    Thoughts after playing AoE2 DE

    Posted: 15 Nov 2019 01:09 AM PST

    Hi, i'm long time fan of AoE2 who has about 500hrs on the original CD release and 300hrs on HD edition playing through campaigns and tons of random maps with a.i. So after spending my entire night playing the Definitive Edition, here are my thoughts on the game.

    Gameplay: - It's just what i expect from watching the early reviews. There is a great deal of improvements which gives me more choices in gameplay. Can't wait to see how these changes affect the pro scene in the long run.

    • Some campaign missions were reworked ( Forgotten campaigns have voices now yay).

    Graphics: - Overall the graphics is fantastic. I'm also glad that they keep the options of disabling bloom and animated fogs cuz these effects are a bit too distracting for my taste.

    -I think it's a shame that they didn't have the classic Graphic option like AoE DE. Would have been great when i want to crank that nostalgia counter to an 11.

    Sounds: - Sfx and music tracks are solid. There's not a lot for me to say about it. Though i don't hear any death scream when i slaughter my enemies so i'm thinking it could be a bug.

    • The voices in the campaigns are a hit or miss for me. They can range from great to mehhh. The voices don't really have the same charm as their original counterparts.

    Performance: - There's a a few performance issues during my first hours, mostly freezes and framedrops. I really do hope that the devs can make the game more stable soon.

    7/10

    What are your thoughts on the game ?

    [OFFICIAL BENCHMARK TOPIC] Post Config + Settings + Benchmark Results

    Posted: 15 Nov 2019 05:57 AM PST

    Hi guys, due to the recent drama about game performance, I've decided to start a topic on the benchmark tool provided by the game. This way we can compare our results and try to understand what is happening, and why some people are having very poor performance. Please try to follow the same post format so its easier for us to compare.

    System Requirements for Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition

    MINIMUM:

    Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

    OS: Windows 10 64bit

    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64x2 5600+

    Memory: 4 GB RAM

    Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 420 or ATI™ Radeon™ HD 6850 or Intel® HD Graphics 3000 or better with 2 GB VRAM

    DirectX: Version 11

    Network: Broadband Internet connection

    Storage: 30 GB available space

    RECOMMENDED:

    Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

    OS: Windows 10 64bit

    Processor: 2.4 Ghz i5 or greater or AMD equivalent

    Memory: 8 GB RAM

    Graphics: Nvidia® GTX 650 or AMD HD 5850 or better

    DirectX: Version 11

    Network: Broadband Internet connection

    Storage: 30 GB available space

    Test Procedure:

    Without anything else running on your PC, open the game, set the graphic settings and run the benchmark tool. You can use steam overlay to check FPS, or other software like MSI Afterburner.

    My Config:

    OS: Windows 8.1 Single Language 64-bit

    Processor: i7-4700MQ @ 2.4 GHz (Turbo Boost 3.4GHz)

    GPU: GTX 770M 3GB VRAM

    Memory: 8GB DDR 3 1600 MHz

    Storage: 240 GB SSD

    Test 1:

    Graphics Settings: 1080p, Low, Enhanced Graphics Disabled, VSYNC OFF, Full Screen, 100% Zoom Out

    Results: https://imgur.com/cEqojlv

    Benchmark Score: 955.3

    Average FPS during benchmark: ~15 FPS (measured with MSI Afterburner on-screen display)

    Test 2:

    Graphics Settings: 1080p, Ultra, Enhanced Graphics Disabled, VSYNC OFF, Full Screen, 100% Zoom Out

    Results: https://imgur.com/a/O3fTBSN

    Benchmark Score: 899.9

    Average FPS during benchmark: ~12 FPS (measured with MSI Afterburner on-screen display)

    My comments on this: It is clear to me that the game is running without utilizing all my resources, GPU and CPU usage are low, while performance is poor. I have also noted that the game does not run on TRUE FULL SCREEN, this can be checked by using alt+tab and placing other stuff in front of the game screen. This should not be able in true full screen applications. Windowed (even if maximized) games lose a lot of performance.

    So disappointed that DE didn't get remake of this masterpiece

    Posted: 14 Nov 2019 12:18 PM PST

    Is it just me or does AOE2:DE lack skeletons?

    Posted: 14 Nov 2019 10:50 PM PST

    A part of age of empires 2 was seeing the colossal pile of skeletons and corpses after a huge battle, was that removed?

    Units that die just turn into 2 dots of red now.

    Well. I’m in love with DE.

    Posted: 14 Nov 2019 08:15 PM PST

    Sorry Hd. But DE is basically the SAME game as the original with gameplay efficiency and a really good soundtrack and noise system. I'm loving the game. So clean, so fun.

    I've already burned through the Joan of Arc campaign in 3 hours.
