Hit post without thinking- what I'm getting at here is there is no way the campaign was too long. Hurry up its raid night is a testament to that.

Seriously Blizzard, it should have been LONGER. HARDER. FASTER. I think I've played through this campaign about 4 times now (including my other account), and I just started brutal (it's easier than I thought it would be). It's really not fair that you make an awesome 29 mission long Terran campaign then skimp on the Zerg content, not fair at all. | ||

Noone is interested in Raynor flying around raiding random toss tribes or running errands for minerals. You´re so right. Also the story got no rhythm. Everytime you got your ass safe from some big trouble, the next moment your relaxing at the cantina, everything is where it was before... There only a few exceptions (after killing dr. Hanson, after unveiling the Hybrid bred by Arcturus, after friending with Valerian). And those moments are great, by the way. As some SC:L editor said, people in WoL are too much like gameplay features, not enough like ficcional characters living a story. Too bad WoL´s rhythm (pace) and (most) side characters were so bad. The enviroment was quite emersive. Everytime the characters actually had emotions, like when everyone is pissed of about you siding with Valerian, it was so freaking awesome I nearly pissed myself. In a nutshell, make a good story (where things HAPPEN, btw), don´t ruin the campaing´s pace, and people will play 40 missions. | ||

Second time around i went for the achievement (hurry up its raid night) and done the campaign in about 5.5 hours how can that possibly be too long? WoL isnt strictly 29 missions as there are options to skip a large portion as well as some missions are one or the other, which i thought was specifically for those people that found it to be too long. I went for the achievements because i found there wasnt enough missions and they werent challenging enough, really am dissapointed that people thought the exact opposite. Forces me play multiplayer instead, which isnt a bad thing i guess :D | ||

Raynor Joins Tychus in artifact shopping Helps Tosh find his drinking buddies Tries to hit on that doctor chick Goes inside Zeratul Helps Matt deal w/ his ex Breaks into TV stations to stop censorship Goes to Char to get his old gf back Doesn't sound like much was accomplished. Kinda sounds like my typical holiday weekend. | ||

I personally loved the SP but thought the sidequests were kind of sporadic and didn't tie into the plot at all. Perhaps we could go back to the SC1 days where the campaign was basically a linear campaign, none of the tangents that made no sense stuff. I could be down with 20 linear missions rather than what, 20 random sidequests and only 9 missions that have relevance to the plot. | ||

So all I can say is give me more! Even side quests with no value to the main plot are good if they have their own interesting sub plot. | ||

If they really decided to cut down the SP and sell it at the same price as WoL, i am not sure that i will still get HotS. As a huge (HUGE) fan of zerg i am not gonna support blizzard's shitty attitude on finalizing this zerg expansion. | ||

The WoL campaign consisted of 10 missions with 19 optional side missions that told a very boring short story and had nothing to do with the rest of the plot. even the choices in those 19 didnt matter. IE dr hanson saving her colony. or Toshs mission chain. the core of the story was jimmy's revolution and fighting the zerg. so basically the first 2 missions, the incredibly lame plot arc where you collect 5 artifacts that do something extremely stereotypical in a scifi story and char. and thats the only missions that form some sort of overall plot in SC2. Now the zeratul missions were good though entirely optional, and foreshadow into the real plot that most SC fans cared about. but overall WoL was lacking drastically in the plot department. not to mention with a 100% complete of all the missions on brutal only takes around 9 hours... which is the even sadder part... if they shorten it any further, why dont they just make a movie? and save gamers the issue of sitting through 4 hours of pointless babble by dr hanson claiming she can save her people, while the protoss say no she cant. exactly my thoughts. WoL was short! the too long BS is because they had too many side quests and made the main story look out of point and draggy. *edit* most of the missions were not fun for me, i didn't enjoy single player. hots is priced the same as wol?? how can it be called an expansion then? doesnt blizzard know what's happening in the world economy and the US? Whatever blizzard says its doing, its not for the fans! not 1 fan would agree with this BS they are trying to pass off. | ||
