While I havent yet played Definitive Edition much, I did play the HD Edition of AoE 2 and spent almost 300 hours playing the campaings (and after I had finished them they still added some new campaings + the ones in Definitive Edition), so if you are playing at hardest difficulty through all the campaings you are looking at +300 hours of gameplay from the campaings I would say…depending ofc how well you know the maps/how good player you are.īut ye, while Age 2 campaings might not have quite the same variety that Warcraft III campaing missions have, definitely not all of them are about building massive army and crushing the enemy that way. While ofc you can say majority of the campaign missions are like that, there are also missions where you are playing with limited amount of units and resources (no base building/traditional resource gathering) and overall I would say there is enough variety there to keep you interested. The AoE2 campaigns? Are the missions just mass units and crush enemy? I would hope Blizzard would take notes and example from what Microsoft is doing with Age of Empires, to create all this new excitment for that franchise, but it seems to me that they just dont care that much…as long as they think RTS as this “niche” genre that is not going to create lots of revenue, we wont see any such effort taken by Blizzard. Still they should have treated WC3: Reforged with same amount of respect that Microsoft is clearly doing with Age of Empires. Ofc I wish that Blizzard had remade first two games entirely, Reforged WC III and then also release Warcraft IV eventually, but sadly its clear that the Blizzard we once knew that would have eagerly done all that is long gone.
However I must also emphasize that Microsoft clearly had bigger plan to revive Age of Empires franchise as whole and remaster ALL these previous games leading up to Age of Empires IV…īlizzard meanwhile treated WC3: Reforged as single remaster, I doubt they had any plans to actually make WC IV.
Well there is no question AoE II: Definitive Edition was much more polished product that also offered some new content.
