Not my favorite Age of (it's Mythology), but it is for many people


The Definitive Edition (remaster) is releasing in 2 months!

My freshman-year college roommate was addicted to this and oh God I feel myself turning to dust.

Not my favorite RTS series but definitely one of the most memorable.

I remember spending countless weekend nights on my father's laptop (the only computer capable of running the game in my home) playing this game with my friends. I played 2 a lot more than 1, though.

Hope AoE4 is better than 3; something about it never "clicked" as well as the first two, and I'm not sure if it was the more advanced time period or not.

My computer teacher in HS introduced my friends and I to this. I don't know how we were allowed to play the game during class but that was a dope 45 minutes.

AoEII and AoM are far and away my favourite RTSs of all time. I don't have much faith in 4 but nothing would make me happier than a true renaisance. The endless string of Remasters and Definitive Editions have whet my appetite somewhat but it's time for them to deliver something new rather than getting people to buy something two and three times over.

AoE was one of my first experiences of a real game when I was young. It's such a shame that there's nothing equivalent for kids today.

Jesus, November has Doom Eternal, Death Stranding and AoE2: DE. And I don't have a Switch so I'm leaving Pokemon out. All of this in like what a week? two weeks?

I love this game, been playing it since probably a bit after release (2000 or 2001 I think), never been too competitive about it, but still playing it a lot, specially with friends

Two decades later and it is still getting new expansions/updates.

A true classic, it really does still hold up.

One of RTS's greatest games of all time. Looking forward to the definitive edition after playing the HD edition a bunch.

AoE2 is truly one of the all-time GOAT games. It has aged like fine wine.

Can't wait to get my hands on the remastering in a few months.

We had installed this on the (supposedly inaccessible) teachers' network drive in middle school and had massive 12-way (or however much it supported) matches during lunch and some boring classes. Great times, even better game.

I remember playing this game a lot back in MSN Gaming Zone with dial up and lag when someone was trying to call on the landline, good times.

This is one of those games that I never "got". I played it quite a while but I never liked it like most people did, and I always loved RTS. I did play a lot of Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds though.

Oh wow I didn't know this was a thing. It looks great. Much better without bloom. The bloom makes it so hazy.
