Age of Empires II HD

I really love that we use the remote possibility of Steampunk to entice Gus into buying things. Hey Gus, I hear some modders are working on a Steampunk mod for My Little Pony: Horsie Adventure. Or, their *might* be some modders doing something like this. ;)

I'll probably get AoE soon, at the reduced preorder price. I loved it back in the day and the gameplay is pretty solid.

The steampunk mod for Barbie Pubic Hair Salon with the Gunny expansion is far and away better than the My Little Pony mod.

I shudder to think just how many hours I spent (or wasted, take your pick) on AoE II and Rise of Nations back in the day. Both would easily make my Top Ten RTS of All Time list -- and yet this doesn't seem all that enticing to me ... feels gimmicky for some reason ...

I would play that game, were it real.

AOE II HD doesn't have zoom or am I missing something?

I have just downloaded. Don't know.

Holy crap, didn't realize it was out already! Hmm.

Couldn't tell you, sorry. It's been too long since I played.

No zoom. The game is half beer/pretzels and half nostalgia.

So is there a final verdict? Is it a gimmick or does it deliver the goods still, 15 years later? Temptation is calling...

I didn't buy it. Still can't justify it. Looking at the gameplay videos made me sad. That time and place are over.

I think you're ahead of your own curve. It only took you 4 pages to figure this out.
