    Activision Blizzard has managed to release a 18 year old game that is broken with less features. Please stop allowing these companies to get away with abusing their customers. You deserve better.

    Starcraft remastered was a better remastered product than this. All blizzard had to do was put a little time and investment into it and it'd be a good game. Seems like they used the same basic code for the game entirely and brought it to 2020.

    This is some wretched parody of classic Warcraft 3 from a small indie studio.
    No optimisation.
    - No new UI
    - No new cutscenes (just the old ones rescaled)
    - Lots of old features missing

    The majority of decisions that Blizzard make, regarding a lot of the games which i've been a fan of and played over the years, I simple cannot imagine being worse even if they tried.
    And now they drop the ball on this; so hard.
    An absolute disappointment when in this current year with technology and what should be almost two decades of experience in developing games the quality of what this team has thrown out is simply appalling considering the scale and budget differences to what was available in the early 2000s.
    The online aspect of the game is barely functional; if you are lucky enough to connect and start a game 1/4 of the time then you will likely experience connectivity issues throughout anyway.

    If you are lucky enough to get an online game going or give up like me and play a bit of the campaign or an AI game then you will notice that this simply does not play like a finished product.
    To elaborate, the game is really not optimised for stable release: my PC can run games like the Witcher 3/CoD MW at 1080p 60fps with high settings and relatively stable whereas even in singleplayer with settings dropped down to low I still get very brief freeze-ups let alone during large-scale combat.

    The above is simply my initial review of the functional elements of the game, I haven't even started on the rest. I haven't played enough quite yet to give an opinion on the state of balance changes and other details which have been made but safe to say I don't have much faith that these will be any better judging by the lack of ability by the developers to even get basic functionality working.

    I can't bear to write more to be quite frank, but if you still think this is a worthy purchase simply spend a few minutes reading about the other changes they have made.

    As an old-school gamer this is the final disgust I will allow myself to experience from these absolute monkeys with an access to a game-dev suite.    … Expand

    I was forced to leave the old smooth running game and had to download 30 gb of assets just to continue with an even buggier and laggier game. No shadow option for my classic units and the community features are just missing. Where is my ladder?
    I am also not able to let the game run on the internal GFX anymore which just results in unnecessary electricity consumption and heat generation.    … Expand

    El peor robo del 2020. Tanto hype, tanto culto, tanta espera, para un remake ente comillas, sin nada que agregar, sin cambios sustanciales, solo para mal. Jugaron con nuestros sentimientos, y nos entregaron un juego en beta, con un MOD de gráficas HD

    The game lags horribly. I don't think I am the only one to say that I was expecting alot more new content. Instead, the game was released late, it's pretty much the same game. I played the original just prior to release, so I could remind myself what the original was. However, now I'm just bored because it's the same thing over again.

    Would give a 1/10 for the improved visuals but there are even issues in that department as well. Alpha level quality as a full release. Blizzard should know better by now given all the negative feedback they have already received.

    I didn't even buy the game, but now because of Wc3:refunded I still got a juicy 15gb + download with all the new assets, slow ui and borked game feature, that got automatically added to my original game CursedPepe. Now I need to reinstall and re-patch without my game getting near battle.net. Not even a choice, and that alone in my opinion, is worth my vote.

    Broken promises, incomplete work, and bugs so massive that this game should still be in alpha testing.
    My adventure with Reforged began with you have been defeated. I started the campaign and before the play screen even came up, it said I have been defeated. A bug like that should never make it even into beta testing. Since I never got to start playing, I had to look to other sources    Broken promises, incomplete work, and bugs so massive that this game should still be in alpha testing.
    My adventure with Reforged began with you have been defeated. I started the campaign and before the play screen even came up, it said I have been defeated. A bug like that should never make it even into beta testing. Since I never got to start playing, I had to look to other sources of problems. Promised cinematics and cutscenes were not included as stated at BlizzCon 2018. What's worse is that on Blizzard's website, they still show the scene that is not included. That should be false advertising.

    Another mistake by Blizzard is the new end-user license agreement on the use of the map and game editor. Anything created using the editor included in Warcraft 3 reforged becomes, 100%, the property of Blizzard. The creator gets no credit, no recognition, and no compensation for their creative works. It all goes to Blizzard. I see that as downright unethical and perhaps even theft. This alienates a large chunk of the Warcraft 3 community. In my opinion, they should have made a first dibs rule in which if someone creates something that is potentially profitable, Blizzard gets first rights to offer the creators royalty or some other compensation for their work. That would maintain a friendly community. Instead they take a club to it like a bumbling ogre and shatter the creative community. Imagine the global uproar if Adobe did this to their software. If you use our software to create or edit anything, you are granting us full unconditional copyrights to those works.

    But what I see as the worst act Blizzard has taken in this disaster is the butchering of the original Warcraft 3. Even if you did not buy Warcraft 3 reforged, your installation of the original Warcraft 3 gets integrated into the modern battle.net. As a result, the original has now inherited many of the bugs from the reforged edition. This made parts of it unplayable. Fortunately for me, I still have my original CDs and keys. I reinstalled the game. Before opening it, I created a Windows firewall rule to prevent Warcraft 3 from communicating outside my home network. Thus preventing it from being reinfected by battle.net.

    So in the end, I'd say this has been a total disaster and PR nightmare for Blizzard. And looking back, this downward spiral began shortly after Activision purchased Blizzard 11 years ago.    … Expand

It's a perfect reflection of the company. It's a husk of its former self. Rotting. Cold. And smells of corporate reed.

    Warcraft III wasn't remade, remastered, or re-released. It was slaughtered like a stuffed pig with a gimp leg, and tossed in the drying and muddied riverbed of passion and creativity. And I can't even return to the game I once held so dear... because the toxic sludge oozing from this remaster has poisoned and ruined it. Physically and emotionally.

    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.
