For anyone who still disagrees, consider the over exaggeration of Canadian and American forces in the war, and the focus on a very small segment of the Russian army’s effort.īut this is about the Ardennes Assault. To this day Relic has not issued any sort of apology for what is clear racism. The game often portrayed the Nazis as the victims and the Soviets as anti-human aggressors… despite them trying to liberate their own country from the Nazis. It was the first Company of Heroes game that wasn’t about heroes, but was instead focused on horrors of war. This was due to the implicit racism in the game. Russians turned on Metacritic and made consistent low ball scores to bring down it’s total rating.

The game was also not without controversy. When it launched you only had two factions to choose from for multiplayer, super awesome Nazi death ball, or Soviets who run into bullets. But everyone knew Company of Heroes 2 had some serious problems with it. And when it came out, it was the biggest disappointment of the century. It was beautifully made with hand painted textures for everything.ĪOE4 looks great, minus some sea textures and well lack on crew on siege.Company of Heroes 2 was no doubt the most anticipated game of the century. Then AOE 3 blew them all away… and apparently still will.


The only other way to get the realism into graphics was to make movie cinematics and include them but was not the same. I too like Temouloun would get the game release magazines and oogle the pictures and the idea of gates on walls that would move was like the thing… everyone wanted… and for the time looked super real. I had played Command and Conquror and really like it but AOE had chariots! Then AOE2 was released was pretty awesome and definitely looked like top graphics of the time.

Well I am nearly 39 I have been playing games and seen graphics of basically all systems and computers back to early DOS games like Oregon trail, captain cosmic (anyone ever play this?) I remember well AOE1 coming out and it may not have been leaps forward, but actually was really good graphics for the time for RTS.
