    Blizzard what happened to you? You are willing to kill a legendary game over money? And worst of all you slap fans in the face, who worked very hard at making mods and other stuff for Warcraft 3, and you don't even give a damn credit, refusing refunds, lying to your customers with false videos, merging it with the classics that the people played for years. You guys are disgusting... IBlizzard what happened to you? You are willing to kill a legendary game over money?

    To the people that keep saying “bro my wc3 reforged works fine! and latter is coming soon!”

    I was expecting remastered cutscenes, better sound and voiceover work. Improved and HD music. (sound is still 240p ripped straight from 2004 with compression and all) There’s none of that. to play custom games against bots you have to create a lobby which of course requires internet

    I was expecting remastered cutscenes, better sound and voiceover work. Improved and HD music. (sound is still 240p ripped straight from 2004 with compression and all) There’s none of that.

    to play custom games against bots you have to create a lobby which of course requires internet connection.

    They talked about adding male and female counter parts to heroes. (male and female demon hunter.) They didnt but for some reason the replaced the demon hunter permanently with a female model same with the death knight. I have a digital copy of warcraft3 w/ frozen throne so I can already play wc3 whenever I want. So buying this wasn’t at all what was expected or implied it would be.

    Pros of keeping it? none from what I can see.

    If i want to play warcraft 3 I can literally go play warcraft 3 because I still have the download on MY account. I was not expecting a mod with 99% of the features talked about for 2 years scrapped. Like. it’s just a janky warcraft 3 with graphics that look like plastic figures medieval figures you can get at a dollar store. Like, did we really just pay blizzard 40 effing dollars to add more polygons during game play??? really???

    If you watch the frozen throne ending it’s literally the SAME compressed 240p sounds from 2004 that literally sounds like theres fog in your headphones and the camera is still off center, like… what? I can literally just go play warcraft 3. They up resed the cutscenes which is literally as easy as rendering on updated software. LOL?

    We are witnessing the downfall of blizzard. It's not just that they screwed up a remake of a game. They also are currently on a warpath to make WoW as crappy as they possibly can with BFA.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not what you promised us, Blizzard! The trailer back in BlizzCon 2018 was awesome and the whole thing was just a bait, it is not even in the game! It is the same game and you payed a third party, Malaysian company called Lemon Sky studio to make the character models! Where are the new lines you promised, where are the epic music you upgraded the game? Why was the trailer fluffed and the finished project **** You do not give us a finished project, you don't ask a full price for a 17 year old game! It even has the same bugs that the original Warcraft III had! You re-bottled the same thing and we bought it as a brand new, polished game! Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore, it is Activision, Blizzard just dove next to Bethesda as if it was a diving contest. Maybe we should flush you, because you do not even refund those who do not want your crap! That simple shows us, how well you stand for your products! It is like a Chinese ripoff back in the 80-90's, because that is what Blizzard become, a RIPOFF! Expand

    Well I had a great expectation to this "new" version of the game, bought in hopes of reliving stuff that the community makes, but the game is not properly developed as the game it should be supposed to be sold.

    My biggest issue is that I am from Brazil and I don't even hope to get a refund considering what blizzard is stating about not allowing to refund for it is a US company

    Blizzard back it at again with unfulfilled promises and a terrible business sense. Whether this whole debacle has been caused by upper management forcing deadlines on developers, or laziness based on the idea that this is just a remaster and not as important as a brand new AAA release, rest assured that blizzard did their absolutely best to botch this entire thing.

    Warcraft 3 was the first strategy game that I have ever played. Its handcrafted campaign inspired my future love for the genre. However, this game is nothing more than an empty cash-grab, by a company unable or unwilling to put any passion in "reforging" a game that was once their crowning achievement.

    If a D2 remake is in the works I sincerely hope they don't release it at all if it's anything remotely like WC3: Reforged. It'd be better for the company's public image and economy for that matter if they simply released the entire source code - there's a 100% chance fans would do a much better job.

So, not only does people who bought this game get scammed, all of us who also own copies of the other games got locked out from what we own, even though we could play fine just a couple of days ago before this title "absorbed" the original games that thousands of people played daily.

    Not to mention they also altered the rights of Custom Game makers which now, since this game absorbed the old ones, also applies to the originals, so they can own any game ideas because they missed out on DOTA, TD and others from the originals. Also some other things about forcing creators to comply with handing over documents and project files or they'll get banned if Blizzard wants them...

    Conclusion: Not only does this game not function, it also made the original games which I also own not function, so not only do you get scammed out of the $30 this game costs (and its regional equivalent), you also get scammed (whether you want it or not) by the $60 you paid for the originals. It also tries to steal everything from creators or they will face punishment across ALL Activision-Blizzard titles.

    Questionable design direction as the characters and buildings doesn't look good when viewed from the usual RTS camera angle. They look cool up close, but who the hell is looking that close when playing an RTS? Most of the units became a giant messy blob when you mass them all together and its difficult to tell them apart.

    Not only was the remaster disappointing, they even somehow ruined the classic version of the game. I think people would be more forgiving if the mess was just in the remaster. But no, they had to ruin the classic version too.

    A total disaster.

    Game is a buggy mess from all the lps I've seen and heard. I will not buy it because of user license and how it affects mod dev. Screw you Bethesda

    I hoped for the game to be at least as good as the original but this is a tremendous disappointment.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on the shores of Northrend. I watched flames in the darkness of Stratholme. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

    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.

    If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game worth of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more.
