    I played the un-reforged around the time it came out. Can't say the graphics got any better in reforged (maybe they have?) but the gameplay has held up well. Except the path finding, it's rather frustrating trying to maneuver individual units through a crowd.

    Date Completed: 2023-02-01
    Playtime: ~ 30h
    Enjoyment: 7/10
    Recommendation: It's still worth a playthrough in 2023

    Remastered medium quality. No new UI, cutscenes. Just new textures. But, quite playable. In addition, support for the game is practically discontinued.

    But due to the lack of innovation, the triggers still remain buggy and due to the game not containing any innovation regarding the limitations, whether in the amount of resources or map sizes.

Tra uscite infelici (qualcuno ha detto Diablo Immortal?), comportamenti criticabili e gestione delle comunicazioni non entusiasmante, l’azienda sembra essere lontana dal comprendere ciò che vuole la sua utenza. Chiaramente, tutto ciò ha influito sul videogioco analizzato, ma nonostante si potesse fare di meglio, l’essenza di Warcraft III è rimasta intatta e accesa. Ad anni di distanza la campagna sa ancora rapire e il multiplayer intrattenere, nonostante i server di Battle.net siano più popolati in determinate ore e in determinati giorni. In sostanza, tra punti di forza e di debolezza, rimane consigliato a coloro che non abbiano avuto vissuto la Terza Guerra di Azeroth.

    Can only comment on offline custom games. Was very bad at first, I was just playing AI and would disconnect due to connection?! Can now seem to play offline or it has been better displayed on GUI to logout or force custom game wherein there is only AI. Am more of a huge Broodwar fan...but graphics are nice but have lost some cartoonish charm.

Sec the mulitplayer is a **** show tbh. releasing a game in 2020 without a ladder is no small error its a huge mistake and clans also missing does not help the game at all.

    but i do wanna say most of the missing stuff leaves the taste of it needed more time
    and the beta kinda proved that so why they still released the game in that state i don't know

    for the sake of the esport they should have waited for the solo players id did not make that much of a difference then most ppl would agree but tbh. for solo players reforged is fine

    Although the game did not release as promised in blizzcon, but i still quite enjoy it so far with the decent graphic and animation. The menu is not as intuitive though, but I personally think it deserves higher score than 0.6. Also I like the new unit voice, which sounds very mythical and mysterious

    Не могу поставить не отрицательную, не положительную оценку, так как в первом случае мыслю адекватно в отличии от стада негодующего народа, а во втором случае, не могу смириться с тем, что сами же разработчики, которые делали эту легендарную игру, просто напросто решили "изнасиловать" её спустя 18 лет и превратить её в мусор.

    Да из-за этого "Ремастера / Рескина", а не "Перековки" (язык тут вообще не поворачивается называть это ей), нас по сути лишили классики, так как теперь её "официально" и "легально" можно достать только при помощи "пиратства" (да не могу в это поверить сам даже немного). "Но есть же переключение графики" - скажете вы и будете "частично" правы, да переключение есть вот только с ним в этот раз напортачили знатно:
    Если взять ситуацию со Starcraft где сделали "платный ремастер" с возможностью переключения, как на новую, так и на старую графику и где сам он формально является "отдельной игрой", а "классическая" версия также осталась в "не изменённом виде", да и бесплатно стала раздаваться с возможностью вообще "легально" в неё играть, то вот с Warcraft III разработчики решили сделать всё намного "жестче": оригинал просто напросто "насильно затолкали" в ремастер причём в буквальном смысле, теперь сыграть в старый Warcraft III со "старой, русской озвучкой" и с некоторыми фишками мультиплеера у вас просто не получится, точнее "получиться" конечно, но "формально" вы теперь скачиваете "Перековку" в "старом виде", потому что вам теперь нужно 30 ГБ свободного Дискового Пространства, вместо 2 ГБ для игры 2002 ГОДА КАРЛ! причём, возможности сыграть именно в СТАРУЮ версию тупо нет даже бесплатно нельзя её скачать, а те у кого был куплен Warcraft III ещё до его официальной "Перековки", теперь можно смело сказать, что они "выкинули" 998 Руб. (цена покупки обоих дополнений старой версии игры), так как в самой игре теперь делать нечего: в кастомки не сыграешь по нормальному из-за багов, серверные аккаунты со всеми достижениями были потёрты в хлам, как будто в эту игру никто и никогда не играл, а вышла она только сейчас, кастомные кампании теперь также были вырезаны под корень (а ведь я, автор этого отзыва, в детстве начал активно задротить в Warcraft III, именно из-за этой "фичи") да и новые и ни кому не ведомые баги появились в игре 2002 Года не с того ни с сего.

    В общем подводя итог, я скажу что в этом "Ремастере" хорошо получились только две вещи:
    1) Теперь каждые модельки имеют свои "уникальные" текстуры и нет "повторений", которые были в "Классической" версии.
    2) Хорошо узнаваемую и возможно кому-то въевшуюся в память Музыку игры, также обновили и местами она начала звучать по новому.
    Все остальные, новые Вещи появившиеся в "Ремастере" (включая и Графику), это определённо Шаг назад от "Классики".    … Expand

    I think wc3 reforged is very flawed. However with the amount of people giving this game a 0/10 i can't really take those "reviews" seriously.
    This game is NOT a 0/10 game.
    I personally picked it up just before it fully released. Somwhere in the beta, like many players warcraftIII was my favorite game growing up, mainly for the custom games.

    This game is NOT a 0/10 game.

    I personally picked it up just before it fully released. Somwhere in the beta, like many players warcraftIII was my favorite game growing up, mainly for the custom games.

    Contrary to what many people here claim the classic version of the game was borderline unplayable before reforged. small playerbase, constant crashes, ect. Since reforged i've still had some crashes but notibally less. Most of my disconects were my internet falling off instead of the game fatal error'ing on me. This for sure wasn't the case when i still played classic a year or two back. In classic i could almost never get a good game in.

    A lot of content got scrapped. For example reconecting to the game was promised at one point but not implemented. Just like many things were scrapped afterwards.
    The activision move to copyright custom maps is really terrible aswell. honestly someone should fire whoever makes these decisions.

    Reforged it'self however has been amazing as a secondary game for me. I've relived some of the fun i've had in the past and for the first time really played the campaign seriously.

    I don't remember how it was when i played this in classic but it never felt quite the same as it did in reforged. I LOVED the campaign. for the first time in my life i really connected to the story and that's honestly quite fun.

    I almost never completely play a game start to end but wc3 reforged was a blast for me personally.

    i don't remember there being this many missions.
    Here's a small summary of my thoughts:

    Contrary to what many people here claim:
    -custom games performance has improved ALOT. no more automatic hosting bots and 10k ping games that were the result of cross server mergings. And way less desyncs.
    -Still some of the same bugs however, desyncs do still happen sometimes, reconnecting is still not added.

    -New models look really nice. there are a TON of them
    -24 player maps are pretty fun and they still fill up decently right now, eras zombie invasion with 24 players playing as denmark or morocco is amazing!
    -The Campaign is more fun than it ever was before. For the first time in my life i really loved playing through it. I haven't had this much of a blast playing a campaign since dishonered II. The story might still be the same but on reforged for the first time it got through to me.
    -Non custom PVP seems to be ruined. I personally never really played that too much but i know others do. However in all honesty before reforged only a few hundred players ever played classic pvp wc3 and most of those are way to good to have fun at it anyway.

    Final thoughts:

    It's honestly been a joy to see my favorite game of all time be playable in better graphics with newer models and so on. While the gameplay might still be most of the same warcraft 3 is a timeless game. Theres a reason we were still playing before reforged released. I am personally very happy that blizzard made this. While the execution hasn't been that great the campaign is amazing and custom games seem to function better.
    I hope they patch in some of the things they promised before, and maybe add some scrapped functions again.

    I hope blizzard isn't discouraged to keep working on this game and over time improve it. If they ditch this here this would be a "failure" but there is a LOT of potential to work with here. Alot of the decisions made were good. They should take that and give us some of the features they initially promised but scrapped along the way. There are a ton of people still playing. While it's currently rated as 0.6/10 it's definitely not what people are taking into account since alot of us are enjoying it alot still.    … Expand

    Blizzard has addressed some of the complaints and criticism hurled its way, and has promised to work on many of these issues. Naturally, one must ask why the game was released in such a state, especially considering the negative attention the company has garnered over the past year with the reveal of Diablo Immortal and the Blizzard/China controversy.

    In the end it’s worth noting that when viewing a remake or remaster what needs to be taken into consideration is the source material, how it looks, feels, and plays. That is, in addition to the work carried out to recreate moments, update visuals, and change any of the presentation. To do otherwise would be silly, a terrible game with a wonderful remaster doesn’t warrant a high score. In the case of Warcraft III, the inverse to that is also true. So, what we end up with is something in-between. A classic reborn, in a package that doesn’t warrant all that much in the way of celebration.
