    One of my favorite games since I was a kid...can't wait for this one! This is the only thing good IMO which came from Micro$h4ft

    The last one i need to complete my collection. It will be released in October, but i still won't buy it, since its going to be Windows Store exclusive, and will only work on Windows 10 (don't know how that is going to work out).

    I am a big fan of age empires. Age of empires begins with all new transformation graphics, remastered sound and music. Its a really definitive empires edition

    loved the AOE series since i was a young man, but im not sure about this release, ive been disappointed with a few trips ive taken down memory lane, and some reports are saying the game has bugs and crashes aplenty, im thinking about giving this a miss.

    sorry mate, im not trying to influence your decision one way or the other, i tell you what i did do today though, i installed command and conquer red alert 3, i had brought it a number of years ago way back when i had a machine with a HD3650 and it didnt like it at all, so i thought what the heck, lets try it, and its been super fun, looks great for its age and is so much fun.
    perhaps you will find just as much fun with AOE as i have with RA3

    Wait, what?!? I don't remember it being 17GBs...
    That's a hell of a remaster!
