    HOWEVER.

    I do not appreciate being FORCED to download ~27GB of data -- which left my hard drive with less than 5GB free space -- that is USELESS to those of us that chose to not purchase WCIII:R.

    I do not appreciate having my classic version being modified when you, Blizzard, made it a point that those who wanted to stick with the classic version had nothing to worry about.

    I ended up deleting the entire WarCraft III folder since I didn't have anything I especially felt like saving and I still have the original WCIII and its expansion stored elsewhere.

    If this is your idea of trying to convince more people to purchase the "reforged" version (more like "deformed"), you're doing a bang-up job of it.

    Shameful.    … Expand

    Realmente un timo, (gráfica, sonido-idioma, multiplayer, creacion, todo esto es carente) es mucho mejor el Warcraft 3 (classic) en su versión pirata.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I stand with hong Kong, also **** game. Warcraft III: Reforged retains the gameplay of the original, but its development has spurred on balance changes to the game's multiplayer. These changes are also present in the original version of the game. Players from both versions are able to play with each other. Similarly to Starcraft: Remastered, both versions of the game will be under one client. Matchmaking is updated to have per-race ratings, similar to other Blizzard titles. The campaign's missions are altered to reflect World of Warcraft's designs of present locations. Other changes to gameplay are present in the campaign.[3]

    The campaign will have a new 'story mode' difficulty for newcomers.[4]    … Expand

    The animations in Reforged have regressed compared to their older counterparts - units talking barely even move their facial muscles, and constantly look like they have their eyes wide open. There's no LAN connectivity either.

    As false marketing plagues this release, consumers should avoid this product like the plague as long as they have a classic copy.    … Expand

    Somehow worse than doing nothing for an 18 year old game. This "reforge" is an objectively worse game in most regards when compared to the original version. I miss when Blizzard actually had standards.

    I've been doing my best to give blizzard the benefit of the doubt the past two years, but this release was a complete tipping point. Blizzard to save itself needs to find someway to buy out of Activision and remember who it is.

    Huge bummer. I pre-ordered Reforged when the beta was early and things were really looking up for the end product. I'm sure anybody reading this has a good idea of the things that Blizzard removed, one I don't see mentioned a lot that is pertinent to the way I play is the late removal of 3440x1400 support.

I'm sure anybody reading this has a good idea of the things that Blizzard removed, one I don't see mentioned a lot that is pertinent to the way I play is the late removal of 3440x1400 support. Blizzard could have tackled this is so many different ways. Most modern companies just letterbox with art flanking the play area. This alone did not completely tinge the way I perceived this purchase though.

    The last minute stranglehold on ridiculous custom games is particularly egregious, as this was the most nostalgic part of multiplayer for me. It's a really sad state of affairs.

    The campaign is really underwhelming. I am really sad blizzard missed an opportunity to craft such a cool new-ish experience. I was really excited they'd use the opportunity maybe to tell new, smaller stories that don't quite fit within the game play scope of WoW. Maybe micro campaigns for sale for $5 or something. Anyways, I'm sure Blizzard is going to abandon reforged. It doesn't seem like they're commuted by any metric to deliver something special here.

    It's really disappointing to me that they're being so stingy about refunds. The way they've reacted to community outcry is flat out awful. I regret buying reforged -- I wouldn't have come here and review it if I wasn't outright denied a refund. I really hope Blizzard understands this outcry comes from a place of love for this universe. I'm sure people wouldn't have really minded a couple of different directions this whole thing could have taken, but somehow they rolled the dice on what seems to be the worst option. Release an unpolished game, break a classic one, bark at the community, and disrespect their customers.

    Sorry Blizzard. It's been a rough year. Here's to hoping this next decade is one of great product and prosper. Nobody reasonable wants to see Blizzard decay but nobody reasonable would deny that it is.    … Expand

    Why would you do this destroy such a fan favorite game. Activision and Blizzard never should have merged. I was so excited for this game to come out only to be met with a lazy re-skin and texture update. Blizzard deserves this score and no one will give a **** about Overwatch 2 or Diablo 4 if this is the type of quality content blizzard comes up with.

    And if we talk about what the Game beings: ugly new models that look asian, like anime, which were maid by a malasyan company instead of by Blizzard and have 0 "warcraftish" style, most people prefer the units from TFT than Reforged even if they are 120 years older! Also the new voices are horrible. They have deleted options that we had in classic Warcraft. Not only in graphics, but now you cant play custom campaings. And Blizzard changed the EULA saying that all the custom maps are theirs. What is this Blizzard? You used to be a great company and now you have released a broken unfinished Game, just a change of models which were made by an asian company and have nothing to do with Warcraft. And a Game completly uplayable that is making people look how to play the old TFT because Reforged is ruined.

    Fix your Game in few days or at least restore the TFT to 1.29 before you started to release weird Broken parches to ruin It. Every patch was a wooden plank and Reforged finished the coffin.    … Expand

    I dont understand, how worse it could be. Its not just about too high expectations that most people have about this game (includes me). They didnt add in this "reforge" nothing new, they just swap the textures, and thats it. Even more, they cun most of the original game features, like clans, ladder etc. Blizzard wont make anything good, like in good old days, so stop buying they gamesstuffetc.

    $50 for HD textures, textures that aren't up to scratch for a 2020 game. Looks like Blizzard just wanted a fast cash grab.

    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.
