Have to agree with the general consensus that the campaign got easier but the story got better. I really enjoyed playing kerrigan rpg style and will definitely go back at some point to try out some of her other abilities. Blizzard did a good job of making me "feel" like kerrigan and becoming stronger and part of the swarm. Can't wait for the story to finish!

In the interviews I remember blizzard emphasizing that WoL was more of a "ragtag" game where you were in control of a smaller group of soldiers (on the Hyperion) whereas in HOTS it should feel like you are in control of an entire army. But terran units in small combinations just lead to more challenging and interesting micro situations I think, so you had a lot of levels that felt like a mix of a puzzle but with varying degrees of micro/macro. Haven't beaten HOTS yet but so far it seems that zerg units (and the concept of the swarm) are just not as conducive for those kinds of experiences.

I don't get
Im not blizz nor ea fan (i actually hate them both) but the people who are saying 12-15 hours is little is the same kind of person that buys assassin's creed or tomb raider and finish them in 8 hours ...

Hero units do that to rts campaigns, didn't expected anything else. Campaign was really lovely and Blizzard not going out of line with the other studios and making the ending sequence "bad" (I liked the ending, but okay its not the real ending so they are of the hook for now)
+ Show Spoiler +
and spellcaster spells are above bw op, create free units, get energy, mind control everything after you secured it under a timewarp disruption web, if you win with 900 supply you win with style ... unless you have a bad computer like me that crashed at that point. WoL Marines dropping out of the sky are underpowered against what you got in HotS


Next playthrough I will try the campaign without any evolutions. And Burrow Sarah at the start. No one is forcing you to use the girls best friend skill tree

Campaign was okay, story was kinda meh, but finally covered up Mengsk (I goddamn hate this guy). That Belial camo was genius, haha.
At some point I was questioning myself why was I playing Wings of Liberty again? Playing through 20 missions to cure Kerrigan only to become Queen of Blades again. Wat?


Edit: Plus I was hoping Nova would get a bigger role in the plot. But naaaaw

Also Abathur best voice ever?


his voice reminded me of Anubarak a lot


Anyone know if Abathur's voice actor is the same guy who did Grunt from Mass Effect (Steve Blum, also did Spike in Cowboy Bebop). Sounds really similar but it could just be a voice filter.

All in all, a pretty fun campaign. They didn't blow me out of the water, but it was certainly worth the time and money, and I know I'll be going through it again a couple times for the master achievements. The Kerrigan RPG nature is something I'm not sure I like or dislike, it's interesting and keeps up a decent pace of action, but doesn't feel 100% refined. I could be delusional though.

But as I said, on the whole I had a good deal with the campaign. As far as difficulty goes I can't say, I only beat the game on Hard maybe having to restart once or twice, so I think I'll go see how Brutal treats me .

Zurvan wasn't too hard for me. I played on Hard difficulty so that might have to do with it but I 1-shot him. The campaign was really exciting to me, they went into an amazingly different direction and I was locked to my seat for 11 hours straight. That said I think the game's difficulty has almost a perfect balance, yet way different than WoL for some reason. I kind of liked it.

was quite unimpressed with the final missions finished the last 2 very easily in one shot

especially compared to all-in, that shit was like impossible took Artosis like 2 days to manage to finish it off

i feel all in all though the difficulty was good, there was a few missions i had had to redo to manage to finish it off but then i did it brutal first run

not that hard, jsut focus on dodging his fingers, remember they do friendly splash so use that to advantage

jsut focus on staying alive and keep your orig units as alive as possible and focusing on him

50 deaths and counting now... I seriously refuse to believe it's possible on brutal until I see video proof I must be missing something if everyone else thought it was relatively unchallenging

Those spawns that shoot acide + the ultralisks = instant GG, they destroy everything

On all the bosses I just let all my units die and solo'd them with kerrigan. Her heal ability is totally overpowered. I one shotted all the bosses (on brutal, not sure if that makes a diff)

anceint guy was pretty tought though

I managed to do that with something like 20 deaths, really important to keep your first unit alive as long as possible, splitting them into two groups and spamming spells 24/7

the campaign *feels* easy, but then again I've been playing this game since 2010 as Zerg. With that said, I'm enjoying the level-design so far. Keeping my expectations kind of low for the story and plot. There is no N-U-A...wait, no, there's an A in Blizzard. No N, C, or E, though. That spells Nuance. :D
