Why is EM5 "worse" or less entertaining/popular than EM4?

[piloto19hh]

Hi!

So, pretty much what is in the title. Why has EM5 had a lot less popularity than EM4? Is it less enjoyable? Is it that there just aren't that many mods? (And in that case, why are there less mods? Is the editor worse? I'm not a modder, so I don't really know about it)

For me, I've played EM5, and I still find myself playing EM4, and not EM5. And there are almost no mods for EM5, and there is still more content in YouTube and such about EM4 than about EM5. Oh and there are still mods comming out for EM4, and not so much for 5, too. So I assume that EM5 hasn't been too popular.

Why do you think it is like this? What would have made EM5 better than EM4?

Don't quote me on this because I really only heard it from watching a Northernalex video. Apparently it's that the map can't be changed for a mod? I might still be wrong I don't know thats just what I heard in the video.

I mean the graphics is good and animation but without mods it's not that great.

Actually i never played Em4 the vanilla game.

I played LA mod, NYC and the US army over the years and many other mods.

Maybe if EM5 modding was better then there will be more mods??

Also less mods made this community more dead also modders not allowing reuploading dead mods.

From what I understand, the biggest drawback in the communities is lack of modding options/support.  One of the reasons EM4 is so popular still is the amount of modding that can / has been done to it.  People have even rewritten the interface to a point with custom scripts, etc.
