    Blizzard - clowns. Absolutely old warcraft 3, nothing new, but now with x10 times worse graphics and localization, and tons of bugs. Download 26 gb for playing bugged warcraft with classic graphics picked in settings (because new graphics is much worse, i would say like in 199x games), and brand new joke localization? no thx.

    Pior remake/remaster da história. 18 anos e não houve nenhuma melhora.
    Bugs, HUD idênticos, gráficos semelhantes, CG's do trailers removidas, features removidas.
    E o pior, ainda removeram a opção de poder jogar a versão antiga. Se você tinha a versão antiga, não poderá jogar. Sem possibilidade de reembolso, NÃO COMPREM! DON'T BUY IT!

    They did the remake giving the job to a studio in Malaysia. Of course I couldn't be worst ... It's legit a downgrade to the oldest version of the game. Lucky that I haven't bought this crappy game for 40$ 1 year before the release.
    Thanks Blizzard to disappointed all your fans.

    Кажется, что может быть проще, чем немного обновить легендарную игру под современное юзабилити. У них было два года, а все, что они сделали, это наплодили багов, ухудшили анимацию и озвучку, ужасный перфоманс для такой графики и постоянные вылеты. В общем, надругались над классикой.Кажется, что может быть проще, чем немного обновить легендарную игру под современное юзабилити.

    - 5 of 10 games crashed on start (Join Bug)
    - Graphics is not Warcraft style, more looks like a PBR Korean MMO.
    - Lack of visual features.
    - Broken main menu, terrible perfomance as well bugs.
    - Nosense 2D low quality (i mean this art is terrible, not res or bit) sprites with same low quality animations.
    - Classic version in Reforged is incorrect, contains visual and sound bugs
    - Classic client is destroyed (This could be ok, but they not even provide old quality with Reforged client)
    - No Ladder system (yes, this is 2020)
    - No new observer mode (yes, this is 2020)
    - No player progression (yes, this is 2020)
    - Nosense host feature, both players can be played on USA host with 200 ping.

    Nevertheless, I will not downvote the rating for single player mode, but I will also note for this:
    - Clueless cutscenes (blizz lied on site about 4 hours)
    - No achievemnts

    Summ all facts and we will get broken version of Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne. Yes, just a Warcraft 3 with less features.
    This product is not 2020 quality, not worth the price, maximum price is 5$ for clueless (in my opinion) re-skin.
    Warcraft 3 Reforged more looks like an Early Alpha test with Release mark. This is not acceptable for multimillion company.
    Boycott for blizzard, this is just a spit into the players.

    My vote is 2/10, 2 points because they will fix some of bugs and add features in future.    … Expand

    Unacceptable business practices. Replacing the old client with an inferior and falsely advertised product, legally owning all custom games created by players, and a ton of other crap. Honestly if you thought of purchasing this please do your research because there's just too much to list here. Stay away. Blizzard needs to course correct or learn the hard way.

    To say Blizzard have killed themselves is a massive undermining of this situation.
    This unfinished mess of a "game" is beyond the scope of disappointment, they've crossed a dangerous line this time which could very well be the end of their company. False promises, false marketing (which is still being presented as real in their official website to this day), denying legal refunds, banning helpful forum members, pathetic excuses/apologies, the list goes on.
    Rest assured Blizzard will have legal issues for years to come, me and many others will make sure of this.

    Thankfully this community gives me renewed hope that we can unite and destroy these pathetic companies and bring them to the ground for treating their loyal fans and people who have supported them for years as trash.

    Whatever you do Blizzard, we all know this will never go away. All of your products are now garbage, you are beneath companies like EA, Bethesda, Bioware, and other failures of the gaming scene.

They imposed intellectual property over any mod made using their platform, so they could milk more any players that is doing something to make the game better.. a Along with that, they removed some features from the old game and forced the old client to update to a “reforged lite” version of this, killing the joy from from those still playing the original Reign of Chaos and The Frozen thrne… Expand

    It feels like a worse WC3 with better graphics. If things weren't bad enough Blizzards keeps lying to and shutting out their community. People in forums were banned for helping unsatisfied customers to get a refund.

    We are told that some promised features were dropped because they wouldn't fit the tone of the classic WC3. That the nostalgic feeling should be preserved. I am certain that Blizzard knows this is **** Instead of at least speaking the truth and telling people: 'Hey, we **** up and we know it.' they try to cover up their flaws with terrible reasoning.

    WC3 reforged was obviously not finished and needed a lot more time to be fully developed. I remember a Blizzard that would tell their community that they need more time. Something that each and every member of the community would understand and be glad about. We don't need a rushed but completely flawed product. We are willing to wait as long as it takes to have another legendary game.

    The only game I bought prerelease until 2018 was PUBG because most of my friends played it. I never was and never will be a fan of buying games prerelease. In my experience, the games turn out to be terrible. Apparently, since the companie already made money with the game it won't release a good game.

    When WC3 reforged came to battle.net it became the second game I ever bought in advance. To me, Blizzard was the only developer left that I could trust in. That I could trust to release a flawless game. A game that is always worth the money.

    Blizzard would always be a little pricey. Games such as World of Warcraft would be comparably more expensive than other titles but we as a community were always willing to pay. Simply because we knew it will absolutely be worth it. With WC3 reforged Blizzard joined the developers' money club with companies like EA. Releasing a title and selling it as a brand instead of creating a truely amazing game.

    There are only two ways to go from here. Blizzard will either have to completely fix the broken WC3 and release at least most of the promised features or Blizzard will join the club of developers that I will never buy from again.

    in the past years, Blizzard made many at best questionable decisions. After WC3 my faith in Blizzard as a developer was broken and I encourage anybody reading this to do the same. Riot Games for example just brought their new card game Legends of Runeterra to open beta. Feel free to spend time there instead.    … Expand

You want to rush and deliver a sub-par game just to make money? Well too bad because a huge majority of the people who purchased it are refunding it now. Oh and said avarice filled company is STILL advertising to this day (04-Feb-20) 4+ hours of reforged cutscenes (after issuing a statement saying that they weren't going to uphold their previous Blizzcon statement saying that cutscenes would be remastered). The matchmaking is terrible (3/4 of the time that you hear the game found sound, the screen just sits there until you forcibly remove yourself from the queue), again units look blocky and some look nothing like the original, and little things in the UI are still not fixed (under the heroes tab after a game is finished, every player's heroes are shifted slightly upward and not aligned with the proper player, it's as if no one from the development team even bothered to click on the tab and adjust the settings). Despite being released in 2020, the game responds even slower than its 2003 (The Frozen Throne) predecessor. Lastly the models have insanely strange hit boxes AND they completely removed the capabilities of playing the classic version of Warcraft 3 (as far as I know).
    I'm not one of the people who have refunded the game despite everything I've said above; this is due to a combination of the nostalgia factor and the current multiplayer gaming drought (of games that I like) being that intense. A few of my friends have asked me if the game is worth buying and I've told them to buy it to try to enjoy playing with friends, not for any other reason (desire for new models, the campaign which makes me automatically lose every other mission right after the loading screen, or anything else I've mentioned above). I'm extremely disheartened and hope that some of the issues I've mentioned above will be addressed at some point in future patches (particularly the generic looking models). Also there's no way to keep track of your record in Versus mode which is ridiculous.    … Expand

    Ahora nunca mas voy a precomprar un juego de Blizzard, voy a tener que esperar una semana para que esté con rating y asegurarme... cosa que no hacía antes, donde Blizzard era una empresa de calidad y todos sus juegos eran de excelencia. Es una pena lo que está pasando, desde Diablo3, Diablo mobile, WoW:WoD, WoW:Bfa... ahora no se que esperar, muy decepcionado.

    Il faut faire échap pour quitter la page et là on a un message du genre "Attention voulez-vous sauvegarder vos modifications".

    Les cinématiques vues à la blizzcon qui ne sont pas présentes mais qui sont toujours là pour le teaser sur le site officiel, les cartes persos du jeu classique supprimées et les futures dont le contenu appartient à Blizzard.

    Je ne parlerais pas longtemps de la décision de localiser les noms propres, il fallait s'y attendre depuis que c'est le cas sur WoW mais ça fait toujours bizarre.

    L'interface est encore plus moche que le jeu classique, les fps bloqués.

    Point positif pour être honnête : la "campagne" d'introduction avec Thrall prend aussi en compte les missions avec les trolls près du Maëlstrom mais même là... En étant nouveau on se retrouve avec deux missions dans la deuxième où on apprend à faire une base sans rien avec 5 grunts et la mission d'après on a des bâtiments dans tous les sens, tours de défense, chevaucheurs de loups etc. sans que ce ne soit présenté au joueur. Normal, ces missions bonus à l'époque n'étaient pas destinées à être des missions de tutoriel

    Petit point bonus sur les bans de joueurs qui cherchaient à aider les gens à se faire rembourser...

    The graphics are just plastic and ugly. The character portraits look like the characters got heavily sedated and can barely move their face.

    The style was very poorly chosen. Everything is exaggerated making characters look like caricatures (example: character wielding a hammer almost as big as him). It looks like a joke.

    Blizzard lied about what this will contain. No improved cinematic cut-scenes, no extra gameplay elements, no nothing. It was all a lie.

    The campaigns are now so easy you can easily beat them while semi-afk. It's like... what's the point of it all if it's so easy?

    Everything you now make (with your own ideas and hard work) in the wc3 engine is Blizzard's. This will prevent any good games ever being made again in wc3's custom game engine. If someone is confident that the stuff they make is good they won't put it in wc3 anymore.

    Also, you can no longer make custom game involving other franchises (if I want to make a Dragon Ball Z custom game for example.... well, It will be removed, no matter how good and fun it is).

    and, WORST OF ALL

    They ruined the original game, the one I bought in 2006.
    The amazing, original game lobby and b.net are gone. No more ladders, no more clan/race/etc channels, no more nothing.

    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.
