I mean the weirder thing is that they didn't talk about the .hack collection coming to the West this year nor that android 18 is added to DBFZ.

Which are frankly both bigger news than AoE.

Go away
You
You weird person you

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Dude.

.hack collection.

A long dead series finally revived.

That's really huge news compared to some RTS.

are you, like, fucking with us

 

[Human Trashcan]

Dude.

.hack collection.

A long dead series finally revived.

That's really huge news compared to some RTS.

I don't even know what .hack is, Meanwhile AoE 2 is one of the most popular RTS games of all time.

So. No. It's bigger to you maybe but to non-weebs it isn't

 

[formated4tv]

I mean, that's what an algorithm is going to do for you. no-ones checking this stuff. You may have said a word that sounds like "fuck" according to the system in one of the blocked ones or whatever.

I'm really hoping the knee-jerk isn't their final answer to the problem which is advertisers wanting more control over where their ads appear. They need a dashboard to check off what kind of content they're happy with. But since advertisers demanded a solution immediately and that tool wasn't in place, they had to go scorched earth for now.

I've 'accepted' the algorithm shit for a lot of what Youtube makes people deal with, but either flag a game or not.

That's the part I'm more irritated with, haha.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Dude.

.hack collection.

Is it revived, though? Or have they just prettied up the corpse?

 

[derFeef]

This is slightly triggering me.

He's clearly messing with me.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I feel like AoE4 will come out and be like Diablo 3, where a bunch of shit feels awkward and "off." Then a console release is announced and everyone says "oh."

 

[Antiwhippy]

are you, like, fucking with us

Spoiler

Kinda.

 

[oti]

I don't even like RTS games but my computer Europeness feels attacked by that post.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

The real tragedy is that it'll probably launch as a Windows store exclusive so nobody will care when it comes out at first and like 4 people will buy it.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

seriously though the Company of Heroes team making a modern war Age of Empires would be dope

 

[Hasney]

They've already said it is. At least 1-3 is.

 

[Zaph]

Spoiler

Kinda.

Is that code for you mean it but you now want to walk it back?

 

[HashtagLapsed]

That is true.

 

[derFeef]

Oh a lot of people will care. A lot of people already care about that point

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Real talk: If they don't include E=MC2 and Whos your Daddy in AoE Definitiv they might as well cancel it now.

They've already said it is. At least 1-3 is.

I already have 2 on Steam which is all the old AoE I need (I also still have the dope collection if I ever want to revisit AoE I)

Oh a lot of people will care. A lot of people already care about that point

Fair enough

 

[Antiwhippy]

Is that code for you mean it but you now want to walk it back?

Nah I actually mean it.

But I'm not that delusional.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Nah I actually mean it.

Well, don't hold your breath. I just saw this in that YouTube thread:

https://twitter.com/Gadgetgirlkylie/status/900017730266554368

Oh dear.

For those with Twitter blocked: GadgetGirlKylie apparently got a response from YouTube that informed her that if the bot can't figure out what content is in the video, it marks it as advertiser-unfriendly.

Again, if the bot doesn't understand what the video's about or includes, it assumes the worst.

:lol. They just don't give a shit, clearly.

I'm a certified european and I'm way more excited for .hack coming back than AoE.

i love how awesome dans hair used to be

 

[Human Trashcan]

yeah

awesome

 

[Fantastapotamus]

If you told me that guy is the head of the hippest new start-up in San Francisco I would totally buy shares cause that's the hair of a guy who is about to sell his app for billions of dollars.

 

[patapuf]

Did they never check out UEBS?

Yeah, there's a quiclook on the site.




I really hope Epic nails AOE 4. I've never liked Blizzards RTS's and it's been a while since we got a high budget traditional one. AOE 2 and Empire Earth are some of my best gaming memories.

Oh shit thank you.

I've been trying to remember the name of that RTS I used to play a lot and it is Empire Earth.

Pachinko went better than expected. I was prepared for waaay worse.

Don't worry, we still have the lily pad ride to come.

[RumbleHumble]

Dude.

.hack collection.

A long dead series finally revived.

That's really huge news compared to some RTS.

A believed-dead, still regularly adored RTS. Age of Empires even had name recognition (and players) among my friends who couldn't give a shit about games otherwise.

[nckillthegrimace]

Don't worry Whippy, I'd rather hear about Android 18 than Age of Empires.

.hack is kind of whatever, though...

I'm actually pretty excited because it's one of those JRPG series that I wanted to get into but was impossible to find in australia back then.

 

[Tagyhag]

I can understand them not liking AoE but not even a passing mention, when Gamescom wasn't even that chockful of news, is incredibly surprising. I can guarantee you that Brad saw the news and chose not to include it.

 

[Glass Shark]

.

 

[Phatmac]

Brad's bad at picking news in general. He misses a lot of interesting new and just pics general topics to talk about.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It's probably because AoE is a Microsoft property and GB are Sony shills


I'm certain that's it

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I don't think he's a great host, but the real bummer is that I don't know that there would be any suitable replacements, either.

 

[Phatmac]

He's fine for hosting, but I wish he did a better job at looking for more interesting news. It's a small complaint.

FANTA, please. We fight over Australian cities in here.

SYDNEY IS TRASSSSSSSSH

That's not nice, I know a very nice lady from Giant Bomb .com that is from Sydney.

Once you move here you dislike Berlin with a passion, just so we're clear. Do you understand?

 

[formated4tv]

Well, don't hold your breath. I just saw this in that YouTube thread:

HAHAHAHA, HOLY SHIT.

That's such an amazing blase stance to take on this shit.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I dunno, I think Brad is doing a pretty great job as host

FANTA, please. We fight over Australian cities in here.

Don't get me started on Linz. Most boring village in the world. It's soooooooooooo boring. And Klagenfurt? All you need to know about that hole is that it's the state capital of Kärnten, and of course we all know what that means


Oh wait

 

[Dangansona]

Once you move here you dislike Berlin with a passion, just so we're clear. Do you understand?

I'm more of a Nuremburg kind of guy.

Berlin was cool enough. My favorite part is the sony center lol.

But I'll do as you ask Oti.

 

[derFeef]

Not sure if people are serious when they belittle AoE in here.
But hey, ANIME RULES right?

Don't get me started on Linz. Most boring village in the world. It's soooooooooooo boring. And Klagenfurt? All you need to know about that hole is that it's the state capital of Kärnten, and of course we all know what that means

Lucky you did not mention my City
Village, lol.

 

[Scizzy]

I think Brad is great too, but I sometimes wonder if it's just because I keep comparing him to late period Jeff who clearly hated doing it on a weekly basis. Incidentally, I would love a Beastcast experiment and see what an Alex-hosted version would sound like. I'd probably love it, but it wouldn't be a widely held opinion.

 

[Meguro]

This is a fair avatar quote.
Still stand by what I said tho.
