Is that how we got all the 'Oh no Kerrigan, the Xel'naga have corrupted Arthas. Use the soulstone!' shit in every single game?

After all these years I'm still impressed how they fucked up the writing and ruined the characters.

Remember the romance story of Raynor and Kerrigan? He hated her at the end of broodwar and now he's all

The thing I find so hilariously ironic is that back in the original Starcraft and Brood Wars the writing was supposed to be simple B-movie schlock about hicks in space fighting aliens, but still ended up unironically good and memorable, especially if you read the manual. And they found a way to fuck it up. Sasuga!

Purchased, played a couple campaign missions and a couple online games. Requested a refund and it was processed immediately, didn't even need to talk to a customer service person. Happy with Blizzard in this regard. I would say if they introduced custom campaigns and a toggle to the old graphics I'd reconsider, but I think I'm pretty much done buying video games at this point.
Immediately pirated the original WC3, unzipped and ran and was happily greeted by that comfy old menu that doesn't make my laptop fan scream with agony. I tried being a good boi, but as long as piracy provides a better product it's a moral obligation to pirate fucking everything. I'd rather be in a few friendly neighborhood Russian botnets than deal with the AIDS that comes with legitimate services these days.

They removed custom campaigns? holy fucking shit blizz, how can you fuck up this badly? I've looked into the known issues and it hasn't been fucking addressed. I don't know how I can refund this game if I bought it with WoW gold. :/

Technically available but they don't work.
That's also included, sans shadows because Blizzard.

If only. Electron is a fucking plague used exclusively by "coders" with no marketable experience who chug meal replacement drinks on the daily.

Nope. Runs on Electron which basically means it's running as a glorified browser app. Many games do this for their launchers, but because WC3 has that whole shiny intro sequence, this would explain why the game fails to run at 30FPS in the fucking game menu.

I don't know whether it's just Metzen growing more exceptional as he aged, or he simply had a tard wrangler that kept his stupidity in check when he wrote both OG Starcraft and Diablo. Certainly, it seemed like the franchises' story took a deep nosedive once he was put in charge of the overall writing team.

I have copies of Diablo for Playstation and Starcraft for the N64 just in case Blizzard decides to ever fuck with those games.
I should probably track down the console port of the earlier Warcraft games just for completions sake. I have console ports of all the Myst games including the PS1 port of Riven.

The medic saying "Where does it hurt?" is too sexual and that is problematic. Please mail your N64 cart to Blizzard for a $40 upgraded version with a menu screen that runs off a gameboy cart that you plug into the transfer pack. $50 if you also want the strong beautiful trans version of

It's interesting and sad how Blizzard managed to cash in years of good will with a few bad decisions. On reflection Diablo 3 was a warning of a deeper rot setting in, they're not the same company which made warcraft 3 in the first place anymore, they're bassically just Activision and they have the rights to all the stuff a good debunct good company used to make.

r/warcraft3 - Hey guys, we work at Lemon Sky Studios, the studio that did the art for W3R. Lets talk.

Some of the people working for the company contracted to do art did an impromptu AMA on reddit.
Apparently the reason half the stuff looks bad is because Blizzard gave 0 cohesive art direction, big surprise.

As they're already planning with Diablo IV.
Diablo IV Is Online-Only
You can play Diablo IV on your own, but Blizzard insists a connection is maintained at all times for the game to function.

Kerrigan went from a really fun villain in Broodwar to the most insufferable character in any Blizzard game. Waifufags were a mistake.
