Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I just got my beta key the other day, which was probably a 3-4mo wait. I haven't even had a chance to look at it yet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 So I've been playing the single player off and on over the weekend. I've gotta say that I really like the graphics, even though they are more cartoon-like than what I would have imagined. I enjoy the gathering resources and the quests, although I do wish the fighting had more functionality a-la the Total War games. Basically, youjust group all your troops, regardless of specialty, and point them at the enemy. But, it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee~SPARTA~ Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah thats basically what age of empires has always been. however, if you play against real people you will find that there is a tremendous amount of strategy needed to win. I haven't had time to enable my beta key but I hope to sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Never played online before, except for one or two tries where I got stomped within the first few minutes. This game is nice and I'm really surprised by how much I like the cartoonish graphics. Would it look nicer with some polished real-world looking art? Probably, but this will probably be used to get kids addicted to gaming. And if that's so, I wish there were more history lessons in the quests, like a "did you know..." kind of thing. I don't see how this almost-bug-free game is still waiting to be released until the end of the year. It looks almost ready to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
