We wuz Kangz 2.0- the team behind Alberto Barbosa has gone and removed all references to Colonialism from a game about COLONIZING, removed native civ abilities to be "accurate," and fucked up the UI, audio and graphics on top of it. Why isn't anyone talking about this? Another classic raped by the kotaku squad.

When will they stop going back and destroying everything we love? When will it be enough for them?
Cooper Cooper
Because if you talk about it you'r a racist
Parker Perry
So who is the target audience of this game if they pretend to appeal to nostalgia fans, yet they decide to butcher almost every single aspect of it?
Brayden Ross
they intend to bait people into thinking the gameplay is improved and "the other changes are mostly cosmetic at least" like aoe2 HD's expansions. Or HOMM3 remastered.
Brayden Hughes
I thought about getting it just to show I love the base game and the AOE franchise. These changes are a mess. Can anyone confirm they made the Russian villagers black?
Nicholas Bailey
I refunded the game myself yesterday, it's a fucking travesty. The SJW revisionism is the least of it, they turned it into some kind of hideous cartoony Warcraft shit and removed core gameplay mechanics.
Josiah Hill
I'll never buy a game that supports this kind of bullshit.
Dylan Gutierrez
Won't be buying it because of this woke bullshit. I already own the original game both on steam and the original discs. I have no need to buy this cannibalized woke garbage.
It's hilarious because the white liberals who are getting rid of things like "plantations" are actually whitewashing history by pretending this didn't exist and wasn't a big part of the colonial age.
Christian Phillips
AoEIII was a literal 3/10, they can change whatever the fuck they want about it and I do not care. God knows nobody would buy this turd if it was a 1:1 HD port.
Jack Allen
>says the fire pit was racist and removed it for making the Native Americans seem like mystical savages
>but for their brand new Inca faction, they have a building that does the same exact thing and is equally as nonsensical and vaguely magical by having villagers walk around a Nazca Line type path as a form of ritual to summon buffs

>microsoft still desperately trying to make fake outrage shill threads
>they keep dying
hahahahahaha noone wants your shitty remake, the original is fine.
Charles Gray
Why the fuck are they remaking AoE3? Nobody liked AoE3.
Wyatt Gutierrez
>people want Microsoft to dominate the industry
Just as bad if not worse than Sony.
Angel Phillips
They should have remake AoM. The campaign would be even more marvelous.
Brayden Cook
This
the issue isn't that they are trying to more accurately represent the native american groups, that's fine
the problem is they are purely doing it as preformative woke shit, as evidenced by them still mishandling the Inca, or not updating the Inca, Aztec, and Maya's building graphics in the AOE2 DE so they still look like shitty ruins instead of how their buildings actually looked, even though they updated other faction's stuff
pic related is a fan mod which does that with the aztec's building art
Juan Ortiz
I mean none of the factions look like that. Go check the wonders page for a comparison of all the wonders. They are all greyish buildings with a few lines of faction color. No way they would put something like that in when color coded armies is part of the design. I have no idea what team thats supposed to be.
Joshua Baker
I didn't know this game was already out, since there was just controversy and no hype. So we are stuck with those shit changes forever now?
Is that mod for the HD or the DE edition? If the latter, is there any way to install mods in a pirated version of the game?
Julian Johnson
OP here, not a shill at all. I've been playing AOE since I was a kid and finding out about this shit today made me madder than I have been for a long time. I hope you're right that nobody wants their shitty remake.
Jonathan Turner
How do you go from AoE2DE to AoE3DE? rofl
No hope for AoE4 now.
Luke Williams
I also love AoE 3. This shits a cash grab.
Christian Price
>Native Americans speaking their real language? WOKE GARBAGE
You people need lobotomies
Kevin Powell
Different developers I think. It certainly doesn't feel or look like it was made by the same people. Whoever did this did an awful job across the board at any rate. The new cartoony graphics alone kill it.
Kevin Torres
AoE4 will be a mobile game with a PC. You can tell from the trailers due to the simplified graphics.
No doubt it will have microtransactions, too.
Matthew Flores
I mean, what the mod I did posted is probably too garish to be accurate anyways
Pic related is more accurate (though the big pyramid did have more painted/non-white sections) and would be fine for team-ideifnciation, just changing the accent colors on a per-team basis
The point is that as Aztec and Maya stuff is in AOE2, it's all grey cobblestone and looks awful when actual Aztec, Maya, and other Mesoamerican stuff had smooth stucco on it and paint, relifs, etc
it's the 2013 release
Camden Brown
*makes the Egyptians black*
Nolan Smith
For whatever it's worth, I don't think this has sold even a third of what 2 did, but that was always going to be the case whether they did a good job or not since most people never liked 3 anyway.

>Classic
lmao
Connor Martinez
Frankly I'd just be happy with an HD version of AoM with the DLC included.
And rebalanced, obviously.
Ryder Brown
Are you the MesoAmericaboo from /his/? I really like how committed you are, if so.
Zachary Carter
You say from /his/ but I've been posting about it here on Zig Forums before /his/ even got made
Jackson Adams
>classic
Leo James
I think it looks fine in game. Even the wonder I mean what would you do? Paint it white so it looks more like the pic? Theres better faction buildings to take a stand on. One of the wonders here is the Aachen cathedral and they butchered the poor thing.
Kevin James
I only really notice you on /his/ when you really get into discussions with people. Are you also the guy that drew some big Meso American butts in grayscale after we talked about Huemac? It was a long time ago.
Ian Howard
>Mesonybro shits up and derails yet another thread
Kill yourself.
Austin Howard
I mean, yeah, just giving the Templo Mayor and the Tikal temple there stucco (and red paint for the Tikal temple, I know it needs to be still be team colored them, but othere buildings get away withyelloiwish or reddish neutral tones) instead of bare brick/stone would be enough
But other Aztec/Maya buildings are more fundamentally shitty
Jackson Scott
>Are you also the guy that drew some big Meso American butts in grayscale after we talked about Huemac? It was a long time ago.
Nah, I don't into art
Chase Thompson
Not being able to mine gold seems like it could have cool gameplay implications. But with the animals it just seems like they're taking out features.
