AOE III is released

[conmcb25]

Who is going to get this game?

[Jamski]

Not me, not with Civ4 next week dude.

[Sava]

probably not me...

I've been playing it single player so far...

it is decent, but after I build up some home cities XP and beat the campaigns, there is no replay value... and I have no interest in MP

[Spaced Cowboy]

I heard it isn't that good.

[Adagio]

I've played a few campaign missions and a few skirmish battles, but was bored to death. I haven't played the game this week yet, and I doubt I will ever play it again (I'm pretty sure I wont touch it if my computer can run Civ IV)

[conmcb25]

Doesn't bode well for theAOE series.

I played AOE II to death.

[DrSpike]

Well the only way it could live up to AOE2 was to become the next big MP RTS game, but most reports seem to suggest the MP isn't that hot.

My plan is to give it a miss, as Quake4 and Civ4 is going to be more than enough.

To people who have played it: Do you think there is any other reason to buy than pretty graphics? Is tactical combat better than it was in RoN?

[Adagio]

Other than for the pretty graphics there's really not much to come after. I didn't really like the combat in this game, but I guess the problem lies more in how it feels than how it is
I had "high" hopes for the "home city" part, but it just fails. The cards are boring and you get to use them too often. I want the cards to have a 'huge' effect on the game, instead of just recieving a few settlers, some wood or some soldiers. Sure there are a few cards that can change how the game is played, but only little (like allowing you to built 2 more towers higher than the limit)
Also the nations in the game doesn't really differ much. I haven't noticed any difference while playing (though I haven't tried all nations). Some of the differences seems kinda pointless for me, like the russians (?) can't build 1 settler at a time, but has to build 3, but the price is almost the same as buying 3
I haven't played MP (and doubt I ever will), so I can't say how great this game performs there, but I seriously can't see how MP can save this game

[wgabrie]

I'm going to buy it.

I like how I can now que up 5 units per slot and they all get built at once.

Sounds like they ripped off all the worst parts of RoN

No way I'm buying it.

And you guys are going to let Sava determind what games you like and don't like. Yes I have bought some loser in my life, but I don't allow anyone to dictate to me on what game I will buy.

This not suppose to happen
