    Warcraft III Refunded! Do yourself a favor and don't buy this freaking cash grab. A lot of features from the ORIGINAL game (released almost 18 years ago) were removed, and others features that they promised were scrapped without a single warning.

    Blizzard posts on twitter about how many female internts they have, they celebrate diversity, meanwhile all the real devs leave so they have to merge with activision. Cames become **** and they start preaching political messages which most of the common sense population disagree with. Oh what a surprise, the games they make are **** now.
    Same **** will apply for diablo 4. They cant come

    Same **** will apply for diablo 4. They cant come up with anything original so they have to reboot their older games which they had no interest of developing in the first place

    Updated graphics, kinda. Didn't reforge cutscenes, went back on promises, messed up old version of the game I owned. All that stuff they showed you at Blizzcon? Not there.

    Piss off, you're ghouls wearing the shell of something we loved.

I'm an avid warcraft 3 fan and it hurts me to see the original game ruined by such a corporate, myopic business decision to put as little money as possible into a "new" game in order to update the EULA and claim intellectual property rights over people's custom games. It is full of bugs, the graphics are rushed and unpolished (even the menus look worse than the original). Hardly anything from the classic game works.. sounds.. replays.. they abandoned virtually everything they promised to deliver in this game. That's why they released it silently.

    I imagine in 2017 a conversation at Activision/Blizzard went like this:

    "Hey we totally missed the boat on DotA by not paying attention to our community and capitalizing on easy opportunities.. how can we not do that?"
    "I know, we'll change the EULA (user agreement) so that anyone who makes a custom game has to give it to us 100% so we can make all the money off it, and they get none!"
    "Brilliant! But nobody will like that... how can we make this okay?"
    "We could 'remake' warcraft 3? Give it some quality of life updates and some new graphics? Then poeple will be happy to play the new game with the new EULA."
    "Great idea, but I don't want to actually spend any money in order to make money... how about we just outsource everything for cheap, spend hardly any money at all, and update the EULA in the new game? We spend nothing, and make tons!!"
    "Brilliant!"
    "Brilliant!!!"

    RIP Blizzard. Sad to see how out of touch with your once-customers you have become.

    I don't know how it could have been worse. Even Blizzard's reaction to the launch is disappointing and shows that they do not care whatsoever.

    You just lost my trust.

I've been following the development of this for quite a while and I was sceptical since its inception. It's quite evident that it's a budget product, with just a handful of developers working on it without an art director or any artists to speak of. The guys working on the game were passionate, I've been following them quite vividly and their communication with the community and dedication was evident. However the project required a lot more time and in-house art staff to help truly bring this game to life. From the very first beta footage I saw, something striking hit me. Models were with radically different sizes and with very varying quality. That was very quick proof that the art was outsourced to a 3rd company and as such, simple corrections couldn't be quickly or efficiently done.
    .
    Now a lot of people are complaining about the old engine and they are in their right. However the engine isn't entirely the same. In the last 2 years since this game's inception, an absolute ton of beefing up was done to the game's engine, allowing for many new cool things to be achieved with it. However that potential was not tapped into with this remake. If anything, fans of classic Warcraft 3 can enjoy them, as those improvements to the engine allow for more advanced and better optimised custom maps to be released. Too bad Blizzard discourages map creation with their new end user licence... What a terrible time for this game to be developed at...

    This is for announcing a complete remake and release a **** remaster. Warcraft is a franchise that many love and what Blizzard is doing is using that love to make money. We hope Blizzard really fails and just disappears; There is no fix for what they are doing.

    I bought this game on the premise that the Campaign would get an overhaul, that gaps in the lore would be filled, new improved cutscenes and World of Warcraft compatibility. While the game is improved graphically, the rest is shoddy work. Blizzard must commit to realising their 2018 vision.

    Игра самом по себе ну таккая. Норм вроде. Но вот жмотское пользовательское соглашение по которому все созданные кастомки принадлежат близард это ужас. Мало денег? С такими темпами может и созданное в фотошопе принадлежит адобе? В обще компания не подумала абсолютно ни оком.Игра самом по себе ну таккая. Норм вроде.

    No passion, just a cash grab with some sub-par graphics that overall is a step down from the original game. Sad that Blizzard has come to this.

    Blizzard used to be trustworthy about putting out their games with immense care and love for their players and their players' needs. now all there is are bean counters sitting in the background counting the coins they make. There are no creative people in Blizzard anymore, just old heads hanging around waiting for their retirement. It's truly sad what's happened to this once great company!

    LIES after LIES. What they showed us at BlizzCON is ALL LIES.
    The re-skinned the game and tries to pass it off as an "upgrade" and they couldn't even get that right.
    The CG in this game (the end) looks like a 1st generation CG commercial from ten years ago - the one thing that Blizzard is known for they managed to ruin it. ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE.

    If you want to play the amazing original Reign of Chaos pvp game that existed for two decades, you are now SOOL. I literally played that almost every day since launch - easily one of the top players in play time.
    No more.

    I own the original Warcraft 3, I did not purchase Reforged, yet Blizzard saw fit to replace my old copy with the new remaster with the upgraded graphics turned off. Because of this my game, which has been running fine for years, is now a broken piece of garbage as Reforged has many technical issues. Thanks Activision-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.
