      Warcraft 2, Diablo 2 and Starcraft were the best blizzard games for me, back when Blizzard was awesome. Ever since they went full 3d (though the very beiginning of wow was cool) they just have never been the same and progressively got far far worse over time whereas now they aren't even the same company in any way, as far as I'm concerned they are defunct and have been for quite some time.

I was "harshing their mellow". I used to be bitter about this, but now I understand I think.

    Imagine you're an 8 year old kid in the 90's. All you've ever known at this point, as far as video games go, are Mario, Sonic, Kirby, maybe Street Fighter (which your parents disapprove of because violence)... You know, relatively cute, kid-friendly stuff. One day, you go spend your very first allowance for one of those PC gaming magazines that had the demo CDs (and sometimes even an older game) in the front. You rifle through the demos and then you install the demo for Warcraft 2... Your first "grown-up" strategy experience. Deep story, war and violence, the "Urrrrgh!!!" sounds of the orcs dying burns into your memory. The music!! Oh god, the music!!!! You sit there, slack-jawed because you didn't know that games were even allowed to do that!! Who cares about rings or mushrooms!? You're now a soldier on the frontlines. I must have played that demo dozens of times until I saved enough to buy the full game, which I then proceeded to sink thousands of hours into over the years.
    And my journey and eternal love with video games pretty much began there because it broadened my horizon like you wouldn't believe. One of the most transformative experiences of my life. Even now, when Asmon booted up the game and I heard the intro song, I had to stop what I was doing with happy tears in my eyes. These were games made with love and with a vision for what gaming could be. Games like that are still out there, but one has to really look. I can't imagine anybody having the same reaction with shit like Veilguard, but maybe I'm wrong.

The first was Diablo 2 which my aunt introduced me to like a year before. All I had before that was stuff like crash bandicoot, ratchet and clank and spiderman 2. So I really relate haha.

    So that it doesn't get lost in all this commotion, War2 is also there. It's part of this battle chest, or you can get it separately (also on GOG). Remasters actually do add a few things that became more standard after the first two Warcrafts came out, like increased size of control groups, and wouldn't be surprised if they add few other things. Point being, you want actual pure OG experience, it's also there and that's what's important.

    This game and StarCraft was also our bonding time when I was young; he'd control the units while I suggest what would be the unit lineup - I often point at the Elven Archer in the Barracks as they quickly became my favorite units in the game.

    Its crazy how this game looked exact same back in the day whenever you first played it, remasters like this are amazing.

    Lol. I was screaming at the screen for your navy to support from the beach and pull the ogres into fire!! You had enough there but you need to use your units in combination or switch to orc with those brute force tactics!! 😀👌

    I remember when I was a kid I used to take a bath and pretend the soap dish was a boat and would thrash around to make waves and stuff while humming the Warcraft 2 soundtrack.

    Ive recently replayed W3 god I wish they made a 4th and just continued with the strategy games, or make a 1st/3rd person offline RPG, or an Isometric RPG ala Pathfinder etc
