Even remasters of old games are too hard for today's blizzard. Can't wait for Diablo 4.

I wish I could feel something about this.
I can feel something. I feel happiness. I'm happy that these companies (Blizzard, Bioware) actually managed to fuck up on a level that only the most braindead cucksuckers fans defend them. Remember that these developers were fucking up their games for years now, but the sheeps were sucking it up. But Bioware destroyed their brand with Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem, and now Blizzard destroyed theirs with Diablo Immortal, the China support and now with WC3. And I'm happy. Because these companies don't deserve the good will they were still getting.
But Blizzard fans are a lot dumber,after all they are mostly MMO authists.

Blizzard have been woke for a long time so no surprise here.

If I ever start a game company you can be sure as shit it won't have danger haired "gender studies" people in it.

Btw, if gender studies is what you are pursuing, when do you have time to learn actual game development?

Is that seriously real or shop? if it's real.... mother of god... no words

It has to be a troll faker... fun nontheless :X
It's obviously fake, but we've really reached a stage where one starts to wonder.

I can't tell if it's a troll or not, Blizzard have been woke for a long time. They added black customization options to humans in WOW. I'm not against that at all but they pretend that they have always been in Stormwind. Missed an opportunity to develop them as a sub-race with its own lore. Shows how much they actually care about black people.

Black druids in D4 as well. In D3 the witch doctors make sense because they come from the south but Scosgen is basically Scotland. How did they evolve black skin up there? Again, nothing against black people but put them where they make sense, don't just shoehorn them in the game.

Yeah I mean wtf. Everyone knows that the Orc race is for black people so no reason to add a black customization for humans

I don't know, maybe Stranglethorn Vale (Africa) was once part of Stormwind? Give it an explanation! Or maybe they want to push the agenda that black people have always been in Europe, which is kind of strange.

Either way Trolls are already the black people of WOW from a cultural POV and they are one of the coolest races.

Funny, how they include blacks, browns etc, but human civilization in games is always medieval european kingdoms with knights and sheeeeit. Now THAT'S white supremacy and eurocenrism, not making all characters in medieval Bohemia white.

Uh. Lots of people in this thread seem to be talking about this game in the context of some Great Cultural And Moral Decline Of Gaming, but this isn't some misguided creative effort by radicals. It's just a failed cashgrab, the likes of which have existed since the beginning of video games.

This is exactly what they are attempting to subvert. They are trying to create a narrative in which medieval european kingdoms were not predominantly white.

Still whiter than Africa. And that's why they succeed where other failed.

Basically developers and filmmakers openly show contempt for white culture, but in reality they despise others even more. Despise them enough to not even allow them to have their own culture.

The point that's being made, is that Blizzard at least historically, would never really do failed cashgrabs or cashgrabs at all. They used to be about quality first and foremost. That's what the outrage is about. Blizzard used to be the high bastion of incline in the old days of gaming, how they have fallen, and now been reduced to this.

Honestly I wouldn't care at all if the classic version was easily available alongside the new one. They basically erased the old TFT from history, making even the people without reforged play an inferior version. This cunty action deserves all the hate they get and more

Dark Souls Remaster is a brazen cashgrab. This...dunno. I've just seen a short breakdown of what's wrong with Reforged and it's stuff like EULA, custom campaigns and multiplayer, something I personally don't give a fuck about. As an uber-casual fan of the old Blizzard, I'd be perfectly happy with this game if it was like 15 bucks. It's got widescreen support, HD textures, even a ton of new assets and animations...that's more than enough for me. Only the price is pants on head retarded.

HD textures that look like shit, all the assets feel awkward and out of place, can't use custom maps, interface is a web browser, pointless gender-swapped units, Samwise icon replaced with horse faced chink with purple hair nobody has ever even seen before, nuBattle.net instead of the far superior older one.

I mean, come on guys, for 15 bucks, look all the stuff you are getting.

No, it's both. That's how we got this perfect storm of a disaster.

Don't forget, the original plan was to add to the story and writing, update the characters to their current nuWoW status etc. They didn't do that because they had no time, but it might still be coming in future patches.
