Is this better than the fail of AOE 4?

[Manilla]

Hi my name is Robert Jenson.
I'm RTS gamer by heart.. and I'm hyped for this game.
So hyped and I guess it will FAIL like AOE 4.
Am I wrong here? or do You think too....

And this game has multiplayer, but does it has rank ladder?

Best regards,
Robert Jenson

Hello Robert
We don't know, Aoe4 suffered being an early access title on release to reach deadlines, but it clawed itself back to get a bigger playerbase over the traditional aoe3tad+de3+esoc.

I don't think it will fail, that can only happen if they choose to abandon the game like EE due to budget constraints and how the new studios are set up for technical and content support.

So far, every AoE except 4 launched with a ranked ladder at release. I think Retold will follow that ;)

aoe4 has a healthy playerbase now. its not a failure. Not really my cup of tea, but a lot of people enjoy it.

great that its not skybox devs again to abandon and not do a damn thing about desync / latency destroying the population of the greatest rts ever...

You're right it's not completely fail indeed, but also not really great for a billion company I only played it 240 hours

Yes, this will be better than AoE4. AoE4 looks like a flowchart simulator, AoM actually looks like a game.

[Manilla]

Cool thanks for your opinion. This one of the only RTS I never played.
So I'm kinda hyped, but mostly for multiplayer

AoE4 failed to reach casual audience due to its multiplayer (2vs2 and above) being basically unplayable.
1. People could sync error the game at will to avoid losing
2. People crashed frequently
3. Mongol TC rush
4. Water Gameplay was garbage (French won every game)

+ bugs sticking around for quite a while before they got fixed, e.g. the Rus Relic one.

I remember that they had a Gentleman's agreement for Genesis (the 1st big AoE 4 tournament) where they asked players not to use this bug.

[Manilla]

Especially a billion company from Microsoft. That has so much money, but they can't fix a small bug in months. My first 240 hours of AOE4 had to many bugs was the reason i quit

AoE4 was/is great. What are you on about? Go play AoE2.

You know, people play more than just 2 and/or 4.

[Sylvester Sirloin]

No. AOE4 is better for competitive gameplay.
