@@ChrisCrosswow Read the books and play old warcraft lol. He was impatient, egoistic and disrespectful. I actually liked him after he became a bad guy more. He was insufferable before.
I would love a graphic update of the original but I didn't want them to make the game litteraly unplayable. And putting a high price on it is just insane.
Truth be told, a lot of the models WOULD look a lot better if the game actually had proper lighting to compliment their design. Case and point, check out the Warcraft Reforged in Unreal Engine videos, where a guy added some of the models into that engine. They look exceptionally good there. However, the big lack of animations (especially portrait ones) really pull things back. Had they made the game on a completely new engine, they would've had far less restrictions, quite possibly far less bugs and would also look over all a lot better. The only con would be a lack of cross-play, but nobody asked for that to begin with and older maps for the most part break or look terrible in Reforged, so it's a waste there too
The death of the modding scene is the saddest part to me. There were so many treasures on there that are just completely gone because Blizzard just had to force a half-assed re-release with a horrible terms of agreement. It's honestly a tragedy.
The realization that the concept of DOTA didn't belong to Blizzard, but the creative minds who made it (Icefrog) had them throw a temper tantrum and corrupt themselves. Dude, it's actually so insane. Imagine if I created an art piece in Photoshop and suddenly Adobe comes and says "but but but you used MY TOOL TO DO IT! THIS IS MINE NOW!!!! MIIIIINE"
@@ThornskadeThat's bullshit. Blizzard is a joke of a company now, but let's not lie and let's not pretend that Valve didn't outright steal Blizzard's intellectual property and get away with it. I'm talking about Warcraft 3 assets like hero models and lore which were made by Blizzard, and not by Icefrog. Dota 2 blatantly rips off WC3 models and concepts. It's even less subtle than these shitty mobile games that rip off classics to catch your eye in the app stores. Blizzard never claimed to own the concept behind DotA - did they ever sue League of Legends? No. Valve could have developed their own aesthetic, come up with their own heroes and leave the same design created by Icefrog and other modders and it would've been fine. But no, they went so far as to purposefully emulate quirks of WC3 engine to make DotA 2 more similar to the original. There's no way in which this isn't complete scumbaggery.
@@zlosliwa_menda Lol, do you know how many games ripped off the original Doom in that exact same way? Code is not protected by IP laws in this sense. This is not scumbaggery and if it were it would really stifle the industry.
It is called "false advertising", it is when a salesman lies about the product in order to sell more. It is normaly illegal, but todays legalsystem hasn't figured out what the internet is yet.
I know right, I 100% blame the legal system because when there’s an unethical way of getting rich it’s guaranteed that there’s someone exploiting it. The legal system is slow as molasses, or someone is taking kickbacks.
I have to disagree. The legal system is in place and is being used for this type of false advertising. Who will bring a suit? Is there a disclaimer in the products Terms of Service? Is there a forum selection clause that brings it to a court where this type of litigation is likely to lose. These are the questions that need to be asked.
nonoo you dont understand. there are people, who have to be able to explain, that THEY DESERVE that money forthe creation of 4+ hours of new cutscenes AND THAN they wont do it.
Meanwhile on Pirate bay: GLORIOUS OG Warcraft 3 Complete edition with thousands of working maps. YEah ... Blizzard literally put a product that infinitely worse than actual pirated game from almost 2 decades ago!!!
I feel bad for the Warcraft multiplayer scene, those guys played the game for a decade and that's how Blizzard thanks their support. I thought about downloading the "shareware" version to see what's up with it, but after some thinking I realized it's not even worth the time.
It's such a shocking level of disregard and indifference, toward a game which has specifically created a lot of wealth and goodwill toward Blizzard in particular. They honored SC1 to an extreme degree with HD, probably one of the most faithful remakes I've ever seen aside from Spyro Trilogy or Crash. But this game doesn't deserve that apparently. There was nobody left at Blizzard itself who even cared enough to render some faithful decent looking character models in their FREE TIME? Fans would do this work FREE OF CHARGE for each other but Billionaire Blizzard can't spend some of that WoW money to do some in-house work, instead they add fucking mecha-gnomes to WoW, what a bunch of morons.
@@James11111 No doubt the original WC3 is still one of the best games of all time. But I would advise anyone who's interested to not buy in on Battlenet. The team that made the game is gone anyway so there's no point in giving money to Lizzard.
Yeah it has that modern, yet cheap touch. Like graphics that would maybe look great for Blizzard pre-2010, because this shit looks worse than StarCraft 2
"Somewhere in the Arathi Highlands, Thrall, the young warchief of the orcish Horde, wakes from his troubling dream." "Then he went back to sleep." DEFEAT!
i started playing wow about 1.5 years ago, althrough it was on private server. Legion was the first server i played for couple of months untill i switched to wotlk. And to this day, wrath is still the best game i've ever played even though i didn't play it in it's retail games. So no, it's not really nostalgia at all... Legion wasn't bad, it had plenty of features, it just didn't have 'soul' as older ones did
Only if you're focused on AAA companies like Blizzard and Bethesda. Money corrupted them like the Helm of Domination. If you want to play fresh and good games, you'll have to look for other companies like CD Project, which so far despite their success still deliver great games, or even better look for smaller so called indie developer. Expect simpler graphics like in the original WC3 with Gameplay that is actually worth playing.
I think that's what happened to the Prince of Persia games and they ran fine on current gen. Literally all Warcraft needed was a facelift and they had some other company do it and blizzard took the credit for it.
Most of their games have that polish. That makes this disaster even more surprising cuz they did polish before and they were succusful when the game came out. They deserve the low scores it got and the outrage. Edit. Took out recent
@@magicmanscott40k recent games? could you kindly explain me your definition of recent? Overwatch came out 4 years ago and last version update if im correct was like 10 months ago. even though it is polished game it isn't BY ANY MEANS recent game lmao
madeitsupreme_ its not like blizzard comes out with a new game every year. Calling overwatch recent is still fine because its pretty much one of the newest gamed they made compared to other companies that keep coming with new games every year
Old Blizzard is absolutely responsible for Warcraft III Reforged and all the controversy of the Blizzard of today, they sold their soul, their essence and their customers to Activision... all for money... Blizzard was just as greedy as any other gaming company... but much like Apple, they made you feel like they cared for you...
League Skin Music "they sold their soul, their essence and their customers to Activision..." Or, y'know, Activision went to their parent company and made a deal with _them,_ forcing Blizzard to be merged with them against their(the workers at Blizzard's) will. I literally did a 30 second search of "Activision Blizzard history" and found that out.
3:12 "When the art was so...low quality..." Excuse me? I loved the old art style. It has its own flavor. The current art style is a lifeless copy of the graphics other games have. Can't believe I'll say this because I've always been a Blizzard fan since the 90s, but Blizzard sucks so bad!!!
I mean sure, the original graphics are dated, but you shouldn't legally be allowed to call them low quality when Reforged looks like a mobile game and a sketchy MMO banner ad had a lovechild in the uncanny valley
@Vasian Vasianich "They're better than the SC2 ones." Two issues with that sentence A.Considering the differences in the lighting's quality (and a few animations), it's questionable. B.They better be a whole league above a game that originally came out almost 8 years ago. They're not.
@Drake ICN It is amazing. It always fascinates me how passionate modders and creators are rarely ever approached. Bethesda (Fallout/Elder Scrolls), Blizzard, Creative Assembly (Total War) could profit massively from hiring some of the most incredible modders in their game communities. Story or functionality-wise. What the hell is going on? Do they hate money? or have no vision?
They dont want to jepordize their partnership with China. Blizzard has officially turned evil, and Im not even trying to sound melodramatic or funny. They literally have sacreficed the freedom and democracy of others in order to gain profit. You think im exaggerating? This is exactly how China operates when they fund nations around the world (especially in Africa and Latin America), they fund your infrastructure, but in return you are expected to comply with CCP policies, which includes renouncing Taiwan and HK, until these two no longer have any friends or allies to stop China from taking them over. Blizzard, you are not just greedy, you are evil.
fucking blizzard, i am chinese, but why banned taiwan as word, they are customer too! And fucking game should never involved anything about politics. Shame on them.
@@fredrikengstrom2107 Chinese here, don't blame us for things that blizzard did to themselves. Taiwan isn't a banned word in China so this is blizzard being a dumbass.
3:25 "You really didn't know what was happening a lot of the time." Yo, WC3 was one of the most readable RTS games due to that aesthetic and the vivid colors on the units
I couldn't tell what was going on most of the time unless I played elves. I play a lot to rts, even the older ones and I found all of them easier to tell what's going on. One thing I'll give Warcraft is it defiantly had the best story mode of any rts I played. Well it used to.
considering that they also fucks the classic edition it's more like ordering Mercedes, turned into wheelchair, and then realized that your current rides is downgraded into 1:32 bicycle toy
You hear about this awesome, 67 corvette or some shit. All these amazing features, totally modernized interior with leather seats. Backup camera, XM radio, bluetooth, and yet it's a 67 corvette! Then you get a car with rust all over it. The wheels are about to bust off. The brake pads are grinding on day one. It feels like it hasn't been driven since 1968. All of those modern features are nowhere to be found, although at least it has an aux port. The leather is cracked, old, or gone altogether. What does the salesman tell you? "But look at the beautiful paint job! It's brand new! $30,000 is such a steal!" And the dealership didn't even do the paintjob, they bought it like that.
@@arawn1061 How do China force them to remove an English line? If the Chinese locolizer doesn't like a voice line, they simply dub it into something else.

If your game is interesting and good, there is always the chance of a youtuber picking it up to film and bringing attention. look at doki doki literature club, the game is done on a bare bones engine but was one of the biggest games of 2017 and had really creative moments of ingenuousness by the devs.

The funniest part to me of all this: I was in the deep throes of hate for Blizzard in 2018 as I was still playing BFA and disgusted at the disappointment I felt for it. When I saw W3 Reforged stratholm cutscene, I knew that the final game wouldn't look like that. Blizzard didn't let my expectations down this time, finally. I was on the winning side of history and did not invest any money whatsoever into this disgrace.
BFA was a disgusting turd, especially when things were looking up with Legion. Then Blizzard pulled this shit. Then they banned a friend of mine on bullshit charges of using a "dll injector" because of a Warden false positive (he apparently had an unofficial launcher for Blade and Soul running that a lot of people use due to technical issues with the official one). Then they stonewalled him and upheld that bullshit ban. Then they threatened to close his account if he kept appeaing. That was it for me.
Blizzard: Activision... It can't be Activision: I've returned to bring your devs back into the fold. Though you failed the shareholders before, you will now serve us once again. Blizzard: No... we are free! Activision: Stupid, pitiful creature. I am the greed in your heart. I am the avarice of your thoughts. I alone empowered you to bring disappointment to this world, and by the endless unsustainable growth, you shall!
This is the excuse i hear the most: It's not Blizzard, it's all Activisions fault. Are you guys really sure about that? Any insider information to support this claim? People act like a PUBLISHER is calling ALL the shots at Blizzard, wich is ridiculous.
Peon: Ready to work. 2002: Warcraft 3, Best RTS game of the century. 2020: Warcraft 3 Reforged, best meme of the century. Peasant: That's it, I'm dead.
It was more because ever since they partnered with Activision we've had: WoW: BFA (Sorry) Diablo Immortal (We screwed up, we will be better) Hong Kong scandal (It wont happen again, just give us one more chance!) Warcraft Reforgd (Thats it, Im dead). Lmao, yep Blizzard, three strikes youre out.
unknowning unknown matter of opinion. While I respect AoE, it didn’t even come close to what War3 accomplished for the video game industry. RoC and TFT are absolute masterpieces
I still find it annoying that people keep saying Blizzard. Blizzard died years ago. Everything from then on is Activision and I hate how easily it is for them to hide their brand name behind another.

@@b.d.a.8719 I think it makes perfect sense, no one in the MMO world right now says WoW is the best MMO anymore or deserves the top spot for most played MMO. So why is it making so much money? Nostalgia and the fact people invested for a decade or more on that one game, they don't want to switch and feel they have to stick with it. Legacy and name go a long way, look at Pokemon, their recent games are regarded by most as their worst mainline entries since quite some time, yet it's sold like hotcakes simply because it's Pokemon. Same with Blizzard games. People simply don't wanna admit their childhood turned to shit.
@@b.d.a.8719 activision-blizz is the opposite of capitalism. The entire video game and entertainment industry is a federally controlled monopoly. Companies only get big and rich because of lack of competition that would take their revenue with a better product.

Blizzard is sadly already gone. Bethesda will sign its oficial death when they fuck up TS. Worst part is that people who fucked up this companies did it willingly and already got their money.
I genuinely had a heartfelt moment throughout this, it was like experiencing the cycles of death: grief, rage, despair, and then finally acceptance. As a person who played wc3 ever since I was a child, experiencing the campaign and became genuinely immersed into the world and lore, then entered the DOTA and custom games and sank hours upon hours - then playing starcraft then diablo then World of Warcraft. My entire childhood had blizzard games in it. Now seeing all the train wrecks, is like seeing a best friend hitting hard times and crashing even further. It's finally dead. Only it's rotting corpse is being beaten and its memory humiliated so Activison can try to get as many eyes they can get while Blizzard's decomposing corpse still has meat on its bones. But at least we can all finally have a peace of mind, knowing our old friend has finally died. Though his body is being desecrated, we know his soul lives on - painlessly and free. Fuck this gay earth.
Everybody's making fun of wc3 reforged but really, as people like me who spend a huge amount of time of their childhood playing with friends and random strangers, enjoying the amazing story and incredible custom games, I'm deeply sadden and heartbroken by it
I also played warcraft 3 long ago before my pc goes formatted for nth time(just before 2010) where in 2010, I started new life where I make a Mega-crossover project that mixes everything(with some exceptions) with a twist: inclusion of RL conspiracy theories(or at least so-called ones) to make it's scifi and supernatural elements authentic among other things. And the disaster of Warcraft 3 reforged makes me secured Pirated copy of Warcraft 3 to my pc to play it once more(without worrying over update into reforged)
lol do you know what people said to me on blizzard forums, some say "Why do you care if blizzard own the maps. They have the right to own it." and I was like b*tch for real? That's why I only will re-edit the campaign maps and melee maps for fun but they didn't add the custom campaign and singleplayer custom maps that you can play with the AI with cheats or no cheats.
"you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title, and interest in and to all Custom Games, including but not limited to any copyrights in the content of any Custom Games. If for any reason you are prevented or restricted from assigning any rights in the Custom Games to Blizzard, you grant to Blizzard an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, unconditional, royalty free, irrevocable license enabling Blizzard to fully exploit the Custom Games (or any component thereof) for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever." Its absolutely absurd, they could not stop at protecting their own assets and taking a licensing agreement for any created maps. :/
People like you are hilariously misinformed. The map editor has always stated that anything you make belongs to them. That was their entire case when Valve was making Dota 2, though they decided to settle out of court. There are some valid complaints with the game, but this here is just reaching, people with terrible memories, or just bandwagoning.
No, it is however when the studio is no longer owned by someone who knows the subjects in question, does not have an adequate grasp on reality to make a real assessment (employ someone to do that for them- then listen to them) to determine how much time is required for development. When the ownership no longer cares about quality in the pursuing vestment of wealth, no longer or never cared about those who would or could have derived enjoyment from the product... Is an utter disgrace to constructive progress.
It is if they are publicly traded, or are willing sell out. Publishers don't make games, they aquire studios and then suck the blood out of them until there is nothing left.
@@Marinealver Yeah I thought EA ruined Red Alert 3. But not to think RA3 was absolute classic compared to this. At least it was playable, and fun. It felt like they actually put some hard work to make the game. But Reforged feels like, I don't know just, they just copied some models and pasted into game without even checking the bugs. Felt like they didn't even tried to play themselves.
What angered me most is that they just retextured most things and called it a day. Animation in this game are till locked at ambysmal 30fps and even 15 at some points. Unacceptable in this age.
Nekoni writes a perfect comment. "This video started funny - - - and finally, heartbreaking." - I couldn't have said it better. It feels beyond crushing.

The fact that literally *any* hero that is in HoTS and in reforged always look better in HoTS is sad. The models look better in a sort of knockoff than they do in the *actual game.* it was ok for them to be better than the original WC3 because that was made literally 17 years ago, but suddenly this 6 year old game has better models than this new release that is supposed to be where the *ORIGINAL MODELS COME FROM.*

Story time: I was one of those idiots to pre-order Warcraft III: Reforged, and bear in mind: I've NEVER pre-ordered any games other than this on. Ever. Hell, the reason I caved this time wasn't even to get Warcraft III: Reforged - and I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this when discussing how much of a disaster this was. I pre-ordered so that I could gain access to the original version of Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne (as is STILL advertised on the site, by the way) because I had never played them before, nor any RTS really, because Blizzard had made it impossible for you to buy the stand-alone version so they could repackage it as a temporary pre-order bonus for buying Reforged. Because I thought, that at the very LEAST, if Reforged ended up sucking, I could still go back to the original game and play it as it was. That's all I really wanted from the start. And we all know what happened next: Classic client is gone, your 20-year-old physical version is now useless, Reforged is a complete disaster outsourced to a different country, and worse yet: they still, even after all of this, plan on making more remasters in the same vein as Reforged. Even people who PIRATED THE GAME somehow got fucked over; I didn't even know that was possible. Needless to say, I refunded the game immediately because I was lucky enough to have not played the game whatsoever, otherwise I wouldn't have been eligible for one. Unfortunately it's all in Blizzard Balance now, and I'm scared shitless to use it on anything like Diablo II, Starcraft, or...anything on there really. Especially because they're already set to repeat this same mistake for Overwatch 2, and that's got nowhere near the amount of acclaim and goodwill Warcraft III had, so who's to say all of their games won't eventually be ruined? So why even bother playing them? Never again. Fuck Blizzard.
OW is run by completely different people I believe. I'm thinking they will make better decisions. The OW2 highlight reel showed a bunch of RPG talent mechanics which makes me think it's not gonna be a PvP centric experience. I'm hoping it's going to be more of a coop game in the vein of L4D and Vermintide. I'd get that in a heartbeat honestly xD But ye, I feel like they remastered SC1 and some idiot official was like. "Hey, I got a great idea. We got all these other games too right? Let's remake ALL OF THEM!!" "GENIUS!!" What they fail to realize tho is that WC3 was fine. Perfect even. Why remake the campaigns at all? If their plan was to rekindle the WC3 eSport then I guess polishing it up to bring a bunch of attention to the game kinda makes sense. But SC1 really benefits from all the graphical upgrades and the big widescreen views that you can now do in eSport events. WC3 had no such limitations to begin with. Also the WC3 eSport is not nearly as big as SC1. So it doesn't really align. What worked for SC1 just did not make sense for WC3 imo. I feel like they should have just made WC4 xD Use the SC2 engine, use all the WC assets floating around in the moding community. Patch together some of the countless WoW stories and turn them into a few campaigns. Did you guys see the Alterac Map in Heroes of the Storm? The Horde and Alliance Forts look amazing. Just use that dammit! I hope they won't make the same mistakes with the Diablo remake. All we need is accessibility. No body wants a bottom to top remake.
@G C What's wrong with supporting china? hmm let's see: Social Credit score, Communism, the CCP (now somehow scarier than the KGB), zero freedom of speech, a xenophobic culture that is on it's 3rd or 4th genocide, mass censorship, 24/7 survelliance with ai assisted facial recognition tied to one of the most invasive databases ever, zero privacy (can't even poop without the cameras watching), no freedom, laws that only benefit the state, police that know more about you than you know about yourself, terrible working conditions and worker rights, a society that looks like it was ripped from George Orwell's 1984 dystopian sci fi novel. Need I go on?
G C I'm not an us citizen nor do i live there. It's certainly corrupt to a degree, has racial issues, some surveillance and questionable working conditions. Still it's nowhere near China, where corruption might as well be taught in school for how widespread it is, if only teachers were allowed to teach the truth instead of government-approved patriotic bs and lies. (I should know, I met a former chinese teacher) And sure, even France chooses what is taught in school, but teachers aren't banned from talking about certain subjects. And it's not like you'll be able to find more about it online with all the censorship there is. Sure there are countries who spy on their citizens, but not like that, not like China does. It truly is a totalitarian regime who actually committed genocide and oppressed neighboring countries. Comparing that to the US would be like comparing a tank to a machine gun in terms of military power. They are both dangerous, but the tank is way scarier.
Also, saying "but this country is no better" is such a non-argument that you might as well say "but the other kids do it". And assuming that the problem we have with China is due to xenophobia or racism is offensive and, frankly, quite ironic. But the topic isn't china or the us, it's war3 reforged being bad and the link with blizzard selling out for their chinese investors. My only problem is pandering to another country for money, especially on the topic of Taiwan.
watching the old employees speak at the end after the activision merge and hearing metzen's voice almost break when he said what the blizzard logo meant to him is absolutely heartbreaking

I don't know a lot about Warcraft but even I can tell something's wrong when I have a hard time working out whether the footage is from 2002 or 2020
The original had more cartoon graphics and the new one likes something out of a nightmare.
Truth be told, a lot of the models WOULD look a lot better if the game actually had proper lighting to compliment their design. Case and point, check out the Warcraft Reforged in Unreal Engine videos, where a guy added some of the models into that engine. They look exceptionally good there. However, the big lack of animations (especially portrait ones) really pull things back. Had they made the game on a completely new engine, they would've had far less restrictions, quite possibly far less bugs and would also look over all a lot better. The only con would be a lack of cross-play, but nobody asked for that to begin with and older maps for the most part break or look terrible in Reforged, so it's a waste there too

The death of the modding scene is the saddest part to me. There were so many treasures on there that are just completely gone because Blizzard just had to force a half-assed re-release with a horrible terms of agreement. It's honestly a tragedy.
The realization that the concept of DOTA didn't belong to Blizzard, but the creative minds who made it (Icefrog) had them throw a temper tantrum and corrupt themselves.
Dude, it's actually so insane. Imagine if I created an art piece in Photoshop and suddenly Adobe comes and says "but but but you used MY TOOL TO DO IT! THIS IS MINE NOW!!!! MIIIIINE"
the terms of agreement are void, so no harm done there. blizzard must be destroyed.
It's the reason Blizzard forces everyone's legal copies of Warcraft 3 into reforged
@@ThornskadeThat's bullshit. Blizzard is a joke of a company now, but let's not lie and let's not pretend that Valve didn't outright steal Blizzard's intellectual property and get away with it. I'm talking about Warcraft 3 assets like hero models and lore which were made by Blizzard, and not by Icefrog. Dota 2 blatantly rips off WC3 models and concepts. It's even less subtle than these shitty mobile games that rip off classics to catch your eye in the app stores. Blizzard never claimed to own the concept behind DotA - did they ever sue League of Legends? No. Valve could have developed their own aesthetic, come up with their own heroes and leave the same design created by Icefrog and other modders and it would've been fine. But no, they went so far as to purposefully emulate quirks of WC3 engine to make DotA 2 more similar to the original. There's no way in which this isn't complete scumbaggery.
@@zlosliwa_menda Lol, do you know how many games ripped off the original Doom in that exact same way? Code is not protected by IP laws in this sense. This is not scumbaggery and if it were it would really stifle the industry.
It is called "false advertising", it is when a salesman lies about the product in order to sell more.
It is normaly illegal, but todays legalsystem hasn't figured out what the internet is yet.
I know right, I 100% blame the legal system because when there’s an unethical way of getting rich it’s guaranteed that there’s someone exploiting it. The legal system is slow as molasses, or someone is taking kickbacks.
Advertising whitout the lies is called "information".
I have to disagree. The legal system is in place and is being used for this type of false advertising. Who will bring a suit? Is there a disclaimer in the products Terms of Service? Is there a forum selection clause that brings it to a court where this type of litigation is likely to lose. These are the questions that need to be asked.

I thought about downloading the "shareware" version to see what's up with it, but after some thinking I realized it's not even worth the time.
The original game is definitely worth the time. Just don't connect it to the online services.
It's such a shocking level of disregard and indifference, toward a game which has specifically created a lot of wealth and goodwill toward Blizzard in particular. They honored SC1 to an extreme degree with HD, probably one of the most faithful remakes I've ever seen aside from Spyro Trilogy or Crash. But this game doesn't deserve that apparently. There was nobody left at Blizzard itself who even cared enough to render some faithful decent looking character models in their FREE TIME? Fans would do this work FREE OF CHARGE for each other but Billionaire Blizzard can't spend some of that WoW money to do some in-house work, instead they add fucking mecha-gnomes to WoW, what a bunch of morons.

No doubt the original WC3 is still one of the best games of all time. But I would advise anyone who's interested to not buy in on Battlenet. The team that made the game is gone anyway so there's no point in giving money to Lizzard.

BFA was a disgusting turd, especially when things were looking up with Legion. Then Blizzard pulled this shit. Then they banned a friend of mine on bullshit charges of using a "dll injector" because of a Warden false positive (he apparently had an unofficial launcher for Blade and Soul running that a lot of people use due to technical issues with the official one). Then they stonewalled him and upheld that bullshit ban. Then they threatened to close his account if he kept appeaing. That was it for me.

They want to emulate the sports game/ FPS mode.Rehash the same game every year and make hundreds of millions.This process can't really be applied to other types of games..hence the rise of these abominations.

"I'll always trust the three B's: Bethesda, Bioware, and Blizzard!"
A quote that never stops giving!
BEE'S...... BEE'S NEVER CHANGES
BA
Triple aaas got tripple bs for triple bullshit
Blizzard is sadly already gone. Bethesda will sign its oficial death when they fuck up TS. Worst part is that people who fucked up this companies did it willingly and already got their money.
I genuinely had a heartfelt moment throughout this, it was like experiencing the cycles of death: grief, rage, despair, and then finally acceptance. As a person who played wc3 ever since I was a child, experiencing the campaign and became genuinely immersed into the world and lore, then entered the DOTA and custom games and sank hours upon hours - then playing starcraft then diablo then World of Warcraft. My entire childhood had blizzard games in it.
Now seeing all the train wrecks, is like seeing a best friend hitting hard times and crashing even further. It's finally dead. Only it's rotting corpse is being beaten and its memory humiliated so Activison can try to get as many eyes they can get while Blizzard's decomposing corpse still has meat on its bones. But at least we can all finally have a peace of mind, knowing our old friend has finally died. Though his body is being desecrated, we know his soul lives on - painlessly and free.
Fuck this gay earth.
Yeah, those very last few seconds perfectly delivered a nonchalant "acceptance" vibe.

If you didn't put the last sentence into your comment I'd have liked it.
Blizzard: How to waste everyone's time with a remake of a game that was perfectly fine and using that as an excuse to not make warcraft 4. YAY!
Everybody's making fun of wc3 reforged but really, as people like me who spend a huge amount of time of their childhood playing with friends and random strangers, enjoying the amazing story and incredible custom games, I'm deeply sadden and heartbroken by it
I also played warcraft 3 long ago before my pc goes formatted for nth time(just before 2010) where in 2010, I started new life where I make a Mega-crossover project that mixes everything(with some exceptions) with a twist: inclusion of RL conspiracy theories(or at least so-called ones) to make it's scifi and supernatural elements authentic among other things.
And the disaster of Warcraft 3 reforged makes me secured Pirated copy of Warcraft 3 to my pc to play it once more(without worrying over update into reforged)
lol do you know what people said to me on blizzard forums, some say "Why do you care if blizzard own the maps. They have the right to own it." and I was like b*tch for real? That's why I only will re-edit the campaign maps and melee maps for fun but they didn't add the custom campaign and singleplayer custom maps that you can play with the AI with cheats or no cheats.
"you hereby assign to Blizzard all of your rights, title, and interest in and to all Custom Games, including but not limited to any copyrights in the content of any Custom Games. If for any reason you are prevented or restricted from assigning any rights in the Custom Games to Blizzard, you grant to Blizzard an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, unconditional, royalty free, irrevocable license enabling Blizzard to fully exploit the Custom Games (or any component thereof) for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever."
Its absolutely absurd, they could not stop at protecting their own assets and taking a licensing agreement for any created maps. :/
One of the many reasons why I don't feel bad for blizz's fans. They made this monster.
People like you are hilariously misinformed. The map editor has always stated that anything you make belongs to them. That was their entire case when Valve was making Dota 2, though they decided to settle out of court. There are some valid complaints with the game, but this here is just reaching, people with terrible memories, or just bandwagoning.
I sometimes wonder whether this is inevitable for every game studio after they hit a certain level of success.
No, it is however when the studio is no longer owned by someone who knows the subjects in question, does not have an adequate grasp on reality to make a real assessment (employ someone to do that for them- then listen to them) to determine how much time is required for development. When the ownership no longer cares about quality in the pursuing vestment of wealth, no longer or never cared about those who would or could have derived enjoyment from the product... Is an utter disgrace to constructive progress.
It is if they are publicly traded, or are willing sell out.
Publishers don't make games, they aquire studios and then suck the blood out of them until there is nothing left.
Wouldn't expect anything less from Blizzard these days
Now worse than EA has ever been.
@@Marinealver Yeah I thought EA ruined Red Alert 3. But not to think RA3 was absolute classic compared to this. At least it was playable, and fun. It felt like they actually put some hard work to make the game. But Reforged feels like, I don't know just, they just copied some models and pasted into game without even checking the bugs. Felt like they didn't even tried to play themselves.

And now Diablo II Resurrected trailer has been released.
Nekoni writes a perfect comment. "This video started funny - - - and finally, heartbreaking." -
I couldn't have said it better. It feels beyond crushing. My first tear was shed when the crown bounces down the steps with the WC3 logo on it. I dunno what to say man. I'm so ashamed of Blizzard and their performance the past couple years. Really really bad man
In retrospect, WotLK was a fitting end to the glory days of Blizzard.
Nah, they made a lot of good stuff after that.
@@Tom-hc1ql I think LotV campaign sucked ass, I think the multiplayer in SC2 is the best it's ever been. The pro matches are the best they've ever been too. When Serral won WCS almost every game of the entire BlizzCon part was amazing. But yes I do agree Blizzard has not made anything good in a long time.
WotLK was literally the point where WoW became garbage, people only sperg out about it cus MUH ARTHAS
@ivo georgiev Legion was actually really good. And I say this as someone who started in Burning Crusade and played the most seriously during Wrath.
@@NGRevenant it was the most played expac in wow history. The tip of the spear.

Another reminder that waiting for reviews is never wrong. Only 5 minutes into your video. Great editing so far!
The fact that literally *any* hero that is in HoTS and in reforged always look better in HoTS is sad. The models look better in a sort of knockoff than they do in the *actual game.* it was ok for them to be better than the original WC3 because that was made literally 17 years ago, but suddenly this 6 year old game has better models than this new release that is supposed to be where the *ORIGINAL MODELS COME FROM.*
Imagine a band where all original members have been replaced... it still have the same name, but why is the music so different?

Uther: I'm surprised you kept things together as long as you did, lad.
Arthas: *Fades out of existence.*
Arthas: *dies of cringe*
Just made me remember how amazing the old cinematics were for their time
Story time: I was one of those idiots to pre-order Warcraft III: Reforged, and bear in mind: I've NEVER pre-ordered any games other than this on. Ever. Hell, the reason I caved this time wasn't even to get Warcraft III: Reforged - and I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this when discussing how much of a disaster this was. I pre-ordered so that I could gain access to the original version of Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne (as is STILL advertised on the site, by the way) because I had never played them before, nor any RTS really, because Blizzard had made it impossible for you to buy the stand-alone version so they could repackage it as a temporary pre-order bonus for buying Reforged.
Because I thought, that at the very LEAST, if Reforged ended up sucking, I could still go back to the original game and play it as it was. That's all I really wanted from the start.
And we all know what happened next: Classic client is gone, your 20-year-old physical version is now useless, Reforged is a complete disaster outsourced to a different country, and worse yet: they still, even after all of this, plan on making more remasters in the same vein as Reforged.
Even people who PIRATED THE GAME somehow got fucked over; I didn't even know that was possible.
Needless to say, I refunded the game immediately because I was lucky enough to have not played the game whatsoever, otherwise I wouldn't have been eligible for one. Unfortunately it's all in Blizzard Balance now, and I'm scared shitless to use it on anything like Diablo II, Starcraft, or...anything on there really. Especially because they're already set to repeat this same mistake for Overwatch 2, and that's got nowhere near the amount of acclaim and goodwill Warcraft III had, so who's to say all of their games won't eventually be ruined? So why even bother playing them?
Never again. Fuck Blizzard.
How did even people who pirated get fucked?
I still have the original with the 1.30 update. Every time I start the game, a massage pop-up to install the new updates, I will always refuse.
OW is run by completely different people I believe.
I'm thinking they will make better decisions.
The OW2 highlight reel showed a bunch of RPG talent mechanics which makes me think it's not gonna be a PvP centric experience.
I'm hoping it's going to be more of a coop game in the vein of L4D and Vermintide.
I'd get that in a heartbeat honestly xD
But ye, I feel like they remastered SC1 and some idiot official was like.
"Hey, I got a great idea. We got all these other games too right? Let's remake ALL OF THEM!!"
"GENIUS!!"
What they fail to realize tho is that WC3 was fine. Perfect even. Why remake the campaigns at all?
If their plan was to rekindle the WC3 eSport then I guess polishing it up to bring a bunch of attention to the game kinda makes sense.
But SC1 really benefits from all the graphical upgrades and the big widescreen views that you can now do in eSport events. WC3 had no such limitations to begin with. Also the WC3 eSport is not nearly as big as SC1. So it doesn't really align.
What worked for SC1 just did not make sense for WC3 imo. I feel like they should have just made WC4 xD
Use the SC2 engine, use all the WC assets floating around in the moding community. Patch together some of the countless WoW stories and turn them into a few campaigns.
Did you guys see the Alterac Map in Heroes of the Storm? The Horde and Alliance Forts look amazing. Just use that dammit!
I hope they won't make the same mistakes with the Diablo remake. All we need is accessibility.
No body wants a bottom to top remake.

"China Numba 1" i sleep
"Taiwan Number 1" R E A L S H I T
In case you haven't realized, the Chinese version of this "reforge" has tons of ridiculous subtitle mistakes.
They sucked in 2011 too
@G C What's wrong with supporting china? hmm let's see: Social Credit score, Communism, the CCP (now somehow scarier than the KGB), zero freedom of speech, a xenophobic culture that is on it's 3rd or 4th genocide, mass censorship, 24/7 survelliance with ai assisted facial recognition tied to one of the most invasive databases ever, zero privacy (can't even poop without the cameras watching), no freedom, laws that only benefit the state, police that know more about you than you know about yourself, terrible working conditions and worker rights, a society that looks like it was ripped from George Orwell's 1984 dystopian sci fi novel.
Need I go on?
G C I'm not an us citizen nor do i live there. It's certainly corrupt to a degree, has racial issues, some surveillance and questionable working conditions. Still it's nowhere near China, where corruption might as well be taught in school for how widespread it is, if only teachers were allowed to teach the truth instead of government-approved patriotic bs and lies. (I should know, I met a former chinese teacher) And sure, even France chooses what is taught in school, but teachers aren't banned from talking about certain subjects. And it's not like you'll be able to find more about it online with all the censorship there is.
Sure there are countries who spy on their citizens, but not like that, not like China does. It truly is a totalitarian regime who actually committed genocide and oppressed neighboring countries. Comparing that to the US would be like comparing a tank to a machine gun in terms of military power. They are both dangerous, but the tank is way scarier.
Also, saying "but this country is no better" is such a non-argument that you might as well say "but the other kids do it". And assuming that the problem we have with China is due to xenophobia or racism is offensive and, frankly, quite ironic.
But the topic isn't china or the us, it's war3 reforged being bad and the link with blizzard selling out for their chinese investors. My only problem is pandering to another country for money, especially on the topic of Taiwan.
watching the old employees speak at the end after the activision merge and hearing metzen's voice almost break when he said what the blizzard logo meant to him is absolutely heartbreaking
"Arthas looks like a 55 year old drunk with a sword" LUL
I loved the fact that you played the undead theme when they started talking about the corporate fucks LOL. Priceless.
That's an insult to the Scourge. They may operate the same way by spreading Blight everywhere and building upon it, but at least the Scourge has style.
