Enter college. It's my freshman year and I have a friend who plays starcraft constantly. He's addicted and praises the game whenever the opportunity presents itself. Making fun of him was the norm because of this addiction of his. Well, after constantly pressuring me and our floormates to try a game, we soon becamse very interested in the game. Our interest soon turned into addiction, and we all have enjoyed our fair share of starcraft(SC) since picking up the mouse and keyboard.
What we loved about the game was the strategy behind it. You could rush your opponent with the zerg, turtle with the terrans, or build a nice defense with protoss. Every unit had a counter. Zealots took out tanks, tanks took out cannons, etc. Not to mention you stealth units in the game. There was nothing more amusing than having an observer in your enemies base.
In one word: FUN.
Now, how will AOE3 stack up to the "fun" factor of SC? I know it's a completely different game, but since they are both RTS games and share similarities how do you think AOE3 will do?
Thanks, and yes i'm a NOOB.
