The Marines, and most of the Terran military, are backwater yokels, convicts, or both. They come across as the type of people that would say these cheesy lines thinking they sound cool doing it. It's fitting that they'd say these stupid things with straight faces. Meanwhile, at least from what I've seen (admittedly not much) the more learned characters have less cheesy dialog like Mengsk. Maybe less cheese would be better, but I think if you look at it in the way it's portrayed it's somewhat fitting. Go back and watch some of the cinematics from SC1, the general human (Terran and UED) troops are generally portrayed as very stupid or silly, "I love you sarge!" It's only the high ranking officials like DuGalle that sound refined. | ||

edit: But at the same time I can see it as a style they've gone with. I think it's an attempt to give Terran an abundance of character; stereotyped, cliched, and cheesy, but it's an easy way to give a strong sense of certain character. Heavily influenced by Firefly. | ||

Wow this post I am quoting sounds like something I would have written exactly... get out of my head. Yeah same, I think I said "fuck you reporter" about 10 times so far. lol | ||

What part of Half-Life was the good writing? It's some of the hackiest story out there. | ||

I agree I was expecting much more in SC2 looking at the budget but now it just feels like a waste of money. | ||

But the story is ok. Not the best, but there were some sillynes on sc and bw campaigns too. Some things are even cool, some lame. But overall I like it. Also the missions are getting better and better and I love how they are very different and not just "mass 200 food army and A-move to victory" On July 29 2010 03:06 ShinnHachirou wrote: This.

The sp story is ok and the mp is insanely good so.. Waste of money, really? | ||

Brutal may not be impossible, but some missions are challenging. And honestly, its quite polished and well made, SC1 just has nostalgia... agreed. it's so true that nostalgia is what causes people to think SC1 storytelling & campaign is so much better.. same can be said for the "golden age of gaming" argument thread.. people are always going to view every aspect of their past and their childhood as so much better than the present purely due to nostalgia.. guarantee if you take the nostalgic factor out and take someone who's never played either game and have them play each campagin for the first time they will 100% of the time say SC2 campaign and storytelling is far better.. if fact i think a lot of the people who are refusing to play SC2 because BW is "sooooo" much better are very much influenced by the nostalgic factor yet they don't even realize it.. | ||

You probably just have fond childhood memories of playing the sc1 campaign, which is why you don't see the flaws in sc1's storytelling. Amen. Re-living or re-watching childhood favorites can be a really surprising and perspective altering experience. And it doesn't even have to involve childhood. When I played diablo 2 recently I was shocked by how poor the graphics are as I remembered it as this really top-notch graphical environment. | ||

I've wanted revenge ever since she killed Duke and Fenix. Now we have to side with her... again? She already played zeratul. Jim Raynor: "It may not be tomorrow darling, it may not even happen with an army behind my back, but rest assured, I'm going to be man that's going to kill you one day. I'll be seeing you." I shouldn't have clicked that quote, couldn't you have done [ spoiler=??? ] instead of just a plain spoiler like the post below?  | ||

Fundamental difference between persistent FPS and mission-based RTS, I guess. You're not a single-character in a big story. You're an army in a big story participating in the life-story of the main characters. You're not actually anyone in the story, you act as essentially a proxy for the main characters. That's pretty much the definition of non-immersive, and they haven't pretended to be anything else. | ||

I'll give them credit for the length of the campaign and I guess that making the Zerg more three dimensional is good, but it takes away the sheer terror that they brought with them in SC1. + Show Spoiler + It really does feel like WC3 though, only this time we find that Arthas was created specifically to fight the Burning Legion. Not to mention it retcons Tassadar's death a little, he was supposedly destroyed so utterly that no trace of him remained, physically or psionically, yet he appears as a ghost. Zeratul the time traveler seems pretty silly too. just for the record, zeratul aint time traveling, these are visions of him we replay | ||

I've played about 6 missions and I think I'm just gonna skip the talk on the rest of them and just go for upgrades and missions. The only regret is missing the story but I'm spending most of my time wincing so I'm not paying much attention to it anyway. | ||
