Quote of the moment Vol.2

In Which December flies in the sky with Santa Claus and the Reindeers!

Hello, my friend, reader of this present post, maybe past ones as well, perhaps future ones too. How are you, this new week? Another one for the height of the most beautiful season! How is the christmas going? For me, it is quite tranquil, I don't want to lament much. I do have some bad moments, for example, as I mentioned on the other post, when Sims 3 broke on me, and took me a week to figure out what was causing such issues. I have great news, concerning that! I figured it out: it was OneDrive! I understand better why so many have Windows 11 fatigue, though I resist to share of the sentiment. It did bother me that I was facing the OneDrive overreach issues, but once they were solved, I could resume my Sims 3 shenanigans. Of course, as I mentioned before, I was even committed to take a break from the game. Though such commitment is not necessary, nor justifiable anymore, neither is respectful towards all my hard work on figuring out the issues, an era ended with Sims 3, but anoth...

In which we talk BRIEFLY about my first impressions on Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition!

Hey guys and good morning and happy Saturday! How are you today and how are things going? How is the weather? Here it is HOT! I don't wanna say too hot, but you guys know me, I'm a person that prefers the cold, anyway, I wish you the best, as usual! Today's post is gonna be improv as usual, and it will be a bit its and bits because I'm watching the Saxy Gamer Livestream while I write! I had class today also, which is odd, but the teacher explained the situation, so yea, it happens! Today I'd like to ramble just a bit about the DE of AOE! What does that mean? Let's jump in to see!

So, I've been a long life fan of Age of Empires, been playing since 2005, so I even got the Remaster of AOE III, my favorite, in pre-sale! When the day come, October 15th, took FOREVER to upload the game! The download part was somewhat fast, but the unpack of the game? Dear God took 105 years! Anyway, so I played it, and I lost my first game playing as Sweden, the new civ added, I'm a bit rusty on the game, because I haven't played it since February, so I think that's excusable, even if I lost it on stream. What I've seen from the game, they changed some stuff. Example: The Iroquois and Sioux Civs are no more, being replaced by more "accurate representations" or whatever this means... It's interesting that they care so much about "accuracy" because have you seen the Metropolis for Russia, St. Petersburg?

This screenshot is from 2014 as you can see, so this is not the definitive edition at all, but they didn't change the look of the metropolis, just made it 4K quality, so yea, moving on, you must agree that...

It definitely do not look like that at all, and this comes from a game that puts Elizabeth I and Frederick II of Prussia on the same map, and it goes on, anyway, this is merely aesthetics, the most significant change is the fact that you don't need to level up to unlock better cards on the game, which is a big bummer if I do say so myself, because that kind of takes away the investment and the care you have for that city state, but I don't know, I get it, it can have its good side, but I still think it's kind of a bummer....

They changed the banner for Russia as well, and changed the images for the leaders. I think the most significant one, apart from the aesthetic changes, is the card system indeed. It is a bummer as well that you can't customize the home city for Sweden, Stockholm, even if it does look gorgeous already. I also found some glitches while playing, but well, enough with the rant, I think the remaster is okay, a 8-10 for sure, but those are only my first impressions, because the thing was only now released, we gotta see my final opinion as time goes by, if I remember I'll try to write it down here as well... Anyway, you guys know my improv style, thank you so much for being here, means a lot! Have a peaceful weekend and I see you real soon!
