    This is not what you promised. Just terrible optimization, hackneyed implementation of the game menu, etc.

    For all people here.
    This game is meh..
    Wc3 classic is unsinkable. And you can't "reforge" legendary game by one iteration to the garbage. This game is about 4-6 of 10. This is typical steam early access strategy game for 3$ with typical problems. But Blizzard had promised so much more for us. That i just can't take it. This is 0. The only way to fix this: - fix all bugs - update    For all people here.

    Meshes are okey.
    The only thing, that's "okey" it Warcraft III: Reforged.
    There's no new graphics, no new weather, no new sun effects. This is really bad remaster, but, this is not a remaster - this is Reforged. Well, no. Theres nothing reforged in Reforged. It's well played, and interesting, because of 18 years old decisions. All new content is kinda bad. И что сделали с озвучкой    Meshes are okey.

And I found out, and this is less on Blizzards part but they decided not to add new cutscenes and to make the game fit better in the lore by working with Christie Golden which is so disappointing they would give in to the "fans" of the game when Christie is by far the best writer for the Warcraft series, books or games, and it was have been amazing to see new things added.… Expand

    Я всю жизнь была фанатом варкрафта3. Когда я узнала об анонсе рефорж, я скакала от счастья. Наконец-то моим любимым "трем полигонам" дадут жизнь. Предзаказ был оформлен в первые же дни.

    За пару дней я прошла несколько кампаний...ничего не буду говорить про оптимизацию и лаги, и так много сказано уже. Не знаю, для кого сделан средний режим сложности, но я его не ощутила вообще. Модельки красивые, да, радуют глаз, но при общих лагах атмосферы не чувствуется, некоторые анимации сделаны на отвали. Чувство, будто карты глав уменьшили, работа над ландшафтом КельТаласа плохая: стоит сравнить атмосферность карт глав, где Арт*с только приходит в эльфийские леса, из в3 и рефорж...

    Они потеряли ту атмосферу, ту манящую изюминку, душу...

    Yep, you sure showed us through your actions with this hot pile of garbage.

    Game hasn't changed much beyond the visuals, still just an 8/10

    After playing Warcraft 3: Reforged, I've been able to see a lot of both the good and the bad of the remake. I'm gonna try to break down the goods/bads of this game.

    Can only comment on offline custom games. Was very bad at first, I was just playing AI and would disconnect due to connection?! Can now seem to play offline or it has been better displayed on GUI to logout or force custom game wherein there is only AI. Am more of a huge Broodwar fan...but graphics are nice but have lost some cartoonish charm.

    I think wc3 reforged is very flawed. However with the amount of people giving this game a 0/10 i can't really take those "reviews" seriously.
    This game is NOT a 0/10 game.
    I personally picked it up just before it fully released. Somwhere in the beta, like many players warcraftIII was my favorite game growing up, mainly for the custom games.

    This game is NOT a 0/10 game.

    I personally picked it up just before it fully released. Somwhere in the beta, like many players warcraftIII was my favorite game growing up, mainly for the custom games.

    Contrary to what many people here claim the classic version of the game was borderline unplayable before reforged. small playerbase, constant crashes, ect. Since reforged i've still had some crashes but notibally less. Most of my disconects were my internet falling off instead of the game fatal error'ing on me. This for sure wasn't the case when i still played classic a year or two back. In classic i could almost never get a good game in.

    A lot of content got scrapped. For example reconecting to the game was promised at one point but not implemented. Just like many things were scrapped afterwards.
    The activision move to copyright custom maps is really terrible aswell. honestly someone should fire whoever makes these decisions.

    Reforged it'self however has been amazing as a secondary game for me. I've relived some of the fun i've had in the past and for the first time really played the campaign seriously.

    I don't remember how it was when i played this in classic but it never felt quite the same as it did in reforged. I LOVED the campaign. for the first time in my life i really connected to the story and that's honestly quite fun.

    I almost never completely play a game start to end but wc3 reforged was a blast for me personally.

    i don't remember there being this many missions.
    Here's a small summary of my thoughts:

    Contrary to what many people here claim:
    -custom games performance has improved ALOT. no more automatic hosting bots and 10k ping games that were the result of cross server mergings. And way less desyncs.
    -Still some of the same bugs however, desyncs do still happen sometimes, reconnecting is still not added.

    -New models look really nice. there are a TON of them
    -24 player maps are pretty fun and they still fill up decently right now, eras zombie invasion with 24 players playing as denmark or morocco is amazing!
    -The Campaign is more fun than it ever was before. For the first time in my life i really loved playing through it. I haven't had this much of a blast playing a campaign since dishonered II. The story might still be the same but on reforged for the first time it got through to me.
    -Non custom PVP seems to be ruined. I personally never really played that too much but i know others do. However in all honesty before reforged only a few hundred players ever played classic pvp wc3 and most of those are way to good to have fun at it anyway.

    Final thoughts:

    It's honestly been a joy to see my favorite game of all time be playable in better graphics with newer models and so on. While the gameplay might still be most of the same warcraft 3 is a timeless game. Theres a reason we were still playing before reforged released. I am personally very happy that blizzard made this. While the execution hasn't been that great the campaign is amazing and custom games seem to function better.
    I hope they patch in some of the things they promised before, and maybe add some scrapped functions again.

    I hope blizzard isn't discouraged to keep working on this game and over time improve it. If they ditch this here this would be a "failure" but there is a LOT of potential to work with here. Alot of the decisions made were good. They should take that and give us some of the features they initially promised but scrapped along the way. There are a ton of people still playing. While it's currently rated as 0.6/10 it's definitely not what people are taking into account since alot of us are enjoying it alot still.    … Expand

It's still the same game we all know and loved but i'm just so disappointed in the final results that i don't want to give it the same review. I already owned Warcraft 3 so i bought it with the understanding that the new cinematic they promised were actually in the game. They broke their promise and lied to us.

    The question is, does it deserve a zero? Do we review Warcraft 3 or the "fancy" new paint job. Do we review our disappointment or are we just sick of "evil" video game companies taking advantage of us?

    I understand why people are upset with professional critics. It's known that if you don't give a game game a good review they will loose their perks. Youtubers will loose their early review copies making them miss out of hype view counts and behemoths like Ign and Gamespot will loose exclusive trailers and interviews which is the only reason why they are so big.

    I just read the Ign review for this game i understand why they gave the game a 7. Yes, 7 is the score you give a bad game from a business daddy but reading the review i saw this was a person who loved Warcraft.

    I still like the game. It's Warcraft 3. It's one of the best RTS's of all time. But given all that has been going on with Blizzard and just the video game industry in general. I'm not happy.

    I can't give this game the same review as the original. But it's Warcraft 3! I have the option of playing with the old graphics but i don't. So i can't give it a 0 either. I'm just going to give this a a bland 5 for the bland remake it is.    … Expand

Пусть это будет мой первый отзыв об игре, надо же с чего-то начинать. До сей поры игры у меня не вызывали особо разочарования, я старался искать плюсы и опускать минусы, ну или сводить эти минусы в минимальным проблемам игры. Когда был только анонсирован WC3 Reforged, для меня это было чем-то потрясающим, вау, старая игра с новой графикой, новые катсцены, обновленная кампания! И вот проходит 2(?) года и месяц с предзаказа мной данной игры. Первое что порадовало, обилие матчей в пользовательских играх, в открытой бете я очень таки наигрался в различные кастомки с новым и старым графоном. Но вот сидишь в меню игры, смотришь на это все и не ощущаешь тех чувств, когда запускаешь оригинальный WC3, будь то Reign of chaos или же Frozen Throne. В частности при выборе кампании тебя сразу же закидывают в миссию, не давая попасть в выбор этих миссий. Почему я уделяю внимание именно этому? Мне очень нравились фракционные меню кампаний, вот выбираешь кампанию ночных эльфов, экран темнеет и переносит тебя к совершенно другим декорациям, на фоне которых и стоит лучница ночных эльфов. В Reforged эти самые меню тоже есть, но... Псевдоанимированные картинки, серьезно? Ладно, это все же мелочи, но это первое за что я зацепился. Поиграв в "Исход орды" мне понравилась картинка в целом, но вот цветовая гамма местности ну как-то не очень, мягко говоря. И вот я снова зацепился за мелочь. Портреты персонажей. В катсценках при разговоре они не выглядят живыми. Статичный взгляд, почти неподвижная голова, не говоря уже про "липсинк". Да, игра на том же самом движке, я понимаю. Но вот даже на старых модельках они выглядели живее, хоть и немного нелепо. Снова мелочи, снова придирки. Но не тут то было, просадки ФПС, здравствуйте, давно не виделись в WC3! Видно очень сильно грузят новые текстурки мою систему, понимаю. Ладно катсцены, но неужели активижен настолько сильно подгонял, что вы игровые ролики не смогли переделать? Меня очень порадовал вступительный ролик, почти тот же самый, что я увидел в первый раз (это про орка и пехотинца, которому оторвут руку в оригнальном ролике, а в обновленной версии нет (у нас тут как бы овервотч по соседству, какие оторванные конечности, вы что!))
    Сам геймплей ощущается таким же, каким и был, мне нравится история игры, персонажи и весь мир игры. Моя оценка 5, но это оценка самой Warcraft 3. Оценка Warcraft 3 Reforged - 0 баллов. Я играю в тот же самый варкрафт, но с новыми текстурками и звуками. Боюсь, что тех самых Blizzard, которые могли и умели выпускать игры, которые мы любим больше нет. Балом правит Activision и кошелек Бобби Котика, прибыль с игр и цензура. Мое уважение Bungie хотя бы за то, что свалили из этого, надеюсь у Blizzard настанут лучшие времена. А пока, очень боюсь за Diablo 4 и будущее WoW.    … Expand

    Not a great launch and unfortunately the month long delay for the release date doesn't seem like it was enough for the game to actually improve and have everything fleshed out.

But with time when the game gets patched and many of the issues get fixed, I'm sure this game could be a solid 7/10 or 8/10 (I will most probably update my score then). Unfortunately, compared to the original, which released in 2002, this remaster version can't even hold a candle to it. Maybe in the future if there is another massive graphics and animation overhaul, in addition to all of the other bugs being fixed it could reach a score of 10. Otherwise, for the moment I don't see it or feel the nostalgia.

    Pros:
    - Nice graphics, but not as amazing as I expected.
    - Nice magic effects, but not as good or revamped as expected.
    - Some??? cut-scenes have been re-rendered and look amazing.

    Cons:
    - The fight animations (magic casting, ranged and melee) are on occasion not consistent, e.g. character stops mid animation or repeats animation etc.
    - Moreover, I expected new fight and movement/death animations and improved magic effects. But this is just about the same as the original.
    - Some of the old modded maps work, which is nice, but many don't work as they should, which is crap.
    - Stat screen at the end of games seems to on occasion have hero icons floating all over the place or not showing stats in genera? (not sure if this is just me)
    - Campaign missions seem bugged at times (at least the prologue missions seem to work).    … Expand

    Да из-за этого "Ремастера / Рескина", а не "Перековки" (язык тут вообще не поворачивается называть это ей), нас по сути лишили классики, так как теперь её "официально" и "легально" можно достать только при помощи "пиратства" (да не могу в это поверить сам даже немного). "Но есть же переключение графики" - скажете вы и будете "частично" правы, да переключение есть вот только с ним в этот раз напортачили знатно:
    Если взять ситуацию со Starcraft где сделали "платный ремастер" с возможностью переключения, как на новую, так и на старую графику и где сам он формально является "отдельной игрой", а "классическая" версия также осталась в "не изменённом виде", да и бесплатно стала раздаваться с возможностью вообще "легально" в неё играть, то вот с Warcraft III разработчики решили сделать всё намного "жестче": оригинал просто напросто "насильно затолкали" в ремастер причём в буквальном смысле, теперь сыграть в старый Warcraft III со "старой, русской озвучкой" и с некоторыми фишками мультиплеера у вас просто не получится, точнее "получиться" конечно, но "формально" вы теперь скачиваете "Перековку" в "старом виде", потому что вам теперь нужно 30 ГБ свободного Дискового Пространства, вместо 2 ГБ для игры 2002 ГОДА КАРЛ! причём, возможности сыграть именно в СТАРУЮ версию тупо нет даже бесплатно нельзя её скачать, а те у кого был куплен Warcraft III ещё до его официальной "Перековки", теперь можно смело сказать, что они "выкинули" 998 Руб. (цена покупки обоих дополнений старой версии игры), так как в самой игре теперь делать нечего: в кастомки не сыграешь по нормальному из-за багов, серверные аккаунты со всеми достижениями были потёрты в хлам, как будто в эту игру никто и никогда не играл, а вышла она только сейчас, кастомные кампании теперь также были вырезаны под корень (а ведь я, автор этого отзыва, в детстве начал активно задротить в Warcraft III, именно из-за этой "фичи") да и новые и ни кому не ведомые баги появились в игре 2002 Года не с того ни с сего.

    В общем подводя итог, я скажу что в этом "Ремастере" хорошо получились только две вещи:
    1) Теперь каждые модельки имеют свои "уникальные" текстуры и нет "повторений", которые были в "Классической" версии.
    2) Хорошо узнаваемую и возможно кому-то въевшуюся в память Музыку игры, также обновили и местами она начала звучать по новому.
    Все остальные, новые Вещи появившиеся в "Ремастере" (включая и Графику), это определённо Шаг назад от "Классики".    … Expand

Because of false advertisement, lying to the fans, and not making their promises live.

    Warcraft 3 Reforged (он же Warcraft 3 Refun,Warcraft 76, Варкрафт Халтура,Позорная игра 2020,Прости Артас мы все про+++++).
    Начну с того что сама игра не настолько уж и плоха как большинство думают,а весь это негативный Хайп просто раздут.
    Итак начнем с плюсов. 1. Лично мне очень понравилась графика,безусловно по сравнению с трейлером 2018 года который нам показали графика стала    Warcraft 3 Reforged (он же Warcraft 3 Refun,Warcraft 76, Варкрафт Халтура,Позорная игра 2020,Прости Артас мы все про+++++).
    Начну с того что сама игра не настолько уж и плоха как большинство думают,а весь это негативный Хайп просто раздут.

    Итак начнем с плюсов.
    1. Лично мне очень понравилась графика,безусловно по сравнению с трейлером 2018 года который нам показали графика стала хуже,но в целом графика очень приятная и не раздражает глаза. Графика в целом соответствует стилистике.
    2. Компания все таки немного переделана,в Исход Орды я заметил новые миссии,карту Строндхольд(а по слухам от игроков еще и Даларан,Луносвет и многое другое) изменили и вообще кучу мелких деталей в компанию добавили.
    3. Игра поддерживает старые кастомки (ну в принцыпе из за этого я и покупал)

    Теперь к минусам:
    Нас частично обманули.
    1. Ролики не переработали,а лишь поменяли разрешения (исключение только битва Артаса и Иллидана). Если зайти на официальный сайт то можно заметить что в описание игры указано что в Варкрафте 3 Рефордж Более 40 часов эпического игрового процесса и более 4 часов переработанных внутриигровых роликов. Это является обманом. 1 ролик это не 4 часа.
    Так же графику в самой игре немного ухудшили(если сравнивать с трейлером 2018 года).
    2. В игре крайне много багов что не похоже на качество Близзард.
    Вылеты из игры,не подключение к кастомным играми,вылеты из кастомных игр,дефекты изображения,плохая оптимизация и многое другое не похоже на качественную игру.
    3. Русская озвучка. Это просто какой то ужас.
    Что в обучение,что в роликах,что в диалогах и просто при игре озвучка ужасная.
    Такое ощущению что кто это озвучивал тупо читали монотонно текст по бумажке без эмоций. И в итоге это все так скучно и плохо звучит что слов просто нету.
    После классической озвучки от софт клаба эту озвучку просто невозможно слушать.
    Артаса озвучили вообще хуже всех(как будто специально именно Русским подосрали с плохой озвучкой чтобы обидеть,иначе этому объяснений просто нету).
    И самый прикол что в меню графику переключить можно,а озвучку нет.
    Мне вообще интересно: был ли хоть какой то контроль качества который это проверял?

    Ну и вот мой финальный Итог: 5 из 10.
    Чисто из за любви к вашей компании,к Варкрафту 3 я не могу поставить ниже оценку,ибо мне самому будет плохо это видеть ибо от такого рейтинга на метакритике душа болит просто.
    Возврат игры делать не стал как истинный фанат,жду когда доведут игру до ума .
    Если вы исправите озвучку и баги то я исправлю свой обзор в лучшую сторону.
    Думаю многие адекватные игроки со мной согласятся и тоже повысят рейтинг игре если будет исправлена озвучка,баги и будет допилена игра.

    -The original story
    -Improved models
    -The Cinematics are still beutiful, while not redone have had their resolution upscaled, and gamma changed in some cases. The Blizzard Cinematics all the way back in 2003 still hold up compared to some cinematics that are made today

They fixed a lot in the human campaign. I haven't completed much else, but for now I'm pretty happy with the campaign.

    Unfortunately, there are some issues. Stuttering at times during gameplay and especially during the main menu. Shouldn't exist in a blizzard game.

    - изменить кат-сцены на движке игры
    - внести больше небольших лорных изменений в кампанию по типу карт "Очищение Стратхольма" или пленение Сильваны.
    - завезти стабильность, давно ставшую визитной карточкой Близзард
    - оставить старую русскую озвучку либо позвать на нее актеров дубляжа из WoW
    - оставить олдам классику в ее первозданном виде с рейтингом и тд

    Первое они уже частично реализовывали, второе плевое дело, над третьим они все равно заморочились, но зажали WoW'овский дубляж. И о как же это было прекрасно, когда на ролик очищения Стратхольма с презентации 18 года я наложил звук из ролика WoW с озвучкой даже не В. Вихрова! и это была бомба.

    В сухом остатке я не понимаю, зачем эта игра нужна?! Для сетевой игры она нестабильна, лишина рейтинга. Для кампании лишина души благодаря озвучке, в остальном абсолютно та же, без особых изменений. Даже кастомки и те ограничиваются. Но теперь есть новые модельки, преимущественно красивые. Но я не разглядываю их все время, а старая графика меня не раздражала.

    В таких условиях у меня складывается впечатление, что отняли гораздо больше, чем дали. Это неравноценный обмен. Это не попытка уважить олдов, а желание привлечь новых игроков в старую игру.

    The more I play, the more I understand that this is a failure. And this despite the fact that I did not have high expectations from the game. All that was needed was:
     
    - change cut scenes on the game engine
    - make more changes to the campaign by the type of cards "Purification of Stratholme" or the capture of Sylvanas.
    - to bring stability, which has long become the hallmark of Blizzard
    - leave the old Russian voice acting or call on the actors of the dubbing from WoW
    - leave old classic in its original form with a rating, etc.

    They already partially implemented the first, the second trifling matter, they worked on the third, but without the actors of dubbing from WoW.

    In the bottom line, I do not understand why this game is needed ?! For a network game, it is unstable, lacking a rating. For the campaign, the soul’s loss is due to the voice acting, the rest is absolutely the same, without any changes. Even custom ones are limited. But now there are new models, mostly beautiful. But I do not look at them all the time, and the old graphics did not annoy me.

    In such conditions, I get the impression that they took away much more than they gave. This is an unequal exchange. This is not an attempt to respect the old, but a desire to attract new players to the old game.    … Expand

Прочитав пользовательские отзывы вы не найдете там конструктива и здравой критики, лишь популистские возгласы и хейт. Теперь по факту:

    1. Производительность. Утечки памяти и дропы производительности имеют место, но далеко не все так ужасно, как вещают "критики" с ютуба, они строго фиксированы, т.е у большинства людей на различных системах в одних и тех же моментах при прохождении, (кстати именно эти места вам и демонстрируют ваши любимые блогеры, утверждая "глобальной" проблеме с производительностью), что спокойно правится патчем в первые пару недель.

    2. Озвучка местами шикарная, а местами актёры очевидно недоигрывают (актёр озвучки Артаса, как пример).

    3. Заметный даунгрейд в графическом плане по сравнению с демонстрацией на близкон, но советую не слушать "специалистов" по игровому арту, голосящих о регрессе в сравнении с оригиналом 2002 год-очевидное вранье. Графика приятная, но местами уж кислотная, что тоже поправимо.

    4. Отсутствие возможности проходить пользовательские компании, а также новое пользовательское соглашение редактора карт, в котором прописано, что любая пользовательская карта, созданная в Reforged, не может быть воспроизведена где-либо ещё, т.е Blizzard имеет полное право прикрыть её автономную версию, является для меня основным минусом. Надеюсь, что вернуть возможность проходить компании.

    5. Проблемы со стабильностью сетевого сегмента игры. Вы можете вылететь сразу после загрузки матча или смотреть на вылет своих оппонентов и на победу в следствии :) ну и урезанный функционал, по сравнению с оригиналом 2002 года, что тоже временно и будет постепенно исправляться и вводиться в игру.

    Резюмируя, хочу посоветовать думать своей головой, а не вестись на мнение толпы, рефлексирующей о своих несбывшихся надеждах, которые это толпа себе и сама придумала, ибо читать официальные заявления разработчиков в процессе разработки игры, она считает выше своего достоинства.

It is not only worse then the original, but it also automatically owns everything you create to include custom maps. Throw this in the dumpster where it belongs. This is the final sign that Blizzard is no more, not even a trace and Bobby is completely in charge. There is no excuse for this.… Expand

    I dunno, I'm having fun playing through the campaign and fiddling with the world editor again. Granted the game doesn't look as beautiful and crisp as Blizzard let on, but it still looks okay. The character models and buildings look well enough when you zoom in. Kind of confused why we still have the old UI when we saw promotional videos showcasing a brand new one. but whatever.

    Haven't played any online games yet, which is the part of the game that a lot of people seem to be complaining about.

    Giving this a 7/10 just because, honestly, it's just a slightly nicer looking WC3 with a few things made clunkier (like having to make an online custom game to be able to play against AI, kind of weird). It's still WC3, which undoubtedly is one of the top 3 best RTS games of all time, so it has that going for it.    … Expand

    The only reason this doesn't get a lower score is because the underlying game of Warcraft III was already an incredible game featuring amazing campaigns. And yet somehow Blizzard still managed to screw up one of the most revered RTS games.

And yet somehow Blizzard still managed to screw up one of the most revered RTS games.

    My initial experience with Reforged was that I had screen tearing in a cinematic prompting me to enable vsync. Problem solved. But that was where I was wrong as another problem reared it's head.

    Upon reaching chapter 3 in the prologue campaign? I kept getting kicked to the main menu with an instant defeat screen. I tried restarting to the game to find my save progress for chapter 1 and 2 were gone.

    And that's to say nothing of the issues others have had with custom games. Apparently the old custom game "Booty Bay Wars" doesn't work because the new battlenet integration doesn't like the word "Booty".

    On paper the idea of integrating the two was sound enough. A larger pool of players, etc. However the execution has left many lamenting the loss of clans, automated tournaments, ladders, and more.

    Then you throw in the draconian ToS that ensures all created maps belong to Blizzard and you have guaranteed that players will not be wanting to support this iteration in the way they have Warcraft III classic for the past 17 odd years.

    Despite all of these issues? I have had fun with the campaigns. And many of the new models do look nice. Until you get to Lady Vashj which has human ears. Had this launched without the littany of issues and nailed the execution? $30 for such a package would have been a home run. The amount of campaigns offer such content that you don't get from most season passes that cost the same price.

    But in it's current state? I just cannot recommend this iteration to anyone. Wait for patches (if it receives any at all). If you really want to play Warcraft 3? Find a disc copy with working key and do a clean install and keep it as far away from battlenet as possible as it will update even the old one to the new reforged client.    … Expand

    They should have told us that it would be a remastering with new models and textures, a balance of units. It's a huge job to redraw models and animations, make new effects, re-sound characters, replace all icons and redesign the interface.

    But no one is paying attention to this, because marketers were talking about very different changes. Perhaps Blizzard made a new trailer without misleading changes? Maybe a deceptive teaser of the game with new cutscenes that won't be available was removed from the official site? This did not happen.

    I played it and I can say that the game is not worthy of evaluation on Metacritic. Because of the mass hysteria, the game adds cons, which are not present and do not notice the pros.

    I think it's unfair to call this game a travesty. It is still very much Warcraft 3 and it isn't necessarily a bad game.

    So far I've played through the prologue, the human and undead campaign. Apart from an instant defeat bug at the beginning I've yet to experience any bugs in the campaign. I think that I've also gone through all the actual 'reforged' missions: Stratholme, Dalaran and    I think it's unfair to call this game a travesty. It is still very much Warcraft 3 and it isn't necessarily a bad game.

    So far I've played through the prologue, the human and undead campaign. Apart from an instant defeat bug at the beginning I've yet to experience any bugs in the campaign. I think that I've also gone through all the actual 'reforged' missions: Stratholme, Dalaran and The Sunwell. These three were also my favourites, mainly because they were new and fresh.

    That feeling I had at those three missions is something that is missing during all the other missions. I've already played through those various times and if I wanted to, I could've gone through the same experience with a fancy modpack. There are plenty of mods that alter the game just as much as Warcraft 3 reforged does.

    It is a shame, really. I had such high hopes for the reforged aspect of this game. I didn't really need or want deep lore retcons (never said anything about this on official forums either), but I enjoyed the idea of minor changes and additions. I mean, why would someone complain about an extra mission that fleshed out Jaina/ Sylvanas a bit more.

    Maybe Blizzard will still add some things (hopefully), to undo the damage they've done so far. Blizzard has stated before that they decided not to alter anything based on the response of diehard fans, but this was 2 months before release. I am not sure whether or not they said this because they ran out of time and they decided that the diehards were easy scapegoats or that they legitimately thought it would be better to leave things as they were.

    As I've mentioned before, the game still feels like Warcraft 3 and that's why I've decided to keep the score at 60. I'm not going to give the game a 0 rating because I feel betrayed by Blizzard (nothing is worth a 0, just as nothing is worth a 10). I am still going to judge the game for what it is, the game. I've barely had any bugs and I've been playing Warcraft 3 again after quite some time. It's not what we expected and Blizzard certainly didn't keep their promises, but the game is 'ok'. This 'ok' is leaning more towards a mediocre, but I still manage to enjoy it.

    Ignore most of the reviews on here, as most were made by angry fans (which is actually understandable) who feel betrayed. Form your own opinion and let's just hope that Blizzard will not abandon this game and provide us with the necessary updates.    … Expand

    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.
