Dont get me wrong, I understand the different poits of view: while personally I am in favour of adding all of the previous features to the new Definitive edition, they Theoriginal Age of Empires (1997) had very beautiful music in the main menu and the Definitive Edition has totally different music there, not even similar. The music there is not remastered, but exchanged. This is a disgrace, the previous music was part of the identity of this game. There is nothing "definitive" about the remastered game. So Nodescription. Before and after comparison shots from the remastered graphics in Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition! AoE3 has never looked that great! Personally in the first comparison slide of the city and the 2nd city slide with the monument, the original looks better overall imo. (except that new monument is nice - mostly because of the stance/colour change) Those aside, the rest of the images include a lot of water which I think distorts things overall. BothAoE 3 and AoE 4 have a review rating of 83-86%. Meanwhile AoE 2 is rated at 94% Similar to Civilization V (96%) vs Civilization VI (85%) Proof that low effort 3D versions aren't automatically better than 2D or old-school graphics. I really don't understand what is so damn hard -- if Age of Empires verbatim copied the 2D sprite style in 3D and Ageof Mythology has a feature where any AI you can pick a personality/playstyle for them. It would be cool to see randomizing AI playstyles in any given game. Where the AI will choose to turtle, be very aggressive, focus on ECO or make more units, and/or just different strategies in general. I know there is a meta for Age of Empires 3. Sometimes even objectives can be different depending on difficulty. #3. CatSup. Nov 15, 2019 @ 1:05pm Usually higher difficulty means upgraded units/buildings and more enemy units.

Discussions Rules and Originallyposted by Farnsworth: If you like the standard AOE gameplay, AOE4 is better. AOE2 and 3 are both much better games than this. #3. jonoliveira12 Oct 31, 2021 @ 7:35am. AoE3 DE is better. AoE4 is like AoE2, but without all the things that made AoE2 actually better than AoE3. #4. c3hRt.
