05:50 My problem with these ads are that WHY can't they say "Do you love age of empires 2?" or "Did you play Age of empires 2" like some nice things like that. And then say like "Oh come and check out the mobile version then!" Like why do they kind of need to mock the game. I feel like as a franchise you should support each other as the same game and not asking the players why you playing the game you love. Like for me it feels a little bit toxic how they say it. There is so many better words they could use instead. Like just saying if you like aoe2 then go and try the mobile game.
the mobile game is trying to get the attention of new ppl that maybe heard of aoe2, but not loved... if the same ppl are playing both games it makes no sense for the franchise.. I think thats why they do it like that.. Kind if bad imo, but well....
@andresfurlan4 yeah I understand that a little bit. But it still feels very very toxic for me. And I personally dislike it a lot as a big AoE fan. I was actually a little bit hyped for the mobile game. Was hoping it was gonna be a revolutionary mobile game. Like actually having aoe mechanics. But it didn't. I don't mind it too much but I lost interest in it fast after seeing gameplay. But seeing it now shit on other games of the franchise makes me hate the game than just not care about it.
Haha I love it with all the GL podcasts mentioning AoE 2 content is saturated etc. and then comes Barles unexpectedly delivering banger videos (the Matrix one was also pure comedy gold). Love it. New format and editing style is nice, I like it, don't see anything wrong with the name. Although i am sure many will have creative suggestions for a new title...
PLEASE let's push for re-skins for current AOE2 civs. Vietnamese have the same architecture than Mongols and Spanish have the same than Bizantines 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽
Thanks Nili! I think the name could change to “aoe news, aoe month in review, something else” and might sound more professional and maybe get more viewers. I tune in for the excellent content and not because of a specific “name”.
thanks again nili - really appreciated the video - renaming is a good idea. aoe2 news (flash) yy/mm is totally fine - aybe aoe2 month in a nutshell - maybe extend it to other franchises ? and make the markers as it makes sense ? or link the colleagues if there are some.
I think the title of “WTF happened in XXXX” is fine! Maybe have “aoe2 news recap” or something as an addendum. Was a little sus that you played the entire Barles video (worried you were using content improperly) but you gave him a big shoutout so was happy in the end
Hi Nili, great Video! Especially enjoying it since I dont have the time to "properly" follow the scene at the moment. Small Question: is there a reason you are linking T90s and not Membs Rec to the Sax-Cup? Since he is the host, i feel like it should be his stream linked
I literally linked his channel... ruclips.net/user/live6a4B3COSPFY?si=LKOFQjk_nxUjYVNZ&t=9195 For the other one: in my discord there is a collection for games of the month, I just reused the provided link
Did WTF always have background music? Paused multiple times to see if I had smtn else open. Feels quite distracting. edit: checked, always had some; its just louder in parts in this edition i think.
Any more updates on 'The Garrison' LAN next March? They said more would be announced in October but I can't find anything... Guessing it might have something to do with the LAN in Berlin though
I read/heard that more info on the public viewing would be made available in mid-October (I'm almost sure they said 11.10), but can't find anything yet. I just don't want to miss out!

@@NiliAoE2 Just my opinion obviously, avoid making things too organized. too professional, i think the beauty of this format is keeping things simple, by doing this, making a mistake here and there, perhaps forgetting one thing or another makes you feel more like us and not this professional presenter etc more like someone we can relate to
While reading the thumbmail: WHAT Aoe mobile is shady? Is there any non-shady mobile game out there? 6:45 I dont think that Aoe mobile players are inclined to play Aoe 2. By the way, in Age of Empires castle siege, the pay to win aspect was pretty acceptable.
AoE Mobile has OP hero locked to VIP 17 which cost like 30k USD to get by buying vip points. Castle Siege was much better monetization wise even from gameplay standpoint in such games you wouldn't be matched against krakens unless you are kraken yourself and if you get hit by them it is not a big deal. on AoE Mobile 1 kraken can swipe so many players themselves before deafeated
The AoM problem is that it's a reskin of an existing pay-to-win, unoriginal, waiting simulator mobile game which paid for the AoE IP and has nothing to do with age of empires otherwise. The ads reflect this but are not the issue.
i'm very fine with the mobile aoe. haven't seen any of it but it's new era and it will hopefully bring visitors to the francise and or money into the games. But of course mocking the aoe 2 game is absolutely inaceptable and should be threated with 'losing the head over smth* , at least - gladly you had this very amusing near delightful video commenting on our own silly species of arena players. hilarious ! couldn't see any enjoyment of the bullying at all ;-)
That's not at all how franchises work. The whole point of a franchise is to get more eyes on all the games within the franchise and hopefully get people to try them all. Talking badly about one game in favor of another or comparing in general you give off the message that people should only be interested in 1, which makes no sense. If I recall correctly there was nothing of the sort in the marketing of AoE4 so I would guess AoE Mobile is just being horribly mishandled
That video from Barles was so accurate!
Ironically, I got the AoE ad right before this video.
well makes sense you are a potential player
Start using Brave instead.

This is my newspaper.
Fake news.
I like the mod menu music. It sneaks up on you and you have to leave it open for a while before you get learned up that it's an absolute banger.
Subscribed to Barles a couple of days back, quality content every other day!
good!
i would update the photos in the cornes that had like a couple of years !! 11 keep the good work Nilii !!
Add grey hair?
me love monthly AoEII updates brought by Nili, thx Nili!
you are welcome

Great video recs as always!
Glad you like them!

For the first time I knew what the Clip of the month would be.
Smart.
I don't mind what you call it, I just rejoice you keep doing it! Having "news" in it msy make it more accessible to new people though.
yeah maybe...
Thanks Nili! I think the name could change to “aoe news, aoe month in review, something else” and might sound more professional and maybe get more viewers. I tune in for the excellent content and not because of a specific “name”.
yeah thinking about something along those lines
@@NiliAoE2 Hippo lovers' broadcasting company.
Another idea would be to keep the video title as it is, but change the thumbnail, making it show "AOE News"... or the other way around
Following tradition it should be Age of News.

On the name: I actually would like something like "Nili presents: AoE [Month] in Review" or something. Sell your own brand a bit more ;)
I miss AoE2😢 havent had a PC in 3 months
Just build one? Ryzen 9800X3D just launched :). Pair it with a little RTX 4090 and you have a mid-range computer great for AoE2.
Hope you get better soon 😢

I vote for this format: WTF happened in AoE - October
Could work for me
Can you link the Argentina v Vietnam game that you mention during the SAX NC chapter?
Name change idea: Up 2-Aoe date! (mby too complicated)^^
Did WTF always have background music? Paused multiple times to see if I had smtn else open. Feels quite distracting.
edit: checked, always had some; its just louder in parts in this edition i think.
okay will check it. maybe it increased because I changed youtube audio somehwere else and it changed for all tabs

AOE News: WTF Happened?
Sounds good!
Also, wasn't the old title
"WTF Happened in..."?
yeah I think youtube algorithm didn't like the "WTF" part
@NiliAoE2
Ah I wondered about that, thanks for sharing! I still liked the WTF title.
Nice
Very nice
"Nili winning 1€ at poker side-event of AoE-LAN" definitely missing in this list
5€!
@NiliAoE2 +1 from the bet!
Minus paypal fees
If you want to change WTF, but keep it recognisable.. WTA = What The Age.
uhhh, interesting
the music was a bit distracting
too loud?

"This month in WTF AOE"
To me, the 'WTF' part - even if it only shows in the thumbnail - is what makes the series recognisable. That and the shirt 🦛
will keep the shirt then
(warning: it won't make many more years)
