Then they should take 2 dollars and just make some matchmaking client. I mean, what's the point?

Me neither. It seems like they've just added higher resolutions and a deeper colour palette so that it doesn't look weird. None of the sprites seem to look better. How is this 20 dollars?

If they've fixed all the netcode and disconnecting issues, then together with steam integration and higher resolution I'd say most of the value is there.

I think just making multiplayer easier to get access to is worth the purchase. When I did play, I had to go on gamespy arcade and message for sometimes hours to find a game T.T

This is basically the same as a ported classic game. Typically, these will cost between 5-10 dollars; often, they will cost even less when you get those bundles. You're saying that most of the value is there, but it still comes off as you thinking it's a bit expensive.
At the very least, I think 20 bucks is too expensive. I own the original and the expansion - I don't get a discount. The fact that I have to purchase a game I already own to be able to play it doesn't sit well with me. 20 bucks is overpriced.

That's fine it's not worth it to you then don't get it. I own the games to but I find 17$ fine especially with the better multiplayer support + higher resolution and works with windows 7 is worth it to me and many others. I am going to be happy with it and don't regret the 17$ spent on it at all, if you think it's to expensive don't get it nobody is forcing you to

Well, I went for a 4-pack with friends. I agree that $20 is a bit much but $15 is acceptable, no?

Not really easier, since you have to do the same thing as before if you want to play with the rest of the community. Using the official matchmaking is akin to playing BW through battle.net.
|
So the matchmaking will presumably still be peer to peer, right?

Having it more playable on modern computers/resolutions while having the many benefits of Steam is certainly a plus.

Remastered into HD??! LOL! I love AOE2 but I dont see it HDed! They just made it compatible to current system now.

Did I miss something? I literally just got done playing AOE2 on Windows 7......so why is it a big deal that the game "works on Windows 7 now", when it already did?

Because without workarounds and compatibility fixes AOE2 suffered from the same colour/graphical glitches that SC:BW does.
If ya'll don't think you'll get 15-20 dollars worth out of a 1080p, steam workshop enabled, multiplayer + matchmaking supported upgrade to AOE2 then don't buy it. I know ill easily get my money's worth out of it, hell its the price of a couple subway meals - not a big deal.

Steam 10% off, not bad. From the looks of it, TL will have a decent pool of players to practice or just have friendly games.

Livestream has started. Should be very fun series to watch ^_^. AOE2HD Hype!

I think I'll get it when it's something like 50% off or if I can get enough friends for 4-pack or something.

But we already had all those things on Voobly, and matchmaking doesn't have Forgotten Empires support. No point in playing without FE when every tournament and CL is using it now.
|
even if you only play on voobly, this release allready affected you positively by making the voobly guys afraid and dropped the premium requirement for the widescreen support.
and i dont know why people are arguing about the price, its on the steam topsellers for weeks now. So there must be quite some people who are ok with the price.
