Warcraft 3: Reforged has been thoroughly pilloried by fans who feel shortchanged by Blizzard’s unremarkable remaster. They’ve Metabombed the game into the dust, and it now has record low user scores.
The lack of dynamic cutscenes, the unchanged UI, the unrepresentative marketing, and Blizzard’s controlling claim over gameplay modifications left a lot of people furious.
Let’s see what people are saying. It’s quite a ride!

If a game’s rating is lower than my GPA, there’s something wrong.
A well-deserved achievement for a company who’s lost itself to greed and avarice. Welcome to the “Triple-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” game industry!
You screwed up when the only way to get the best version of the game now is to pirate it.
Today, we have woken up in a world where Ride to Hell: Retribution has a higher user rating than a Blizzard game
Bethesda: We’re the most hated company right now.
Blizzard: Give me back that stale beer I was holding earlier.
It delights me that people are starting to realize that current Blizzard is not the company they loved. I despise Blizzard and seeing them suffer fuels me.
Worse than the Slaughtering Grounds.
“It’s not about money… it’s about sending a message.”
just saying
Warcraft 3: Reforged 0.5 user score
Fallout 76 2.7 user score
Never played either, might play one in the future depending on updates (Fo76) but from what I’ve seen and heard, it says something big that it’s got a lower score than Fo76
honestly, if you manage to release a significantly worse version of a 17 year old game, maybe 0.5 isn’t that far from the score you deserve
The worst part about it for me is that the ‘Reforged’ version has replaced the classic version.
If you own the classic version, you can still start the game and play custom games, but if you want to play a campaign, you have to buy Reforged.
Effectively, they’ve not just released a (supposedly)upgraded/remastered version of a game that is available for you to purchase, they’ve also taken away a game/content that you’ve already bought and paid for.
4:27 “I would of rather pay to prevent them from releasing this…”
Careful. Corporation may just do that.
The real tragedy is we already know what the apology will be: We’re sorry we didn’t respond sooner, we can do better, this isn’t the high-quality content from Blizzard you know so well!, I’m sorry, are they just completely full of air now? They is exactly the garbage we expect now.
“Blizzard is dead!”
Then they proceed to pre-order the next Blizzard game in the blink of an eye, and are shocked when Blizzard still doesn’t give a single hoot about their ire.
W3: What are you doing my son?
W3Reforged: Succeeding you father.
LOL
Always remember that “Booty Bay,” an actual location in World of Warcraft, is a banned word in Warcraft 3:Reforged.
