For those that feel so aggrieved about Age of Empires Online that they have to tell everyone ... this is the thread for you. Put your complaints in here and then anyone who cares about trying to make something of the game knows which thread they shouldn't read.

It's not that I hate AOEO, its just that I am unsure in the way it is going.
Graphics shouldn't be the entire reason you play a game, just an added bonus. Really, I can't complain about the game because I haven't played it.

reasons why it looks to be bad:
-only 1 civ
-cartoon graphics
-seems like its gonna give an advantage to people who have played more, and not because of experience because of better tech choices or units
-only available on windows live
-Seems like they will charge for additional civs and content in the future

If all this stuff is what its gonna be like its gonna be a poopie game

Yes, live does suck, ESO worked pretty well, besides lots of problems.


And they only have 1 civ for now, so I hope that will change.

The biggest problem with AOEO is that RE simply isn't aiming for a competitive RTS game. I can't really blame them considering how much money they'll likely haul in from whatever payment scheme they're planning on imposing. Anyway it'd be hilarious if this topic ends up as the most replied-to topic in the AOEO forum :lol:

tbh this thread is supposed to be for those who fall into the 'i hate aoeo and will never buy it' camp ... not those who have concerns about parts of the game but aren't decided about it .. that's what the other threads are for

Ok, good. It is nice to have more places to complain about the game. I think everyone might be in the, "I'm not going to buy it camp", though, since after all, it is free.

I was wrong about my first assessment though. Actually, the game is more like... Well, if SimCity were a real place in the World of Warcraft, and that was forced into a FarmVille skin, and called aoe, then I think you'd find we'd arrived at the final product.

If you read the FAQ, it is stated that there will be new civs at launch and post-launch
-Seems like they will charge for additional civs and content in the future
Oh hey, that's not what happened with TWC or TAD now, is it?

Of course, I'd like just having to buy the game as usual too but as long as the expansions aren't totally overprized etc., it could still be ok.

I don't "hate" aoeo, but I do hate my replies being deleted.

I mean I am just so pissed this game doesn't have hexagonal shaped maps ><

I hate AoEO because it has nothing to do with the age of series.
Why go back from a nearly balanced game with incredible graphics and a big success in it's first years , into a cartoon game with quests to unlock and sucky units. Hold on for a second , take a deep breath and ask yourself , if I wanted a competitive REAL TIME STRATEGY game , would I play AoEO ?
There are 3 possibilities:
This is a game produced from RE for their fans waiting for their other project.
The age of series just ended the road and ended the fanbase's hopes.
It's a joke.
