I encourage blizzard to continue botching everything they touch till they are forced to disband as a company. They deserve the worst when profits are prioritized over the consumer.
Warcraft 3 was and still is one of my most favourite and memorable games, growing up. It is such a shame to see how Activision is butchering Blizzard, one my the most respected game studios (AFAIK). Such a shame!
The game is now playable i think. they improved some areas and the client definitely one of them , i mostly play on old graphics and new ones arent that baaad tho but still . i think next patch will be the turning point as they added tournaments and some cool stuff
I almost bought reforged, for a good 10 years now blizzard had started getting a bad track record, and I'm glad I didn't buy it. I hope they fix this someday as I always wanted to see this in its full glory, new models, redesigned areas etc, I'm stil appalled that this was never finished...
I actually pre-ordered it, but as soon as the reviews came out, I contacted Blizzard demanding a refund based on that information, and because I never downloaded and used it. Customer service said at the time that they could only provide me a partial refund, as the pre-order was bundled with the BlizzCon digital pass, and that refund could only be in Blizzard store credit. I understood about the Battle pass part, but of course when it came to the refund itself I didn't take that lately, so I replied that I would be more than happy to sign a document that would exclude me from the eventual class action settlement if they were to provide me a full financial refund of the game itself. Interestingly, they suddenly had the ability to give me a refund. Not only that, but they also gave me a refund for the battle pass... who knew? They never did ask me to sign that document, though. 🤔
@@TheEDFLegacy Noones breathing down their necks they can do anything they want. Anyway... preorders definitely ruin all games, everyone starts slacking off when money is already reserved on their account awaiting release , best avoid preorders since they rarely give anything good
@@Reknilador Agreed on the latter part. In the case of the former, I'm not so sure; Blizzard staff used to be super helpful, but that situation was like pulling teeth. It wasn't until I even _hinted_ at joining an inevitable class action that they suddenly changed their tune; I didn't mention that until after 3-4 messages in the chain.
I was the same but im kind of a bit confident towards patch 1.33.0 who came out in August, seems to have adressed many issues... I dont care for multiplayer I wanna relive the story, so I might give it a shot soon
I preorderd Warcraft 3 Reforged from the moment they announced it, and if they would have told me "sorry the game will be delayed" I would say "take your time and deliver an amazing game" but what I get on release was straight forward scam and this makes me really sad. I love this game so much, that I'll still buy it once they achieve a state of quality I can live with-.
@@staticvoidmain exactly. Why pick up a broken mess for full price now instead of a partially fixed broken mess, for 50% off in 6 months? And if it's not a broken mess - great! Just buy it the week it was released. It's not like they are going to run out of digital copies!
What we really wanted was only a SLEIGHT update in the model/asset details, with the same base unit models.. Not a complete rework of everything to the point it isn’t immediately recognizable as the same unit, visual unit details are actually changed, and the models/units feel different when you play with them.
Yeah no kidding, Literally the original was way better than the reforged version. Nobody even plays on the updated graphics. Everything they changed they changed for the worse.
@@jimbaker4277 People do that more to make a statement than anything else. It's honestly childish and stupid. The remastered graphics look amazing and bring them up to modern standards (as well as you could with a game from 2003 anyway).
Why does nobody ever talk about the single player campaign where you traveled all over one big map. I can't remember what it was called but I thought it was the best part and it just disappeared.
@@NaysWRLD I don't remember the name. That could be it. It was one big map and you changed characters while doing quests all over it. I think they called it the bonus campaign at one time.
You might have to wait till 2025 before he should be done with it in sc2 if he continues so long He use about 6 months on each campaign 3 right now and 4th comming at dec 3rd i think Worth checking it out at least imo😊
And it's still thriving. Everyone just shrugged, stuck with classic graphics(which you can still play for free), and switched to the new community made ladder, W3Champions, when Blizzard broke the old one. At this point Bliz could abandon the game completely and the custom game and ladder communities would live on uner their own support and power.
Finally, I’m waiting for the Quenching mod to have more updates before I purchase a copy of Reforge. Quenching mod should’ve been the Reforge that we got now. It’s annoying how Blizzard was once one of the best Game Companies and now their ratings gone down pretty hard.
@@mephisto5856 the reason for Blizzard not producing the games they once did is because of Activision, but hopefully that all changes when Microsoft finally acquisition them :)
What I want to know is if the campaign and custom games are in a good state. That's what I always liked about Warcraft 3. I don't play competitive online in strategy games, I get wrecked in the first 5 minutes.
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz I bought a key for the classic version which can still be activated for much cheaper. I don't have access to the new graphics, but everything else works so far.
@@radicalcentrist4990 Even when you buy the reforge model, the skin will revert back to the classic skin on some maps. Some of the glitches I've experiences are in Kodo Tag and TD. Can't point out specifically since it's been a while since i played, but it involves the AI's movement pattern.
@@MrAllmightyCornholioz well I'm probably not gonna buy Reforged ever. Blizzard doesn't deserve money for that shit. The classic key that I bought was from the grey market also. I used to own the disc version of Warcraft 3 a long, long time ago but I didn't properly take care of it.
@@radicalcentrist4990 I agree. After the whole fiasco started, I asked them for a refund. After that, I realized it was free if you owned a copy of the classic WC3. That is some bullshit especially when the game cost $40 for a crappy reskin?
Do NOT compare Warcraft 3: Reforge to Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, the first is a remaster, the latter is a remake/the 5th expansion pack. What you should compare it to is AoE2:HD, which also got mediocre review, but was given expansions that lead to a complete resurrection of the franchise and a growing E-sport scene. Given that development on title this old is very cheap and quick, there’s no reason why Blizzard couldn’t do the same, especially when they have a stronger brand name. If Activision wanted Call of Duty Money, potentially, they lost way more.
As an avid SC2 player, I was disappointed to see some much needed improvements, like scroll lock, entirely absent. The single player campaign is way too easy but it was still worth torrenting
There's a lot to hate about this horrible attempt, and while the graphics themselves are not the primary offender, they also have various flaws. Some of it actually looks pretty good, but on the whole too many things look drab, washed out, and difficult to distinguish compared to the original. Like Breath of the Wild and other "cartoonish" looking games, original WC3 still looks pretty decent even today. It seems like they tried to go for a more realistic art direction for reforged, and the graphics suffered as a result. A lot of the up-close detail looks pretty nice, but as soon as you zoom out to look at a battlefield it completely lacks the punchy, pop-out-at-you style that is a MUST HAVE for controlling units on the battlefield. A large part of that is that shadow work seems pretty terrible. But also team-coloring on many units waaaaay too small.
warcraft III was my childhood, and I was so excited to play it again when I FINALLY got my Game PC last month, I am SO sad this game got remade and the original version cannot be played anymore, because Blizzard was like "snif snif, I smell money!" and made a cashcrab remake and took the old one away from us... ):
I doubt anyone here has more hours on warcraft 3 than me.. Its always been my main game and its just been slowly dying.. It needs to become free to play asap
I've been playing the campaign, it's been great up to the undead mission 3 which is very broken. I have had 6 crashes on it and after defeating sylvanus once she never respawned. Decided to take a break to have a look at custom games, there's only about 15 lobbies mostly less than half players in each. None of the games are decent either.
@@Fuzzatron3000 damn :( Does that affect everyone? I actually ended up getting it and almost right away stumbled upon a loading issue. Nothing game breaking so far, but definitely a glaring QA issue. Hasn't reforged been out for a few years by now?
@@pas0003 Lots of people experience crashing yeah, apparently if you tweak some graphic settings to minimum it may not crash. But I have a 2080 super and it's a beast of a PC, don't want to compromise 🤣 I had great fun up until frozen throne, there was also two undead missions when you attack silvermoon or chase sylvanus in the woods that crashed constantly, had to save every 30 mins and load after every crash to even beat the levels. Frozen throne mission even saving that often didn't help! Just be warned if you're like me and grew up on classic WC3 or you're obsessed with the lore, this sparked my temptation to play WoW again...😅
@@Fuzzatron3000 that's really disappointing, especially considering that original w3 had no issues whatsoever that I ever heard of. Blizzard is going downhill big time ever since they got bought by money hungry Activision... I never played WoW as I'm afraid of getting addicted, but I really do enjoy the lore!
Diablo 2 resurrected was also messed up when they decided to change the character models. They just can’t resist changing things to try and “modernize” them.
I hope whatever Malaysian Studio which is responsible for this Reforged has learned their lesson - hard. So do those arrogant BOSSES in the Game Industry.
okay, I'm old school, dont care much about online I just wanna relive the immersion of the good old 2004 RPG, but I heard so many negative comments about reforged. My question is, after the latest patch (August 18 2022), should I get it ? I've been waiting some time for that
I certainly never asked for re-recorded voice lines. What a waste that would be. Overhauling the UI is far more important. The UI of WCIII was designed for 4:3 screens. Just like Doom it was a giant statusbar taking up the bottom of the screen, effectively making the "game" widescreen. Leaving that same statusbar where it was in the bottom-middle of a widescreen monitor is just plain stupid. It needed to be broken up, but at the very least could have been made vertical for the left side or something.
I never played Starcraft, so I cannot compare them to each other. But the original Warcraft 3 was fun. I enjoyed the SP campaign and I was addicted to MP maps for a while. There were a ton of good ones. I can’t remember all of them as this is like 20 years ago, but Tower Defense and DoTa stand out. There was a horde mode MP map too. Where waves of enemy’s came at your fortress and you could fall back until finally your team was defending a small building. When that fell the game was over. It reminds me of the final battle in LotR The Two Towers.
It's probably worth the 30 bucks asking price for those who can't get their old copies to work and just want to play through the campaigns for nostalgia. Most non-multi-player related issues have been fixed as of me writing this comment.
Blizzard is a classic story of massively incompetent senior executives who refuse to step down and instead either blame mid-level management and entry-level hires, or just outright refuse to accept their own failures and just keep trying to move past them without fixing any of the underlying issues. Blizzard-Activision will either go under or be forced to completely reorganize by shareholders within the next 10 years.
@@PrisonMike196 Dude, nobody who worked on Reforged before is working for Blizzard now. It will never be fixed, not even under Microsoft. Just play a pre-Reforged patch.
I bought it with a huge smile on my face and within a half hour it went into the “ meh, maybe some day I’ll play it again” pile. This is what you get blizzard for selling your soul to the digital devil.
You bought the game, blizzard got what they wanted, your money. Not playing it doesn't hurt them in any way. You should never have bought the game to begin with.
@@mystikast you’re correct an overwhelming sense of potential nostalgia took control of me. Hoping maybe that it would rekindle some far dimmed memories. Alas I sat in the dark
Just bought a pc, use to play on my stepdads and was so excited to buy this then I look it up on YT, Google etc and everythin just says it sucks. was so saddened, I was so excited to bring back some memories
Activision don't care about the players only the money, this is shown through all the games they are now involved with. Hopefully that changes when Microsoft acquisition them, I really hope Microsoft improve alot of their games and remaster them the way they should be and not give it a half arsed effort and make them game worse.
As much as I would love to buy Regorged, I will not until they absolutely fix it. Activision is damaging a brand that was special to many people growing up and I refuse to signal to them that I am okay with it by spending my money.
I enjoyed the game but that is because I never played the original so I can't really feel the same way as everyone else. But by seeing how everyone else is disappointed in it I can tell this was meant to be so much more.
@@cosmicentropy6358 look my guy I enjoyed the game. Compared to other games today yeah it's bad but It don't bother me cause I'm enjoying the game cause I never played it before. So far I didn't run into any problems on my end. And also I been playing story mode so I don't really pay attention to the graphics.
Yet they still want us to rebuy a game we already owned prior to this game being remastered. Even if we preferred the original game. Can't even play my own game now, like wtf blizzard.
Too bad this game will never get a modern game anytime soon,thanks to the remaster version that blizzard made and turn it into a disaster. Blizzard just killed their own franchise.
I never played the original but got the remastered. Once I saw that I could not pause nor save offline matches against AI, I never ended up playing and wish I got the refund. I can't afford to not leave my seat once a match has started lol. Was pausing and saving a feature they forgot or was it never in the original?
I think blizzard have a serial problem with UI teams. look at dragonflight, warcraft 3 reforged etc.... they should hire professional and creative guys to do this job. RIP Blizzard
As someone only grinded RPG or ORPG map with save load mechanic, the graphic of reforged is kinda mehh when comparing to some high quality makes custom maps........ Heck, they even want to claims all the custom maps makes by the community, are they really brain dead I wonder? The map makers struggle to keeps the game survives for more than 10 years, but this reforged become a finishing blow to PURGE all the left over map makers....
Hey guys, I’ve never played a Warcraft game in my life. I was wondering if it would be worth it to get this or not. I have no expectations and no knowledge of the original game. I’d only be playing single player. Thoughts? Like, is it still broken. Should I just get the original.
If you can find an original before reforged get it. It’s a very fun game and personally I have reforged and play custome maps and have a blast with friends we play everyday after work m-f and weekends so many different game modes that come with it is amazing and have yet to find a similar game on the scale of custom maps
this is why i never preorder. i just wait to see if the game is good or bad. if it's bad, im happy i didnt waste my money on it and have to go through the trouble of refunding it. game dev companies dont care about the players anymore. and preordering shit only gives them more reasons to rush to shit out a shitty game.
hold on activison can't tell what blizzard what they can do, that violates their contract since blizzard only team up with them to save activison. i played the game, it doesn't even look like Blizzard art team. too dark in coloring and hyper realistic is not it. i hate how they change thrall, they removed his nose ring and pierced tusks he also never had a topknot he had a mane.
hell it's STILL a glitchy fucking mess. you can't even play the fucking campaign without even having the damn thing crash the game on you between missions!
W3 wasn't the best strategic game of all time, at opposite, it had big balancing problems never solved, the best strategic game of all times is Starcraft, the first one made ofc
I bought a game called War-Ashes, I got addicted to it, when I reached the huge monster in the sixth maze, I didn't find a solution for it. Can you make us a combat video? Half a day passed and I didn't find a weakness for it. The game is on Microsoft Store
It sucked when it first came out. There was no ladder which made it a bunch of games people leaving and no one cared. Units would get stuck all the time and the graphics were trash.
Played Warcraft 3 almost all my life. This shits fine tf r yall on about. Everyone be actin like this is the worst game on planet earth when it functions fine and looks good. So you didnt get remastered cutscenes. And? You love the OG game but are upset you still have the OG cutscenes? Like fr make up your mind allready.
D2R was better compared to WC3 Reforged, but does not mean it was good, D2R still has that amazon tranny, the chinese assassin, the dindu paladin and so on, stiff as shit animation when it should have been better animated, some running and attacks look like shit. played some D2R and then abandoned it.
this game broke my heart
But also the developers too bc they knew they saw the writing on the wall
Why? The graphics and new models look fantastic.
I encourage blizzard to continue botching everything they touch till they are forced to disband as a company. They deserve the worst when profits are prioritized over the consumer.
This is cause of Activision rushing blizzard

But the original Warcraft 3 was fun. I enjoyed the SP campaign and I was addicted to MP maps for a while. There were a ton of good ones. I can’t
remember all of them as this is like 20 years ago, but Tower Defense and DoTa stand out.
There was a horde mode MP map too. Where waves of enemy’s came at your fortress and you could fall back until finally your team was defending a small building. When that fell the game was over.
It reminds me of the final battle in LotR The Two Towers.
@The Cunninlynguist Warcraft 3 was the best and by a large amount , amazing game with the heroes it gave virtually endless replay
It's probably worth the 30 bucks asking price for those who can't get their old copies to work and just want to play through the campaigns for nostalgia. Most non-multi-player related issues have been fixed as of me writing this comment.
Blizzard is a classic story of massively incompetent senior executives who refuse to step down and instead either blame mid-level management and entry-level hires, or just outright refuse to accept their own failures and just keep trying to move past them without fixing any of the underlying issues. Blizzard-Activision will either go under or be forced to completely reorganize by shareholders within the next 10 years.
I don't wanna wait 10 years for Reforged to be fixed...
@@PrisonMike196 I have good news for you: you don't need to wait! Because it will never be fixed.
@@ZackChimento What about Microsoft?
@@PrisonMike196 Dude, nobody who worked on Reforged before is working for Blizzard now. It will never be fixed, not even under Microsoft. Just play a pre-Reforged patch.
@@filthycasual8187 This entire company must be purged.
If you own this game without having ever owning the original it’s a good time. Pretty much it’s only the OG people that are mad
The team working on the game was forced to ship the game early, before it was complete, and then laid off.
I remember a rumor that the game client basically ran in a Chrome window.
I bought it with a huge smile on my face and within a half hour it went into the “ meh, maybe some day I’ll play it again” pile. This is what you get blizzard for selling your soul to the digital devil.
You bought the game, blizzard got what they wanted, your money.
Not playing it doesn't hurt them in any way. You should never have bought the game to begin with.
@@mystikast you’re correct an overwhelming sense of potential nostalgia took control of me. Hoping maybe that it would rekindle some far dimmed memories. Alas I sat in the dark
@@vecistus To be fair, Starcraft Remastered was excellent. I felt for it myself, but got a refund thankfully.
@@TheEDFLegacy part of the reason I bought wc. I really wanted to hear the yes m lord in all of its glory once again.
Just bought a pc, use to play on my stepdads and was so excited to buy this then I look it up on YT, Google etc and everythin just says it sucks. was so saddened, I was so excited to bring back some memories
Activision don't care about the players only the money, this is shown through all the games they are now involved with.
Hopefully that changes when Microsoft acquisition them, I really hope Microsoft improve alot of their games and remaster them the way they should be and not give it a half arsed effort and make them game worse.
hmm i'm looking to get this during the sale for $15 or $20. i liked the original but don't know where my cds are anymore
As much as I would love to buy Regorged, I will not until they absolutely fix it. Activision is damaging a brand that was special to many people growing up and I refuse to signal to them that I am okay with it by spending my money.
I enjoyed the game but that is because I never played the original so I can't really feel the same way as everyone else. But by seeing how everyone else is disappointed in it I can tell this was meant to be so much more.
@@cosmicentropy6358 look my guy I enjoyed the game. Compared to other games today yeah it's bad but It don't bother me cause I'm enjoying the game cause I never played it before. So far I didn't run into any problems on my end. And also I been playing story mode so I don't really pay attention to the graphics.
Yet they still want us to rebuy a game we already owned prior to this game being remastered. Even if we preferred the original game. Can't even play my own game now, like wtf blizzard.
Too bad this game will never get a modern game anytime soon,thanks to the remaster version that blizzard made and turn it into a disaster. Blizzard just killed their own franchise.
You could say that it was a “Blizzaster”
Heck I pre ordered this (not recommended) but I’ve kept it and play since I enjoyed the fresh visuals(ye still got the OG WC3)
To summarise what happened.
Blizzard were too busy harassing women to care
While preaching the woke religion in the same time.
Maybe just maybe, Blizzard Albany might fix this one day. Lets hope so. 🤞
what happened to the old Warcraft 3 TFT?
I never played the original but got the remastered. Once I saw that I could not pause nor save offline matches against AI, I never ended up playing and wish I got the refund. I can't afford to not leave my seat once a match has started lol. Was pausing and saving a feature they forgot or was it never in the original?
I always knew Activision would be the fall of Blizzard. They used to be my favorite company and now I can barely stand them now.
New graphic look bad. In RTS games it is very imported for units to look very clear and make it easy to distinguish one unit from another.
I think blizzard have a serial problem with UI teams. look at dragonflight, warcraft 3 reforged etc.... they should hire professional and creative guys to do this job. RIP Blizzard
As someone only grinded RPG or ORPG map with save load mechanic, the graphic of reforged is kinda mehh when comparing to some high quality makes custom maps........ Heck, they even want to claims all the custom maps makes by the community, are they really brain dead I wonder? The map makers struggle to keeps the game survives for more than 10 years, but this reforged become a finishing blow to PURGE all the left over map makers....
The rexxar campaing still doesnt work... i cant believe i payed money for this
Hey guys, I’ve never played a Warcraft game in my life. I was wondering if it would be worth it to get this or not. I have no expectations and no knowledge of the original game. I’d only be playing single player. Thoughts? Like, is it still broken. Should I just get the original.
If you can find an original before reforged get it. It’s a very fun game and personally I have reforged and play custome maps and have a blast with friends we play everyday after work m-f and weekends so many different game modes that come with it is amazing and have yet to find a similar game on the scale of custom maps
Whats funny is the reforged is great.
Blizzard no longer exists in its pre-EA form. EA killed and consumed it and wears its skin.
this is why i never preorder. i just wait to see if the game is good or bad. if it's bad, im happy i didnt waste my money on it and have to go through the trouble of refunding it. game dev companies dont care about the players anymore. and preordering shit only gives them more reasons to rush to shit out a shitty game.
hold on activison can't tell what blizzard what they can do, that violates their contract since blizzard only team up with them to save activison. i played the game, it doesn't even look like Blizzard art team. too dark in coloring and hyper realistic is not it. i hate how they change thrall, they removed his nose ring and pierced tusks he also never had a topknot he had a mane.
hell it's STILL a glitchy fucking mess. you can't even play the fucking campaign without even having the damn thing crash the game on you between missions!
hey... im enjoying diablo immortal bro lol. I dont see what people see wrong with it. (you had made a comment about it around halfway in)
Activision happened
W3 wasn't the best strategic game of all time, at opposite, it had big balancing problems never solved, the best strategic game of all times is Starcraft, the first one made ofc
I bought a game called War-Ashes, I got addicted to it, when I reached the huge monster in the sixth maze, I didn't find a solution for it. Can you make us a combat video? Half a day passed and I didn't find a weakness for it. The game is on Microsoft Store
lets all agree they have left world of warcraft to rot now with classic
No hate towards classic i get why they did it, but cmon
Still not a bad game don't know why everyone is crying so much.
because if you had even a slightly working brain, you would see that Blizzard flat out scammed people.
It sucked when it first came out. There was no ladder which made it a bunch of games people leaving and no one cared. Units would get stuck all the time and the graphics were trash.
So what went wrong
Even Microsoft released AoE4...
Why NOT Warcraft 4?...
A wishful thinking...
@Hawkknight97
Yeah, unfortunately... since they screwed up with so called '' Reforged ''...
I don't care how bad this remastered game was, I find it neutral, I think.
Played Warcraft 3 almost all my life. This shits fine tf r yall on about. Everyone be actin like this is the worst game on planet earth when it functions fine and looks good.
So you didnt get remastered cutscenes. And? You love the OG game but are upset you still have the OG cutscenes?
Like fr make up your mind allready.
no shadows xD insane
Warcraft sheep tag ❤️
Add Diablo4 to this shlt list!....... Didn't Blizzard hire a 3rd party company to do a lot of the D2R development?
Too busy doing cube crawls
The video was great.😁
Hi
"The biggest blemish of them all was Warcraft 3" ah yes, definitely that and not the sexual harassment stuff pfft
Correct. For video game company their customers care more about putting out a good game than snide comments
Alleged sexual harassment.
Warcraft 2 on ps1 was better
انا اكتر لعبه بلعبها
First 😆
D2R was better compared to WC3 Reforged, but does not mean it was good, D2R still has that amazon tranny, the chinese assassin, the dindu paladin and so on, stiff as shit animation when it should have been better animated, some running and attacks look like shit. played some D2R and then abandoned it.
