Oh god damn it all to hell. What a fucking terrible ending.

I think I'd be hard-pressed to think of a time when I was so disappointed in my entire life.

I mean really. I just cannot express how incredibly terrible that ending is. I seriously don't think there is a language in the world with the proper words to properly describe what a piece of shit that is. This is just infuriating.

I was really excited for Wings of Liberty but the terrible story and plotholes made me very sad. It's too bad Blizzard isn't willing to patch the story of the game, it's in need of a lot of fixing. The terribleness of Heart of the Swarm's ending isn't even a surprise anymore. It's like Blizzard gave up any effort at crafting a story that is internally consistent and not awful.

*Hugs*

We all need hugs to cope with this.

The thing I want to know about is that at the end Kerrigan said she no longer had control over the zerg; WTF is controlling the zerg then? They are a hive mind and cannot physically function as individuals. Furthermore 12 years of BW has ingrained in me that Zerg are hardwired to assimilate and take over every living thing they find, no amount of retconning can possibly change such a fundamental characteristic of the zerg. Assuming that is the case, then only logical storyline for the protoss expansion is that the zerg wipes all the shit out and takes over the whole galaxy while protoss barely hangs on for dear life, kind of like PvZ's current status. Someone pls explain this to me, I could care less about the love interest and shitty cutscenes as long as the overarching storyline makes logical sense, which it doesn't right now.

This may simply be a single possible ending for HoTs, but it is not final. It is also quite possible that they have more then one of these and will never see the light of day. To me, while there are snippets that point to it being from WoL, I do believe that it is from HoTs. I only say that because with how I figured the story will progress, it fits the bill. It goes with the story and compliments it. But, I can be mistaken, all of us can be.

I can live with retcons that improve the story, but they retconned everything to make the story worse. So painful.

At least the gameplay has been great so far.

That looks very legit. Terrible though. Did they not realise what a gem thier original plot was?

This was so.... weak... but with the way they retconned a lot of the back story to make the WoL story play out i can't really say i'm at all surprised...

i'm a disappointed fan

Well, I'm definitely not surprised. The bad storytelling and dialogue that we saw in WoL doesn't just go away. Luckily for us we get to endure it for two more expansions!

Just watched that D3 hunter reveal trailer, and wow, so so bad. It seems like D3 will suffer the same fate. Oh how the mighty have fallen

Does anyone else think this is 100 times better than WoL? I can't wait for HotS.

Wow, epic plot holes all over the place. I thought at first this was an alternate ending to WoL but... eh.

Wasn't she de-infested? How is she now re-infested?

Okay, okay. Turns out Diablo was once a peaceful and caring steward of the lands, then he was corrupted by the ancient alien evil that wants to KILL EVERYONE and turned into such a horrible demon.

As random adventurers, you must assemble the ~~Xel'Naga~~ Horadric artifact so that you can ~~deinfest~~ uncorrupt Diablo, who will still have some control over the ~~Zerg~~ demons, who will become your allies in the next game, where you'll have DEMON CLASSES. Final act of the series - Tyrael, Diablo, and you and your party defend this artifact for 30 minutes while the ~~demons~~ ancient alien evil tries to kill you, and then after 30 minutes it explodes and turns all demons on Sanctuary back to normal.

But all is not well, for a hastily drawn peace is established between the humans, and the hellspawn, thus leading to... + Show Spoiler +

World of Diablo.

you, my friend, are a genius!

Wait, let me get this straight. People watch a leaked, unfinished mock-up of the ending for HotS and without having the context of playing the rest of the campaign, are calling it shit? Do you guys also sneak into a restaurant's kitchen, eat the raw meat, and then say that the restaurant's steak is terrible?

Okay, the writing is still terrible, goddamnit Blizzard. Goddammit.
