    Blizzard has fallen so far. How hard can it be to not ruin a game that was this amazing? Apparently, by promising things that you don't deliver on and then shipping a shell of game that is far worse than the original.

    I hope this becomes the worst rated game in metacritic history.    … Expand

    Fundamentally wrong artstyle that has 0 blizzard's feel to it

    Some surroundings lost details for no reason and it turned out worse for the art style. Voicing downgraded, classic w3 on battle.net automatically downgraded with mandatory "reforged" updates. Models have more polygons, but lost like 90% of blizzard's unique style and feel. Overall looks like the game was made and approved by    Fundamentally wrong artstyle that has 0 blizzard's feel to it

Models have more polygons, but lost like 90% of blizzard's unique style and feel. Overall looks like the game was made and approved by a team of interns. Was announced for preorder one WHOLE year before release. Still got delayed 1 month and was shipped untested and unoptimized. Where is the blizzard's quality? The new arthas vs illidan cinematic... it might have passed like... 15+ years ago? How could you approve such bad animations, lack of good soundtrack and an overall absence of blizzard's atmosphere. The way how bad the animations were was simply distracting. Stop underpaying your employees, fire you incompetent managers and replace them with ambitious and qualified ones. You cancel so many products cause they "don't match the blizzard's quality" and then you release this butchering of the loved by millions classic warcraft 3. Really?    … Expand

    Why did those of us who wanted to keep playing and using our beloved classic client be forced into a downgrade? Heres to hoping it gets better...

    Extremely disappointed in blizzard. They don’t care about the blizzard community and only care about cash and pleasing China. Move to China if you hate America so much.

    This is terrible. Nothing close to what was presented @ BlizzCon. "You all got mobile phones right?" level of being out of touch. Sad to see it happen.

    Blizzard + Activison = Junior Ubisoft

    If this is the case, RIOT, which copies most of your brands, will not leave you a market share.

    Is this the worst game ever created to be awarded a 0? No.

    If you buy this game right now know that all you are really getting out of your money (in case you already had Warcraft 3) is new models. You are paying the full price of a game for models. Actvision Blizzard promised a lot and delivered nothing that they promised except for new models. I believed them when they said    Is this the worst game ever created to be awarded a 0? No.

    Actvision Blizzard promised a lot and delivered nothing that they promised except for new models.

    I believed them when they said "Warcraft® III: Reforged™ is a complete reimagining of a real-time strategy classic. Experience the epic origin stories of Warcraft, now more stunning and evocative than ever before."... and I was a fool to do so, they've been letting the ball drop year after year... you'd think they learned not to **** up this bad when the Diablo Mobile was announced on Blizzcon.. but nope.

    What they learned was: People forget, and as long as they keep forgetting, we'll keep on profitting at their expense.

    There's no 'reimagining' of anything in this game, it's Warcraft III from 20 years ago with a new face paint. I do understand that people can be skeptic while changing the gameplay, I really do, but instead of creating new animations, giving them a new variety of skins, improving the cinematics and etc.. they settled for "Lets give them new models.. and push back a month so we can pretend we were working on other stuff as well so the fanbase don't lash out as hard as we think they will when they see this awful mess we made here."

    Welp, you dun' F# up Activision Blizzard, you advertised something that was false, delivered another buggy and experience, one that continuously crashes, you broke the multiplayer servers, you changed you TOS in order to safeguard yourself against the next DOTA (saying that you OWN any of the maps and the ideas behind them no matter who created them). Not only that, people whom owned WC3 and didn't want to update were forced to swallow these changes. Having options such as SHADOWS removed.

    You don't have a "0" game, the game is a rudimentary 6-7 because you messed up and made a buggy creation, but your M.O .. your scummy attitude make it be a "0" game. If they fix this mess I will change this review, but I doubt there's any salvaging from this situation at this point, after all.. Blizzard is no longer Blizzard... it's Activision Blizzard.    … Expand

    Blizzard once prided themselves on being a company which valued quality, and would always take extra time if needed to ensure a game was perfect before release. Unfortunately... this product is not that. It is instead the first time I’ve ever seen a remaster manage to ruin both itself and the original product. Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves.

    I just lost 30 bucks into this, I'm so disappointed in this "reforged" edition.
    The game is laggy, I thought first it was only a beta problem, but no, I can't get to 144 fps even in low settings, the game often freezes or crashes it's almost unplayable for me, of course I could use the old graphics but then why did I pay for this ?

    I'm so disguted right now, they ditched so many classic things:
    -No more LAN.
    -No Clans
    -No Profiles
    -No Ladder
    -Where are the 3D animated campaign backgrounds ?
    -Campaign is not finished (during one of the cinematic, there is a completely black screen with just a bunch of text for like 30 seconds, no voicing, no images just a white text sitting on a black screen...)
    -Art style doesn't feel like W3 anymore, it's so off it looks like a bad Unreal Engine fan remake.
    -Blizzard game policy about customs maps/models is horrendous.
    -You can't play the classic game anymore.
    -Lobbies crashes all the time.
    -Copyrighted user created custom mods ?
    -RoC balance seems off.
    -They didn't remake all the cinematics.

    And for me the worst thing overall, is that I lost the ability to play the classic game.
    First when I bought the game, I knew that the game was full bugs, and it would be the same for the release (due the release date being so close), but I wanted to be supportive yes, I wanted to support Blizzard development. I am not impatient, I was going to wait until they bug fix the game and I had hope that they will take the time to finish it properly(adding cutscenes and the missing features) meanwhile I would have played the original.
    But no, now I can't wait and I don't want to wait because I can't play the original game, is it even leagal ? I mean, I bought RoC + TFT which is one package, and then I bought a separate game Reforged (another package) which are two separate products, and then because I bought reforged they decided that they can delete my access to the original game ? Something I payed for ? Something I OWN ? How can a compagny this big, which used to be so great, make such a bad move...

    Le jeu de base Warcraft 3 était exceptionnel et cette note ne concerne pas le contenu de base du jeu mais seulement la qualité de la version reforged et de ce qu'elle a apportée. Cette nouvelle version est clairement raté et bâclée. Blizzard nous avait vraiment habitué à mieux, grosse déception ...

    Absolutely **** shameful on the part of blizzard to release this. The only thing different are the models which they didn't even create but instead outsourced to some other studio. Also if you make a cool custom game, blizzard owns the moral rights to it so they can use what you create without crediting you. isn't that fun!

    Over 1,000 hours worth of custom maps work have now been rendered worthless. Thanks, ActiBlizz.

    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.
