I'd like Blizzard to add some sort of plot to the game. This one was basically "Whoa! Save your girlfriend and help a bunch of random inconsequential losers!". I didn't really like the scene where Valerian talks about saving Kerrigan. To me, it was a scene that was designed to generate hype but inhibit higher thought. And then Raynor gets all angsty and makes himself out as a hero working against all odds. When he actually had OP medics (just kidding, but it felt like the story arc was designed to make the player think "Wow, I didn't expect that! I wonder what will happen next" when there weren't very many plot twists). | ||

I'd rather have a game with more content and time taken to develop it than a game which comes out earlier than expected. | ||

Don't tell me you don't read 300+ page novels because they're too long and you only have 1-2 hours a day to read. The beauty of single-player games is they're made to be played at your own pace. This ain't no MMORPG where you have to dedicate to a tight schedule to advance your character and see more of the plot. If it took you a whole month to finish where others would spend under a week, that's fine and dandy! The important question should be: was it enjoyable? Were you eager to keep coming back for more the next day? Or are we truly in an era where the public's attention span is limited to CoD-type short as balls games? | ||

Exactly...we get to wait like 5 years or something to see the end of the game because people wanted something epic. Now we're going to get that same amount of time but get a shorter campaign like it was in SC and BW (where we got 3 races in one zip).... Its probably the first time Im mad at blizzard but if we wait for so long and then get a shorter thing....well I have to live with it but I'll be mad  and sad...and rage a little bit too. | ||

Just because you don't have time to finish it in 3 days doesn't make it too long, you should be glad that you're one of the people lucky enough to have the awesomeness ahead of them for so much longer. | ||

First of all 1-2 hours a day i wouldn't call casual, but lets not get into definitions now. Lets say for good order completing complete single player is 10hours playtime (getting some achievements too). Why is having to spend 5-10days (1-2hours a day) to much? Its a 60 euro game, why does it have to be so casual someone can finish it in 2hours? I dont see whats wrong with people casually playing a game they enjoy and spending weeks finishing it. | ||

The HotS Campaign will be much more casual, bet your ass on it. But I hope Brutal will be a challenge. I highly doubt only 0.2% have done it on Brutal. It's not THAT hard. I have friends who have beaten it with no huge problems in as low leagues as Gold, without even playing Terran. Pretty sure that would cover a little more than 1/500 players -.- Edit: More specifically, I mean that if you want to play on Brutal, most players can finish it. It's a matter of will, not skill. | ||

There are just so many reasons why somebody doesn't finish the campaign that aren't "it's too long", for example: some people are simply not interested in the campaign, others are disappointed by the story, yet others bought the game as their first rts and they just aren't really interested in that genre. I'd bet that only a small percentage of people that didn't finish the campaign did so because it took them too long. | ||
