    We are witnessing what very much appears to be the second coming of E.T, folks.

    I own the original game. Played it for a VERY long time. I refunded this game after playing for an hour or so. It is so disappointing. Very poorly done game but a company that is in its downfall.

    This game is **** awful and pisses on the legacy of the original while also killing it overnight.

    How to slaughter an original which had a 92 metacritic score? Step-by-step guide provided by Activision Blizzard:
    1- Create a hype by showing features and improvements that won't make it to the retail product. (Cutscenes, UI, etc)

    2- Remove features that the original had. (Ladders, custom campaigns)

    4- Profit?
    Don't get me wrong, there are changes in the game but it's such a halfway between "staying true" and "improving" that you can't like it either way you stand on it. It fails to deliver a sleek retexture as Starcraft Remastered and it fails to make new stuff by having them look clanky, outdated or downright missing. New players who did not experience WC3 will have a dated-feeling RTS, people who played WC3 back in the day and returned will be offered nothing beyond "new models" that look good but by no means feel like a 2020 remake, and players who kept playing after all this time will be stripped of stuff they already had for granted and even have custom games threatened by new policies. Heck, even players who wanted nothing to do with WC3R are feeling the repercusions of this game.
    TLDR: this game offers nothing truly new, it satisfies none of it's audiences, it hyped people to preorder with stuff that do not exist ingame or are completely different from what was advertised.
    This is not an acceptable RTS game for 2020 and especially not from the same creators who developed one of the cornerstones of this genre.    … Expand

    The game is so disappointed. Blizzard upgraded the picture and nothing surprised me what they have done just looks like a fan-work not like a Blizzard work. By the way, they should also upgrade the mini map and their management system.

    ужасно за что отданы деньги ? За то что бы купить старую игру? они просто не уважают свою аудиторию. Вообщем я играю в ВОВ и понимаю что им на нас наплевать. Они просто хотят денег, но выпускают кусок мусора, а потом на форуме банят тех кто помогает вернуть деньги.ужасно за что отданы деньги ?

    I love Warcraft III and I love custom games from this game. And was happy that Blizzard going to improve this game.
    But the "Warcraft III: Reforged" is not an improved old game, in reality, it is worsened and truncated version. And I can't play the old Warcraft III game now because of super-duper "backwards-compatibility".

    Я молчал когда они сделали забагованный интерфейс
    Но когда они сделали так что АРХИМОНДА можно просто заковырять медведями с дриадами тут я уже не могу молчать. Кака можно перерисовывая игру сделать хуже? Им просто надо было ничего делать а просто рисовать но нет ( хотя может при переносе пришлось реально переписывать всю физику итд но блин хотя бы могли АB тестирование провести с оригиналом)

The company that used to release well polished games that showed heart and an interest in their own creations is gone. Enter ActiBlizzard, where the release is more important than the product.

    I've been playing Warcraft 3 since it came out. I've been there for it all, the ladder pros, the clans, the custom games, everything. I made custom maps, I learned JASS, I climbed the ladder, I made clans, I left clans, I loved this game.

    I would go so far as to say that the company that made reforged can no longer be called Blizzard.

    This is a bug ridden release that is well documented, so I won't go into that. Instead I'll talk about the artwork. This release brings the Warcraft 3 universe under the WoW fold in terms of art. If you were around back in the day, you would know that the art styles for the two games were different in some departments. That unique vibe that warcraft 3 had was perfect for the genre and led to the sprawling custom game scene that would eventually create entire new projects outside of WC3.

    Now, art is subjective, sure, but even looking at the tauren chieftain, you can tell they went wrong. The tauren chieftain has been transformed from a brutish warrior with glowing eyes to an incel cow with a bowl cut. Why am I referring to this specific example? Because when I picked up this game all those years ago, the first enemy hero that I saw was the tauren chieftain. I got just a glimpse of it in the fog of war as it was going around creeping and I was staying in my base because I didn't know creeping was something you should do. I was terrified to leave my base. So they take this extremely effective imagery and "reforge" it into a completely neutered version of itself. They took the heart out of the game in order to cash out one more time on the remaster train.

    They should have left it alone.    … Expand

Еще немного и вы окончательно подорвете доверие своих пользователей.Купив предзаказ после анонса игры, через два года вы получаете настолько обрубленную версию, что там нет даже тех вещей, которые показали готовыми в анонсе...

    Disaster. The game looks like the classic one but it's completely broken. Only US and EU servers, rest of the world 200+ ping, impossible to play online. Old cinematics, reforged cinematics were cancelled and you know about it when you play the game. Absolutely horrible. Worst launch ever.

    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.
