This company is the reason of me being a pc gamer till date. I’ve bought and played many of this company’s games, but I’m starting to get tilted. You do nothing chewing on the same games year after year, recycling your own content until extracting the last drop of money you can make from each one of them, leaving no room for imagination. I prebought WC3 Reforged as soon as I saw the first gameplay because this was the first game I got completely charmed and immersed by, but I recently saw a more recent gameplay video and I have to say, I got really disappointed with what I saw.
In less than 2 months, the game is supposed to be released, but all I’ve seen is opposed to progress towards it. Graphics seem to be a mere reskin of a 17 year old game. It feels to me like nobody has put their heart into doing it, and all it made me feel is it loses the charm of such an ancient and important videogame. I’m starting to regret my preorder, but I’m giving this videogame company one last shot. There are huge videogames on the way, created by companies who show their care for their customers and you should be worried about that. If I don’t feel like playing this game for 40+ hours after its release, that will be my last blizzard game bought for good. I swear it.
Goodbye and good luck.
okay, bye?
You are not the only one.
I am also a follower. And I also grew up and loved this game.
Friend, don’t lose hope. It is a beta version and there are always updates. this could be the redemption of Blizzard
This is wishful thinking. It’s November and the release is supposed to happen by the end of December. The “beta” feels like early alpha, way worse than the demo showed last year and tons of features were outright scrapped. This will be a bomb.
blizzard stopped making good games more than a decade ago and I blame it 100% on their fanbase.
you go to the dota 2 reddit and all people do is meme or talk sh1t about valve, the community keeps valve in check and they deliver with an amazing game.
now u go to sc2 reddit and try to talk about the absolute sh1t state the game is in and what people do? they start defending blizzard like stockholm syndrom babies, blaming external factors on why the game went from being THE esports title to a joke being watched by 80k people while dota gets 2 million and league of babies gets 3m or smth like that.
and that’s what you get when the fanbase thinks the company is their ““friend””: you get sh1t services and sh1t products.
that’s what you get when you don’t demand them to do their best, you get overpriced garbage and dead games.
I sunk time in sc2 and I bought wc3 reforged SoW, but I’ll be completely honest with you and say that I have absolutely no faith in blizzard doing a good job.
They were going to do a new story and incorporate new things, and the playerbase complained. Now the playerbase is complaining because they aren’t adding those new features in. You can’t win with this community. No community is going to be 100% for something.
I wanted the story to remain the same with the original voices but still make the in-game cutscenes like cinematics themselves.
They were going to make different style cut scenes, see the Purging of Stratholme beta from last year for an example, they got complained at until they backtracked. They were going to make some new story elements and dialog, but backtracked from people whining, now people are fighting over one of the Death Knight skins. Blame the no-change group if you want change not Blizzard.
(Also I’ll prolly be called a Blizzard fanboi, but you can never win so whatever)
Rex that’s such a cop out and you know it. Your making excuses for them not adding content in the game. All they’ve showed us is reskins and remodels. Sure let’s say they did take out all the campaign nonsense us RTS fans don’t care about. What did they give us in return? I can definitely tell you without a shadow of a doubt what we wanted was a balanced game that’d revive RTS genre and a map editor that’d revive the community and so far we’ve got nothing.
- The demo looked like garbage. Washed out colours, plastic buildings…
- The UI in the demo looked horrifyingly bad.
- Even the Reforged cutscene was a complete and utter failure. I was writing posts back then about how there is no rain and no hill for Arthas to stand on. And how the pacing is all off (the people are coughing when Arthas calls them “healthy looking”).
Today I read so many people saying it’s suppose to be a reforged not a remake, they are remodeling and skinning because people don’t want change. However for the revive of the RTS genre they are actually balancing, in the deep dive they directly said they were going to rework stuff like the crystal as it drops too late in the game to be useful. They have also said they are going to keep working on balance, on top of the fact they already said they are going to make the editor better, multiple times. They are trying to balance as people on both sides are trying to pull them down.
??? Are you serious?
…they did it half a year ago.
I’m talking about the deep dive from a few days ago, they brought up that stuff as an example that they will be bringing balance.
Guys the past year they’ve been patching the game and it’s been utter garbage. Classic so far has shown they can’t balance the game.
And they’re promising a lot and delivering nothing so far
agree 100%, I’m actually very scared about them balancing the game every 3 months like they said they would and I got extra scared when I saw the long hair dude on the panel who used to balance sc2 (I’m trying not to be too negative so I’ll hold a lot back, but a game so poorly balanced it’s near dead while having no real competition on RTS genre) is working on wc3 balance.
I mean, we all saw what they did when they started touching KotG and mountain giant, right?
anyway, for now we have no option other than hoping they’ll do better in the future.
This project was doomed from the start.
A lot of hype was generated at last Blizzcon, but their radio silence over an entire year was a major red flag. Then there were the constant WC3 network issues… that’s what happens when you remaster a 15 year old game when only a handful of people (or less) in the company are even familiar with the ancient code.
What did you expect from a “remastering”? Did you say the same thing about StarCraft Remastered?
When you buy a remastered CD you don’t get newly recorded tracks. No, they just choose different instrument tracks and/or change the mix.
all it was supposed to be from the beginning was a reskin of the old game, do you not know the difference between a REMAKE and a REMASTER? lmao… wake up and research between the 2 before you buy a game.
very well said, its hight time customers call out the practives by these companies, I am also in the same boat, The game looks so bad its beyond words. Have you played the Beta?
Its filled with lag fest and extremely bad optimization, Yes this will also be my last Blizzard game and my last WOW month. Will never ever sub to classic WOW again, this game I will see on 28th and what is its true state that day.
I don’t expect any change or the quality that they delivered in the trailer from 2018.
