age of empires-does anyone has them?

well does anyone have age of empires 1-3 ???

 

nope but i've played 1 and 2 and the demo of 3..

personally i never liked age of empire because theres only 1 race.. it lacks of versatility..

 

I hated Age of Empires 2. I didn't play the others. The factions were far too similar. And I didn't like the gameplay at all.

 

I agree with you..

 

only one race? but theirs like 8 civilizations!
the similular fractions i agree but on the 3rd one its sorted out.

 

The first one I loved when I was a kid, and in the second game I saw one of the comps was named after an English king that I'm related to.

 

I got number 2 and the expansion. I like 'em. Sure, the races are all the same (Except the Aztecs and Mayans in the expansion), but it's still a good amount of fun. The unique units especially are fun, and the races with what techs, units, and bonuses they have are historically accurate.

 

I got both AoE1 and AoE2 that came with the breakfast cereal. I didn't really like it that much though, too loyal to starcraft

 

Ive playn the 2nd and 3rd

 

The problem with AoE is that they are cut and paste races with like one or two special units. WC2 was like this and then when SC came out everyone loved how they were completely different and that has become the norm. Or rather should be the norm. Also, for the people who really want to fight in that time period, Rome: Total War and Medieval 2: Total War provide a much better experience for it because each race is different from the others.

 

I've played through both AoE1 and AoE2 and i will never waste so much time in my life ever again. Apart from playing SC2, that is... :thumbup:

 

Weren't the campaign missions so ridiculously long too? Like over an hour...

 

i have age of empires 2 but i dont find that age of empires is better than sc I ^^

 

I got AoE 1 in the breakfast cereal too. I played for quite a while, but I got very bored. Starcraft is probably the best strategy game I've ever played.

I've never played AoE 2 or 3.

Agreed, lol. I can't recall how many hours I wasted over that game.

 

The longness of the game is what made it fun, cause at the end of every mission both sides have these huge armies.

 

except that it get very repetitive very fast because you knew it would take so long to finish and it eventually became a chore.

 

I liked AOE2 at first, but it got old pretty quick. The most fun to be had was marching around with a huge group of longbowmen and annihilating any unit in your path. And the trebuchet's were pretty rad.

 

trebuchets were so slow. They were like siege tanks in that you had to set them up except they sucked because they were so weak and could not attack when not set up.

 

What do you expect? They weren't made like tanks, they are a support unit. I personally loved having them behind the lines to help me take out the important buildings before my men can break through to get there, but I always backed them up with Pikemen so I don't get a suprise calvary rush like I always do.

 

i hated the game anyways so it really doesn't matter.
