Someone really either read "All you need is kill" or watched "Edge of Tommorow" on shrooms to come up with something like this. Story borders genius and pure trip Sseth is probably best person to review that game, lol
He mentioned re zero because thats basically Fear and Hunger and All You Need Is Kill combined. Subaru has no permanent xp whatsoever, he learns nothing from farming, he even has a broken mana pool as a support skill tree that takes CENTURIES to shift to dps if he repairs it. He just needs to beat the current scenario with pure knowledge and willpower until he knows all the options of his enemies.
This game can be summed up with: "Let the neurons hit the floor!" "Let the neurons hit the floor!" "Let the neurons hit the floor!" "Let the neurons hit the floooooooooooor!r"
Instant death... Oh, well, not really since they paradoxed the aliens out of existence, so the EDF doesn't exist anymore too and humanity will continue without knowing what they did... maybe the main guys of the EDF will still remember but nobody else will.
@@CatBitchNami Considering that EDF won the Destiny Duel against god, I have no doubt that EDF just keeps going telling people that "yeah, we time paradoxed the aliens out of existence. What of it?" Completely ignoring that they shouldn't exist anymore.
To quote Sseth's review of Doom Eternal the plot is "merely a contrivance" to facilitate the brutal slaughter of aliens using the full defense budget of Lockheed Martin.
I'm convinced EDF's time travel rules are confusing on purpose just as a jab against your typical time travel plotline. Funnily enough, it actually makes more sense than a lot of other time travel stories out there.
I like it when time fights back and doesn't allow itself to be explained. When time has a semblance of sentience all bets are off and no nerd in glasses would tell me, that "they should've used this or that time model"
On one hand, they're telling you repeatedly that the enemy has armour, like we're stupid. On the other, I watched a videogame streamer play Space Marine 2 and struggle with hitting ranged terminids for *over a realtime hour* before he so much as _touched_ the "aim" button. The "special" treatment is unfortunately necessary.
@@gunner38EDmy only real gripe about the new system is that air raider can no longer play support the way he used to. Why they locked ALL of his support equipment behind the backpack is beyond me.
"when you gotta play a game, you gotta play a game" Preach, brother. Was trying to go cold turkey on games but the itch can't be scratched with other easy hobbies.
It's basically the same dopamine hit you get from playing a Musou title. Go through level. Get stronger. Feel good when you go through level again faster because you are stronger.
The story may be a meme but I think it’s a unique way to contextualize video game mechanics into a story. Things like replaying the same levels, differently colored enemies being stronger, and acquiring more powerful weapons are all familiar concepts, but it’s all given a narrative reason to exist.
As a fencer main of all the things I want for fencer there is only 2 things I want. A shoulder mounted laser guide kit that is level 90 weapon for balance and it does nothing to enhance lock on time all it does is allow you to use guide kit weapon and thats all and you have to give up a weapon slot for it. Second thing I want is a heavy weapons that require support to use needing another weapon slot equipment that allows you to use heavy weapons like having mech guns on the fencer or a smaller version of the titans cannon.
fencer got nothing to be fair fencer was perfect (they did change fundamentally how a lot of his core weapons function for the better) the suicide bombers are pretty easy to walk away from, though the big ones really need to be shot. the problem with letting them suicide though, is if they die from their suicide animation, they don't drop loot. and really if you're not going to get loot from your enemies what's the point? :^) easy and normal are basically the same, the enemy health and damage is just severely nerfed on easy. hard enemies have better ai and the weapon scale progression is different, which is going to change what your loadouts look like on each mission compared to normal. hardest and inferno have different spawns and a few new surprises in some missions, and have completely different starting weapon limits as well as extremely steep weapon progression. high level weapons are not just the low level weapons with bigger damage numbers, they are exponentially better. more range, more accuracy, bigger mags, and other unique craziness. it is a very unique experience using them vs their low tier counterparts. as an alternative to cheat engine: just get mods. there are pretty great mods concerning loot (like lootmaster which automatically picks up all boxes at the end of the mission) on the nexus. they're quite easy to install and don't require you to futz with cheat engine.
@@CatsOverdrive No I actually agree. I sat there and back to back 100% ed (🤨) 2025 and 4.1 and the DLC’s..took about 3 years even cheating using the 2 control pad method when my best pal wasn’t with me. I even used to leave a wing diver facing the sky on the last nest of a mission with a master rapier farming for hours…3 years!🤨. As a side note I smashed out EDF portable on the Vita during the same time
@@SherdogCreep Ah, ok. I got into EDF because of 4.1. then got into that World Brothers game, and then EDF 5, didn't finish both. I have no desire to get into EDF 6. It's pretty much like the FarCry Blood Dragon to me; the later titles did add things and improve on other aspects. But FCBD is a rock-solid, compact run through of how the franchise feel, that I'd often recommend anyone curious to the series to try that one out first. I'd often recommend anyone curious to get into EDF4.1, rather than getting into the newer stuff.
It's been a while since I played EDF 4.1 relative to 5 and 6 but I still hold 4.1 in high regard. Definitely had some of my favorite missions in EDF history (Brute Force), and the best voice acting (from voice actors like Richard Epcar, Jamieson Price, Sam Riegel, etc.). That said, EDF 6 is absolutely amazing (outside of the 13 mission prologue) and I'm hooked. Already completed a solo playthrough on Hard as Wing Diver, now I just gonna continue playthroughs with my mother, my brother, and my best friend (all three different playthroughs).
Well said, I had this same debate with my best pal..I think there is a “Brute Force” mission on EDF 5..hoping for an equivalent on 6. Also, the ability to play Inferno as a mere weak mortal with shit weapons is actually one of the games charms…and a hardcore challenge in itself!
@@SherdogCreep the EDF5 Brute Force closest comparison does exist in EDF6 (not the one where the tons of kaijus show up, the one where the railguns show up) albeit modified because time travel.
@@josephpolk9660 Thanks for that!. I love the premise of Brute Force…just an open field. Probably the first ever mission I played over and over again to farm when 2006/7 when EDF 2017 hit the XBOX..either that or crimson 👌🏻
The truly amazing thing is, this is essentially like Doctor Who. In Doctor Who when people keep messing with the same place and time over and over trying to prevent/ensure something happens, at some point time itself gives up and goes 'ALRIGHT THAT'S IT, I'm time-locking this madness and now NO ONE can time travel to here again!' and whatever it was, it becomes a permanent part of time and space. EDF is just that, but with the final event being dictated by a bloody fight to the death lol.

19:26 "If they solved the problem too early, then they never needed to solve the problem, and will never solve the problem." Don't ask me, that's the glue sniffing alien's logic.
@@robofreak425 They can travel through time at will with hyper advanced aircrafts; but can't hack into human communications and historical records to find the single most defining historical event in human history? Torture would work fine as well then too, because most of humanity will know about it, because I'm sure the humans have rather detailed accounts on where and when that thing crashed. But most people aren't trained in withstanding torture. And even if that information were highly classified, chances are those things get leaked. And if some random alien you know nothing about would ask you if you know anything about a crashed UFO, even if it's just rumors; wouldn't you tell it that some people say that a UFO crashed in 1947?
The plot isn't that complicated, Sseth kind of makes it sound insane. I for the most part liked 6, but it doesn't hold up compared to 5. Which is ironic because thanks to my 200+ hours in EDF5 I recognized all the copy and pasting in 6. That 80% is accurate regardless of plot reasons. I think the one thing I really didn't like about 6 was the lack of cheese and camp that was in 5.
