recycled missions

[ifyucantbeatmexd]

i was already dreading it but now that im actually playing it, i really think this game could've done without the recycled missions from 5

im actually shocked they're identical and not even slightly remixed to differentiate them from the original

they could've created entirely new missions using the setting from 5

i dont know how many missions are recycled because im only on m16 right now i think. but it definitely is an automatic point against the game. it's definitely lazy padding. ive already played those missions 4 classes * 3 difficulties (Hard, Hardest, Inferno) times + farming/retries

There’s like a few 1:1 copy paste mission
The other one copy come with it twist and change
Especially love the first two mission of edf 5

Honestly, I think they only needed one dose of that to make the narrative clear and then could have kept having thing derail from there every time. Heck, have a couple derail in your favor just to keep the player guessing the first time.

The two best so far have weirdly been the green timeline Tutorial and the return to EDF 5's Tutorial pair of missions. It's a bit of mood whiplash after the Green Timeline situation, but damn if it wasn't satisfying.

I'm on mission ~40 or so, and so far I only recognized like three missions as being "carbon copies" of their EDF5 equivalent, but even one of those one of the enemy types was replaced by a new variant so it wasn't the EXACT same mission.

To be honest I had the same reaction, "wait this is just EDF 5, what are they doing" but then... oh boy :D

just play, you see why they did that

lol and of course the mission right after i wrote this rant seems basically like a new one (at least i dont recall it from 5)

Even with the copied missions, the update to the graphics made some of those older maps look really nice! Didn't make it feel like a new map, but it was certainly noticeable.

I love 'em, it's the first EDF game I've played with so many story elements and the retreads are in service of that. I was particularly ticked to find that for the recycled missions even the menus changed back to EDF 5.
