Also, I'm quite sure Blizzard won't pull a "Rocks fall, everyone dies" type of ending in LotV- Heck, even if they wanted to, Activision wouldn't let them do something like that to such a valuable franchise ^^;

Predictable and safe. Obviously, I wouldn't want random deaths, but imagine if Metzen had found a way to write a compelling version of WoL where Raynor dies at the end of that chapter.

Well, Metzen did design SC1 and WC3, and those two didn't exactly have happy endings. At least each one had a decent amount of character death in it.

activision doesnt control blizzard, i could definently see a "rocks fall everyone dies" ending for LoTV and end the story, or possibly pull a final fantasy and have SC3 take place in the same universe with same races but completely unrelated to the events of the koprulu secter

honestly i feel like this would be the best route to take.. I really won't be happy until everyone dies and some interesting (i.e. not the 'dark voice' stands upon a pile of smoldering corpses.. but i don't want the series to end, so this is the next best thing!

From Robert Clothworthy's Facebook timeline(may 2nd):
Looks like the Bourbon Cowboy will be back in the studio the middle of May.
I wonder what they got in store for Jimmy? I doubt they'll be giving him a lollipop and a can of cola.
What do you think?

They won't kill Raynor off and even if they did it would be in LotV, not HotS. I think Arcturus is 100% dead and it'll probably happen in HotS ending (Not like that leaked ending which made no sense though).

I sure hope they don't kill off Raynor, but even if they do I'm sure you're right that the series will go on. After all IMO its the best gaming series of all time.

Can't imagine they'd kill off raynor in part 2 of a 3 part game

Guys... you disappoint me. If Raynor isn't going down, he's gonna throught a lot of suffering. From HotS Official home page:
JIM RAYNOR
He risked everything to bring back the woman he loved, and against all odds, Raynor succeeded. However, Jim Raynor’s trials and tribulations are far from over.
Question is, what is going to happen to him? Who will deliver the coup? The Dominion? The Hybrids? Kerrigan?

hell die by taking a bullet meant for Kerrigan probably some time during HoTS

If I was one of the writers*, I would kill Jim Raynor in one of three ways:
a) Accidentally stepping on a spider mine in the Hyperion's armory while saying something silly to Rory.
b) After deciding to act like Captain America and pilot a viking, he would change it to ground mode and end up crushed in the process.
c) Accidental slip in the bathtub.
But of course, he should be dead already, because he was dumb enough to land on a planet who's star was going nova.
* (I would be very embarrassed after the hollywoodish and childish WoL storyline)
|
So you would redeem WoL's hollywoodish and childish plot with hipsterish and childish deaths.
Can work.
Me? I agree with the adjectives you crowned WoL with. But you forget that Blizzard knows what people thought of WoL and they will at least try not to do the same mistakes.

I was just kidding because, unfortunately, the whole story became a big joke.

I hate this attitude.
I've played both the WoL campaign, the original Starcraft campaigns, and the Brood Wars campaigns several times each. I like the WoL campaign a lot better than its predecessors. Just like how BW fans used vomit hatred and contempt all over SC2 because SC2 is not SC1, do you really feel the need to take a piss on things other people genuinely cherish?
It's fine if you think WoL's campaign is "hollywoodish and childish"; you're entitled to your opinion. But going on to ridicule Jim Raynor and continue to state what "a big joke" the story is just for the heck of it is in bad fucking taste, especially on this site. Please tone that down.

I've also played the campaigns several times. I love Starcraft and I think that the multiplayer is really good; that's why I'm here. However, I didn't ridicule Jim Raynor, not more than Blizzard did.
For me, it's very frustrating to look at this amazing and rich universe,full of possiblities, that is the world of the starcraft, and then looking at the underwhelming and uninspired story that was delivered. I cannot be satisfied with that. Let me also add that for me, the BW plot is also not very good, specially due to all the unlikely and unrealistic alliances.
Other than that I didn't meant to offend anyone, you are obviously free to enjoy the story.

kerrigan getting a ghost suit and the hydralisk emerges from the ground was both in the leaked ending. blizzard's stories died with wc3tft. i am so sad, diablo 3 and sc2 story could have been much more epic. Blizz hire me, ill write for you!

the leaked hots ending hadn't a hydralisk in it.... or which ending do yoü mean?

blizzard's stories died with wc3tft
Its sad but I kind of agree, WC II and WC III where great story telling TFT began to suck and then it was a huge spiral downwards with WoW. WoW who was so poses to be a (MMO) Role play game simply lived of the story that was previously generated and when they added something new it was like what the fuck ?
Diablo in my opinion never had this great lore but I always enjoyed the great rendering sequences.
The Tyrael fighting with Baal and diablo sequence would be in my top 3 gaming video sequences off all times. <3
As for SC II I never really got in the story of SC I or BW and the story of SC II was to shallow or none at all really...
