doesn't Blizzard do all their cinematics in-house? this honestly looks like something maybe Blizzard lended to an outside company and then scrapped it and now the outside company releases it just for shits or something. This seriously looks like garbage. Like it's not even satisfying. Is it really going to take a whole nother game just to take down Mengsk, who got boned in WoL? I was expecting to take him down in WoL, honestly I thought that's what the game was going to end up being about, but no, they had to try to make it more epic and stir shit up with the Zerg.
Metzen is so cocky too, his stupid Blizzcon lore panels are like 45 minutes of him dodging questions (both current and future games, really he doesn't even understand his own storylines - "wow that's a really good question!.....":awkward long pause as he conjures up excuse and then the other 15 minutes are him being like "OHHH JUST WAIT SHITS GONNA GET REAL" but then the storyline ends up playing out like something I wrote in 4th grade. Still I have faith that even if this was real, Blizzard would see the reaction and just change it.

Yea it can be much better, but I expect Kerrigan to kick some ass in the last scene lol.
why are ppl complaining about the ending? we already knew that Kerrigan will be on the protagonist side, isn't peace the ultimate ending? and ofc thats not necessary true cuz they have another expansion afterward.
The "leaked" video is so dumb. I have a hard time believing this is the real ending, but more likely something that got scrapped. Notice how kerrigan is infested again? she lost much of her zergy look at the end of WOL.

Becouse of the same reason why people are complaining about Uwe Boll's movies or Lady Gaga's songs. Last time i saw so bad dialogs when i was playing Empire Earth 1 russian campaign (ok, that was even more cheese and ridiculus than that, but not so far). Ending is not that what i expected about the serie, but that's horrible dialogs is the thing that really killed me there.

because this Kerrigan
is much better than the "This isn't vengeance, Arcturus. This is justice!" Kerrigan
Blizzard is going to have to do a hell of a job to make people hate Arcturus in HotS for the leaked ending to work well because they did a horrible job of making Arcturus evil in WoL and they did not do enough to humanize Kerrigan in order for us to care about Kerrigan getting turned back human.
At least when Orcs became good guys in Warcraft 3, there was now the Undead who could never be anything but evil. In fact, now that I think about it, the similarities between the Orcs and Zerg are just way too numerous.
The only way this could get worse in Legacy of the Void is if the Dark Voice (Burning Legion), no longer able to enslave the Zerg to do its bidding (Orcs) finds some new weapon to make the hybrid do whatever he wants them to do (Undead).
It is so booooring. NO CREATIVITY AT ALL. It is just a copy/paste approach. Very similar to the first ending. I am sure it is real because this is exactly Blizzards style in the last years - just copy and paste...
So can we agree that WarCraft now has a better continuous storyline than StarCraft (because of how bad WoL was and how bad HoTS is likely to be in terms of SP)? Okay, maybe WoW ruined WarCraft.

OH GOD WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN to Diablo 3?!?!
It's already happening. Have you read any of the Diablo books or watched the Demon Hunter teaser? Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

That's what I was thinking too (at some point they were still planning for SC2 to be a single game, am I right?), but if that's the case I don't see why Blizzard can't just come out and say it instead of making everyone think it's the next game's ending.

I'd like to point out that because Blizzard has taken the effort to call their lawyers to shut down the sites that have been posting the video (except Kotaku), it is HIGHLY likely a legit video.

that's a lot more plausible. i'd expect HotS to have another cliffhanger ending to make us want the Protoss campaign.
i actually hope this is real. and that the leak is big enough to make blizzard re-write a bit of the written HotS story so that the ending wasn't revealed 15 months before the game came out.
