My first impression was how bad the basic cut-scenes were...but I've grown use to them. I think the missions are fun, ONLY hard if you try and get the achievements on a harder level. | ||

I think one of the problems is stretching a 10 mission story into a 26 mission campaign + a bunch of cinematics and such. So far it all seems a bit uninspired, though I'm still enjoying it.

Before at least he was somewhat cunning. EDIT: And anyone who says the dialouge is cheesy it was cheesy in SC and BW and every blizzard game for that matter. I don't think that's a bad thing, though  . | ||

I guess it's fortunate that for pretty much everyone ever into SC1, the single player campaign being fun and interesting was sort of an added bonus - it was always about the multiplayer experience.

Very annoying. | ||

The gameplay is pretty fun, but 'hard' was only actually hard for like 2-3 levels and the rest were really easy. I guess I will have to give 'brutal' a go and see if it is challenging enough for me. | ||

I was just replaying SC1 before SC2 launched and I was saying to myself, "This storytelling isn't as good as remember it." The storytelling in the sequel is leaps and bounds better. | ||

That's the vibe I got, like they just played Mass Effect and were like hey, this is pretty cool let's do something like this. And then it came out as a horrible tedious mess of a game with shitty characters and terrible writing. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it wasn't just a let down, it was a flat out bad experience and I don't ever want to play sp again. | ||

Obviously the single player is geared towards teenagers so a lot of us are going to find it childish. We're getting old, GG. Oh COME ON! The Protoss trusting Kerrigan and her enslavement of the Matriarch made complete sense! And just tell me, why WOULDN'T the overpowering armed forces of the dominion not recruit and trust the word of a lowly resistance fighter? And Stukov had CLEARLY gone completely insane without recourse and DuGalle's realization of his tragic mistakes was one of the most human moments in all of literary history! Oh and they used drugs to control the Overmind. DUH! | ||

The only thing you could draw from the media was that broadcasted speech where he says "I will rules this sector or se it burnted to ashes around me", although i did not forsee the fact that Mensk would insist on his status of emperor being selfless dedication to the people. WHAT KIND OF SMART EVIL MINDBENDING MASTERMIND WOULD EVER GO THAT ROUTE, ffs. Mensk is a huge dissapointment and overall i think that was what sc2 wings of liberty lacked. Some real evil (outside of the whole "Hybrids will end the woldlzzz 1111") outside of Findlays predicted "betrayal" i find it odd that raynor does not help his friend out of that explosive suit. | ||

The story is a bit lacking though, most of it just happens all of a sudden. I really loved Zeratul mini-campaign and i hope to see something like it in heart of the swarm =) | ||

Sc1 did have horrible voice acting but when it was good oh god was it ever good,voice dialog was pretty much the same accept it was generally decent. Sc2 on the other hand as average voice acting with puke worthy dialog and just so many "haha isnt that funny I C WHAT U DID" moments that you can't even take the plot seriously(remember the bomb cutscene in SC1?) they also went a bit overboard on the whole "easter egg" thing (IPOD marine/free bird on jukebox? etc) that it completely ruins any immersion I may have had | ||

There have been in my opinion very few games with genuinely good storytelling. The ones which do are almost always focused more on the gameplay, or are good because of its light-hearted, cutesy nature (Phoenix Wright lol). People seem to like the 'epic' stories that one might see in Final Fantasy, though, and having read a few pages of FFVII's script I can only >_>. Heavy Rain, too, was pretty bad. | ||
