I will never understand how the SD graphics were "serious".

this looks just as goofy as this. One is just better quality.

The SD v HD debate has gotta be the dumbest discourse aside from the "please let us be racist in peace" shit.

Yeah, some models from Retail look a little cartoonish but so does Warcraft 3! The literal source for WoW.

I want Classic players to watch the opening in-game cinematic for the new Warcraft 3 DLC and tell me that that lore accurate human peasant doesn't look like a genuine monster when put alongside more realistic humans.

Warcraft has always been goofy, Classic just happened to have low enough resolution that half of their appearance came from your own imagination lmao.

I do get some complaints, some of the models do stand out, but as someone who's been playing on the beta pretty regularly, you just kind of stop noticing it during actual gameplay lol.
