AoE III was excellent. It explored new ideas and did it well. As a long time AoE fan who played all of them since the first, AoE II is massively overhyped, and AoE III is unfairly shit on.

Also they were voluntold to do Halo Wars, and they did a good job on it. It’s a good game, and it did an excellent job on console with a controller scheme, which was impressive at the time.

Ensemble got shafted. They were held up at the time as the leaders of RTS and Microsoft didn’t give a fuck. Just used and abused.

AoE online was clearly executive suite demands. Of course it fucking sucked.

This is why they said “you wouldn’t download a movie.” Because it’s a risky click.

In the U.S. it’s a long propaganda history called “right to work.” It’s sold as being freedom and rights for the people, but really it just strips unionizing rights away and gives corporations power.

Like most laws in the U.S., it’s all lies and only abject morons buy it.

I wonder how much Edward Norton got paid to be in this.

They’re really good at killing them though. I’ll never forgive the death of Ensemble.

Very interesting. Good to know. I just never bothered to try again. Thank you for all the info.

It requires a full reset and starting over from scratch. Whatever. Fucking idiotic complaint to needle in on that one word and a bunch of fucking comments, none of which at all even address my point. But thanks for nothing.

And when so much of gaming is shit.

Have they ever fixed 5ghz wifi? It used to brick my OG deck and then clearly did with OLED as well. Just kept it on 2.4 forever. Stupid ass problem.
