$30 for 3 games that are less than 5 years old cumulatively.
Well worth it for AoE fans
These aren't the originals
Age of Empires 1 is not Age of Empires 1: Definitive Edition.
@thebargainhunter: TV is TV right? 1960s or 2020, what's the difference?
Who needs Discs, VHS all the way hey?
He's right though
Hope you spent that money saved on finishing your education
Opinions are different to facts Champnado.
Its not one game, it's 3…. and they have been remastered for up to 4k resolutions.
Please. Stop. Posting.
Because I bought it.
Do some research. They added new animations, graphics and reworked the engine.
Man people on this website really can't think for themselves. Look how they've piled on negging you for just giving your opinion
Not for just giving his opinion, but for giving a stupid one. If you don't want the game, why post a useless comment? Obviously going to get negged if you have nothing critical or anything of any use to say, at least be constructive.
plenty of people give their negative opinions on deals. as long as the hivemind agrees, they dont get negs. it makes ozbargain another echo chamber like certain other forum based websites
@belongsinforums: Again, opinions are fine as long as they aren't stupid. Not all opinions are equally valuable. Just saying you don't want to buy the posted item does not contribute in any way at all, don't be surprised if such a comment is downvoted.
@s1Lence: that part is arguable. it is a fairly big price for old games tho and i think that criticism is valid, remastered or not
@belongsinforums: Big price for old games is a valid reason for a neg, let alone a dissenting comment. Baldur and Belongsinforums have valid points that shouldn’t be negged because you disagree with them. It makes us as bad as some other large forum previously alluded to.
Man idiots can’t admit when they’re wrong. Look at how no one cares what you or your buddy think.
It is a travesty they require 30 dollars for a game that was made in the middle 90's. They should be giving this away for free.
This is not a fair price. Not to mention you can play this on game pass for only 1 dollar.
You dont have a proper argument against mine.
@smartazz104: My argument is so simple to fathom.
This is a way too old game hence the price shouldn't be this high. Kapisch?
@baldur: You said they should give them away for free. If you can’t see how stupid that sounds, we’ll then you are lost. Also, 2020 - 1997 is not 35.
@baldur: These are NOT the original games, these are recently released remasters they made to market Age of Empires IV, they change quite a lot, you know this from other comments, stop being wilfully ignorant.
@smartazz104: You were making a contributing comment?! I thought you were just drooling over the edge of your wheelchair.
It is a travesty they require 30 dollars for a game that was made in the middle 90's.
It's a bundle of THREE GAMES you goddamned muppet; AoE, AoE II and AoE III and they're not the originals from 1997, 1999 and 2005, they're the remastered editions which were re-released from 2018 onwards. They look and play vastly differently compared to the original releases, with entirely new graphics, maps, units, civilisations and campaign modes.
This man speaks the truth
Free on gamepass PC/ultimate if you have that.
Yep which is currently $1 for 3 months
How did i not see this as a deal? Got it, rest of my holiday gaming sorted ;)

Thanks, great deal!
Mandatum
Dope collection. $30 for AoE2 DE is worth it alone.
When is 4 coming out, anyone know?
let me know too
No release date for AOE 4 has been announced.
Absolute bargain. AOE2 DE was worth that price alone at launch with the content it has.
AOE2 DE alone can be had for $11.47 right now.
This IMO is a better bargain as it's the best game of the three.
AOE DE alone is only $5.61 right now.
It won’t be definitive in a couple to weeks when a new DLC is released for Age 2.
Big fan
Username checks out.
A squad of fully upgraded paladins + 4 trebuchets rolling up to an enemy camp, ah the good ol days.
Do we need 2 separate accounts to play on lan?
You can't play on Ian, you need to play on a PC.
Daddy jokes

So much down votes for a small thread. Two facts:
- Steam still lists these games meaning they still got value. Old but classic.
- Steam heavily discounts these games meaning demand for these games has decreased over years.These are recently released remastered that change quite a lot about the games, not the original 90s releases.
They are heavily discounted because every non Nintendo game follows this pricing model over time.
AOE2 DE is the best out of these and I still play it. Its free in Game pass.
great,thanks
Purchased it. Thanks
Not as good as the deal where I got AOE2 free in a packet of Coco Pops about 18 years ago, lol :P
I also got a copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 in a cereal box, good times.Second purchase of the series on Steam, got the HD version a couple of years ago.
Lame game, wait for AOE4
Why? It's a great modernised game with a booming community. Better to play now and then 4 later.
The AOE3 DE developer is afraid of the word colonialism, plantations renamed to 'estates' and the like.

https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/game-crashed-my-pc-with-wi…Far out that's absolutely insane. A bug that consistently deletes tens of gigabytes of personal data from User Profiles after a game crash, and the devs don't even want to acknowledge it?
I knew the Remastered editions had some issues but I didn't they know they were that bad. Okay maybe Baldur was right, $30 dollars for this steaming turd pile in the state it's in now is far too much.
They 'have put in additional safeguards',
that's insane.
does the issue only trigger with multiplayer?
seems really risky to play now then. is 1 and 2 free of this bug?does the issue only trigger with multiplayer?
seems really risky to play now thenNo one knows for sure whether its been fixed, disclosure from the Rep have been scant.

Game released on steam.27/10
A new build was released27/10 to 30/10
About ten people reported their files getting deleted (on that main thread) during this time, mostly on 30/10.
Plus three more here, one of them posting a screenshot31/10
"Hotfix has been pushed to Steam users as quickly as possible"
"in extremely rare cases when using certain mods, corrupt local, game-specific player profile files on Steam."
Speculation abounds whether the Devs deemed the user reports credible and this is the attempted fix but released without owning up to the deletion issue.5/11
New patch "Out of an abundance of caution, additional safeguards have been added to the mod manager", though user reports didn't mention mods before6/11
Reports of AOE3 game files suddenly missing29/11
One report from a Mac user running Parallel Desktop that their Steam files went missing10/12
Rep says they "took the issue seriously but to date there are no verified instances that connect this issue directly to Age III DE" - Link. The statement is from the bottom of this pageOct 2018
In another news, Microsoft's Win10 October 2018 update in some instances were accidentally deleting stuff from people's default Users folder - My Documents, Downloads and the like@payton: yep i went through the entire thread and the patch notes were pretty vague and seem to allude that it was affecting files saved in a user's profile although the memory leak appeared to affect all files and not just game files. desktop data would've been saved there as well if i'm not mistaken.
thanks for the summary though!
Ah I wish I know this b4 purchase it …
I bought it last deal. It says I played ( AoE III ) 25hrs and majority of it was AFK … coz I have to take care of my children.
I do enjoy AoE II though … oh well
@Grale: I couldnt recall it, I didnt tutorial. So, I wasnt into the game mode. But I dont think so, my last played was Oct, so probably they fix it … hopefully.
For newer or recognizably more buggy games they can allow more than 2 hours.
I refunded one game after 10-15hours before for bugs
