Love it!
Hate it!
Just installed Warcraft 3 UN-reforged and god, what a pleasure to play this game! Even though graphics is old as hell, but the story, the spirit - it is plain awesome! Leading Arthas to his doom - what could be better?
I knew not to get it; because a purits will ruin it, and b it's a failure in the making. I rather play the original one rather than paying a ton to a reskin. And anyone who hoped it will be something more: No chances: Because thanks to #nochanges and idiots who are really loud for it (and blizzards lazyness wherever it's possible and activisions trying to save money wherever it's possible) blizzard will never do anything. So enjoy your
"Warcraft 76".

Not in reviews: An average game in reviews is as said before around 75. Because these ratings in most cases are not only because of how the game plays, but graphics. gameplay, ui and so on. 50 on a game is basically gutter-trash. 75 is average but also on the bad side. 80 is ok, 85 is good and 90 is excellent and in the upper ranks often a masterwork.
"Small minority"... lol.. dude... there are 7700 ratings and only 428 are positive and 101 are mixed with the rest overwhelmingly negative. In case you were wondering that is 94% negative, 1% of reviews that are mixed and only 5% that are positive. Critic reviews are 50,60,60,75. All the critics (even the 75 rating) say the game is full of bugs, missing features, not what was promised, and is questionable in its quality of improvements. They only rated it as "high" as they did because Warcraft 3 itself is a good game DESPITE the reforged update. You have to be delusional to still be defending blizzard on this.
Here is a "10" review that I found on metacritic lol...
I'd say this review is on the opposite spectrum of toxic and is overly forgiving of Blizzard despite naming a lot of downsides. How does this review reflect a perfect 10/10 game?"Yes, they've shown not what we have now.
Yes, release have less smooth and modern render than in alpha.
Yes, they removed new detailed terrain and trees.
Yes, they removed new compact interface.
Yes, they almost haven't done any cinematic reworks.
Yes, there is some bugs at start.
But I still have exactly what I wanted when Reforged was announced. Good old W3 with new vision. I really love new models, new buildings, HD terrain and trees, and sounds. I'm glad they saved old style of environment and interface, saved right contrast perception of colors without too much shadows and shaders. It could be another game with another ambiance if they would did it first way they wanted. They gave wrong expectations when they changed way of development after alpha. It was general Blizzard's mistake. But I'm glad I have this one W3 remaster."
Here's another "10" review:

Out of pity set 10. Don't want to say anything. Blizzard deserve it i think.

Again. People are enjoying it DESPITE the shortcomings of reforged because Warcraft 3 which released 18 years ago is a good game. The game got more attention with this launch and so people are playing it on twitch just like all new game releases. That doesn't mean people are happy with what REFORGED delivered or that they are happy Blizzard removed features and cut promises. Even the good reviews show that people are disappointed it wasn't more.

r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
i will never forgive you for this blizzard.
0.7 user score on metacritic.
63 critic score on metacritic again. fucking corporate shills. wonder how much are they paid.
I remember when a was slightly above average, and you even got pro tips with your reviews!
On a serious note, Metacritic audience score is worthless. I haven't met a single person who actually submits reviews to Metacritic.
The only thing a game being review-bombed shows you is that there are enough people unhappy about the game that they'll waste their time making dummy accounts to submit 1/10 reviews over and over. Which is valuable in a way, sure, but it doesn't mean that the game is actually a 1/10 on any objective scale.
I made a meme that describes this game perfectly.
The original game was like a 9/10 and at worst this is an overpriced visual upgrade with some performance issues. I don't know how many points you realistically expect someone to subtract for that, but it certainly shouldn't tank scores. 6/10 (3 points deducted) seems fair to me.
I mean, barring performance issues, I'd still rather replay the Reforged version than the base version, personally. Not that I bought Reforged, but I've got no problem snagging it on sale in 10 months when the bugs have presumably been worked out.

It may be a mess but it's not like Blizzard is putting all their eggs in this basket. This is not Fallout 76 level disaster. It's a bad HD remaster of a 15 year old game.
Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.
