Anyone else concerned about the lack of a main plot?

X rebirth wasn't at all similar to the older X games

it was a lot like X1

You'd be surprised how many people seem to believe the series started at 2.

Because 2 expanded from 1 in a very BIG way. 1 felt a LOT more limited compared to 2 and 3.

It's like the RE games. Anything up to 3 in RE is a "different style". X2 and X3 has most of the same style. X1 was more like Freelancer then what X games became to be known as, which started with X2 as you could do a lot more that X1 simply does not have in any other X game.
