Why tf would you?
The Blizzard that made good games died many years ago.
It’s like the ship of theseus, but shit. The shit of theseus.
shit of feceus. it was right there, man…
hahaha excellent
FYI, I posted your comment above on [email protected], I hope you don’t mind!
Aw thanks.
The Diablo II remake was EXCELLENT
The rest of their games are trash now
Blizzard didn’t make the Diablo II remake, they outsourced it. Thank god.
If you’re still asking that question, you aren’t paying attention. Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal, Warcraft III: Reforged. Do you need 10 more years of shitty games to prove this to you?
There is no such thing as Blizzard. They were bought out by Activision, which was bought out by Microsoft.
From the comments, the remake of Diablo II was decent
Remake already means they failed.
All they did was get rid of the free at&t servers, upgrade a couple 2d sprites and put it in a launcher with a new price tag.AFAIK it was done by Blizzard North, the same team that actually worked on D2 back then (when Blizzard was more like Blizzard). At least partly. Correct me if I’m wrong (I might easily be) but it is at least not a 100% match with regular Blizzard.
Developed by Vicarious Visions, a recent Activision Blizzard acquisition.
And I thought it was an excellent product (although I stopped playing before they started making larger changes in patches).
They outsource the remake.
I’ve been playing Diablo 4 and loving it.
It was PERFECT.
No, I’ve been actively boycotting them for many years by now.
I broke my own rule and actually preordered something – Diablo 4. Huge mistake.
Well, that’s on you, really. :D
Two huge mistakes.
Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.
It’s not the Blizzard that used to make games we loved anymore. It’s just a name now, and behind that a corporation focused on maximum profit exclusively.
The Warcraft III Reforged shitshow was definitely something to behold
The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.
I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.
That’s some proper gaslighting!
Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly
No
Signing that one.
No.
Lol, lmao, no.
I don’t really expect anything good coming from them. To me the likes of Blizzard, Ubi, Bioware, Bethesda, EA etc are shareholder-driven companies, that stopped innovating a long time ago and now only produce and regurgitate the absolute bare minimum slop.
I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion, like for ubi’s Anno 1800, or blizzard’s diablo 2 remake, but they’re few and far between.
Nope.
of course not.
Boycotting Blizzard is all about their shitty behavior as a company since long before the games they made turned bad too.
I’ve long stopped caring about them, really. From what I’ve heard, the Diablo 2 remaster was pretty good, so it’s likely that Warcraft 2 might actually be a good remaster, too. It’s not like they’re promising a whole world of stuff like they did with Warcraft 3 Refunded.
Me? I ain’t buying it. BRL buying power is shit 🇧🇷 🏴☠️
Broodwar remaster was also good. If they faithfully uprez the graphics, fix severe bugs, and do nothing else then there’s hope. The 2D remasters have a good track record so far.
That said, had anyone played WC2 recently? It’s pretty rough. It’s fun for nostalgia sake and if you’re into the lore of Warcraft or the history of RTS, but it doesn’t hold up like Broodwar still does.
Yeah like what’s actually the point? WC2 is not a game that holds up today compared to where the genre has gone.
Haven’t since overwatch 1 came out
