Honestly I just come here to rant, but I agree so much…
-
The main issue with the DLC (not talking about the patch) is the price. 13 euros!!! Even with inflation, that’s burglary! I don’t have a problem with a campaign DLC, nor with including custom campaigns in the main game, but this price!
-
Pathing! WHY? Please, just, why?
-
Still no feedback, communication or apologies about Return of Rome… That is so absurd.
-
Chat filter. What if, crazy idea, they tried to treat people like adults?
-
Speaking of which, I must say I ‘dislike’ (let’s moderate our words ourselves) everything in their communication. Here is a snippet:
We’ve got some big surprises still waiting for you along these lines and they’ll take their own form as we continue to work on entertaining you in new ways, so to the extent that you enjoy and support Victors and Vanquished, we fully intend to keep Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition like a year-long Christmas tree with the presents piled high (without getting clothes from Grandma – cool toys only).
but I could honestly have taken anything. Is it just me, or is it tiring being talked to like a five years old (I am disproportionally too nice, 5-years old me would have despised anyone talking to me like that). Good, you tell us about surprises. Nice! Genuinely. But most of us are actually adults.
- Now I will conclude saying one nice thing: they make the UI better (thinking of drop-off button, etc.), which is nice to see, and there are improvements to CaptureAge. Moreover, as I said, more theme-focused DLCs are a good idea… as long as the prices match the content. And I genuinely think the scenarios in V&V are great, but it is only five new scenarios (which I have not played yet).
