       I hadn't yet seen any actual gameplay from Warcraft 3 Reforged (just static pics or early bullshots).And... the new graphics kind of suck? I'm surprised.#warcraft #games

       I mean, Reforged obviously looks better overall than original War3. It would be hard to look worse - the game came out in the lowest point in the history of videogame graphics (early, bad 3D).But they made some stylistic changes that were really bad. Like changing the 2d icons that were good into super-busy ones. Or making stuff a lot less cartoony, which was the one thing it had going for it. Now it is a mix of uncanny valley and generic.

       Realistic is not an upgrade in this case.Warcraft has oversized shoulderpads and way too many spikes; realism just means it looks sillier than a blockier, cartoonish style.Again: it's still better, but they went too far and I'm mildly disappointed. Well, not like I was ever going to buy it.
