Tried to link the artical but Blizzard wouldn’t let me.

Yeah low scores and lots of refunds I heard. Must have been a big beating.
Kinda happens when people bomb it with 0’s. They could of done a lot better, both Blizzard and the players.

Gamer outrage culture is the worst. All the lemmings flock together.
Yes I know lemmings don’t flock.

Big F. Blizzard is reaching levels of Fallout 76 failure level. Not cool,

This is what bothers me, I think.
The game still plays like WC3. Its basically $30 for WC3 again. Yes, Blizzard did some sleazy stuff with this, but I do think a lot of it is because they got backlashes from a #nochange crowd. There were people slamming them for daring to touch the WC3 story.
It doesn’t deserve 0’s. Unfortunately, this is a pretty cut and dry bombing of people making a statement, not judging a game. And why I just can’t trust scores anymore. People can and should be critical, but no one is looking at it objectively. It’s all emotional reviews which help no one.

I haven’t followed this at all, but do portraits still look like they’ve dropped 3 caps when they talk?
Because that was pretty yuck.
Yeah, never trust review bombing sites, nothing to see here.

They aren’t bombing it because it’s WC3 (ignoring the fact they butchered peoples’ WC3s who didn’t buy Reforged), they’re bombing it because of so many different factors. It’s not a review of WC3, or even of Reforged alone - it’s a review of everything Blizzard is doing with it.
If they handled it better with the exact same product you’d see a higher score.

Im pretty sure no one wanted custom map design to be considered blizzard property so if a new Dota is created they get rights to it.

I only bought it to see the campaign in high graphics. So I’m a satisfied customer.

Try this: Google Warcraft 3: Reforged. Click on the official game site. Scroll down and you’ll see a option called “Forums”. Click on it. Post your topic there. If necessary, it’s possible someone can make a pictogram in crayon.

Could you imagine, how many years of people making stuff in WC3 and the only thing to come out of it is DOTA2, now everyone is worried their next custom mode isn’t going to make them billions? Oh okay.
When I go onto a board to look at the review of a game, I want to know about the game. Being critical of the company is deserving, but I want to know about the GAME. It doesn’t play like a .8; to me, I think 5/10 is probably fair. Lower than the original games because of the issues, but it’s still a playable game.
I hate black and white reviews, because nothing is black and white. Yet if you read the reviews, they’re things like “I’m doing my part.” How does that help? That’s not a critical review, that’s a bomb for simply bombing.
No, but that’s one aspect to the game. And why it deserves to be lower than the original version. But there’s more to it than custom games, which is why it doesn’t deserve straight 0’s.

Well a lot of people expected a high quality product. They probably never played BFA at launch so didn’t lower their expectations. I remember when I first played warcraft 3. That game was amazing. I didn’t preorder reforged because it’s nothing new. Everything the same including the story. Been there, done that. But people love nostalgia.
Not defending Blizzard here but I also don’t readily trust internet sheep either

Almost 15 years of the Zanga microtransaction philosophy, loot crates, season passes, unfulfilled roadmaps, buggy disasters at launch, and an overall anti consumer attitude from the gaming industry might explain some of that.

Uh, how about the false advertising bit? And cinematic that they said WOULD BE IN THE GAME 4 hours worth. Even the blizzcon cinematic that was in the demo isn’t even in the game lol!
But that’s what bothers me, too. Yes, Blizzard definitely committed to false advertising. It’s still on their website. But people should Be reviewing the game, not their preconceived notions that didn’t come to fruition.
I’ve dabbled in it. It’s fine; a passable, playable game. Nothing stellar, nothing dreadful.
