Age of Empires 4 is extremely underrated and has such undeserved hate from /v/. Change my mind. The game is beautiful in both art and sound design and has more depth than AoE2 which everyone harps on.
>>727774793Cool story bro, still playing AOE2, enjoy your slop.
>>727774793it needs to be 40 gigs max
>>727774793I enjoy it. It's good for what it is. 7/10
it's the sequel to starcraft 2.
it was pretty good
I want to like AoE4 so bad, but the campaigns are just flat out BAD. Multiplayer is kind of neat, but its very tedious learning all the different openings for each faction and how they relate to each map.
it's the best competitive RTS on the market, it's just that nobody wants to play anything related to this genre. Me included, I prefer Paradox games and Dota
>>727776580Trvke. I'm playing AoE4 right now though.
>>727776425Liked the campaign. Never bothered with multiplayer because don't care about that
>>727774793I used to absolutely love AOE2, probably put around 1000 hours into it.But, I have no interest in whatever that meta was of quick advancement and sending small troops to break shit up early, win quickly etc. I want to build sprawling civilizations with huge armies and fight big wars against other sprawling civilizations with huge armies. Does 4 let me do that? Do PVP players like that too or all they all lame and do meta early game tryhard shit?
>>727774793It's better in art and sound design than a game from 1999? Okay great we all knew thisWhat else is better?
>Competitive multiplayer rts>Campaign replaced the fun character driven formula following a couple people in a fictional story with a historical background with reliving random historical events>ai in said campaign was utter dogshit and you could just walk past them because the devs were deluded enough into thinking a competitive 1v1 ranked system is the only way to play rts>Said competitive 1v1 ranked system was broken on launch due to horrendously unbalanced factionsAoE4 doesn't get hate on /v/ because it was memory holed out of existence, people went back to playing AoE2 or played AoMR which was the much better modern Age Of game
>>727777631>no meme shit like quickwalling, deer pushing, sheep scouting>you use walls instead of houses to actually, duh, wall>overall the game is more macro than micro orientedthe only big thing is if you like the assymetric gameplay. The civs are diverse and fun but if it's not your thing then the game isnt for you
>>727777847Okay, and why do I have to coax this shit out of you when you should have put it in the OP?
>>727774793I can't get over how soulless it looks.
>>727774793Sorry, I just don't play propaganda games.
>>727779465"soulless" is just a buzzword that doesn't mean anything
>>727781785cope. it means that it has a unique identifier, something that visually speaking can make someone point the game or series faster than others when asked about it. when you remember something about the game a soulful one will generate an instant detailed image in your mind. it has a certain visual appeal whether through the art style, some artistic choices, the color palette, VFXs etc. a soulful game cannot be also described as bland or part of an overdone formula etc. next time stfu weirdo.
>>727774793Age of Empires IV should have spanned the Late Victorian – Cold War era as originally planned instead of being back to the medieval times yet again.
>has more depth than AoE2it doesn't thoughever
>>727777847>n-n-no quickwalling is bad>n-n-no using buildings as parts of a wall is bad>n-n-n-no pushing deer is bad>n-n-n-n-n-n-no micro is badtell me you're 300 elo without telling me you're 300 elo
>>727774793I played the beta and it was so bad that I played only a few hours after release. I should have never even bought it. The only good thing about it was the production quality of their campaign missions and the campaign is SHIT
>>727781785soulless perfectly describes the game. Compare the sterile UI with the beauty of the UI in age of empires 1-3. Not even a comparison. How can you not tell the difference?
>>727778641im not the OP>>727783965I said I dont even play RTS retard. Aoe2 players are illiterate niggers, case no 2137
