![]() The quality of the product that was just released was practically in beta and has been for the whole year including the beginning of 2021. I was hoping for a modernization of the product with more features, features taken from the eso platform and starcraft2 (RTS made of gold in comparison), an even nicer chat and friends list system than Eso, impeccable balance, detailed (but not invasive) and user friendly, a professional observer screen like starcraft2 or age of empires 2 DE but all this did not happen, none of these points happened, despite the criticisms and advice, the lists written by the players and sent by pro players (especially the balanced) the Devs repealed every list every time, they just decided to add useless things, to solve some bugs as it should be but at the same time to make money through Pay to Win DLC where they forced you to buy it if you wanted to play tournaments or competitive (this really ****). It is cheap, it is light, it has a great fan patch (Esoc) and it works online.įor me this game was the best of the entire saga, nothing takes away from 2 but for me it was the best for the style of play it has. If you want to play Age Of Empires 3, buy the complete colection. Unecessary changes that only serve to havoc the community. ![]() They put their hand on a fire on purpose being fully aware that people would take that bait, and sure as hell it brought atention. Lastly, regarding the changes to some ''Problematic'' age names and abilities: Changing the Natives power of converting animals was a good move (even back them it was a Pocahantas steryotype) but everything else? Changing colonial to commerce, plantations, etc. Honestly, the visual designers don't seen to have put much tough on the subject at all. ![]() Homecity cards are just ''thrown'' in the Metropolis without any visual consideration. Third: The game fortunatelly adds some aspects of fan patches of the original aoe3, but their insistency in archaic mechanics (like the way that some natives colect gold) leads to a more slugish game, as many of those mechanics dont fit here. The age of Empires remakes and HDs are known for being bad, but the last AOE and AOE3 DE really settle a lower a bar from what was already underground. Secondly, the multiplayer does not properly work. There are mods and fan projects of the original game with good enough designs that were infinitelly lighter than this one (and mind you, with a better color pallete and saturation). Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is by no means a perfect product, but it perfectly honors the spirit of the franchise.Īoe3 DE by itself is already a problematic game, but the fact that this was a remaster done by one of the largest companies on earth trully shows that the Dutch Diseases may also be present on the gaming industry.įor starters: I have no idea of why the game is so heavy and badly optimized (I will put my two cents on the new models). Through these collaborations, developers were also able to solve gameplay issues that plagued all fans of the game. The collaboration with Indigenous consultants helps it regain its dignity by providing historical accuracy. Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, however, does justice to the franchise by recognizing its flaws and working towards a better product. While I’m sure a post-launch patch will be released to add fixes, players will have to deal with these inconveniences in the the meantime. While the game is beautiful to look at and still holds true to the formula that makes AoE such a great franchise, it’s also riddled with frustrating glitches and inconsistencies. The new additions are fully developed and integrate masterfully with the base game. This Definitive Edition comes supersized with all the previous game’s content plus new missions, campaigns and factions. The overhaul of aesthetics in gameplay make it look better than it ever has. ![]() Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is the remaster the game deserves.
