The remastered OST sounds like it was severely de-T'd.

What did they do with the original theme?!!! These bastards! :negative:

^ EVERYTHING MUST BE FAGGOTISED

The way they've faggotised that soundtrack is very similar to the way 'Spyro reignited' faggotised the Spyro soundtrack. Missing notes, messed-up rhythms for the hell of it, mixing fucked up, sounds having their rough edges circumcised off, and so on. YUGE decline.

You could get some random fans to 'remix' it and the result would probably be better. These remixes are cultural terrorism LITERALLY trying to turn people into trannies, they deserve the pyre!

Isn't the trailer for part 4 coming out today? I am excited to see how they will fuck this up, and turn age of empires into a re skinned war hammer game.

I have my whip ready to inflict some self flagellation on my back while watching the trailer to add insult to injury.

So, every vo-ed text box in the campaign persisting in the middle of my fucking screen and only disappearing when the next one shows up is a bug and not working as intended, right? Or is it just me?

I like the graphics btw, and I'm saying this as someone who typically detests going 2d=>3d. Just turn off all the shitty post processing.

So the game runs on win 7 also. In this moment i am weeping tears of blood,from all the rulers of 1500 year old tzardom,they decided to use Ivailo the cabbage and make him a fighter for freedom and equality....

:negative::negative::negative::negative::negative:


As for the game....outside of shiny graphics that take 36 g in install files and 46g in game files, and few new nations to play.....everything else is worst than the last iteration. The pathfinding is atrocious,the music is fucked,there is some retarded game decision that are mind boggling...like clicking on a target out side of trebuchets range makes the unpack....even if only one trebuchet is outside the range...everyone selected will do it. I never found a way to disable it. Also the hotkeys are pretty retarded and some times you have to click them a few times. The game now runs at max 2x speed and doesn't have the x4 and x8 speeds of the earlier game. All in all it is a decline!

These fucking soyboys on youtube be like

>listen to aoe2 soundtrack but it's fake and gay
>give it a like because CONSUME PRODUCT AND GET EXCITED FOR NEW PRODUCT
>"you don't like it because it's new"

Like/Dislike was something like 200/4 last I checked

We need a mass soyboy/normie eradication campaign

You all encouraged this behavior. The old stuff ran fine on Windows 7 with fan patches. But noooooo. We must have our 3d and 31 civilizations and KAAAAANGZ n' sheeeeeeit.

It exists, but have fun watching it get completely displaced by this corpse-rape-in-progress. Every Google search, every Bing query, every Yandex foray, nothing but this mediocrity for at least the first page. Until you like it.

Aaaaand? I have my copy, I can play it whenever I want. I guess multiplayer will take a hit, but I'm sure there will be a core group of people who will still play the original.

It's highly inconvenient for discoverability. Don't get me wrong, it's always 1999 at my pad too, but it manages to irritate nonetheless; once that lame Shadow Warrior reboot came out finding info on the inner workings of the good one became a nightmare, for example.

Regardless of that, you can still play AoC on Voobly and use the Wololo Kingdoms patch for the new content if you care for it.
