Graphics looks like its for kids though =/, but I guess we cant judge until we can actually play it. Some of the concepts seem interesting. Your thoughts?

I hear this, but I also hear it will be distributed digitally and use the GfWL infrastructure (or maybe it does that whilst using a browser?). Either way, i'm unsure.

God I hate the graphics, I am no fan of browser based games, and on top of the GFWL? Dammit, I want a real AoE. Microsoft go back to your 360, PC was just fine without your ass.

Oh great, Age of empires mixed with Farmville. Another great RTS series down the drain...

let me rephrase that, it looks like its being marketed towards casuals, where as the other 3 AoE and AoM series of games were marketed to the hard core rts fans.

It looks like BF Heroes, which I hated that stupid cartoon engine.

Its not a damn browser game and it is nothing like farmville. Seriously people read the previews and watch the videos before you spread misinformation.

I freakin' Loved AOEII and I recently started playing the Conquerors Expansion again. I can't tell you how happy I am to see AOEO.

Besides Aren't Hardcore RTS Fans playing Starcraft 2 now?

Ok, not sure what the point is your trying to get at with this. A good RTS is a good RTS, I for one grew up with AoE and was my first RTS. I can't help but fill this is just one big fail waiting to happen.

The fail AOE3 already happened. Its too late. So might as well let go. This one may actually be good.
