...WoL and Hots out of the water by a long shot.

The campaign was just 2 levels of quality above the WoL and Hots one. In length, story, gameplay and everything else i can think of.

Ive already played more LotV Single player than Hots, and its only a day in.

Hate the multiplayer all you want but huge props to the single player / coop team at blizzard. Lotv is an awesome game.

TBH WoL and HotS didn't set some high standards for single player so I really don't understand why you are so overjoyed. But each to his own, I guess.

That's why you can't trust anything positive you read. Some people will be dishonestly enthusiastic about even the shittiest thing.

I LOVE YOU KERRIGAN

I was never really into the single player parts of SC, and admittedly didn't even play more than a couple missions in HotS, but the first mission in LotV i found surprisingly amusing. Just had a shit ton of units...

Hm, I am not finished with it yet. I do love the mission design so far.

The story is way too far up it's own arse at this point for me to really care about.
I was saddened that Blizz does not know the difference between shined and shone.

WHY TEH F*CK does Zeratul have nippels? Reading anything about protoss physiology makes it pretty clear they aren't mammals, and as referenced in the campaign itself, Protoss do not have mouths.

I haven't finished, but what I don't like is that ~90% of all missions are the same. Rescue all 5 or kill all 5 stuffs.

To be honest, I'd rather be happy about everything than complaining about everything. It's also less annoying for the people around you.

People who are happy about everything are probably more annoying to me than people who complain about some of the things. There are just too many good things that we have because we fought for them - and I could just as well be talking about big stuff like human rights, or small things like the removal of bad features in some games.

So from my point of view, you're a freeloader who slapped a smile on his face while the whining by the rest of us actually led to positive changes in many areas. For all its faults, LotV might be better because people cared to complain and voice their opinions.

Also I want to point out that people who complain often care, often a LOT. I played Heroes of the Storm for a while, ended up getting bored with it, not once did I post anything on the Heroes of the Storm forums complaining about anything. I just left because I didn't care. I care about SC2 though. And so here I am.

That being said, perhaps you don't have to read this blog if you don't agree :O


Edit: On another note, in december 2014, I wrote a few paragraphs of what I expected to be the broad strokes of the SC2 ending. Here it is. Could anyone tell me how much of it I got right?

Legacy of the Void campaign by Carl M. - 21.12.2015

-Mengsk is dead and his totalitarian regime is in disarray, but thankfully we had an heir conveniently newly setup. Valerian is a liberal guy, he’ll take charge of the terran dominion and turn it liberal. Less resources will be used for enforcing order and the people will be rallied behind the cause of fighting the Xel’Naga. Valerian will be very candid in front of the cameras, which will contrast with his father’s dictatorship in a very direct way.
-Raynor is still the useful nice guy, he’ll use the forces that are at his disposal to fight the Xel’Naga. At this point, his pertinence in the story is minimal but Raynor still hypes shit up and manages to have some resources due to Valerian.
-Kerrigan has “released” the zerg just before the big fight vs. the Xel’Naga because she’s very stupid. She’ll get them back by their own free will or somehow manage to get them to fight.
-Zeratul will get in touch with the protoss and manage to mobilize them against the Xel’Naga. This will be a big part of the campaign.

Raynor and Valerian will get prepared together in the background while Zeratul does the mission to convince the protoss leadership to go to war. Kerrigan will plan semi on her own. Despite her lack of complete control over masses of zerg, she’ll pull a clutch move out of her ass and save the day at the end, showing us that every last bit is important. In the fight with Amon, main characters will die (Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul) – choose at random, one two or three. Zeratul is almost certainly fucked. It’s very possible that the death will be self-sacrifice against Amon (or shortly before).
By working together, Protoss, Zerg and Terran will learn that they can live in peace and unity is great. When it’s all over, we’ll see cinematics about how we need to rebuild, but amidst the destruction there is hope for a better more peaceful tomorrow. Protoss gets back Aiur, Terran gets back its planets, Zergs go and live on their planets as wild zergs.

THE END

-------
+ Show Spoiler +
I only know three things about the campaign so far from trailers and reading around:
+ Show Spoiler +
1- Zeratul dies (I've read - so I was right about that)
2- Kerrigan becomes Xel'Naga (I've seen the cinematic)
3- Protoss does take back Aiur - though I assumed this happened at the end rather than at the beginning

I was waiting for the end where after killing off Amon, Kerrigan gets this sinister look, turns red, regrows her claws, and slays Ouros. Being the only Xel'Naga, she's free to rule the void and countless other universes, and takes flight from her needy, clingy, alcoholic stalker, never to be heard from again.

...was a little bit disappointed but I guess it wasn't all that bad.

hahaha nice title! XD

I seem to remember I enjoyed HOTS campaign more but LOTV is best imo because of the coop mode.
