On PS4, I'm playing Ratchet And Clank 2016, with Monster Hunter World as a secondary. I think I'm done with Counterspy. On the Vita, I'm playing a little bit of EDF 2017, and EDF 2, helping others in co-op. I'm in 2 EDF chat groups. Also on Vita, still playing a little Rogue Legacy, and Grand Kingdom too. Hoping to get on the Vita tonight to start Dokuro. Usually don't play so many games at once. Strange days. I've been wanting to play Digimon Cyber Sleuth for quite a while. Still regret passing on the physical copy.

What kind of game is EDF anyway? I've heard it a lot before but don't really know anything about it.

And wow, that really is a lot of the games at once :O

EDF is a 3rd person shooter at it's core. It's evocative of Starship Troopers, in that giant insects are part of the enemy force, but you're also fighting against kaiju, as well mechanized enemies. Lots of set piece missions. 2-4 character classes depending on the game. The player levels up by picking up armor pieces on the battlefield, which increase HP, as well as weapon boxes which grant the player a random weapon from the very large list ( about 200 weapons per class ) of armaments. They are very light on story, and have a B-Movie vibe. EDF 2017, 2025 and 4.1 ( a remake of 2025 ), seem to take place in a different "universe" than, EDF 2 and EDF 5. Single player, or 2-4 player online co-op. All the games have split screen local co-op as well, or in the Vita's case, ad hoc system link. I like it! :)
