The EDF on Vita was, if I remember correctly, actually released in the UK on the PS2. I think it was called Global Defense Force? The Vita one is just an enhanced version of that.
The PS4 one is Earth Defense Force 4.1, an enhanced version of EDF 2025. That's the one with added giant robots (which are slow as hell, but look oh so fun).
Still haven't gotten either one myself, but they're certainly on my list.
Oh, and kudos to all the Gravity Rush love. Got my copy the other day too, and it was just a pure joy to see it all gussied-up. Was already one of my favorite games, and this just makes it better.
Started playing Yakuza 5 again after leaving it alone for a while. Finished Saejima's chapter finally, which I wasn't really enjoying much after getting off the mountain, so now I've moved on to playing as... Haruka?
Shit.
I will say, the performance mechanics aren't too bad, but I don't particularly enjoy the dance battle stuff at all.
Ugh.
Anyone know how long this chapter is? I'd like to be done with it as fast as possible so I can move on to Akiyama or Mr. Baseball. Playing as Haruka isn't terrible or anything, but this really isn't what I play the series for. I'm not here to dance my booty off and make Japan love me with my glowing personality. I'm here to bash some fuckers' skulls in. And while I did really like the initial cutscene to it, explaining further why Kazuma had to leave the orphanage (one of my favorite scenes in the game up to this point), all this talk about pop idols is making me cringe so hard I'm getting face cramps. I already hate the whole Japanese pop idol "thing" with a passion, and all this talk about how it's their job to make people love them is making me hate it even more.
It's their job to make people love them? Not to make good music, or to entertain people, but to make people love them?
Gag me with a fucking chair leg. If I have one major problem with Japan as a whole, it's the cutesy parts of their entertainment industries. Can't stand that shit, and this chapter so far is playing right into it. Hope it ends quick.
