Warcraft III: Reforged - now with lowest user metacritic score of all time

[shihonage]

I can't recall a single bit of news that was positive for Blizzard in 2019

WoW Classic, modafuka!

Legit forgot about classic already, but yes. That was a light in the darkness for them, but it also worked against Blizzard because they were first adamantly against it, which just further shows that they are completely disconnected from their customers.

Ho man, the hilarity is off the charts here.

I am really happy I didn't preorder this lol. I guess if I want to experience the game I'll just play the original. Which they also ruined with the release of WC3: Reforged apparently

They removed the battle.net online functionality from the original WC3. Maybe some other stuff, I can't remember. Once again pirates are going to be the winners since they can go back to an older version and paying customers get cucked.

Writing in SC2 was abysmal. From purely gameplay perspective though, it's still a very good game.

I'm salty. Had Frozen throne installed on my computer for a decade, still played custom games like castle fight from time to time.

Now have to dl 30gb worth of bs I'm not interested in, and have to launch it via blizz launcher to boot, end result: uninstalled TFT.

Also fuck their new EULA, I hadn't played the various dbz games in ages but still fancied resident evil maps from time to time, which obviously are a no go now, also them LOTR and Troy maps. Oh and what about run kitty run? Those had copyrighted music so ain't allowed either. Everything blizz did to wc3 seems like a giant middle finger, in a way I'm impressed. And to think we naively thought wc3 reforged was going to revive the custom game scene... What deluded fools we were.

RL interceded and prevented me from making the mot of my 6 month sub. Got to Zul'Ferrak and was good while it lasted.

I sense a manipulation here.
To be honest, it is Broodwar that looks like an exception here. A badass one but still. Vanilla Starcraft 1 written as, well, vanilla science fantasy tale as it's sequel.

But is it really? Ever since 2018 with Diablo Immortal Blizzard has been slipping from one media blunder to another. No, really, I can't recall a single bit of news that was positive for Blizzard in 2019; everything was extremely bad and negative. Even their streamer and youtube bootlickers are turning against them at an increasing rate. They've managed to burn bridges with all their fans and even the most delusionals are slowly going to wake up to this. 2020 opening up with a giant Blizzard fuck up just seems like a natural amalgamation of where the company has been heading for a while now.

Overwatch 2 announcement seemed well received. But aye, it's been one step forward and 3 backwards. This game was the biggest highlight of the blizzcon from hell in 2018.

I was really looking forward to this and the editor upgrades.

SC1's story was pretty generic but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as that of SC2.

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

Holeeee shit, this is so fucking bad. Its like an AOE Spell of Fuck-Up.

I was actually expecting this, but gah no. This is stupid.

I can't believe they actually let this abortion come out.

Modern Blizzard is a mockery and a walking corpse of its own self, and it needs a lvl3 Holy Light spell to the face so it can die forever.

You know what this looks like? When back in the day you installed a 3D game without meeting the hardware requirements, it shouldn't run, but it does, just barely. So you set everything to the lowest setting, turn off shadows, light sources etc, maybe edit some file in the game folder to turn the settings even lower than they're supposed to go, just so the game works. Like it's picture 4 of 6 in a "making the graphics of WC3:R" promo material that shows it going from a concept to a finished thing.

 

[Lacrymas]

I'm pretty sure they released it in such a horrible state because they were obligated by law. They probably underestimated how long it will take to finish it or overestimated the outsourcing. What irks me is that the metacritic score is most likely due to bugs and technical issues, as opposed to the art style being a crime against humanity and good taste, the original forcing you to dl 30 GB of garbage, cut features, Blizzard's disgusting policies (especially with what happened concerning China, but also they owning every custom map), their conga line of reputation sinking moves, and on and on. Something disturbingly incompetent is going over at Blizz. Anyway, I'm sure if they work on this and remove the bugs normies will lick it up again.

and yet, after a whole decade of (literally) nothing but scams and /or quick money grabs, there are still people who buy blizzard shit and are excited when something comes from them...

I am just baffled

Don't worry guys, they will apologize and it'll be BAU.

Upscaling 2D art (Starcraft) is tremendously easier than upscaling 3D art, because in the latter you deal with not just texturing, but modeling, improving animation quality, and harsh rendering performance costs.

Pretty sure that with Starcraft Remastered they remodeled everything from scratch as well. I think they even used the same company for creating assets as for Warcraft.
But yeah, in SC you don't have to deal with real time rendering so that makes things quite a bit easier.
