Does someone know why the gameplay looked incomplete in april? I mean most games trailer and gameplay a year before their release look already the same as the finished product. Or is it false. I dont watch many game trailers so I can be wrong. But other early gameplay often looks good at least if its not exactly like the complete product. ( I know the new Halo looked bad last year, but I think the devs accepted it and are working on it and pushed the release date. In aoe I dont know if the devs want to fix all things we said⊠It really bothers me that the game already looked good in 2019 and they made it worse not the other way around. If it was already good why? I m sad.

Are you talking about AoE 2 or 3? Maybe 1 ? Where is this data coming from? I play both.
And what is your conclusion any way? You claim that the âmajorityâ does something. Do you think the developers made a right decision on graphics for this one or not? Because that was the topic of the thread.
Spirit of the Law pointed out that all archers do that, pretty lazy imo

Seriously?
So according to you, âdonât like the game? well instead of giving criticism for the game to be better, dont play itâ
This mentality simply isnât helpful for both the players and the devs.

It is from DE version, they couldâve fixed it when they upgraded graphics and animations. The point is that no one cares
People are complaining about a lot of things that has the same or similar âissuesâ in previous titles.

Or it just isnât an important issue. In addition, this reveals the double standards of those who complain about an arrow in the knee, in AoE 2 DE it does not bother them, probably because they see the game from a birdâs flight height, and simply do not pay attention to it, but here for some reason they decided that will play the game with zoom. And yes, I understand that AoE 2 is an old game, but still it is a remaster in which all the animations were redone and so on, itâs just not something important, itâs a pity that not everyone understands this, in general, most people have very strange requirements and claims on this forum.

This is the same feeling I had with DOW3, that game look dull and generic, they removed so many good things from previous DOW games ( Superb animations, sync kills, graphics etc) for the sake of âreadabilityâ. It is the same here, probably I going to hurt some feelings here but with every new video I see about age iv, more and more I feel this is an Age of Generic 4

exactly same feeling here sir, thanks for calling it out. Can we just fire all those ppl and let forgotten empires finish and overhaul aoe 4 pls? ike aoe 4 de lol
they arent arguing with you, they added to your point. and offered a different perspective.
They said maybe people do care, but the issue is not that important ( other perspective, but same standpoint as you (and me))
And then said âIn additionâ adding something to both your opinions, explaining a bit further 
no arguing here

SoâŠyou dont care bout the gameplay? the basically most important part of a game? which IS very not generic.At all.
Or the environment (not meaning trees but rather spaces inbetween wwith stuff like automatically placed and updgraded streets/paths, more life in buildings etc)
Basically. He is one of the graphic glorifyers

This is really irrelevant for AoE 4 for alot of reasons, it is also arguably hard to confirm in AoE 2 as well. Here is why:
First of all, there are hidden âprivateâ lobbies that i think most people would play if they want to play âco-opâ or game with friends like what LAN used to be. Secondly, since that video got released AoE 2 DE has an extra quick play mode which is equivalent to unranked (which didnât actually exist as a matchmaking service, only in lobbies.) There are also 2 new modes to play multiplayer games, the Empire mode and the Battle royale mode. Both of these show the multiplayer community is way bigger than the ranked suggests.
Thirdly and most importantly⊠you may not appreciate this but this game has literally 0 support for multiplayer matchmaking. Especially in a competitive setting. Proâs play on private lobbies. There is always lag and stuttering that is caused by lag in 99% of the games. This is because of the technology the game is in. So even players like me that want to play ranked multiplayer mostly, get in AoE 2 for the nostalgia trip play a few multiplayer matches, play the campaign and then go play Starcraft or dota or whatever else for the ranked.
Statistics need proper interpretation. If the game sucks in multiplayer support or architecture obviously results are skewed the other way around. If we build the next game based on that then we will just cater to the smaller player base (because the majority was already turned off)
One more thing to note is that alot of people leave steam open and leave games open for hours even though they are not playing. Especially content creators or wanna be content creators for various reasons.
