    Blizzard is pretty much dying. No new games, insisting on cheap ways of bringing old games back to get more money from their "fans"

    I still kinda believe in Warcraft III: Refund but now at this stage i'm more than just a little disappointed. Money rules the world and Activision squeezes the **** out of Blizzard.

    I thought long and hard about posting this review at all, but in the end, Blizzard messed up too badly for me to restrain myself this time. I'm not normally a pessimist. Honestly I often find myself Defending Blizz on a lot of things. But this time it's too far.

I'm not normally a pessimist. Honestly I often find myself Defending Blizz on a lot of things. But this time it's too far.

    Let me start off the review proper by saying in complete honesty, I don't own the game. 'Wait, that's not fair, you're just review bombing' might be your first thought. But that's not the case, because in direct relation to this product's existence and release...

    ... Blizzard Stole from me.

    When I was a kid, a friend introduced me to the then-just-released World of Warcraft. I fell in love, and immediately started playing. As my love for the game and the series grew, around the time of Burning Crusade, someone told me about the Warcraft games. As someone who loved Age of Empires, I was all-in. At the time I owned the hard copies which I had purchased or been gifted, for Warcraft 3. Unfortunately I lost those as I grew and moved out and then moved again. One day many years later, I saw that I could purchase the game digitally and play it off my Battle Net Launcher. I was thrilled.

    Come the launch of Warcraft 3 Reforged. I hadn't, actually, pre-ordered. That's not what this is about. I was waiting to see just how cool it was as, while I loved Warcraft 3, I had a lot of other games by this point in my life. But this... this was not what I expected.

    Blizzard stole from me. I didn't realize it at first, but then a friend pointed it out to me. 'Hey, my original Warcraft 3 is gone from my launcher'. Sure as heck, it was. Gone and, as of all the research I can find at the time of this review, unable to be re-installed unless you have the hard copy of the disks.

    I don't remember this in your W3 Reforged sales pitch, Blizzard. I don't remember talking about stealing from players and forcing them to re-purchase the new game just to hit a toggle switch to play the old version with your 'classic' graphics or whatever they're called. And you know what, I'll fall on my sword, maybe it Was there in the fine print and I just missed it. But that doesn't make it right.

    Don't steal from your players.    … Expand

    Warcraft III: Remonetized

    Would love to get back into the W3 cosmos, although i don't want to ruin one of my Top 3 childhood-gaming experiences. Maybe it will be a finished product next January.
    Also: There's no TFT? Coming at u as another expo? LOL

    Como se não fosse o bastante substituir para os usuários o clássico original com essa caca, a entrega foi uma completa decepção para as expectativas geradas pela publicidade mentirosa. Nunca vi um downgrade tão grande.

    This game delievers on barely any of blizzards promises, bad game performance, incomplete modes and functionality. Was excited for this game, preordered a game for the first time in years, very disappointed.

    I cannot even begin to fathom the mindset behind the entire dev team on days before and the day of releasing this product to consumers. In no way shape or form was this more than but an alpha test riddled with bugs and horrible decisions. I cannot recommend this not for a VERY long time.

    There are missing features which were in original WC3, false advertising regarding the new cutscenes, draconian new rules for custom maps, the fact all these issues affect the original game even if you didn't buy Reforged.

    The list goes on and on..

    Blizzard has a paragraph in the user agreement for this game that they have exclusive rights to any custom game which is made in this game.

    Only Activision could ruin one of the best games E V E R made. Not only is this a poor graphical upgrade, but you chose to crap all over the online community that not only made the game better, but made it immortal. You just ensured nobody will ever take this game seriously for sake of you trying to monetize their hard work. Congrats!!!

    - 90 % of promised features not working
    - Bugs
    - No new custom scenes
    - No new UI

    Это совсем не тот Варкрафт, что вы ожидаете увидеть. Множество новых багов, которых не было ранее и принудительный апдейт на новый лаунчер. Плохо.

    I didn't pay 40 dollars to be a QA tester for a 17 year old game. It's unthinkable that this could come out in such a broken state, and promising "future" updates is unacceptable.

    Wow, the backlash is something else. I must say, all of you guys who fanboy rage this game to the ground are something else.

    Let me start off by saying Blizz indeed made promises they didn't keep, and they should be ashamed of it. There is no excuse to remove many promised features from a highly anticipated game, and communicatie poorly about it. BUT I also have to say you guys are    Wow, the backlash is something else.

    BUT I also have to say you guys are severely overreacting. Why does giving a 0 give you guys so much pleasure? I really don't understand.

    The units and textures have been polished, and actually do look very good. The gameplay still stands, and to this day is still one of the best RTS experiences you can have on any platform.

    I cannot give the game a positive score, but I won't follow the blind fanboy rage and give it a 0 either. The problem with Metacritic score is you only dish out 0 and 10. Just look at the game for wat it is, a good revisitation of a classic game, which doesn't hold up to the promises made by the publisher.

    4/10 for the things that are good about it: story, campaign, graphical polish on units/buildings/tiles. Negative because of the lack in features and withheld promises.    … Expand

    I cannot believe how trash this game is and how blizzard could back stab its own loyal fan base. Graphics so terrible, there is literally no anti aliasing. The classic graphics were downgraded very much as well. Even worse the original game is gone! Shame on you blizzard.

    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.
