AOE3 is getting a bad rap on the offical forums

  • Quote

Post by Interjection »

One comment I read:

"why is age 3 supported after all of these years?"

"i would not be asking if the game did not get hate, alot of age fans hated the game and it got mixed reviews, why would they be supporting it after all of these years even though most age fans either think this game is ok or it is terrible."

How naive :( https://forums.ageofempires.com/categor ... discussion

Sadly, I'm off to London now so I don't have the time to write a fully thought out response telling this user how awesome the game is, and how much depth the home city mechanic adds and all of the other greats things!

I would be nice though if we could represent our game on the official forums a bit better and tell this HUGE influx of new users (around 60k signed up for the beta apparently) that our game is awesome.

Just to be clear, I am not suggesting that users flame, or be angry or anything like that. I would just love to see some voices over on that forum being friendly and enthusiastic about a game I love.

I thought we could use this thread to help people interested keep up to date with any new/interesting AOE3 related posts that pop up on that forum, post new threads or posts to your threads here please. I'd love to read them whilst I'm on the train and I'll do my best to pitch in

:)

Also, if eso server is finally down, goodspeed can afford a global server for aoe 3, make EP the official patch (ah it should be "goodspeed patch", GP, then), esoc the official forum (or "goodspeed online forum", GSOC), ban those shameless cheaters, host global GP tournaments: and a new era of aoe 3 will rise from the relics of ESO!

On the other hand, we have some new enthusiasts coming to r/aoe3!
https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe3/comments/ ... this_game/

And honestly, such posts like the one you linked, Inter, are an exception from the rule, people don't complain too much. To quote Eaglemut from the link above:

EAGLEMUT wrote:The unfortunate reason is that most of the playerbase wanted AoE3 to be "AoE2.1". Well, this didn't happen. AoE3 released as a completely new game on a new engine, new graphics and new ideas to increase the strategic depth (cards, much more distinct civs, explorers).
AoE3 is an excellent game, basically better in every aspect I can think of compared to AoE1/AoE2, but it is different and simply isn't what many players of AoE1/AoE2 wanted to see. It doesn't hit the nostalgia feeling.
Most players trashing the game only heard about how bad it is from other nostalgists (who almost surely played it for no more than 20 minutes), or they fall into the nostalgist club themselves, continuing to spread blatant misinformation about the game and giving it bad rep.
It's really a shame this is how it is.

A picture worths more than 1000 words, but a video even more.
