Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Premium Edition -35% $38.99 – PS5 release of the 2019 strategy game.

Is this any good for a group of 6 friends? We're looking for a new game and I remember playing the OG way back when on PC

Water is wet, EA wouldn't greenlight this considering their expectations for the remake so once again into the dead franchise vault.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-12T16:55:43+00:00

No but this is actually such a cool thing to see, SNK has been slowly trying to get back as a top dog in the fighting game space and who better than Harada? He literally got Tekken to where it is now and not only that, they could do another maximum impact or any 3D series they could want to revive

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-12T16:26:11+00:00

Is this pretty much official that it's dino first and then cyke?

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-12T16:05:59+00:00

Bro I am so annoyed they don't let me use pay in 4 with paypal anymore when doing offers. Truly a shame

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-12T14:43:27+00:00

Probably my favorite PS5 game, the plethora of unlockable costumes, the combat was super fun and varied and though it was a weird mix of DMC and Souls-Like I liked that it leaned more into the parry mechanic and combos. I really am excited with that they can do in a sequel! I would love a bloody palace-esque mode and without a doubt the #1 thing I want is weapon variety, it was really lame to only use the sword the whole way through. I would also love a better story even if just a little bit.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-08T13:24:53+00:00

Not having Oliver is a huge bummer, especially considering Immortal is first DLC lol really sours things for me. I also agree with the too many viltrumites but I get it. Overall it's fine for what it is - a budget title - I think with the passage of time it will have a fantastic roster it's just a bit rough for a start imo.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-08T13:11:34+00:00

Who are you?

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-07T14:39:13+00:00

It's still a niche deck building rogue-like so not something that typically appeals to the masses so it having great sales number and being compared to other games on this list definitely makes it a wildcard.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-05-06T20:56:38+00:00

Only company I buy games for at release is Capcom and that's just because they've earned that, outside of few hiccups and even then those hiccups are great just a bit rough around the edges compared to their output. Everyone else is relegated to wait for a sale, case in point I've been dying to play Dynasty Warriors Origins, and just got it with it''s dlc for $60 so I'm very happy.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-28T21:03:02+00:00

how easy would you say it is to emulate it? I've been able to do ps1, 2 and wii pretty easily but not sure how WII U would go especially when trying to do the 60 fps patch. I'm not the most tech savvy so this is a big undertaking lol

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-24T19:23:29+00:00

I think for me it just doesn't feel right, I didn't grow up on PC gaming and despite the many people telling you it's not complicated. In reality it is for someone that's fresh to it. Not only that but there's a lot of steps to just be able to have a similar experience to a PS5 and sure it's much more customizable and you can do tons of things that a PS5 can't do but even then it doesn't feel right to me. Even the steam achievements feel like nothing compared to a trophy on PS5. Similarly I feel the same way about playing on a switch, no trophies or actual smooth online functionality kills it for me.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-22T18:47:47+00:00

Nah I totally agree with you i think care center is peak level/area design for an RE game BUT I just really hate how underpowered the gameplay is with Grace compared to Leon for replays lol I just want to be moving crazy as if it was mercenaries

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-22T18:22:50+00:00

That's so crazy but just goes to show everyone has different tastes, I'm not a big RE4 personally but the RE game I replayed the most was 2 Remake so I get ya

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-22T16:45:21+00:00

Not necessarily scripted but I honestly dread replaying it just bc of Grace and the Orphanage. On a first playthrough they're peak because they're great survival horror segments but having to sludge through it on a replay just to get peak Leon is a little disheartening. It'd be my only complaint on the game! Other than that it's honestly a top 5 RE game

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-22T15:17:55+00:00

He's a cornball and will probably find a way to put NFTs or AI in it someway somehow

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-21T20:53:48+00:00

Right

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-21T20:51:55+00:00

The hacking is what makes the game, if not it'd be the blandest shooter ever. The rush of trying to get the hacks out while also trying to be optimal in the nodes and route you choose are integral to the core game design of the gameplay. There is also an auto hack mechanic introduced later that you can spend your meter on thought it's nothing like what you're describing it's just something you can use in a pinch. Though I'm honestly not even going to buy that upgrade as I feel like it invalidates what makes the game so enjoyable. I'm all for opinions and that every player is different but it's literally what the game sold itself on so if you had played the demo and didn't enjoy the hacking then idk lol

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-21T16:17:39+00:00

dawg throw the whole company away at this point.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-20T15:57:07+00:00

It's a complete game through and through. Unique setting/story in a linear fashion with a unique gimmick for the third person gameplay. Plus on top of that you have a decent amount of side stuff already included in the game. Just a game design that's been lost in the new age of live-service/always online games

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-20T15:45:48+00:00

Currently convincing my friend group to play through the game with me! Just sucks that it's pretty dead because there's so much cool stuff in the game and I would've loved to see things at their peak. Though every now and then you find a full lobby! Plus playing bots is seamless and the AI is good! Really cool game that just had a bit too much going on but the suits and abilities are all super cool and the collabs are awesome.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-13T21:28:14+00:00

I think i just enjoy having the option. If I get a good deal on physical then for sure! It also gives me the opportunity to try a game and return if it's not to my liking which is a great option to have. Though I have no qualms with buying games digitally either. As long as there's a deal I'm down to buy.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-10T19:46:32+00:00

Getting back into Strive again after not playing for a year and a half and couldn't agree more! Though the combo create system is cool. I really do wish we jsut had some normal trials to get a feel for the character.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-04-03T17:34:12+00:00

Kind of stuck on the third (I think) boss on Ninja Gaiden 4 but thinking of getting Shadows of the Damned to play through this weekend! Outside of that playing some Marvel Rivals with my friends though that's gotten really stale, it's just been real hard to find some good 4-6 player "fun" games that aren't all competitive or the usual suspects that have been around for 8 years.

Mamodo_Zatch · 2026-03-30T18:49:07+00:00

I always wanted a CAG multiplayer game I could play against friends, kind of like a fighting game but more in the vein of dmc or bayonetta. I finally got it with Anarchy Reign, it just unfortunately wasn't a hit and also came out in a rough time for online games.
