Haudenawhatever

[PurSpyk!!]

UI seems far too large for the screen resolution; hope you can resize it. Also, the way the buildings collapse after being destroyed is so much better in AOE II DE

[CannaBliss]

it will be different tho after a few hours im sure u will get use to it or i hope so XD


idk it will be interesting

Indeed, that radial blast wave is so unnecessary.

True AOE 2 has got better destruction

The problem is that they are collapsing insanely fast. It even looks like those current scheduled demolitions. The original version was more interesting.

Agreed. the original looks more "dramatic"

[PurSpyk!!]

and some of the textures on the American tribe screens look really low quality

Yeah, that Native around 1:08 looks incredibly blurry, like a regular unit blown up to fill half the screen.

Imagine caring what IGN thinks about games

Really wondering if pre ordering this is worth it, might as well cancel and go back to my original version. The other DE versions were a real decent update, this seems oddly unfinished.

Why do people keep saying this kind of thing? You guys think there weren't a lot of people complaining about AOE I and II DE too at the time of its releases? It had, of course, complained about the graphics, the audio, the AI, the Price, the existence of the HD version of AOE II, the high requirements, of pretty much everything.

In AOE III DE the two new civs, the MP that now works for real and the new card system are already reasons enough to buy it. The only thing really worrying is the changes in the natives or caused by them.

Besides that they did very, very little with AOE I. Of course it's the oldest of the three it seems that what was done was gigantic, but it's basically graphics and a bit of QoL, that's all. AOE I DE has gained absolutely nothing new. AOE III DE has much, much more new content than AOE I DE.

Well, in another topic someone said that these videos are played on low/medium settings. It's still strange that only unit models are so blurry, while buildings and backgrounds are sharp.
I wanted to preorder (since the price is really appealing and 3 has always been my favourite part), but now I'd rather hold off to see the final product and pick it up at the end of October (if nothing better will be offered during the Halloween sale )
All in all, I think that every critic here will eventually buy AoE3 DE, despite all the questionable changes.

What is the new card system?
