So I just installed Age of Empires II + the expansion pack for the first time after having it lay unopened on a shelf for like 6 years
( Read more... )
I tried to actually play this just to see if the graphics seemed ugly these days (I don't remember feeling one way or the other about them when I bought it) - not only did I find out my Conquerors disk didnt work anymore (fuck playing without farm queues), but that I couldn't go at a resolution higher than 1024x768 (1280x1024 was there but not selectable). To top it all off, when I tried to start a game, it'd load but the units weren't visible.
Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to even try playing it after all this time?
you know, I'm not entirely sure. I think I just wanted something heavy-but-not-too-heavy on strategy and/or tactics to play whenever i decide to take a 30 minute break from whatever i'm busy breaking my back over these days... and remembered all the hype surrounding this game back when it came out.
But I've opted for Commandos instead hehe. I'm a sucker for tactical isometric squad based games.
I have this constantly accumulating pile of games lying on my shelf that I've bought over the years but just never had the time to play. At least 7 of these boxes haven't even been opened yet.
