    So Age of Empires 3 is pretty cool, and good, and has a couple of issues but that's no trouble. What happened next, however, is a little bit tragic.
    Making Nintendo DS Age games was weird, sure, but they're not evil - just out of their depth. It's the last game in the franchise, published in 2011, that sunk the game until Age of Empires 4, which is coming out later in 2020.

      I liked it. The single player story was engaging, despite what the video argues I think the game mechanics adequately reflected the feel of the era. Could they have been done/implemented better? Maybe, but at the time I thought they were ok.
      The one thing I’ll agree with is the card grinding. This made sense in the sp campaign, where it’s tracking your progression in that campaign. At the start you’d have a weak home city and low power cards and towards the end you’d have unlocked the stronger cards. However in multiplayer or competitive (which I didn’t do much of), it’s annoying.

      The issue was that non of those new things were actually good or fun. It also didn't help that if you wanted an RTS with gunpowder, Cossacks was a miled and bounds better and more fun option. AoE1&2 were better than almost every RTS out at the time, hence why they are so popular even today. Meanwhile, AoE3 was, at best, average.

      You are ware the Age of Empires Franchise has been going strong because of Age of Empries 2, right? Hence the "Fall of Age of Empries". if AoE2 wasn't such a classic game, then the series would be as good as dead since AoE3 and AoE online pretty much killed any hope of a AoE4. It's thanks to how good AoE2 was and still is, that we got AoEHD wiht new content, and thanks to the popularity of tit that we got Definitive Edition, and it's thanks to all of that that we are getting AoE4. It's also thanks to AoE2 HD that we got AoMHD and Rise of Nations HD.
      Looking back, you literally can't name a single franchise aside from Age of Empires that has one game so loved, so popular and so well regarded that it single highhandedly saved the IP from extinction and helped remaster other games outside its franchise.

    The commentary on Age of Empires 3 is really interesting to me, as it was my first introduction to the series, along with Age of Mythology. I've never really thought about the changes being jarring before, as that was just the base for me. So when I picked up Age of Empires 2 and started playing that as my main game, the jarring part was the lack of features I had been accustomed to. It was weird that all the civs had the same looking units, that Malians were just as white as Slavs, that aging up was just kinda there, and that there was no over arching progression to it. Looking at it objectively, I agree with most of your points, and I prefer 2 for a more rounded game. That said, I couldn't help but feel pangs of defensiveness as you were talking about my childhood friend 3. I have no doubts that if 3 was given the same support that 2 has, revitalized playerbase included, I would switch to 3 any day of the week and would probably never look back.
    I really liked these 2 videos, they really put the whole game series in context for me. Age Of Empires is older than I am by a few years, and was one of my first introductions to gaming, so I never really considered the larger story of it. It was just a constant for me.

Gbettos are overpowered as fuck, and nobody fucking asked for the hot, smelly, shitstain mess that is cumens, but they keep doing it, because we all still somehow assume they know what they're doing. They fucked up the controls, so now you can't que up movements BEFORE moving, because people are scum slurping retards, and building things makes NO FUCKING SENSE. Its trying to be a compromise between the old building ai, and typical RTS building UI, and it doesn't work. Building lost markers that make identifying buildings quick and easy. DE doesn't even credit microprose. Its a fucking piece of shit, and once I've done enough hours to writing a scathing, angry review over all of it, I'm going back to HD, and Voobly.

    I expected so much more from this video. Instead of analyzing why aoe3 actually failed, you just started bashing a game that you hardly even understand. For example, were you aware that much of the leveling up problems were solved in one of the later expansions? Did you know that the problem with the balance was mostly caused by the developers abandoning the game after 3 years. You conveniently link a 2015 tier list, just before the community made their own balance patches which vastly improved the balance. You say that it's hard to tell upgraded units apart, but that's just because you didn't actually play the game. I've played the game competitively and I have never seen people complain about this or struggled with this.

      Jerom, have you ever considered watching the video before commenting on it? He did address those things.
      Also, if community has to improve the game years after its release it only proves the point the game was a total disaster. Outside of extreme exceptions, early years are what matters.
      He showed the unit and its upgraded version. They do look too similar. Just because the obvious fanboy like you pretends there are no issues doesn't mean actual facts (units shown in the video) stop existing.

      As for the other guy, god bless, but any criticism of 3 were co-opted from my experience and those who posted on forums - they're hardly new. They don't make the game bad either, I just think they're stumbling blocks where Age 2 had like, none. Seems pretty reasonable if you ask me.

    The grinding part about AoE 3 is bs you start at level 10 I believe and if you reach like level 20 on one civ you start at 20 with all others. With one 40 minute game you get 3 levels so 3 games and ure level 20 when u reach level 40 all civs start at level 40 so please make points and do research instead of talking bs.
    Edit: and when ure level 25 you can already choose all the important cards the levels beyond are just to get more cards which leads to more decks and strats.

    I’ll put out my voice in support of AOE3. I can definitely see how it’s really different and how the city progression system set a high bar to even be competitive. I never was competitive as a kid when it came out, so I rather enjoyed something to work towards and the city system was something I thought was an improvement from the previous games.

I also love that you didn't even mention the "mobile" game, I had it on my Windows phone (remember those? ahahah) and then once I got my brain fixed and switched to android, I had it on my laptop; it's pretty bad. Also I like AOE 3 even with the changes, I feel like they had to make something new, but as a single player I still prefer the II mostly because of the campaign.
