I really dislike the "cartoony" criticism, since it seems to come from a view that video games can't be colorful. It's the sort of criticism that thinks Gears of War is the ultimate in aesthetic design, with grey and brown everywhere. It confuses what the speaker thinks is realistic for quality. If a medieval strategy game were realistic your soldiers would take days at the least to train: knights would take years, and battles would be over in a few hours. Sieges would be 90% sitting around and waiting, and most soldiers would die of natural diseases. The cartoony criticism always seems to come from self important over serious people who don't understand or care for good aesthetic design, and think everything they do has to be utterly po faced. Nevermind a grey and brown color palette would render the units and buildings nigh on impossible to see. That and I'm sick of the stupid "bigger number always good," idea that fewer civs are automatically worse when they showed one of the most radical departures from AoE formula, with the Mongols, in that first reveal. It sounds like the sort of myopic bean counter bull that can't think past pure mathematics.

@@salvatore771 So having more color than some theoretical "realistic" game means both games are assumed to be similar. No need to look at how each plays, the time to kill, economic changes, or faction number and differences, just the color and arrangement of each games' voxels. Those sound like incredibly shallow people. Nevermind that the middle ages were more colorful than a lot of pop culture likes to depict them as. Peasants wore clothes in shades other than grey and brown, and the high class soldiers often had brightly colored heraldry to indicate which family they served. So even on "realism" the idea that the middle ages were washed out, no one knew what colors were and the sun never showed is false. And then there's making sure you can tell your spearmen from your swordsmen- which kind of benefits from having exaggerated weapon shapes and is really important in an rts. But no, can't sacrifice realism for readability, even though the other half of this is sacrificing realism for what people think is it.

@TheArcherGilgamesh
@TheArcherGilgamesh Жыл бұрын
I did. I currently have.... 252 hours in AoE4. Honestly you can't go wrong with either and I'd say ultimately it depends mainly on your prior RTS experience and what preferences you have. The games play somewhat similarly in many ways where they have the same kind of "feel" with some notable differences, the main really being how civs are built. AoE4 you get fewer civs that are more distinct and more unique mechanics to them. In AoE2 you get more civs that are more similar to each other but also the greater degree of symmetry can make the smaller differences between them stand out more than some of the bigger difference between civs in AoE4. Overall if you asked me now I'd lean towards AoE4, but I imagine there's a recency bias there and it being the game I'm currently playing, but maybe one of the biggest things that really puts me in the AoE4 camp right now is how landmarks and the way civs are built in AoE4 you can have multiple very distinct builds with each civs where how they play can change drastically based on your choices and also the fact that each civ is built to be a bit more unique leads to each unit roster feeling nice and appropriate for the civ in question as opposed to the AoE2 situation where you have Mayans running around Arbalesters just cause Arbalester is the endgame version of an archer and its what everyone gets. Basically, I'd recommend AoE4, but I think you know best what your preferences are and what appeals to you, though I'd say you can't really go wrong with either for an RTS experience (also for reference, this is all from the perspective of multiplayer, I never touched singleplayer in either game but from what I know and as I understand it AoE2 not only has WAY more campaigns but they also tend to be better so take that for what you will)@@jaydonsmith3434

It’s not good imo. But some people like it. Coop - there’s no coop campaign. You can play comp stomps with friends if you’re a boring person I guess but I really recommend multiplayer instead. I focused on the really stand out things for me in this video. The things you listed didn’t necessarily stand out vs other games.

Great content as always. I heard very good review of Ottoman phrases from the Turkish history students. They compared it with AOE3 phrases and AOE4 sounds much more authentic, not like the modern Istanbul accent. Student of Iranian history said that Delhi sultanate's Farsi is also sounds great and authentic. The only small problem, according ot him, was that this dialect of Farsi is more western (as it was spoken in Iran), while in India they spoke what's called Dari (as in the modern Aghanistan).

The fact the English speak Anglo-Saxon and then progress to Middle English showed, to me, that a great deal of care had gone into the game, even if it was a bit unfinished. My interest waned a bit but the new civs and now new expansion coming out have got me playing again and I've convinced my friends to play as well! Also I though the campaigns were pretty great.

Spot-on. I love AOE2, but the difference is: AOE2DE: Lots of unique stuff per civ, that is not always historically resonant, can be hard to remember, and has a deceptively small impact on gameplay. AOE4: A handful of unique stuff per civ, that is historically resonant, is easy to remember, and has a deceptively large impact on gameplay. The other thing I'd add is that the Light/Heavy armor distinction opens up more opportunities for counterplay. I think you just end up seeing more interesting armies fielded in AOE4 because of this and other factors. It's not always just, which three units make sense for this matchup?

I can't believe axes, pole-axes on horseback, is even a debate. I think ppl underestimate how much warriors trained. I'm sure if you trained night and day, most of you could also weild a two-hander on horseback. In fact, if you got strong enough, you'd find you could eventually swing that axe with one hand, just like my skinny a$$ swings a sledgehammer everyday one-handed. Once those tendons and ligaments get strong in the shoulders, it's just a matter of technique to keep the weight moving. Same with flambergs and zweihanders, which i recently proved i can swing one-handed with my newfound strength. I'm 5' 8" and 135 lbs. Imagine what a bigger frame could do. I think the hardest would be to combat in such heavy armor, and learning to trade blows with all that extra weight (weight behind enemy blows).

Maybe that's because I was more of a team-game-with-your-friends player, but my memories are of incredible scale, beautiful attention to detail and immensely satisfying combat, in which the city-building aspect is as enjoyable as the strategy. The 8 civs immediately felt unique and asymmetrical in a way AoE2's never did. Sure they've polished it up a bit since launch, but the core identity hasn't changed and has always been good IMHO.

I didn't play the game day 1, but probably when the first couple of months. Personally I loved the game back then. I was addicted, playing every day with my main the Delhi Sultanate. I stopped after one of the first patches where they completely nerfed one of the (at the time) main play-styles of Delhi, which was based on going after monuments early on to put pressure on your opponents. As someone who is new to RTS, nerfing the strategy I had committed so much time to as a new player hurt a lot, and on top of that the strategy was really the only way I liked to play at the time (not hard to imagine with so few civs). Nerfing Delhi basically eliminated that playstyle or at least I was too weak of a player to make it work with any other civ so that was when I quit.

I have always been wanting to get into Age of Empires, and I had played 2 a decent amount, but I only ever started playing a lot of Age and entering the ranked ladder in 4. For me, the absolute diversity of the civs is really interesting because it means that I have to adjust my approach based on my opponent and what they are trying to do. I also think it helps players with a lot of different approaches get into the game. I personally like a lot of aggression, so I play English for their longbow rush, but other players who prefer booming will get more out of the Abbasids. It can accommodate so many different approaches, even within a single civ. It really is a shame that this game is a slept on as it is because I think it is exemplary, and it honestly might make it a bit hard to go back to something like 2. I really hope the new DLC brings in a lot of new players, even if I think naming a Civ after a whole person gets a bit too “great man/woman of history” for my own tastes.

Why do many people dislike AOE 4? I think it looks pretty good. Do people prefer AOE 2 because it’s genuinely good or just because they enjoy the nostalgia?

AoE 4 released in a poor state but has gotten better with time. AoE2 is just a classic that has stood the test of time. I don't think you can go wrong with either tbh. AoE 4 has a bit more QoL but apart from that just pick what interests you more

I'm in the same boat, bought on release and put in 12-15 hours at best then uninstalled. I didn't refund it for whatever reason. I installed it a week ago and it's all I've been playing. I went against my "no pre-purchase policy" and scooped the expansion to show the devs some love, they've done a great job.

Except besides the bug fixes… a lot of these features (sound design, civ diversity, etc.) were in the game at launch.

You are right. I liked aoe4 throughout when it came out; when half their fans base was shitting on them. Why? Largely because of production value and historical authenticity. But with the ‘variant civilisation’ they have crossed a line…no consistency and poor design and zero allegiance to historical authenticity…

Yeah I think it's a risky move. I have some thoughts I'll share in a future video.

Exactly, I might add it is probably a product of some internal management change - who are more focused on quirks, playability that immersion.. How can a game that so emphasised historical authenticity (Mongols are literally nomadic!!) suddenly dispense with it all through cheap names like Order of the Dragon, Jeanne D'arc..etc.. @@ChillyEmpire

couldn't agree more (esp. on points 2 and 3). but this is also what worries me about the upcoming variant civs..

Hadn't gotten into an RTS since Age of Mythology and was really surprised by how seamless AOE4 felt. This video helped me to understand why it felt that way when I've bounced off of other RTS games in the past. :) Also holy crap the amount of effort required to get the footage for this video is nuts! Excellent work.

as long as the game on it's own or through a usable mod list offers very powerful options of changing hotkeys and UI I am willing to play most RTS games, this doesn't tend to be the case though

the biggest issue with AOE4 is the Early access sold as a finished game. Because devs really bring the game to another level, and I wasn’t optimistic at the start.

Reviews seem to say it played it too safe, and isnt technically enough of a jump. But id be intrigued to check it out if it comes to ps5, which now seems it could, with xbx games coming to ps.

I played the beta for the game, but once it was released I didn't touch it for a very long time. Just about a month ago I started to check it out again, and I've been loving it. I agree with all the points you made, especially regarding sound design, music, attention to detail, and asymmetric civ designs. I'm also very happy with the updates they've made to the game since launch, including revamping some of the landmarks, adding some new units, and the new free civs. I've also loved the campaigns; I thought they were well-made and educational, and I really enjoy all the additional information they include in the forms of text and videos to highlight specific people, events, or aspects of life for the civs. The civ mastery system also includes a ton of neat extra info, so it all really drives home the desire to use the game as a vehicle to teach real history. I love that. I'm really looking forward to the DLC next month. I'm excited to learn more about the Crusades and to check out all the new civs, especially the Japanese and Order of the Dragon from what we've heard so far.

I still love the game but it died on Xbox so bad. They introduced Crossplay and playerbase went from like 15k ranked players to 3k ranked
