Does more power really mean a better game?

With Age of Empires 3, I found I didn't have any issues with the image quality, so much as the games fundamental design choices... Age of Empires 2 HD has proven that it was the wrong direction to take the franchise and sadly, Ensemble Studio's is no longer around to bring us a 4th entry that fixes those shortcomings in the 3rd game.

Command and Conquer failed due to allot of intereference from Electronic Arts, it was one of the largest franchises in PC gaming at one point... But I have to admit I thoroughly played the crap out of Red Alert 3 and Commanders Challenge.

AoEIII had those problems you mention: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-14-age-of-empires-iii-a-huge-mistake

And yeah, many awesome simulation and strategy devs are gone :(

I feel like Eurogamer are my long lost brother sometimes. Ha. We typically resonate the same on everything.
