History YMMV / EarthDefenseForceInsectArmageddon

** "Fleet Depleter", which requires you to destroy ''10,000'' Gunships. Of all the "Kill X enemies" achievements, this one is the most-hated; Gunships come at you in huge numbers, but not in giant clustered waves like Ants or Spiders that you can wipe out en masse with [=AoE=] weapons, usually requiring you to pick them out of the sky one at a time, meaning this one takes ''hours'' of grind. This is almost universally the last achievement all players earn.
** More like "That One Category of Achievements"; nobody likes the Survival Mode achievements because, as well as being incredibly grindy themselves (play through 500 total rounds anyone?), nobody likes Survival Mode in general.

** "Fleet Depleter", which requires you to destroy ''10,000'' Gunships. Of all the "Kill X enemies" achievements, this one is the most-hated; Gunships come at you in huge numbers, but not in giant clustered waves like Ants or Spiders (thank goodness), usually requiring you to pick them out of the sky one at a time, meaning this one takes ''hours'' of grind. This is almost universally the last achievement all players earn.

* GodDamnBats: The gunships are incredibly annoying. They have little health, but are quit small and fast, making them hard to shoot down without lock capable weapons. To top it off they have two different attack modes. Their laser pulses during which they will strafe you on the ground in a attack run, usually while you're busy dealing with other problems, and a high powered laser they fire after they stop for a short bit before going back to zooming around. Now throw in multiple gunships doing that and it gets really annoying.

** Any enemy that can attack you while you're trying to plant a demolition charge on an ant hole a an attack resets the progress bar.

* ScrappyMechanic: The main criticism of the game is that how the weapon power were toned down and has smaller capacity than the average EDF game.

** Any enemy that can attack you while you're trying to plant a demolition charge on an ant hole as a an attack resets the progress bar.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The NPC atmospheric dialogue. There are not a lot of recorded lines and they get repeated constantly.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Pretty much everything after you evacuate at the end of the final mission, assuming you complete it on Hard. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scsVrk7TBCg It gets even sillier if you complete it on Inferno]]. [[spoiler:Sully is also an ordained minister, Ops' name is really - no, ''really'' - Roger Ops, and Lightning Alpha's name is, yes, Lightning Alpha.]]

* MostWonderfulSound: The death sounds made by the spiders and cyborg spiders. It makes them so satisfying to kill, given how annoying they are.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A reaction from a subset of fans of VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce2017.
** Also, the shift in tone from a cheesy Japanese style to a cheesy American B-Movie style brought some complaints, too.

* HellIsThatNoise: The buzzing of wasps and cyborg wasps. It's pretty hard to hear unless you turn the music off though.

*** Which is why you ''suppress'' the Nest with heavy weaponry, as instructed by Intel and Ops. This forces the Nest into a sort of dormant, damaged state where it cannot spawn any bugs for a minute or two. Easiest with very heavy AOE weapons, like the Rav-Tech weapons from the Aerialist Munitions Package or the Tank's main gun. Usually keeps it shut long enough for you to clear out the nearby bugs and plant the charge.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A reaction from a subset of fans of VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce2017. Most of reactions are due to changes neccessarily made to the game to make it viable online. Features like the "ping pong" type physics of the bugs, the style of the explosions, and the way enemies hordes are handled.

* DemonicSpiders: Ignoring the ''actual'' spiders (though the Robot Spiders certainly fit this trope nicely), Wasps (namely Cyborg/Robot Wasps) border on this and BossInMookClothing. They are much, ''much'' tougher than most mooks even on Normal, and whilst they hover in one place a lot they also move very rapidly when they aren't hovering. They also have an attack like the Hunter from VideoGame/Left4Dead, pinning you to the ground and making it so you can't fight back as they hit you repeatedly. Finally, the cyborg/robot variant possesses an extremely powerful beam weapon that can do in excess of 200 damage with a full hit despite looking more like the Gunship's altmode laser.
* GameBreaker: The Battle armor's shield can withstand hits from ''anything'' that does damage. [[spoiler:This includes the secret [[NukeEm Pesticide weapons]], which just zero out the energy meter and leave you without a scratch. Inferno mode just got a lot easier.]]
* GodDamnBats: The new gunships are incredibly annoying. They fly faster and have smaller target profiles making them harder to shoot down without lock capable weapons. To top it off they have two different attack modes. Their laser pulses during which they will strafe you on the ground in a attack run, usually while you're busy dealing with other problems, and a high powered laser they fire after they stop for a short bit before going back to zooming around.

** The Ants coming out of an anthole you're trying to destroy. They come out faster than you can kill them. They are also present for fights with larger enemies providing additional threats and are a nuisance when you're trying to focus on the tougher enemy.
*** Which is why you ''suppress'' the Nest with heavy weaponry, as instructed by Intel and Ops. This forces the Nest into a sort of dormant, damaged state where it cannot spawn any bugs for a short time. Easiest with very heavy area weapons, like the Rav-Tech weapons from the Aerialist Munitions Package or the Tank's main gun. Usually keeps it shut long enough for you to clear out the nearby bugs and plant the charge.

** Robotic Spiders. Their attacks hurt more and on higher difficulties can damn near kill you with a jump attack. they also spam their web attacks like the old spiders.
