    Happy they offered a refund , would of prefered the original to this game , seemed like they effectively made the game worse rather than improve it , really hit home for me when they decided to take morale ownership and claim custom games as Blizzard opportunity as greasy way to potentially profit off their customers ideas

    First of all, let me start by saying that this is game is terrible. I have not played it personally, but I have heard from many friends that it's a complete failure. Blizzard, I hope you burn in hell.

    I loved the original but this is just a disappointment. Actually false advertising. Could've been so much more.

    A lot of broken promises in this one. The worse thing however is that they deleted the older (and better) version of the game. Forcing you to Buy the Reforged edition to play Warcraft III. Utterly despicable. Broken game. Broken promises. Do Not Buy This Game

    A very poor attempt to remake one of the best games ever made. A pre-order 14 months in advance with many many false promises in between. Disappointing that such a large company has completely lost touch with its consumer base.

    They've not only destroyed this new release, they've destroyed the original game as well with this one by replacing the original game with it.

    I heard that they finally released the game so i figured i would go streaming the campaign today and at first i kinda liked it since it had new higher poly models that looked alright. But it was quickly starting to lag and was almost unplayable for a bit so i restarted the game it kept lagging but a little less, but this don't outweigh all the problems i noticed. Such as all portraits got a shimmer over them like protective spells in Elder scrolls Oblivion. Animations are really bad and unit movement is also lagging even when the rest of the game isn't. Most of the things the community didn't like about the initial models they released was never changed. They also copyrighted all custom maps, that also makes me not wanna finish my map i was working on. i will probably end up deleting it.

    After i ended today stream i also went to see what others thought about the finished version of the game. This is also where i found out about the copyrights and decided to create a metacritic account and to show my dislike of Blizzards "finished" product and the way they handle refunds. So i now called for a refund and if they fail to deliver they wont get another dime from me.

    Hopefully they turn this around.    … Expand

    This is the biggest step back in being a remake/remaster since the Silent Hill HD Collection. Overwhelming shame that Blizzard released this falsely advertised husk of an absolute classic.

    Game doesn’t even come close to what they promised on blizzcon 2018. They delivered a terrible product. Not only did it fail to live up to expectations, it ruined its original game, shame on blizzard.

    Blizzard the company that was once the pinnacle/beacon of gaming are now unfortunately a fading shadow. Once they joined with Activision slowly almost all the Original people started leaving.

    I hate to say it guys, but this is what you get when you want to play games designed by people who are putting effort into making their game as addictive as possible, they thought this was ok because everyones hooked to their games, and all they cared about was operating an addiction machine, i spent 100 hours on wow in less than 2 weeks because i'm disabled and have nothing to do butI hate to say it guys, but this is what you get when you want to play games designed by people who are putting effort into making their game as addictive as possible, they thought this was ok because everyones hooked to their games, and all they cared about was operating an addiction machine, i spent 100 hours on wow in less than 2 weeks because i'm disabled and have nothing to do but school and games, then I got battle for azeroth and was set free, because it sucked, long story short stop supporting crap like this, they aren't blizzard anymore, this makes me sad, the company we once loved is gone, get over it… Expand

    You can clearly see lack of resources devoted to the development of this game. A year and 3 months and they barely passed the Blizzcon demo. I think they were waiting for model assets from China for the majority of the year. After that, they fixed some bugs and mostly worked on polishing the art.

    0 for effort into what should have been a straightforward easy remaster.    … Expand

    I cannot support this errant careless behavior by a developer and a message needs to be sent. As a consumer we need to send the message a line has been drawn and we will not accept this any more. I hope this collective messages resonates at least enough to end this downward spiral and take a step back in the right direction. I'm not foolish enough to think we will ever get back to the glory days of Blizzard North, but I can hope we can at least get back to polished enjoyable titles and never see this pathetic excuse of a cash grab ever again.

    Blizz please embrace this message and get your act together. We the consumers are NOT the enemy, so quit forcing our hand and treat us like customers again. Deep at heart we all want you to succeed!    … 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.

    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.
