The Best B-Movie You'll Ever Play | Earth Defense Force 5 Review 

IDK man, by the end of the game I was actually soooo damn invested with the story that I was teary-eyed during the final mission. The voice acting definitely carries the game when the narrative gets darker and it pulls it off quite well.

4:23, the story is made very important in EDF 6, the details and storytelling in 5 are worth listening to. It's a very compelling take on Total War with an Alien species mixed with underlying tones total despair at losing everyone you love and trying to save what little remains while trying to turn the tide. The voice acting in the game becomes far better by the end, actors sold the emotion of the events that occur.

As an Australian this was a very fun distraction from having to fight the bugs in real life 10/10 realism.

I love this game, got my friends into it too. I even imported EDF 6 for the PS5 its an absolute blast and improves on EDF 5 in many ways aside from class nerfs.

So, so happy to see you posting again. You’ve got a phenomenal sense of humor, scripts that I’d expect from a channel hundreds of times your size, and consistently make some of the best content I’ve seen. Welcome back.

Due to the lack of content in the last half a year or so I thought you've quit, but boy was I wrong 10/10 video can't wait for more

EDF has a specific way of telling the story. It isn't in your face and the most important plot points are either at the start, in between waves, or at the end of a mission so you do get a bit of an idea of what is going on and what you'll face next. The tone shifts a lot too. From happy, cheerful, and confident in the early missions to depressing, desperate, and fear in the later missions. It is simple but very effective. You wanna play the game to just blast shit into space? No problem. You're a nerd and wanna dive into the underlying story like most of us big EDF fans? The game got you covered. When I first picked up an EDF title, I was hooked for weeks. First for the sheer amount of ridiculous weapons and mindless shooting, then for the Inferno challenge, and then for the story. Right now I replay 4.1 with my BF who got hooked onto it too now. Then go to EDF5 and next year EDF6. One thing to note, when these games release, they are finished. No live service, no cosmetics, no battle pass, no half game and rest in DLCs. DLCs aren't even tied much into the main story here and are completely optional and offer more of a challenge and even great farming missions (Golden Darkness in EDF 4.1 DLC if you wanna grind for the best weapons for example)

1:31 So nice of famous Japanese Nationalist and Author Yukio Mishima, whom is also infamous for storming a military base in Tokyo as a part of a attempted coup de'tat, where he then convinced a fellow participant to behead him after he disembowled himself in accordance with Seppuku. For introducing Osamu Dazai (At least I think that is him), another famous Japanese author and lesser known Japanese Communist whom had a questionable mental state before his suicide, to the old Kaiju movies which then eventually led to the cretion of EDF.

Glad to see another upload from you! Will probably try EDF now, very different than what I imagined it would be. Great video as always!

Finally, a brand new Vladaddy video, keep 'em coming my man

Glad that Vlad finally returned in all of its glory

The most underrated series ever. Absolutely addicting games. Lol

bae wake up, Vladeposting uploaded a new video

I'm Belgian, I speak French, and.. Your humor is.. Absolutely INSANE 😂😂 I discover you channel because I'm a big fan of EDF, I hope you will make a video of EDF 6 ! Keep making people laugh ! Thanks !

TERMINAAAAAAAAAAAA YEAHHHHHHHHHHH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Love your videos man. I've seen you aren't having the best of times right now. Hope heavens bless you like you bless us with these videos 😔🙏

THE VIDEO WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, THIS IS REAL CINEMA

Wait my man i just notices you using a street of rogue song, Good taste brother good taste

Pure gold, your care/effort for your videos that is. It's been some time I've seen something as nice as your videos :)

the enemy roster of the EDF games is more varied that the an single game has bigger enemy variety then an entire franchise line of AAA games

I almost couldn't handle you name dropping Mount and Blade and Supreme Commander in 5 seconds

Oh shit I never thought you'd be doing edf!! I need to try this game again.

I think fencer without "skill issue" and two "mini"guns also applys to category "When doom music kikcs you in the balls". FULL MINUTE OF BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTR SHREDS ALIENS TO PIECES

5:55 nice starship troopers clip!

The craziest thing is all classes are insanely powerful if you master them. The ranger can corner camp and obliterate people with a sniper. The wing diver has a special pack that lets her dash in the air for free letting you never have to touch ground. The air raider commits war crimes outside. And the fencer is a chefs kiss once you get used to the movement

He's finally back!

Great to have you back!)

I've just seen Ssethtzeentach premiering a youtube video and this is the game he is talking about. What a coincidence.

"So why did you get married?" "....couldn't help it"

Always love seeing a video from you. Keep up the good work!

Didnt know much about the games before watching this but I do now, awesome video.

I'm sorry you got shafted in views by the tandem power combo of Mandalore and Sseth. I'll spot you and view the vid from start to end, since my friends recommend it lol

Nice new video Vlade!

VLADEKINO IS BACK ON THE MENU

Oh, boy, 2 EDF 5 reviews in a short span!

I have no idea why many people think it's required to farm armor to "play the hardest difficulties". The game is designed around progressing through all difficulties, one after the other. Literally play the game in normal, hard, hardest, and there you go : you'll get the armor and weapons required to advance. The weapons you unlock can't be taken where the level is inapropriate, so even if you manage to finish one inferno mission, you won't be able to use it in the lower difficulties.

Wing Divers are absolutely nuts man. They're a close to medium range glass cannon, but the DPS output is insane. Lances for example are very short ranged, but they charge practically instantly, use (mostly) minimal energy and deliver huge amounts of pinpoint damage. Even the most heavily armored aliens can be killed in just a couple shots with most lances if you can get into their range, eliminating them in literal seconds. Phalanx and Rapiers have the highest DPS of any weapon in the game, if you can get close enough they will melt bosses with hundreds and later thousands of damage per second. Unfortunately, Wing Divers also have the most amount of weapons that are just straight up bad. Mag blasters sound cool until you read that their damage drops off as you expend charge, falling from okay damage to literal super soaker before even reaching the halfway point. Pulse guns almost universally suck and are additionally a huge pain in the ass to aim. Throwables and special weapons are almost never worth taking in solo, but a couple of them can be a lot of fun in online missions.

Another instance of Paradise Killer ost, so I will be hoping to see a review of Paradise Killer itself

One of the best games I've played in my life, top 10 easily

Edf 5 is probably in my top 5 favorite video games of all time. Its just so much fun.

Glad to see you back man!

you can also do follow up with a video on modding the EDF games, also fun fact the maps size varies at 2 kilometers.

Its really the video Edf futur fan need to watch Best video i've seen so far and this Epic edit on the Air rider 11:29 its pure gold

The Legend has returned!

Big win for VladePosting chads i guess

Vlade I knew you'd be back! Look you've got over 7k! Remember when it was like 72?

Somehow the vehicle and mech here is better in my opinion than Armored Core 6

Paul Bart 3: Earth Defender

Hey Insect Armageddon is just fine. It was my first game then it was 2017 and onward.

11:32 oh hell yeah! AR for the win!

return of the kind

Poor iron rain maybe next edf we’ll get prowl rider

An amazing Review. Thank you.

not now babe vlade posted

2:23 true! Insect Armageddon was such a dissapointmenr. I only play the main franchise games now. No spin offs

Holy shit new vlade

i love the earth defense force series

fantastic fucking video, vlade, fantastic.

I'm WalkingWeapon on EDF 5

i watch Sseth and go right back here lmao

great write up and structure

Wing Diver's weapons are busted. Just pick Phalanx for anything close range, and whatever's required, be it long range or mid range.

The best game ever Can't wait for western release of EDF6

streets of rogue review when

I would love to see you review EDF Iron Rain 😂😂😂 Please consider \o/

God may have created man, but man created buckshot

What about EDF 6?

Now we need the discord server..

youre very funny ! you should have more subs

Commenting for the algorithm

What is the meme at 5:55

*EDF! EDF! EDF!*

Ground ball 😂😂😂😂😂

...Soredemo Tetsuma r guy as a meme😅

Eey yo i like stellaris very much all the way back when the fucking thing was nothing more than a buggy mess of unbalanced mechanics! And i got six hundred hours out of it because the endgame is just. So. SLOW. (Scream in ninety seconds/in game month at fastest) Not to say that i dont love EDF tho, been playing it since Global Defense Force all those years ago and it is very true that they just keep getting better! Well, for the most part.

is it dead? D:

Don't become another sseth, please stop making constant cuts for ADHD. Your vids are good. Maybe next you can do la Mulana?

EDF!

Wait I'm supposed to actually like and subscribe? I've just been making peepeepoopoo jokes in the comments...

I wish my friends would play...

bruh you turned the music off? 0/10 review

5 dolla

very fanny video

ground ball, together is actually one word that meant earth, u noob

Wa

Haha google translate is rubbish haha

9:50 - 11:54 Your Fencer gameplay clips is super painful to watch. Dash + Jump dude!! It's like I'm watching a Games Journalist play. 12:40 Wrong, Air Raider isn't the strongest. It's Fencer. Air Raider can't solo. Fencer can solo everything, even the DLCs at Inferno difficulty. You just don't know how to play Fencer right.

Im always the last guy alive and i always pull through and for some reason people always kick me.

Mamoru = defending (in Japanese). Ploit of EDF5 is pretty good, how dare you. And no, voice lines are higher in audio than explosions by default, it was you that probably llowered such to not hear sexy Wing Divers moans, getting not the game default experience.

edf 6 is coming this spring!
