Warcraft III Review | Should You Play it in 2019?

Ойындар

Warcraft III is one of the most beloved RTS's of all time, and it's impact has been felt in the near-two decades since its release. But not in the way most fans would want. Has the recent announcement of Reforged finally given hope for a sequel? A better question is does it even need one - does the original hold up well enough to justify it?

    I still remember being 7 years old and always excited every time I went to my uncle's place, where he would let me play his Warcraft 2 game. He introduced me to the whole genre and I was overjoyed 5 years later when Warcraft 3 launched and I got it that same x-mas. Being that young and falling in love with all those characters gives me ridiculous nostalgia and is still my all time favorite game.

    Well, it is finally here... And I am regretting that I did not play it BEFORE Reforged. I actually never finished the campaigns in the original WC3, and now Blizzard forces everyone to play through the buggy and problem-ridden Reforged - I have the Classic keys, but fuck me I guess. Guess I have to pirate the game off some torrent site, it is unbelievably scummy that Blizz won't let owners of the original play anything else but Reforged now, when in some senses the old version beats the new hands down. Oh, and I did preorder reforged. Regretting it already.

    So sadly true. I guess they were testing the waters of the RPG genre with Reforged. And since it is not doing that swimmingly, they will determine RPG genre is dead - instead of the actual case, which is were they to do it properly people would play the fuck out of it. Do a piss poor job on reforged: Conclusion: RTS IS DEAD. No WC4 guys. (Actual case: No, you just did a piss poor job)

    I feel like RTS games like Warcraft 3 allow for better control over your units and thus the battle. But I can see how some separation of control is part of the appeal of some of the games you listed. Large Warcraft 3 battles also look very grand to me as you have each of the units fighting in melee or groups of ranged units in a pretty great spectacle. (Unfortunately this feels a bit lost to me in Starcraft 2)

    For some reason it seems to me the orc vs human cinematic has less "power" to it in reformed than in the original. The fight doesn't feel as brutal and the orc scream doesn't sound as beastly as before. Just my impressions atleast,the cimematics where quite important in creating the atmosphere of the game so I have to be critical there. As far as the original game goes, there's a mission in the night elf campaign where you sneak past demon patrols while also avoiding getting involved in battles between Orcs, Humans and Undead. And at the the end you fight some Satyrs and corrupted Ents. It seemed crazy at the time and was one of my favourite moments.

May hold more of the original feel you're looking for!

Only the opening cinematic was remastered, all the other ones will just look and sound way way better, won't be as god damn blurry anymore which is fucking huge imo. ALL cinemaics already look great, but the opening one was by far imo the one that looked the worst, I'm glad that got the remaster. What I am curious about is the illidian vs Arthas battle, is that going to be a proper cinematic or just them two hitting each other in third person and then one collapses lol?

    If Reforged has a similar unit control to Starcraft 2's, maybe it can support a higher number of troops in a single battle. As far as I remembered, having 3 12 stacks was already pushing the amount of control you have over your units. And in a single battle between armies things get chaotic and you can't understand everything that's happening easily.

But the base game is still fine, I just feel that after owning it for many years I am getting less for my money when a custom map thats no longer being developed gets thanosed by a Blizzard update. Pray that reforged does help the game more than anything else.

    I don't give a fart about World of Warcraft, but I adore the RTS games it was based on. The competition with the Command and Conquer games urged both teams to get more creative and go for more variation and distinction between the factions. Oh yeah.Unit personality. The heroes get the fame, but your regular units get to spit out gems like "This… is… my boomstick!" "Judge me by my size, do you?" And a personal favorite: "Mortar Kombat!!!"

    FYI the original discs are good for F-all now, if you want to play multiplayer that is... I bought reforged for myself just to get a copy of WC3 and I used the original physical copies to install on my brothers PC, updated both games on battle.net, went to fire it up over LAN and they're not compatible, didn't realise they were two different patch versions. You cant update the original disc any further.

    To my is very clear why we don't get WC4, because WoW, cause they main story goes on on WoW and until they don't kill WoW the options they have are, making side stories leaving the main ones to be part of WoW or talk about a different one that may take place many years from the current lore (which I don't see happening) Besides the original idea for W3 was what we know now as WoW so in many ways... that also adds on it. Don't get me wrong I love RTS, W3 was a fine tune in gaming history but for W4 I understand why is a complex topic.

    Controversial opinion: one of the things I loved about the original WC3 was that it had such a unique and vibrant art style. Maybe the graphics weren't the greatest, but the "look" of the world was one of the things that pulled me in, and still enjoy looking at. Plus, I'm lucky enough to have the original WC3 and Frozen Throne on my computer, STILL untouched by the Blizzard "update". The game itself has aged very well, certainly a lot better than other RTS's like the original Age of Empires (not AoE2, mind you! I still love playing that one.)

    If warcraft 3 reforged is a success i dont see why they dont make expansions for it like they do for wow. Although admittedly the direct sequel to warcraft 3 is vanilla so we could have either 8 fleshed out factions (too many imo) or just 2 protagonist factions (Alliance & Horde) with 2 antagonist factions - Dark Iron Dwarves and Black Rock Orcs for example. If Total War Warhammer series is anything to go by blizz could copy their campaign dlcs idea and create specific story campaigns like the invasion of gilneas and make specific factions for it like a forsaken and Gilnean faction.

Now my question is.... what would you recommend ? do I start with the ones I have then the new 2019 one ? not sure what are the differences to be honest ? or just leave it and start with this new one ?
