You could have either made it or ruined it, and microsoft... you FUCKED IT

http://www.ageofempiresonline.com/

I know alot of you would have played it (looking at you (T)Artosis ) Age of empires 3, sequel has been announced..

You were expecting Age of Empires 4? Or AoM2? Wrong, you got fucking world of warcraft meets farmville.

Nice microsoft, you Just ruined my fucking week.

Looks pretty awesome to me.

I didn't play AOE that much, but it was a nice game. I would surely try this, I think I'll sign up for the beta.

YEAH 24 hours online

basically the moar you play it the better your 'civ' is

not to mention the platform is windows live games? LOL last time i checked windows were for houses not for gamers.

i can say with 100% confidence that they lined up 52 boxes and inside each box was a name or a noun. unluckily they picked out the name of the graphic artists 5 year old daughter and autism, put them together and got a 5 year old autistic FUCK to design their game.

inc: $5 on steam store 2nd week of release

and they will probz have it for itunes cause im guessing you can use it on ur iphone rofl

Oh, utopia.. I once reached #3 world wide with avian, but it was in an age where no sensible person played avian cause they were nerfed big time.

I think they went for a more low-profile non PROGAMER aproach to AoE, and I think it might be just the right thing.

I can't wait for this to come out!

I loved Age of Empires I & II when I was younger (wasn't really a fan of 3) but this being free and combined with the awesome cartoon-style graphics = I can't wait and already signed up for the beta.

There's nothing quite like wondering how your kingdom is doing during a regular weekday! Logging off during a realm vs realm war in Dominion always held a bit of dread for me; you knew someone was gonna attack you at some point.

Interesting concept, but there is no reason it should look like a fucking child's cartoon -.-.

While I don't approve of doing it, it's smart on their end. He's absolutely right, you know you're going to try it anyway, so why not try to tap into a whole new giant market.

On a side note, fuck Farmville Fishville Mafia Wars all Facebook games.

I was certain that OP is exaggerating big time, but after watching the trailer I was far beyond underwhelmed. The game looks terrible to say the least. Painful to watch graphic design, ridiculously high time consumption and it is NOT a RTS -.-
But I'm pretty sure microsoft will snatch away quite a bit market share from farmville...

I'm kind of an AoE purist, though I was never a huge fan. I'd liked it to have gone back to AoE2 instead of what we saw with AoE3.

Question: why was OP warned? For his opinion?

Well that looks more like some browser game than some good old rts.
Also that 24/7 thing is a turn-off. The same goes for Windows live.
Pretty much "do not want".
A pity though, for AoE2 was awesome.

This is exactly like how I wanted Knights of the Old Republic 3, but they had to make a dumbass MMORPG/Obviously with WoW in Mind.

*sigh*
