fr, I just bought this game yesterday and idk why the hate? its such a beautiful game and ive been an aoe veteran since aoe 2 released

Same here, playing since release with small breaks in between and love playing it. Sure, some bugs/mechanics are annoying, but the game is slowly improving. Love to play the game with friends, especialy Nomad!

Bro i love the game aswell but like all my friends find it boring so thats why i dont play anymore bcs i have no one to play some fun challanges with

Lol no they don't

I have average good computer and still stick to aoe2.

​@@KeepCalmCapybara good luck playing aoe4 with an average computer

@@maxmustermann3811 I don't play it though. I am good with AoE II. I was just stating that not every aoe ii player must have trash computer. There are many who simply like aoe ii more than the other games. Aoe II is a living classic for me. Been playing it since youth. It's nostalgic and good. Not saying the others are bad, I enjoyed them too, but I like AoE II the most.

sadly a mod like this doesnt exist@@IgnacioAguilarToledo

maybe the style they have now benifits how good the game runs (just a guess tho)

With aoe3 de graphics

I started to realize that the better graphics in a troubling time with people not able to get good computers, means less chances to play, or just too high on the graphics that a somewhat decent computer still can’t run the game

yet, AoE2 prize pool in tournaments has double the amount of AoE4 this year. Its like MS still want people to watch AoE2 events over AoE4 or something.

​@@tigera6or, actually, there are more people watching and playing AoE2 so they think they will make a higher investment into a prize pool back, as a moneymaking corporation 🤔

@@mario-k. I am not saying they shouldnt support AoE2, they definitely doing it right. But I am saying it seems that they have given up on developing AoE4 pro-scene and tournament just 2 years after releasing the games is way too immature. Unless the game just sucks and nobody buying which, but thats not the case here.

​@@tigera6 They wanted aoe4 to have its own viewer base independent from other titles, however with the disastrous start and aoe2 players giving it up, the prospect is bleak even if they already fixed the game. So it make sense that aoe2 has higher prizepool, although aoe1 still have the largest viewers.

@@CrnaStrela I think AoE2 has the most diversified viewer base, as opposed to AoE1 which focused around 2 -3 countries. But I thought the fix on AoE4 is well received, so they should try to push forward with the plan to create more popularity for the franchise. Its just strange to see a new but well-established game not receiving as much support as older ones.

Glad you like it

Totally and wholeheartedly agree. Also, the fuck with the guy saying the game hadn't enough focus on competitive multiplayer at launch, like, wtf... This game is the WORST in the series for single player content by far... and online was the main focus and it still is...

Yep. I wonder why people still like medieval warfare. Why not go for Renaissance and Colonial stuff instead.

I prefer the medieval age but prefer AoE 3 DE however. AoE3 DE is the best of the series.

Gamepass makes up a very small percent, but yes that would add a little

I play on game pass and I love it. Started playing aoe as a wee lad in the late 90’s then stopped playing for around 17 years but just picked it back up about three weeks ago and it was like riding a bike. I never forgot. In that 17 yr hiatus is wasn’t like I forgot about aoe either. I continued to love it even though I stopped playing it. I think the new one is great and I play it daily. Can’t wait for the new civs and other content coming out next month!

Even the 1 is sill alive in vietnam ... XD

The ai is great now, can actually build walls lol

@@lucasyeah7974 given that AoE1 has received remaster, well, first, it actually had a bit of popularity hike. Though it's still weird then when somebody suggest to play AoE it may mean 4 different games with equal probability:D

​​@@TheArklyteremember that activision blizz idiot that decided to call random patch for Overwatch as "Overwatch 2" for a reason "its sad that when new game in series released everyone abandon previous one" well he can take notes from AoE devs althrough probability is not equal, AoE 2 still at the top as live classic, and i'm a bit sad that my beloved AoE 3 are second from the end with AoE 1 probably most rare. But one can argue that Age of Mythology are also part of Age of Empires series and then AoE 3 is just at the middle of the chart. I think when Retold be released it will be higher by player count than all other than AoE 2. If they will not screw that game ofc

@@AtticusKarpenter AoE2 also has the biggest and most dedicated balancing team. On the other hand as far as I'm aware, AoE3 didn't receive QoL remaster yet. Automated scouts incoming;)

They took AOE 2 and AOE 3 and smashed them together, with AOE 3 being a bigger contributor. Very poor business decision. And it was obvious they received harsh criticism from an early testers since most pre-release studio commentary was done from by marketing and social media employees.

@@joaocherrydon9413 Not at all. Its doing well and growing. Eventually it ll pass aoe2. Which is only still fun for people with nostalgia issues. For me 2 is one big cheese fest. And so slow....Its a taste thing ;-)

​@dcolu I don't think you play aoe2 competitively as you are calling it a cheese fest. Others is preference no problem. Balance is better in aoe2. Just because of nature of shared tech tree

@@PolanaAnurag Actually , I attempted to do that, and stopped pretty fast. Got walled in, castled in and more ... several games in a row. Even double chees in 2 vs 2. Friends had a similar experience. Its just so gimmiki, in my opinion. In aoe 4 I have not had much of that...maybe a Mongol Tower rush... Balance may be better in aoe 2, which does not need to exclude cheese strats ...also...it would be bad if balance wasnt better after all those years. That said, balance in AOE 4 is pretty good already ;-).

@@dmeolu Well it isn't cheese really. Aoe 2 multiplayer starts you at about 1000 elo. People are quite capable at that level. The gameplay has been figured out and there are plenty of guide on how to improve. Most new players experience a string of losses before experiencing their 1st win. The problem with Aoe 2 is not about gameplay or balance. It is the elo system. 1v1 new players start too high (It should be 800 or so for it to be a better exp for new players) and in teamgames it was messed up from the start (some players went till 4000 elo in teamgames). The devs did a reset and now things are slowly coming back atleast in teamgames.

The aoe4 visual aesthetic is extremely off putting to me. I don't know why they didn't try to replicate the aoe2 style but in 3d instead of having a weird modern look and golden hallucinations building structures etc.

It's called landmarks.

bots, all online service numbers are boosted by bots microsoft gave up on AoE4 in favor off milking AoE2 and its loyal fanbase

@@SkreltNL i fear that may be true :(

Unfortunately AOE2 has more players. Still higher than other AOE games.

@@SkreltNLHow do u know it ?

Master piece ? Hahahahahaha

I'm totally wanted it. 1890-1930 tech divided in 4-5 eras, because its highly unexplored time period in RTS. There is so much medieval and WWII RTS, much less early gunpowder rts as AoE 3 and like nothing about WWI and decade-another in both sides despite military tech gap between AoE 3/Total War Fall of the Samurai and WWII being immense. But they are clearly tried to stick closer to AoE 2 because of its populatity and low popularity of AoE 3 that tried into innovations. And AoE 2 nerds just remained in AoE 2 instead of switching to AoE 4 because its in strange limbo of being many several key decisions being copies of AoE 2 (return of drop off points, conversions, stone, time period itself) and many other very brave and innovative like most of civ unique mechanics like Rus' bounty, Mongol mobile base or Bysantine olive oil for mercs and water supply. So its not innovative nor conservative. But i appreciate that devs clearly love its game trying to create interesting mechanics instead of making Definitive edition of a Definitive Edition of AoE 2

Given the lackluster nature of aoe4 a new game set in the 19th century might have been the better idea in hindsight

Lo que mas abunda en el mundo son moscas comiendo mierda.

Lol no. What you must compare to is to other recent RTS games like Iron Harvest, and to AoE 3 and 1 Def editions. AoE 2 is not only most popular game from the release, but also have most active support now, its stupid to compare other games to the golden child. This is literally Rockstar CEO "Red Dead Redemption must be closed as its generate not as much money as GTA V despite being newer" logic

aoe3 campaigns are far worse considering that they are not history based

​@@eberlaztingwho cares about history

Huh. Isn't this literally Age of Empires 4!? Like it's literally on PC as well.

There is two kinds of disgusting people, one is call all pixelart (and old) games garbage and other call all graphics newer (but not photorealistic) than times of their childhood as "mobile" fuck both kinds, learn to fucking expand your laser-narrow art preferences

im level 80, just by playing campaign... during multiplayer matches i get wrecked :( and the noobs matches doesnt accept me hahaha

Idk if they changed it but at launch the longbows were severely under powered and couldnt do anything. I hear you though im just not good at proxy rts games where you need to be spamming units every second. Its pseudo strategy.

@@trolltalwar i also like to build my empire... Walls, castles, houses, mills, wonders, etc etc.. rushing is not my thing ahahahah

Yea i feel the same. The problem is that players follow beasty and some other pros guides and every match up is the same. People dont make new tactics and built orders are worshipped. Most of the time if you dont play the meta you cant win with ease. Team games are fun tho

I agree!

@@TerahAsh Idk man people really didn't like AOE 3 and that was colonial. WW1 also wouldn't give that feel of building massive fortresses and destroying them. Because well. WW1 was just lots of trenches.

Yea

Too many people liking the AOE 2 feel.

Graphics are stylized, not meant to look realistic except with simple cartoon style lighting. I played aoe3 a lot so was kind of bummed that the next game did not have a more realistic art direction

use reshade and you will see a next gen game

It is used, just in a very late stage of the game, it’s called the Great Bombard and is only available to the ottomans

@@MrMerlinAoe4 I’ve never seen in hundreds of matches. Shouldn’t they make it actually useful?

@@ilansobel1631 It is useful, it's just not economical.

The bombard your girl tells you not to worry about

5-8 years of more studio effort, but since AoE 4 is focused on civilization assymetry, and actual empires like HRE and heterogeneous powers like Abbasids (Arabs, Egyptians, Iraqis of the era)

There's 6 new civs not 2. And the civs in aoe4 are all really unique, not reskins.

​@@DanielBlakwell now it have civ variants that range from really unique ones to moderate changes compared to main civ. I think this is still more different than AoE 2 civs but less than AoE 3 even inside one culture (Asians, Native Americans, Africans, Europeans and also USA + Mexico). Joan of Arc most unique (and barely possible to balance not being autowin nor garbage) civ in entire series of games though as its clearly isekaid from Warcraft 3 judging by mechanics.

All those civ variants were a mistake imo, they should have relegated it to a seperate gamemode and make it more polished It feels like they just added a half assed copy of every civ to the game which is not a good thing
