The only saving grace was that WC3 was delivered a solid SP campaign. not ideal when good will was already slipping from recent controversies. The fact that they didn't deliver, provided a perceived inferior product (mulitplayer was missing features) and then proceeded to shove the product down the fans throats was both embarrassing and insulting to the fans. Blizzard should have been capable of this.
WARCRAFT 3 FORUMS UPGRADE
if blizzard just carried out everything they promised, gave it a visual upgrade and kept the rest of the features intact so that compared to WC3 classic it was a superior product, people wouldn't be so upset. The problem is more how a multibillion dollar company with top notch talent (like blizzard) handled the whole thing. yes, Warcraft 3 reforged isn't an absolutely car crash, unplayable piece of trash. It's probably the best RTS in history (sorry Starcraft lovers ) and with the new assets it just rocks!Ĭlick to expand.i think disappointment sums it up. Broken promises don't affect the gameplay though.
WARCRAFT 3 FORUMS PATCH
The appropriate patch is on the PTS for a few weeks, so we should see it being implemented in the near future. The new models are so good that Warcraft 3 Reforged could have been released as a new RTS and no one would notice that the engine is from 2002. All assets were redone from scratch and they look absolutely gorgeous even by today standards. Yes, Blizzard didn't deliver everything that they've promised, but the core of Reforged is in place. I'll probably be the first person that you've met which says a lot of good things about this version, but from the perspective of two and half year that have past since its release date, I can say that the game received a lot of undeserved bashing. Of course we can argue that timed missions prepare better for online play, but what the hell? I'm playing single player campaigns to have single player fun!Īs for the Reforged version, as we all know time heals the wounds. There's almost no timed missions as opposed to Starcraft 2 which relied on them heavily. I'm mostly playing official campaigns right now and it's nice to experience the story that preceded World of Warcraft once again. The fun that this game gives me is a lot bigger than the one provided by Starcraft 2 which I revisited last year. I've spent probably around 25 hours in the last 4 days in the game and I still don't have enough. The gameplay is just astoundingly good and it didn't age a bit. Maybe it's my hunger for a good AAA class RTS, but I'm absolutely charmed by the game. In the wake of the Blitzchung-Hong Kong protest debacle back in September, Warcraft III: Reforged looks to do little to redress the waning fortunes of an erstwhile revered gaming institution.So I decided to revisit Warcraft 3 after 10 (?) years and give the Reforged version a try. While tempers flair among the player base, Blizzard remains disconcertingly quiet. The forum tells a similar story about the game’s reception with thread titles such as ‘You Have Killed Warcraft 3’ and ‘That’s what happens when you fire 800 employees’. There are even reports that Blizzard attempted to quell the discontent by banning users on the official Warcraft III forum seeking out refunds.
