To be clear, Microsoft DID try to kill our AoE community multiple times but talented individuals of the community made us our own platform to play on and balance the game. It wasn't until after we kept playing without them for 15 years that they came back.

This is a bit wrong. Microsoft tried to kill of Age of Empires 2 and it's community several times. The AoE2 community said "No, piss off." every time. Microsoft eventually realised that they were better off continuing and expanding on the game rather than trying to kill it. The Definitive Edition now is nothing like the original version even post-patching. It has been expanded by more than 10 folds. The reason the game is enduring is it's community that refuses to give in to Microsoft's demands over the years. Microsoft knows full and well that they have lost the fight against the AoE2 community and that they are not going to win a fight with them no matter what they do. It's just like the Red Alert 2 community that refuses to die off despite EA's best attempts to kill it off.

Agreed. The last part of the video is exactly why I've been saying for years that I WANT to pay $150+ dollars for good games that I know won't have any micro-transactions or loot boxes to ruin the fun. In my opinion the industry's insistence on sticking with the $60 price point for 3+ decades is exactly why modern video games have become such garbage designed to sell loot boxes and micro-transactions instead of just being a fun game.

Interestingly, there's a lot of talk that age of empires 2 has too much playable civilisations now and it's too overwhelming and complicated for new players. Instead of more dlcs, many people have suggested that regional skins are added to the game so that people can support that way and devs keep doing balance updates

I'm beyond utterly sick of them because it proves that the game is merely a psychologically exploitive monetization model to extract whatever money it can from its userbase, _rather than provide them with something of ACTUAL VALUE._ We're happy to pay for games that treat us and the game property with respect - not one that treat us & the IP as a commodity to be bled dry until our love for the product turns to ash in our mouths (see: Overwatch 2).

Yes! And the line about how post-launch resources in games used to go into improving the game, but all that goes to now are cosmetics. The kids these days have no idea. Before cosmetics became the focus, DLC had to stand on its own, it had to improve the over all experience otherwise it wasn't worth our money, in a time when all DLC itself felt innately scammy. Now the game itself sits there in a barely playable state, but you can spend a fortune for all the lipstick you could possibly imagine putting on that pig....

AOE2 DE was a success because the players kept the game alive through voobly ( A free browser page used to run AOE2 ) for years. When Microsoft did nothing with it. Then people like T90 Official hosted AOE2 tournaments on Voobly. getting 50.000+ viewers. And AOE2 streams having a healthy viewership as well on average. First Microsoft tried with AOE2 HD. It sucked. And people still used voobly. Then came DE. And this is not an attack on Microsoft. They have done well ( despite the fact they still have not fixed matchmaking or game finding ) But seeing the fans keeping the game alive, and then choosing to step back in. Is good. However. Its all because of Voobly, and the players and caster who ran the game and tournaments, for many years. That is why Age of Empires 2 DE is a success.

I absolutely agree, products should come with a pricetag instead of hidden subscription schemes, but those prices also have to be in line with the up front cost of the product. A $60-$80 game should not be getting story packs that add 5% more content for a quarter of the price of the base game and there should not be cash shops selling broken mods for the price of full games in those games. There also needs to be more transparency in monetization, the different currencies are awful and predatory. I think FTP titles should have to constantly display just how much you've spent on the game in their shops, really show the economic effect they're having.

Age 2 was my first game that wasn't a "kids game" (simple gameplay, basic story, often educational, etc.) and holds a special place in my heart. Microsoft's handling of it's Definitive Edition is the reason I stopped "doomsaying" about the Western games industry 5 years ago... And is the reason I was less concerned and not paranoid about their growing monopoly of Western AAA games with the acquisition of Bethesda and Activision. They showed a willingness to put the game and gamers first, and once they figure out that that's what works; they'll apply it to their other projects.

This might interesting if you guys didn't see or read about it. Warcraft 3 received a closed PTR update to version 2.0 a couple of days ago. Considering that the change from old warcraft 3 to reforged changed the version number only by 0.01 or something similarly small they believe or at least want us to believe that the incoming changes will be quite massive. After people found that 2.0 version number in the logs and talked about it Blizzard then immediately pulled the update back from the closed PTR and reversed its state back to what it was before. Maybe something big is coming for warcraft 3 too. Though it's all speculative at this point.

*You're completely right.* When they know they can fool the majority of the consumers, they no longer care. You see it everywhere, from video games to designer bags and cars. They might make things more accessible, but then they also make it more expensive AND of lesser quality than it used to be. They're cutting corners, but if you weren't there to see the corners before they got cut, you'll think that's the norm. Yeah, my old PS2 games might have shit quality in comparison to what we have now, but at least they has quality storytelling and gameplay (for the mad part), and I have them on a physical disc. I paid to own and play a physical product of an expected quality, which is what the transaction used to be. No wonder I don't like buying new games anymore... _I'd rather buy a cartridge for my DS or something at this point._

I approve of companies working with the modding community. part of the reason why i love Indie Stone who make project zomboid. most of their expanded game devs, from their original 2 man team came from the Mod developers. I believe a whopping 3 were hired from outside sources. still relatively small at around 26 devs, but most of their hiring comes from the massive modding community. If only EA would get on board with mod community for their C&C franchise and C&C generals, specifically. I do not understand why larger companies DO NOT work with modders, they are the passion project workers. they are the ones who will make remakes and expansions great for the established fan base. they are the ones motivated to develop a fantastic project, instead of a bunch of whipped and beaten game devs who put in 14 hrs a day for a project they were assigned too, over one they actually care about, because they need a paycheck, and have stupid corporate deadlines.

With reasonable expectations comes the chance of huge success despite the actual cost of making the game. It also keeps the scope of the game reasonable so it doesn't get bloated, which also means less room for forced DEI, which means DEI can only be included if the story/game itself actually supports it being included in the first place (unlike many modern games). Less focus on maximum graphical fidelity and more on art style (unless the story/gameplay "needs" high graphical fidelity for better impact). This also means less money lost on wasted or bad projects. It doesn't have to small indie dev sized game, but keeping things reasonable also allows for easier management.

All we really got was the ability to play AOE1 in the AOE2 browser and 1 civ, if you don't care about AOE1 (so like 90% of the community), not much reason to buy at that price. And then there's the Re-skined campaign DLC... should have been free or no more then $5.

"if its free i am less interested" is a wild take lol. i cant agree with that. I'm much more likely to try a game that's free over a game that charges $120 for 4 day early access and a skin.

I have to say that TheViper will always be the GOAT of AoE2. That is all.

Funny you should mention starcraft 1 remade in the starcraft 2 engine. It has already happened, as a mod. Check out Strarcraft: Mass Recall. The work they've done is stellar, it's pretty much like playing the original game.

O yea, you know it too! I bet it would have sold well if they got the modders aboard as a contracted group.

I hope they balance the new Greek gams well, since Aoe1 balance is broken

I really like the cutscenes in Age of Empire IV, but the campaign is too short and there weren't enough empires on release.

I typically won't buy games with microtransactions and don't think I play any free games currently because I want to unlock things naturally. And I consider any DLC to be part of the total cost of the game, so it could be discounted 95% but if there are also fifteen full price DLC items listed on steam, I won't buy it if the full cost of everything goes up by more than double.

"starcraft is dead" Hurts when I'm someone who avidly watches that game continue being played on big stages, new things being figured out, new metas being developed, new maps being introduced that change up everything, seeing new talent come in and start gaining traction,...

It's quite the surprise how the wait times for matches are pretty small. And I feel like I'm facing people my skill level.

I play AoE 2 2013, I play Koreans every time vs bots on maps where towers and castles are king. 1v3 and 3v7 etc. I have about 200 hours or something doing only this. If it's good don't break it.

AoE has no need for always online service, which make communities has the ability to mod everything. And mods, customize everything to cater players needs. From bigger maps and higher resolution, to new maps and gamplay rules, to new waifus to taste for those who needs them. That's why D2, HoMM3, and Doom are still around. Not just AoE.

I miss the good old days of just buying a game for a flat price, it just working, and being done with it. No living in a game, no live service, no monthly subs, no paid skins, no engineering problems to sell solutions too. Just a simple transaction of buying a complete product... Shame how far its fallen.

@McShrimpies same here. It's why I still play my ps2 or older computer games like heroes of might and magic 3. I didn't mind the idea of an expansion to a game like warcraft 3 did with warcraft 3 frozen throne. Cause it was all one story that made sense and did add good changes. But it was only 1 expansion, now games are updated every week or every day and its annoying. Part of why I find it hard to get into newer games at all even in an offline state. Total war 3 kingdoms, every time that game updated all my old games went corrupted. 7 days to die, oh hey an update happened and now certain mechanics don't work and the game doesn't run right if you don't update. Same with Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries. It just sucks, I too miss the final product at first purchase and sad how so many gamers just still spend their money before they even have an idea of what they are getting.

What did they add from Aoe1 to Aoe2? I'm asking this because I played AoE1 when the remaster released and the balancing between units was really bad, I'm not an expert but the catapults were horribly overpowered when playing against them on narrow terrain.

I think this undersells how god-awful Victors and Vanquished was. there was hardly any polish, most of the scenarios are hardly distinguishable from the mod versions (basically just some dull voice acting) and the gameplay is just so tedious.
