Age of Empires III

[DaTT]

I got it for Christmas, been playing it for 3 days (2 days online). Very addicting, but I am really bad at it.......I mean really bad. Maybe it's because I usually play FPS games.....that's what I'm going with.

It is fun though.

Even when you play FPS you tend to be pretty poopoo dung at them....

I think your forgetting my seeeeelz at UT (which we were just talking about on the weekend).....and Global Operations. DC too before I quit then tried to make a grand comeback.

Pfff, I smoked you at DC and Glops.... you only beat me at UT because you had a year headstart

FPS's utilize a completely different skill set when compared to RTS, it takes practice, if you really want to get good I would suggest installing one of the older RTS's so you can get a better feel for the genre, like Starcraft or Warcraft II, then you can build upon that when getting into the newer titles.

I've never been a big fan of the AOE series but if you like it, just be persistent. If you find yourself really enjoying it then I would suggest Rome:Total War which is IMHO the finest RTS to date.

Ohh dont even make me prove it.... you know Im right -- btw you should take ayabe's suggestion and install some older RTS's.... I can lend you Red Alert or Warcraft and we can play a few rounds against the AI.

Cool, you can stop by and we'll play hide the CD, Chris might get jealous though...

I found AOE3 to be pretty disappointing. Other than the great graphics, the game play was exactly the same as AOE2 and AOE.

I can't comment on that, this is my first RTS game.

That would be so cool to do on your opponents canoniers (or whatever they call it)

"huuhhhhh?? whaaaaa? nuclear launch? whaaaat? Bloody hell?"

Any RTS is tough online. Lots of hardcore Korean players.

They still play starcraft instead.

If it's just like AoE and AOE2 then it's a pretty good game. I used to play Rise of Rome ALL the time. such a great game!

And die from playing too much, just like the Chinese with WoW, kinda sad really.

rome: total war is not a real time strategy game

Yeah, it's good, but we all expected an advancement of the genre in some way.

But, ya, AoK is in my top 5 list of pc games.

Mmm... reminds me of the times of Total Annihilation.

I'm loving the campaign so for in AOE3. Good story and fun levels.
