Dev needs to understand that the only reason they were given the green light to make another expansion is because so many people purchased this game on release. They didn’t purchase the game because you guys did a great job, they purchased it because they loved and enjoyed the original game and assumed you guys would top the original.
Unfortunately, your game was a disaster, it’s not fun, it’s boring. Please, at least try to figure out why the original was fun, you owe it to the community.
Most of my steam friends are all going back to EE. I had one friend who just got back and said he wasn’t going to play Retold because there’s too much to learn again, instead he wanted to play EE.
imo this game is a failure, time to do a major turn in the direction of the game, perhaps force AQ for military.
Remove rechargeable gps, put a limit on population. Try to make the game as similar to TT as possible, that game was a masterpiece.
Interesting opinion. I guess its divisive between the people that wanted a graphics update and the ones that wanted something more.
Personally i like retold. I like the New ideas and changes and it feels a breath of fresh air for an old title.
That being said, i dont think its easy to make players happy that chase nostalgia. EE has several issues which was the whole reason retold was ever considered to be done. Since the Extended Edition came short to being a proper game loved by the community.
Theres always gonna be people that cant take change, wont learn New things, specially for aom demography thats its on the older adult side of things compared to current games. It would be nice if there was a lobby toggle for old Mode or similar to grant players that dislike whats new.
Good thing is people can always go back to the previous game of they cant tolerate whats new.
This is false. And you have EE to compare. Which was a complete failure and thus no future plans for it where made and a new retry was done with this game. The fact that retold continues yo get funding for New projects is due to how well it has done in sales which means they did things well. The game isnt perfect and you can point flaws or things you dont like, but retold has been great for most of the original playerbase. If it wasent, you would be certain people would ignore it and move back to AoT (like they did with EE).
I totally get what you’re saying. Before the patch that nerfed TCs and villagers, the game was really fun and enjoyable. You could play with any pantheon and there were plenty of build orders available. But then, these bad influencers started criticizing the game on YouTube, they wanted it to be more like that s**% AOE4, and now the game has become slow and boring like AOE4.
Retold changes were welcomed. Some changes may have been wrong, but overhaul it was good decisions. I liked OG, but I like Retold too, the recast system, the wonder age, some few changes/reworks. I like the innovation and reworks, to keep the game ‘‘alive’’.
Sometime the old graphicals miss me, I would have loved an option to get them/switch beetwin the 2 like reforged (it’s only good decision… since THIS game was a real disaster) but I like retold graphicals they are good and close to the OG.
I think the problem is that the high elo players are too listened, but it’s not SC2, AOM is not a very competitive game. They need to focus more on the average players, because it’s them that buy the DLC and keep the game alive.
More mapping/modding options would be nice, and more modes like arena/gauntelet, it was good content.
I think they should make new campaigns pack with the characters we used to love. I like the japan/china campaign but it’s not that much missions (especially china) so you miss something, that vibe of the old characters.
My 3 complains would be the fact that the developpers need to track/work more on bugs. And they didn’t made the olds maps/scenarios portable on retold, which is a shame. And yes… the voices were not as good as the original, they should have keep them.
