a giant FUUUU on the ending really.
I enjoyed my zerg lead by a ruthless personification of evil.
What now?! What now?! I am a headless zergling spazzing!

Obviously zerg will be fighting hybrid in HOTS i just hope that after Kerrigan easily defeats those inferior evils she turns back to overtaking the galaxy.
Protoss can try and stop her in part 3.

I thought that in SC:BW, Jim Raynor vowed to kill Kerrigan himself after Kerrigan killed Fenix. I guess he forgot.

Very anti climatic that in mere 4-5 missions on char, Raynor, his crew and some Dominion troops manage to go to freaking Char a planet made of lava and infested with Zerg manage to defeat them, and reverse Kerrigan back to human without any significant losses.

Stark contrast to UED, Protoss with Raynor and Dominion at tne end of Brood War couldnt do the same.

I found the story very good and interesting. With the ending however I'm totally unsatisfied. There are so many questions unanswered. What's up with the Xel'Naga now? What happens with the federation? What with Raynor and Kerrigan? I know it's gonna be answered in the upcoming expansions, but for me personally it just wasn't an "epic" ending. I also expected a bigger ending sequence as in BroodWar. It just kinda sucks that we now have to wait such a long time to find out how the story will proceed


I really agree with you. I played the campaign, and during the campaign, I was so looking forward to figure out how all this is gonna end. Oh boy was the ending boring. I was also looking forward to an epic ending like the old starcraft. It took quite some hours to play the entire singleplayer, and the reward for doing it felt like a rip off. The game itself is very polished and nicely executed, but the storyline we have been given was thin.

I know, but keep in mind the artifact was their secret weapon that could get rid of any big incomming zerg swarm if it got too big.

I loved the ending, i was 100% sure they would do another retarted BW plot twist right in the end so kerrigan stayed Zerg, but they didn't, she was saved(for now) It almost feels like reverse psychology, im so used to "What ai Twiiiist" moments in blizz cames, that the the happy ending came as a suprise. And they already said that she is the main character in HotS

+ Show Spoiler +

If were to make any sort of sense of Zeratul's visions, we have to assume she can still control the zerg or Raynor just basically said fk it and doomed everyone despite knowing what would happen
.

Did he say that Kerrigan had to control the swarm? Don't think so. If Kerrigan died, the universe would be doomed. Transformed to human != dead.

Curious about next expansion. I really hope it's very Zerg-like though, would be cool to have same type of campaign, just in another setting. Instead of upgrades and research you'd have evolving etc.

I have a feeling that they will pause the plot about Hybrids though, saving it until the last game. Protoss are the manliest race after all.

My guess:
Wings of Liberty: Rescuing Kerrigan
Heart of the Swarm: Destroying the Dominion
Legacy of the Void: Destroying the hybrids

Some troops?!

Don't know about you but I had a 200/200 supply army (that died about 5x times) and a Xel Naga artifact to help me!

Yeah... I really thought they were going to put some actual TENSION as to what Raynor wanted to do vs. what he would do to save the universe, but... then... apparently (according to the CE making of video), Starcraft is about a love story... What. The. Hell? Seriously, they can NOT have replayed SC:BW before making this game (even though they explicitly claim to have done so). I am very sad. I think that other than this one glaring flaw, I've calmed down a bit, and the story is pretty okay.

Zerg needed a face for the expansion and Kerrigan was the obvious choice since she's the only one that can communicate with both zerg and terrans. Her being "cured" is a convenient plot device to take away her power and make her start over from zerglings again in the expansion

For some reason at the start cutscene of the campaign I was all like KERRIGAN I WISH YOU WERE HUMAN AGAIN
And at the end I was like, remember the BW campaigns were you did all the missions for kerrigan while she trash talked everyone, that was fun as fuck.
God damn it. Seriously, If I saw the start cutscene then the end I bet I woulda been so happy. I also was a bit >.> at the cliche ending of him calling the helpless little girl (killed billions of people and the whole army of the UED) in his arms like a big strong man. Lol. But It was still cool.

I'm betting here - the Zerg campaign will feature Kerrigan slowly regaining control over the Zerg, with a lot of planets to visit to regain certain 'strains', a few sidequests that revolve around getting certain items, and a tiny bit of storyline at the end of the campaign. The Protoss campaign is the one I'm REALLY looking forward to, I feel the Zerg won't be exceptionally epic, and mostly a prolonged ZvZ with some old fan-favorites like Lurkers, Scourge, Devourers and maybe some 'hero' units like the Brutalisk and such.
Trying something wacky, expanding it, adjusting it, perfecting it -> Build order

I feel like this person.

You took the Overmind away from me, and now the Queen of Blades.

I guess if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Where can I find an infestor?

I actually agree with the guy on the first page about how Kerrigan will be involved.
But did any of you notice that Dr. Narud could be Duran?
Plus, the ending was soooooo unsatisfying. One of the first faces of StarCraft 2, who actually had a big part in the game died.....RIP Tychus, that guy was so badass.
One thing was, I wanted to play WoL also hoping that I could exact revenge on Kerrigan for killing Fenix and Duke. What happened to Raynoy saying he would one day kill her? WTF

Did people really expected Raynor to kill Kerrigan? I personally never saw human-Kerrigan and The Queen of Blades as the same person. Can you blame her for what she's done while infested?
It's clear they are shifting the villain role to the Xel'naga (or whatever) and I'm fine with that, because I never saw the zerg as evil anyway.

Tychus was a big part.... wtf. Just cause he had a lot of dialog didn't mean he was a big part. He was just a pain in the butt grunt that played one small part (dying! while trying to save his butt from mengsk).

And WTF BLIZZ. I am so pissed at that ending. Half the dominion army does what no combined ued/protoss/dominion army could before? Seriously... I don't care if you have an artifact....

And is anyone else remotely pissed at how the campaign played out story wise.

Ie the whole lets go around doing stuff for money and no other reason. There was no motivation to get those artifacts apart from money for over half the campaign. In that time zerg invade and we still go after money missions. Why wasn't there more interaction between kerrigan and raynor. Especially seeing as they talked plenty before. Why wasn't it revealed earlier that the artifacts could stop kerrigan. Would make more sense than .... do it for money while everything you fight for is put on hold.

And if you are the son of mengsk wanting to use raynor why would you not use a com to chat with him when in range of his ship instead of letting him board you and slaughter your troops before he comes into your room to kill you? And what retarded space captain goes and attempts boarding a ship without trying to hail it or cripple it first? 3 battle cruisers and he didn't think to hail them first or shoot? Nope just board. Who writes this retardation?

I look forward to how they solve it all. But I don't have a lot of faith for the quality of the story based off this. I am sure they will wrap it up neatly... but I just think its going to be very..... unbelievable (unbelievable for even that universe, for those who say its starcraft its not real).

I did love the cinematics.... they were purdy. And zeratul and kerrigans interaction was great. Just need more major players interacting rather than this obsession with grunts chatting away.
