    Made a metacritic account just to add my disappointment to the collective. I grew up with Blizzard, and now.. this sorry excuse of a cashgrab. I miss the old blizz so much. RIP

The trailer back in BlizzCon 2018 was awesome and the whole thing was just a bait, it is not even in the game! It is the same game and you payed a third party, Malaysian company called Lemon Sky studio to make the character models! Where are the new lines you promised, where are the epic music you upgraded the game? Why was the trailer fluffed and the finished project **** You do not give us a finished project, you don't ask a full price for a 17 year old game! It even has the same bugs that the original Warcraft III had! You re-bottled the same thing and we bought it as a brand new, polished game! Blizzard is not Blizzard anymore, it is Activision, Blizzard just dove next to Bethesda as if it was a diving contest. Maybe we should flush you, because you do not even refund those who do not want your crap! That simple shows us, how well you stand for your products! It is like a Chinese ripoff back in the 80-90's, because that is what Blizzard become, a RIPOFF! Expand

    I was most of the time neutral or on Blizzards side, like the HS controversy or the classic controversy, but after the launch of reforged iam so much disappointed. I cant defend Blizzard anymore.

    At first Blizzard made many mistakes and they still promote the game with the old Trailer from 2018, but they always communicated that they will cut most of the promised Features, so i will not blame them for the most cut material.
    But they promised on the last blizzcon 2019 in the Q&A that they will at least reforged 8 maps, but we gained 3 and we only heard about it on release day.
    The commnunication in the official Forum was also near non existent.
    It was also promised that the beta will start at early 2019.
    So many lies in the last 2 years.

    Well but now to the game itself.
    Overall the graphics are solid but still lacks a lot of polish. The portraits for example looks weird. No emotions, lack of AA and to much lightning.
    The ground textures and trees were always complained and still not changed.
    Buildings and units overall are okay.

    Gameplay:
    Still like the classic Version. Nothing was changed which can be good or bad, depends on your likings.
    There are some bugs in the campaign which can be often solved by restart the game.

    Sound:
    I play the german version so iam mostly disappointed there aswell.
    Some VAs are good and some are bad. And with bad i mean very bad.
    For example Rexxar got 2 VAs in the bonus campaign. The one in the cutscenes is different from the one while you play the missions.

    There are lot of missing features like no online ladder which is a big deal for a game which is mostly played for competetive games.
    No costum campaigns, most costum maps doesnt even work anymore and are banned by Blizzard for weird reasons, but understandable to a degree (dota).

    I always wanted WC3 with actual graphics and a reforged story. I waited so long for this to happen and i enjoyed the blizzcon 2018 even with the Diablo controversy, but now its impossible for me to defend them anymore.

    Reforged was my last game from Blizzard.

    Me puse muy feliz cuando supe que uno de los juegos que marco mi infancia iba a salir remasterizado. Es primera vez en mi vida que compro un juego en preventa y mi decepcion ha sido gigantesca. Blizzard la vuelve a cagar otra vez.

    So basically they **** up the old client, made the new client even worse and updated some models and environments? Blizzard is officially dead at this point

    Never played any of the Warcrafts - I'm just here for the memes. But of course, now I will never play any of them.

    But on a related note - if they **** with Starcraft I will ****** everyone.

    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.
