Age of Empires 2 is my most played game ever and extremely nostalgic. Conquerors was next to flawless especially with fan made AI that didn't cheat resources. I liked to play sometimes with friends co-op against one brutally hard AI. Most of my time was online pvp matches, or making and scripting custom maps to post on AOE Heaven. MSN Zones first, then GameRanger when that shut down. A little bit (still hundreds of hours) when Forgotten Empires picked it back up too until I got overwhelmed.
While I love all the new expansions except the few mid ones, I think it's too bloated now for PvP. I don't want to memorize so many nations. I had a similar problem with Dead by Daylight and to a smaller extent, TF2. I got filtered I'm just too old to dump so many hours into a game now to keep track of all that shit, and not for a lack of free time actually in my case.
But I love the new SP campaigns!
Can a game be nostalgic if I still play it regularly?
