World of Warcraft Reviews (original) (raw)

A fantastically beautiful and exceedingly friendly MMORPG. It's also nice to finally have a good-looking 3d RPG that doesn't suffer from terrible lag and massive server load-times.

As solid an experience as can be found online. This game will absorb your life once you start playing, and crusty pizza boxes will become an all too common appearance around the house.

The best MMORPG to date and even todat still the golden standard that haven't been surpassed yet.

SirSniffel please get your facts straight and stop spreading false information. This game is not full price. It is literally every expansion except the current one for the price of just a subscription. Only the newest expansions are $50. Stop complaining about dumb stuff. On that note, World of Warcraft is the most polished MMORPG there ever will be. And it has the best music, voices, art style, environments and world there EVER WILL BE!! World of Warcraft will never die. I'll be playing in heaven. Imagine giving a game you can't stop playing for 20 years anything other than a 10.

Part of what makes this game so remarkable is it doesn't assume that all you have to do in your busy life is play this one game, and so it delivers a high-quality experience regardless of how much or how little time you're able to invest...A stunning achievement that will make you feel privileged to be a game player.

Broadly speaking, in MMOs you hit things, then fashion things to make your hitting more effective. World of Warcraft does that better than anything else on the market at the moment. [Jan 2005, p.96]

It’s a game designed to exhaust the world’s supply of adjectives. It’s a world littered with riches - tiny details sewn into a vast, varied and utterly spectacular canvas. [Sept 2005, p.90]

Delivers great atmosphere through simplistic stylized environments, suited music, relevant quests, massive PvP raids, and party adventuring. With their customizable user interface, chat channels, and guild system, it is easy to build strong communities for rich gaming relationships.

Fix your game, Blizzard. Listen to your players, actually cater to the high end, fix bugs that need fixing, and don’t leave your playerbase hanging for months on end. Then I will give your game a higher mark.

The pioneer of the genre. This game is just legendary and will be forever gaming history. There is a reason why people are returning massively after 20 years only to revisit the original experience with WoW Classic.

What the game offers is polished and fun. Sadly there isn't much to offer aside from grinding gearscore in a few dungeons and a raid, to do the same stuff on higher difficulties. While there might be a gigiantic world to discover, it's mostly dead and empty, aside from the newest city in the current expansion. For a full price title, with a subscription fee and microtransactions that give you ingame advantages, it's difficult to recommend.

World of Warcraft was a fantastic game. I played classic and I could tell just how amazing this game would have been back in the old days. Yes, modern games are superior in quest design and dungeons, but the lack of QOL here was genuinely a positive thing imo and allowed the community aspect to be far better. But MMOs as a whole have problems WoW never solved. They are end game heavy, so leveling becomes an empty chore devoid of community, and the MMO crowd consume content like locusts. Its very hard to enjoy yourself in such an environment. WoW classic didnt do anything to address these things, but these problems were not a big issue when you had continuous growth and when there weren't leveling bots, optimization guides, and try hard communities just looking to grind content instantly. Ultimately WoW's success was about the time it was released just as much as it was about the gameplay and design. And that time will never come again.

En sus inicios hasta la Wotlk le doy un 10.Desde Cataclysm hasta ahora todas las expansiones me han parecido una basura. Su servicio de atención al cliente es inexistente, te atienden bots. Por no decir de los miles de bots que hay farmeando que reportas y Blizzard no hace nada. En la parte de classic hay bugs que llevan entre 12 y 20 años y no los han arreglado. 13€ por no tener calidad en el servicio y en el juego, Y la guinda del pastel son las carísimas expansiones además del pago mensua,

I played WoW for almost one year, and liked most of it. Until I started doing team quests and raids... There you are, with 24 other players, most of which have done this raid before. Some of them have done it many, many times. But for you it is a first time. And even though you watched a youtube video or two, chaos breaks loose around you. So you run around, try to do something useful, and most likely are killed off quickly. Do the other players care? They certainly do: They are P***ED that you are not performing as well as they are, and they let you know it. In very harsh, vulgar language, which will not be repeated here. Use your imagination. Repeated complaints and reportings of some players lead to exactly nothing. No reaction whatsoever from Blizzard. And some raids just cannot be avoided when you follow the story line... So if you wish to play WoW, be prepared of this. And if your kids want to play, consider this from their point of view. I am 50+ years old, and found this a humiliating experience. This does not bid well for kids in the same situation! In more than 30 years of online gaming I have never met so many rude and arrogant players as in WoW. But I hasten to add that in every raid there were also people behaving in a polite and civilized way. Either a minority, or not concerned enough to speak up stronger. The game itself would get 8 points, but because of the behaviour of many players, and Blizzard's lack of action, it is a 4.

Summary Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again. World of Warcraft is an online role-playing ...
