Great video although you forgot to mention in Alliance campaign that fire orb gives bonus damage and ranged attacks making it very nice for the mission.
@1:05:58 I don't blame you at all for not realizing (I've played through WC3 multiple times and never noticed either) but Anasterian Sunstrider is the king of the high elves and Kael'thas' father. I legitimately had no idea he was in WC3 at all (unless this is a reforged specific addition, which I haven't played through)
Back when I was a child war3 , empire at war and dawn of war are my favourite games, even till this day
"Oh look, Grant put out a new video about WarCraft, and the thumbnail says A Brief Retrospective, cool. How long could that possibly be?"
4:44:44 later
"Wait a minute…"
He's Giant, he's Grant and he's Great at Gaming

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME SINCE RELEASE AND I DIDNT NOW THAT
Is it just me or are the glaive throwers loading glaives, but launching bolts?
You made my day with that video
Love your Work and your Channel thanks for every Video and your Effort in Content❤
It's cute that you think random High Elf heroes had important roles in the lore.
This is going to be a bit of a love letter to GGG.
Your content on YT is a treasure. From your gameing skills, trough script, to editing itself. I can't give you enough credit and to your editor as well. Thank you for taking us trough this nostalgic memory tripp. It's awesome to see the passion and love that was put into this game 20 years ago, getting the attention it deserves to this day, especialy with you in the driver seat. It was hell of a ride and i honestly can't wait, what will your channel bring next.
It's crazy that at the end of almost 5 hour long video, i felt like hitting the replay button wasn't such a bad idea.
From the bottom of my hearth, THANK YOU.
PS: I may have a suggestion.
I'm sure you know about Re-reforged campaign. I think there is a lot of potential for future content there.
I can't believe I watched through the whole thing
As a kid I always tought that the ending cinematic for TFT is boring.. Just a dude walking up the stairs. But now it sends a chill down my spine every time I see it. Those whispers from Arthas past set the tone perfectly. And the last one, the one he never heared "Your young prince will find only death in the cold north" is a perfect ending. Reminding you of the long yourney that lead to this. It's simply perfect.
Bro I came here to nostalgia talk about Warcraft 3 are you doing a whole fkn transcription of Warcraft 3? 4 Hours and 44 Minutes???
Interesting thought, actually – if Gul'dan wanted to find the Eye of Sargeras, shouldn't it mean that Sargeras is missing an eye? If so, why does he still have both on the artworks?
Chen Stormstout was also in the final orc mission, it's not just two easter egg pandas
Why is the Rexxar campaign 40 seconds of footage? it's really good, also Jaina's dad was completely right
This is such an incredible work, thanks Grant for doing this for us. Whatever will happen to the statistics of this video I hope you will continue doing them. It's like a Christmas present to find you have released it. <3
Strongly recommend Designer Dave's video on why Reforged failed. Blizzard essentially pulled the rug out from under the WC3 devs they brought back and it screwed up so much of the game. Gods a mercy it's so ugly too….
My gods, this was a nostalgia trip. Warcraft 3 has been on my mind a lot recently for some reason, and this coming out just reminded me of why it's got a permanent rent free room in my skull ever since playing it as a kid. This game changed how I looked at games, how I looked at stories and characters. To young me, the concept that you could follow the journey of someone from bright young hero to irredeemable monster, to them effectively WINNING at the end, and still feel sympathy for their struggles was mindblowing. Sylvanas's arc was heartbreaking and she'll forever be in my list of favourite characters for her sheer resolve.
I haven't touched the game in many years, and I cut Blizzard out of my games collection entirely a couple of years ago for their atrocious behaviour on so many fronts. Thank you for reminding me of just how good a company and creative team they once were.
Lightning effect?
I hope that if Blizzard ever decides to make a Warcraft 4 or a new Starcraft, they take some notes from this video.
lol photosensitivity, talk about the pussiest disease known to mankind
This game was my childhood. Greatest game ever
not really , starcraft 2 is more famous and age of empires 4 dont ve none mechanic from w3
Would you ever consider playing coh? Or brief retrospective it's fairly complex
Where are 3 demo missions? Meeting of Thrall's Horde and Darkspear Trolls.
As child I had pirated copy of Frozen Throne, so whole tutorial and story from Reign of Chaos was lost on me. No wonder why I struggled with elven campaign so much. To the point where I discovered cheat codes and jumped to Blood Elves campaign and Arthas campaign.
Just incredible
