![]() ![]() I'm reminded of the saying that Firaxis is said to follow for each successive Civilization game: "one-third the same, one-third improved, one-third new". While it may not be the game that I or a lot of AoE II players were expecting (or wanted), it's a solid game in its own right, with clearly a ton of work that into making it. I was… disappointed that AoE III wasn't "AoE II but in the New World", but I gave it a fair shake even though it never quite clicked for me. I've put a combined 400 hours into the 2013 HD remake and DE, and who knows how many hours into the original CD version as a kid, where it was pretty much the only thing I played for two years. To establish my bonafides, I got AoE II at the age of 11 two years after it came out, and it was one of the formative games of my childhood (the first game I played online, on a dial-up modem to boot!). (Low-poly, for the original release, sure, though the DE release is a lot better.) Proof that low effort 3D versions aren't automatically better than 2D or old-school graphics.I wouldn't call AoE III low effort. ![]() My friends and I usually play versus AI and i have to mute them since they spam the taunts non stop. I got it as a gift and i feel bad for barely touching it.Īs for the filters, i can't say. Quoting: ElectricPrismBoth AoE 3 and AoE 4 have a review rating of 83-86%.Įdit: to clarify - If swear filters or gore are things a person wants - they should be "opt in" and not "opt out" - Serious Sam 3 is the perfect example of this where they replace all blood sfx with hippie flowers and it's just so much fun - because games are supposed to be games and not real life.Īge of Empires 4 however - i could never get into. Last edited by ElectricPrism on 3 August 2023 at 9:54 pm UTC In any case garnering more interest in the series is a smart move - they should have done this with 2 - then the masses would be in a swarm to play and buy more.Įdit: to clarify - If swear filters or gore are things a person wants - they should be "opt in" and not "opt out" - Serious Sam 3 is the perfect example of this where they replace all blood sfx with hippie flowers and it's just so much fun - because games are supposed to be games and not real life. Maybe by the time they make Age of Empires 5 they'll find a way to make it free-to-play and finally get the 3D right. Games of all things should not be influenced by "the church" of modernity (but that's a detail that I could write entire essays about). I really don't understand what is so damn hard - if Age of Empires verbatim copied the 2D sprite style in 3D and the exact mechanics 1:1 their game would score in the 92-98% easy.Īll this "New Crap" just annoys me and other gamers too - like "swear filters" taking the fun out of modern games.

Similar to Civilization V (96%) vs Civilization VI (85%) Article taken from .īoth AoE 3 and AoE 4 have a review rating of 83-86%. Will you be checking it out thanks to this? It has a Platinum rating on ProtonDB and it's Steam Deck Playable. ![]() While it's pretty much a glorified demo, it is a good thing to have. So perhaps now with this deal I might dive in a whole lot more. I grew up playing lots the original, and then AoE 2 and never really got to properly try the the third one.
