Anybody investing in this game? I don't know... with all the other amazing t1tles out there I can't see myself spending money on this game.

Will have to wait and see.

I'll talk about Black & White 2 in that thread... I haven't gotten bored of it yet :)

AoE3. I played the demo, and I really wasn't impressed. Graphically, only the water looked amazing, but after seeing games like Myst V and B&W2 with the same water effects, (as well as many earlier games) it doesn't mean much.

Also, advancing through the ages brings little joy, after Rise of Nations. The number of ages suddenly seems incredibly feeble. (Only about 6 ages I think!)

The gameplay has one enormous change: the addition of "decks" and experience. As you gain experience (either from owning certain points on the map, or by killing enemy units), you may pick various bonuses, including extra units and extra resources. The bonuses you may pick depend on how much you have played the game, and how much you experience you have am@ssed in total.

Actually, I believe this deck thing will detract from the game, and unless it can be disabled, I reckon the old AoE fans will be seriously disappointed...

All in all, I wasn't nearly as hyped about this as AoE2.

I hope you're right OX - it actually looks like they just upgraded the graphics and slapped a 3 at the end.

Dunno - we'll see
