants and Caves could actually be dark. Usually nothing big though which I'm okay with.
>>683743239>>683743604Graphics arr rook same.
>>683720231The Helldivers situation was completely different. PSN isn't available in half the world but they were selling the game in those regions anyway. EOS is a very minor annoyance that doesn't prevent anyone from playing the game. People are schizoing out over it because Tim lives rent free in their head.
>>683743730>updates to your GaaS piece of shit are now called "free expansions"die zoomer
What even is being provided by the API? Crossplay? Also its very obvious this is probably an API and people don't understand that Valve doesn't have crossplay support in their API.
>>683741965So you can accommodate the 5 retards who actually buy games on EGS.
>>683743809>>683743730Thanks for the heads up. I'd not played the game in forever, but your post has me reinstalling
>>683743968While minor dropping it on people with no warning is bound to stir up a shitfest.Like there are several things they could have done to not cause this but didn't do any of it.
>>683744007This whole shitshow is because people thing EOS is ESG. It's poorly worded and the masses are freaking out over nothing.
>>683743059Please understand. At $60 a pop for decade old engine, can only afford hamsters to power servers.
Now that I have to have Epic's launcher installed for Unreal engine, it's not that bad. The requirements are probably because it uses Epic's servers.
>>683743809New difficulty, new enemies, new missions, vehicles leaked. All of it free. >>683743973Yeah god fucking forbid a game do live service well and all the major content is free. All praise EDF which locks missions behind paid DLC and has $40 of individual weapon DLC on a full priced AAA for rehashed missions from EDF5.
>>683743547>heh, i don't use any of that. look how based i amyou go girl, slay anon, SLAAAAAY!!!look anons, this guy is sooooo cooooool, doesn't use anything from corporations, i bet they make their own power and gas too!doesn't work, makes their own food and everythingthis guy is anti-corp so you know he's a bad asssucks to be you mate, enjoy your life of being angry at everything
do better drones get the camera positioning like bombardments do? I keep blowing myself up because aiming them is so wonky
>>683741281Only but Sandlot is to blame. PS4 was at least the Bloodborne machine while theres no point to owning a PS5.
>>683744137low iq retard post
>>683743968Thank yoi for being a voice of reason. I'm installing the Epic Game Store launcher right this moment!
>>683719982>Helldivers-likeDamn, these copycats are fast
>Hop on EDF7>It's made for PS3 instead of PS2.>You can hop into a quick match and just shoot a bunch of bugs with strangers.This is my nightmare. I'd rather play EDF5-3
>>683743973Enjoy paying $70 for EDF 7 in a few years that adds one new weapon and 20 new stages.

>>683719982lmao the vtumor shit was the writing on the wall
I am in a constant state of tension in all of the "old" maps, because I THINK I know what is going to happen.
>>683724317Its the same shit but people are touchy after the Helldivers shitThe pop-up doesn't even appear after the first time you go online
>>683744369>NOOOOOO I MUST DEFEND MY SHITTY REHASH BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN GLORIOUS NIPPON!!!
>>683744371What's your issue with his post?
>>683744371No you retard, difficulty/enemies/missions are confirmed. The vehicles have been leaked to launch with this expansion. And yes its all free instead of $30-60 like EDF expects for it mission packs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQl2BmhSCsA
>>683744452I dont defend EDF. Im calling you a zoomer retard for saying that update to your piece of shit game as a service is a "free expansion".Die zoomer retard.
>>683720469>>683720435>guys here it is!! What you've been waiting for... New enemies!!!>it's uh... Not the illuminate. It's just some dogshit enemies made to literally be annoying as fuck and ruin the game, lmao.
>>683739713ワイトピッグマン、ゴーホーム

>>683744382Theres no workaround, you have to log in
>>683744681Last (you), you clueless normalfag zoomer.
EDF bros. I'm not gonna accept this shit this time around. I'll just wait for 7 for the next reboot. Hopefully by then, they won't increase the price for the game + its DLC missions + guns + pre-purchase shenanigans by then.I hope you guys have the most fun possible. Love you, always.
>>683744716fug
>>683744734Thats right, stop posting pretending you made a point and somehow won after providing 0 counter arguments and losing to me. Just like how EDF lost to Helldivers.
>>683741281>release a pointless console upgrade every year>people stop buying them because they're all the same>this is the buyer's fault somehow
>>683744681Expansions are when you pay full price for the same game + toilet paper thin storyline to justify reusing all of the same assets & levels
Wtf? You might as well just play Helldivers at this point.
>>683744225>EDF 8 rolls out>Enhanced for PSX suuport>Leaves DC online out to dry>PC won't even install DirectX 3 Well l-least I still get 45 FPS.
Personally I am happy Helldivers got so popular, because at least the EDF dev team might wake up to the fact they have been milking a tiny fraction of this genre and could do so much better. As much as I love EDF, 6 is terrible for a sequel vs 5 and we need a big improvement.
Helldivers is cheaper looks better and has free DLC. You fuckers that buy EDF6 are the reason gaming is such a shit show
>>683719982>game was on a pre-order discount>launch day full price>suddenly back on discount againhuh
Anyone else feels sleepy? I feel like we need to go back to Helldivers.
>>683744854PC master race here. I stopped following that shit back at Dreamcast and just pick up whatever plays the newest Smash/Bayo slop. Don't care who is at all fault but they to stop hindering my glorious bug killing.
>>683745135Because its flopped hard, this epic scandal has killed it
>>683744681I played helldivers too and like most people have dropped it by now. I checked back on this thinking there were new game modes and nope. Just new enemies worlds and objectives. It's the same game. That is not an expansion thats more of the same dlc they've been dropping and it's not enough to get me to come back.
>>683745185I'm interested in a less retarded answer
This killed the company btw. HD won the culture war. Its so fucking over, you guys just don't get it how bad this is for Japan.
Leaked sequel plans.>EDF7Ranger can now change 3 colours instead of 2.>EDF8Spiders (Monster B) can now be found with additional limbs.>EDF9Enhanced version of EDF8, with rebooted story & all the DLC from previous versions. >EDFXDivers can now wear KPOP shirts for 3.99 (or free if downloaded before the first 24 hours) >EDF1Another remake of EDF1, but this time it has quickplay matchmaking (there are now only 3 enemy types)>MDF (Mars Defense Force)EDF5 again, but with a red filter>EDF5Accidental rerelease>EDF2Another reboot, but DOUBLED the amount of enemies from EDF1 Remake (Now there's 6 enemy types)>EDF3Emotional story about how we were the bugs all along (Also a reboot)>EDF vs MDFPlayers can now control how enemy bugs spawn in>End of EDFEDF5 released again, but you can use DirectX12
>>683745296You're retarded for not realising thats the exact reason
>get a Kepler tank that's high level>its red in the menu but the game still lets me select it>try requesting support in the middle of mission>they don't bring it in
>>683745467Why are you surprised that the game is full of bugs? Just shoot them
>>683745221>new game modesWhy the FUCK would you think any dev would add new game modes, segregating the player base? What an absolute retard take. Even EDF isn't that stupid to have different online modes outside of difficulty.
>>683745221The trailer specifically says there are new modes.
What the hell is wrong with this game, my FPS are at 60, but the 99% are 30fps, so when rotating the camera the game runs at 30FPS, this is on a 4090 and 7800x3d. I understood the game was a "piece of crap" and that was part of the charm, but I don't know if I'm willing to play at possibly sub 30FPS on a high end PC.
Why are bikes the single worse vehicles ever put into any video game ever? The smallest pebble instantly throws you a mile.
this thread convinced me to reinstall slop divers
>>683745621Honestly, just stomach it. We're in a really trying time as EDF fans.
>>683745467That's intended. If you're trying requesting for red-labelled vehicles in the post-apocalypse period, you won't get it because of story reasons.
>>683745697EDF6 did that for me
>>683738665>Miniguns aren't as much of a pain in the ass to use anymoreThey never were. You just needed the proper supporting gear like everything else they use. The only bad things on the fencer were the shields. Never understood their use.
>>683745467You start in the future with no support, after mission 13 you get to go back in time and then you can use all the weapons as normal and the reds become usable. Why can you select it but not use it? Because the devs are so incompetent they could not do the basic level of programming needed to actually lock/remove the weapons you can't use in the first few missions. This would literally take a few minutes of work by the way. That'll be $70 plus tip.
>>683745909I don't understand how there's 0 polish after working on it for 6 years
The mission 13 twist is absolute kino. I love how it's even reflected by the UI and music changing. Even though it's pretty much recycling content.
>>683745445>it flopped !>record series numbers
>>683729274yeah this fucking sucks
The whole "Sometime jump-dash does forward dash instead" thing is really fucking with me on Fencer.
>>683746126They got greedy. It should cost half this price to represent what it is; incremental improvements to the series. They're charging full price because they're jews now.
I'm gonna play EDF5 anyone wanna play and not talk at all?
>>68374562130fps on a 4090 is really good for a Japanese AAA game. They're very demanding.
>>683746231Yeah, that's called a flop, everything EDF is competing with is doing better and after this Epic issue its going to get no sales in the west to go with its tiny sales in Japan. You asked why they extended the sale, its because the game has a 30% approval rating and is flopping, there is your answer you butthurt fanboy.
>>683746396Sorry, I'm too tired to download either EDF5 or 6 after today.
>>683739713https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uACGSiN3ZkI
So, anyone not refunding it?
>>683746719Why would I refund it? Game is what I wanted and the EOS thing is a nonissue and was proven as such. Its just shitty that they didnt hide it better or be honest before release.
How many flashback missions are there, this is ridiculous.
fuck these scummy bug-eyed faggotsthey deserve all the backlash from this and more
If you didn't already have an Epic account to play Unreal Tournament 4, you're a fake nigga.
we need to send uninstall screenshots on twitter to the devs. Make as many of them to kill themselves.This is what they get for trying to one-up Helldivers.
Well refunded. Maybe if it didn't run shitty and actually had real qol improvements I could deal. Still no fucking matchmaking or joining in on a current mission.
It seems the game doesn't even use epic services for the multiplayer lobbies (they're still p2p) but just for the lobby / matching server.You can literally disable the EOS service after your friends join and kill the epic online service tasks and overlay render.pic related, it's actually true
>>683719982Why are japanese programmers like this?
>>683745428This will be the final nail in the coffin. You actually believe they will survive long enough for an EDF7?
>>683746931Too lateAlready refunded
>>683746813If I remember from the console version, there's lots before it finally turns into a "we're changing the past" sort of mission.
>>683746719Already refunded it. Reinstalling HD2.
>>683745428kek
>>683746719Aside from EOS which I spent five minutes on because >>683746835 it's everything I've wanted so far.Granted all I wanted was more EDF5 but it's fulfilling that VERY nicely.
So glad this shit game failed.
>>683740207funnily enough that's on epic's blog post about it>This ensures smooth action for relevant enemies while saving bandwidth for other players. However, there are trade-offs, such as increased bandwidth concentration on a single player targeted by many enemies and potential decreases in reproduction accuracy of enemies’ behavior for distant players.Not sure how it managed to desync up close but they wrote about it
>>683720231>Devs don't even play the game while nerfing every fun option in the groundlol lmao

>>683743263>>683742898Small indie botched it then. I don't see them turning it around unless they remove the dependency on having it installed, no one actually wants Epic stuff client side. And most are probably fine if it just takes network data like every other game.
>>683747750Graphics aren't everything lmao
I don't get it.I've played 4.1I've even played 5But how the fuck are people still justifying buying this shit? It's literally 5 with extra maps and it's not like the devs don't have the money, these games sell.This is super lazy recycled assets sold as a full price game.
Pirated and accepted the retarded EOS authentication. I just wanna play EDF. Waited two years since the jp release for this and nothing will stop me
>finally port and release the game to PC>fuck it all up with incompetence and the worst misunderstanding possible>possibly screw over the franchises' future if they don't fix it immediatelyBros, I fear for EDF.
>>683745909Thanks for the spoilers..
/v/ reviews:Failure to mention the requirement for an Epic Games Account until AFTER game launch is a cardinal sin. This will be a permanently negative review. I will not be changing this review after your EGREGIOUS transgression.2: Was sold for the first six hours with no indication that epic installation was required, spend 60 dollars just to be tricked into installing chinese spyware.Daily reminder you're getting CLOWNED on steam reviews for leaving a positive review to this game. The community HATES this game.
This was my first EDF game, should I refund and just get 5 instead or can this be patched?
>>683747835>I've even played 5Wow, daring, aren't you?Dumb normalfag.
>>683745909>Why can you select it but not use it?It's to punish retards like you.

>>683748015EDF5 also has EOS you retard. The only difference here is that EDF6 actually warned you about it instead of hiding it like a slime.

I pre-ordered Blood Bowl 3, and it sucked ass. I pre-ordered EDF6 and its completely unplayable. I also pre-ordered Dragons Dogshit 2, and I pre-ordered Digimon Survive.Every time I pre-order, the game is shit.
>>683746931Anon can you take one for the team and post a video to check? Make sure it doesn't start back up
>>683748541Answer the question, incelboy.
>>683748489It would be charming if it were a bargain bin ps3 title.This is a full priced game running on PC. It shouldn't be running like dog shit. It's a rip off.
>>683748312Prove it>>683748489Indians eat cowshit and call it holy
>>683748629NOOOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU MUUUUST ACCEPT EOS YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT FUCKING NOW
>>683748739>It would be charming if it were a bargain bin ps3 title.that's also part of the charm...>It shouldn't be running like dog shit.It is designed to run badly on any hardware.
Why do you refuse to be part of the botnet? You're already on a list anyway. Just buy the game and accept Epic's Game Store. You're drowning yourself in a glass of water.
>>683748940>Just let another corporation rape you XDFuck off, retard.
>See the shitshow Helldivers 2 went through a few months earlier >Decide to do literally the exact same thingWhat the fuck were they thinking?
>a single butthurt mid 30s brown man with a rape fetish has ruined this thread for 5 hours
>>683749013they didn't thothey used the exact same method as these companies do:https://steamdb.info/tech/SDK/EpicOnlineServices/the only difference is they asked you about it, the games in that list don't ask you, they just do it in the background without you noticing.
>>683748975Why do you even care? Your hymen has been broken already. This isn't the first time a corpo raped your ass. Just take it like a man instead of being a cry baby.
Just got home, time to try out this GOTY I got. Wish me luck lads, see you on the battefield!
>>683749013They took the wrong kind of inspiration.>>683749171No they arent, maliciously misinforming retard. Other companies use the EOS Connect interface which doesn't require any account linking, using PUID (product-userID) tokens to communicate with the back-end. They also don't force separate installs of Epic Online Services (which isn't needed for the library to work). You're just going to parrot the same thing again in five minutes because you're a braindead paid epic pajeet shill, but you'll be as wrong then as you are now.
>>683748940I guarantee you almost everyone in this thread crying about spyware already has EOS installed from over 2000 games on steam that use it already without telling users. They all do the same shit of generating dummy accounts EDF does but in the background.EDF made the grave mistake of actually telling technically inept room temp IQ gamers what is happening.
>>683749248Since you're a faggot who bends over and takes it up the ass from anyone, how about you let me have a go, huh? Shut the fuck up, pussy, and choke on my cock, since you just let anyone do whatever to you.
>>683749402>using PUID (product-userID) tokens to communicate with the back-end.So does EDF6I'm playing the game and don't have EGS shit.
>>683749171I've played games that can crossplatc with epic and NONE of them require an account.
>>683749493>don't have EGS shit.Oh nonononono
>>683749423Name one game that isn't EDF6 which separately installs EOS onto someone's computer. I'll wait, dipshit. Hint: there are none, because that's not how EOS works.>>683749493>So does EDF6No it does not, faggot. You are forced to link an Epic account to your Steam account. Go spread your misinformation on Twitter, where you can use bots to boost your engagement. It won't work here.
>>683749529neither does EDF6...ask me how I know you haven't actually played the game.
do the needful and redeem the epic
>>683749493why are you lying on the interwebz?

>>683749580>Name one game that isn't EDF6 which separately installs EOS onto someone's computerMegaton Musashi Wired
>>683749693this game is goyslop, never post these greentexts again. Read the room.
>>683748667It works but only after you're in the lobby meaning you still have to make the account and have it installed. It just proves that EOS is not technically needed.
>>683749580>Game installs EOS as part of the game itselfCrickets>Game installs it separatelyAAAAAAAAAA IM BEING SPIED ON!
>>683746931Doesn't the game stop working if you remove EOS though
>>683749741that was put there by the devs themselves AFTER the blacklash.
>>683749658It's true. EDF is a series that's meant to look and run as bad as possible to evoke 60s/70s B-movie feelings. It's literally intentional.
>>683749841the lobby is part of the game, so yes it does stop working. You need EOS to access the lobby, but you don't need EOS for the gameplay part of the videogame
>>683749783>Game installs EOS as part of the game itselfThat's not what the word "install" means, retard. Having a library on your computer does nothing by itself. That is not what's happening here. It is actively installed as a separate program, that won't even be deleted when you uninstall EDF. You need to go out of your way to remove it. Grow some braincells, idiot.
>>683747857>Thanks for the spoilers..Oh woopdefucking do the game is years old already and the "story" is a joke. You get through the tutorial in literally 20 minutes before you get time traveled back to EDF5.
Holy moly, what on earth am I supposed to bring to Mission 8 as a solo Ranger on hard? I can't out DPS these aggressive monsters, and the AI vehicles are outta fuel or something. I can't defend this crater!

>>683719982Are they fucking stupid? If free GTA V wasn't enough for a person to make an EGS account, what makes them think fucking full price EDF would?
>>683749171Indians are a bizarre breed to see

>>683749969HAVE SEXSTOP PLAYING THIS SHIT
EDF has betrayed gamers.
>>683750090EDF is worth five gtas
Look Sweeney's a smug cunt and I will not be using anything related to epic as long as hes CEO.
>>683750149Buy the DLC please. After this fiasco, they're gonna need the money to avoid bankrupcy.
>>683750149Outdated backwards Japanese logic, don't try to understand it
Any lobbies?
>>683750232If devs sold their game for ten bucks less on egs I'd buy it there. But they never do that.
>>683750079that's only if you uninstall EOS, you need EOS for the game to launch. It's part of its infraestructure. The game was built for EOs.
I've seen people say online that previous EDF games allowed pirated copies to play with pals onlinedo you guys think the crack will get better and allow for something?
>>683749931They also intentionally designed the UI to be as dogshit as possible and require needless online services to be installed that during an actual game can be turned off to no detriment. Just like those B-movies
>>683750232>Kills unreal tournament in your path Masaka....
>>683750250Gladly will when I'm actually permitted to
I'm gonna try running into the crater with some C20, this'll go great.
Anyone else falling for the doomers? I was enjoying the game but now I just feel like the game is bad. I might try to refund this. I don't know.
I blame Gura, the cumbuds, and Hololive. Hopefully this flops so there won't be anymore vtubers in the future.
>>683750394I already can
>>683749998>Bro handing over my data was so easy!Okay?
>>683750394>retarded pirate nigger is so stupid he can't even read the thread he's in>>683725678Game doesn't work on pirated copies.

>>683750396>They also intentionally designed the UI to be as dogshitThat's called SOVL
>game is good because it has Epic Game Store on the coverSaid no one ever. Fucking shills man, they piss me off.
>>683750506>Game doesn't work on pirated copies.It does, you just need to accept EOS
>>683750442Refund, get your $60 back, spend it on a better game that won't require spyware on your computer to run even in singleplayer.
>>683750618LMAOat that point might as well buy the game
>>683750470>>683750618really? just log in with a dummy epic account?
>It's a red drone mission
>>683750669For me it's either buying a game OR making a bullshit online account. EDF decided to force me on this issue. Refunded then pirated
>>683750561The first search result I got determined that this is a lie
>>683741490Crossplay with EGS, and the best part is that EDF on EGS is regionlocked to Japan only.
>>683750837Of course they're not going to advertise it
>>683750561>Bro the AMERICAN government already has your data!>Why not give it to the CHINESE government as well?!Retard. Stop digging your own grave and go lie face-down in it until you die.
>>683750942Why not? Gaben is our ally.
>ITT: /v/ learns that you can't implement cross platform multiplayer on hopes and dreams alone, you need software and servers too
>>683750470pls tell me how i am retard
>>683750968He's right tho, the chinese government is way more benevolent than the american one.
>>683720231kek
pretty weird that the steam installation doesnt mention EOS at all.piratenigs are theo nly ones affected by this
>>683749741https://archive.is/lNdze It was added like 6 hours after release when reviews hit 40%.
>>683751029>what is peer to peer and/or self hosting your own servercrossplay is a retarded buzzword
>>683750942Ok but it's easy to figure if it is being done because every other company that has done it in large enough quantities to make sense have been exposed for it
>>683751184>pretty weird that the steam installation doesnt mention EOS at all.You will literally get a "DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING EOS" popup the first time you launch the game. If you don't get this, that means you already have the Epic Gay Store installed on your computer, shill-faggot.
>>683751029EDF doesn't have cross-platform play, moron. The Epic Gay Store is not a platform, nor will it ever be. There is no crossplay with consoles.
>>683751238kys
>>683750485>my data >a steam username and easily faked dateyeah the chinese are really going to pwn me with this
>>683751205That's just asking for hackers to break your computer
>>683751314You got absolutely busted you dumb little brown zoomer. Go jerk off to dogshit again
>>683751325>We swear this service we separately installed on your computer isn't sending us data, goyim. ;)Try again, Rajesh. Put some effort into your talking point this time.
>>683751384I'm out. I don't go on the internet to be insulted by this. Fuck this. it's not worth it.
These are the only EDF threads we're ever going to get again huh
Lobby:/v/dfM26
>>683745428Throw in required Devono with Chinese DLC and I'll take two of each.
>>683745428>Accidental rerelease
>>683750940>EDF on EGS is regionlocked to Japan onlyGod damn it
>>683751450maybe they shouldn't fuck up the game with bloatware4.1 and 5 ran just fine in terms of online connection but only now is it giving me issues
Let's say you are a game dev and you are with these EDF chucklefucks for 3 years. Would that even qualify as work experience? Surely even indie dev would look at EDF6 and think what the fuck is this PS3 looking dog shit being sold in 2024?The games are fun, but come the fuck on.
>>683751450Expected when we get a sudden surge of negativity couple weeks before release.
>>683751450You get what you deserve for shitting on helldivers.
Well, I refunded it. It was scummy to hide the EOS requirement until release date and at full $60 price, there is little charm to be had with no graphical options like v-sync or having the game run above 30fps with drops into 15fps on a 4090 and 7800x3d. I'll review purchasing the game when it's $16 like the previous game is on cdkeys.
>>683751450Next time don't release an indie quality dlc riddled game for AAA price.
>>683751636Larping Poorfag. Game runs fine in my machine
bring back the ip counter
>>683751815Nofunallowed.jpg
>>683751450you fags deserve every bit of spite for shilling your rehash trash
>>683751647>indie quality dlcaren't you being too harsh on indie dev?
>>683741108Upon launching the game, it installs the EOS.t. retard with all things techThis is the part that I find discomforting, mostly because I don't know the full extent of its functionality. There is also that list showing tons of other games use this service as well, but were they installed in the same overt manner as edf6?
>game starts in the future and doesn't let you use fun Air Raider stuffthis stuff pissed me off more than the fucking epic stuff, what the fuck was the idea behind that
>>683719982Played whole fucking nightI'm loving this game so farI only wish this game was $30-40 instead 60, can't able to convience my friends to try this even on pirated copy :(
>>683752074Do you type like a retard on purpose or are you merely the 2nd most disingenuous shill present here tonight?
>>683751450I Lovin 6 so far but cmon $60+20(dlc) is to much plus EOS
Is there still no way to limit armor and weapons in offline mode
Buy now!
>>683752050That's like 10 missions anon
>>683751636A wise choice, anon.
>>683752334>out for half a day>already 12 DLCsWhat the fuck.
>>683752334>all invalidated within the first 10 missions
>>683752401>out for 2 yearsftfy
>>683752401It's been out for over 2 yearsD3P are the worst of the worst
Alright, I'll bite. Only because this is quite literally the only game all year that I was even remotely excited for, any other game and this would be insta-refund no questions asked.Is there any information regarding how EOS phones home, or otherwise what it does on your computer while the game is open? If it literally is just the back-end shit like in Ror2 and Elden Ring like the apologist shills have been saying, only D3/Sandlot is incompetent enough to just not integrate it properly without an external program then thats one thing but if this is just EGS-lite then we have a problem here.
>>683752476>>683752493Then it shouldn't have been $60 when it released in the West today. Or at the very least, it should've included the DLCs.
>>683750038STOP ASKING QUESTIONS
>>683752556D3PAre the worstOf the worst
>>683751736Bro..
First time seeing a Japanese game on Steam? They always launch with a dozen DLC packages, basically all of which are just the shittiest cashgrabbing scams either filled with Items that are worthless within 1 hour of play OR vanity outfits they nipped out of the base game to sell as individual DLCs.
>>683752074Actually, it just got a 10% discount haha
>>683752539Its exactly how elden ring works
>>683752598>I eat catshit everyday. I hate it but it is what it is
>>683752592
>>683752789Epic online services was not on my app list after I installed elden ring
>>683752962It was just buried in the game itself.
>>683719982Can some lawfag explain to me how this isn't illegal? Seems disingenuous to only make this a footnote in the system requirements.
>>683753023Oh why didn't EDF do that then?
>>683751450blame d3p or epic
>>683753065Sandlot and D3 are not...the smartest group
>>683752789But how do we KNOW that? How do we even know what Elden Ring is sending since Epic's involvement with these games is obviously news to a lot of people.>>683752962Again I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that computer illiterate Japs are just too stupid to integrate it properly, that doesn't excuse the Epic account thing in MP but that is not e personal concern of mine so I personally am willing to sidestep that part of the issue, provided it's otherwise safe.
>>683720231walter helmet
>>683753065That is the question everyone wants to know. The only reason this shitnado is happening is because they didn't do it like that.
>>683752539Other games use the EOS library to connect to EOS backend services.EDF6, for whatever reason, forcibly installs the EOS service on your computer and refuses to boot (even if you just want to play singleplayer) without. Shit stinks.
What mission do you unlock the Air Ranger's full arsenal to play with? I like the drones but I want to use my Rocket Cannons again too.
>>6837474261 slot openNow at mission 38
>>683732840>You people: Indicating a foreigner's opinion>Take a stand: "how dare you goy have an opinion">Most retarded innocuous shit: "why do you care about who gets your data? That's anti-semantic"Shoo, jew!
>>683753193The fact it could've worked without any additional installation is infuriating in so many ways.
>>683753140You need an epic account + eos installed to play solo btw. No idea why you fags are okay with that
>>683754015I still haven't installed the game because of this so saying I'm "okay" with it as I actively say I'm not happy about it and try to gather more information is reaching, but from what I've seen you do not need an Epic account to play single player, it only prompts you when you go to the MP menu. You do need the EOS installation - which is bullshit, but potentially harmless if it's just stupidity at play, that's what I'm trying to find out - but the account itself sounds optional if you do not intend to play MP, which I don't.
>>683750940Oh that explains why the season pass is only on EGS
>pirate game>it still updates for freeThanks tim.
>>683750940I can see it in Australia
