Has anyone played this?
I have had a $20 steam card laying around for a while, and I think I might pick this up.
I played one of the Age of Empires game back in the day and liked it.

Any thoughts?

Warcraft 3 fans who are pissed at Blizzard over their remake tried to push for people to spend their refunds on this game instead, and thats literally all I know about it besides playing the original some time ago. <_<

LOL that's rather political for a game release.
Pretty sure the last time I played an incarnation of either game was 20 years ago.

some of these newer campaign missions are hard as fuck though

I played the shit out of the original AOE2, never played any of the expansions or rereleases though.

I remember 3 being meh, and absolutely nothing after that.

Rise of Nations was the best though if you are looking for some RTS nostalgia glory.

Ahh, and it is significantly cheaper.
I guess they are both Microsoft games, and Steam is going a sale on MS games.

it's one of the best remakes/remasters of a game I have ever played. both in terms of being a fun game and also in terms of expanding and improving on the original in good ways instead of just making things worse. they added a ton of civs, improved the AI and pathing and mapgen and graphics and online play, everything's just so much smoother and since it's new it also means it's still getting balance patches to fix problem spots which is really good

if you're into RTS it's definitely worth checking out

Ya, I'm pretty sure I am going to take the dive.
Maybe not tonight, because I won't be able to delve into it.
But it kinda seems like good timing.
Plus I've been sitting on the stupid card for over a year.
