I just watched all the cinematics on youtube, the story itself seemed a lot more appealing to me. I haven't been following much of HotS, you guys all seemed to be trashing everything about the game, when clearly it's definitely improved. I dunno what you're expecting...

Yeah, exactly my thoughts.

It doesn't play like starcraft. Boss battles where you dodge abilities as if you were playing WoW or D3. Constant hero missions that felt more like playing necromancer in D2 where your minions are just there for the fun but your hero does everything. Lots of pointless missions, especially the stupid evolution missions, where you basically just a-move your way through.

The campaign is bad, really bad. I'd say it's an even bigger disappointment than Diablo 3.

The story... well, it didn't convince me either. It's extremely contrived, even more than WoL.

Well, at least there is multiplayer.

Lol I still have to go to work and then pick up my copy in the afternoon, wtb your life.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

And have you tried doing the Mastery category achievement, that's the hard part, I think that's what the "Master Archive" is for, as far as I see a lot of those achievements are straight impossible with normal play on first play through, maybe some have easy tricks I don't know about.

A progamer steam rolled through the campaign and now its too ez. Am i missing something?

I remember the last mission i think in BW i was looking at the guide and it literally said, save here and bum rush the overmind with the 200 army of terran and the 200 army of toss. Do not try and take a head on engagement because if you lose, you can't beat the mission. Now that was hard. Or defending the xel'naga temple Without killing all the zerg before hand.

Just finished.

What I really really didn't like is that there is not a single mission that is a simple "macro up and go kill the other guy". Not one in 20. Every mission has some gimmick. And even the missions closest to that give you what... 2 bases max? And if you're lucky one will have 10 mineral patches.

There are thousands of this type of mission. They're located in the Multiplayer Campaign.

I did in the one where you had to collect terrazine gas biomass, and the hybrid lab missions. Mostly because I lost pretty much nothing. Final mission I never made it to 200/200 though (just... was able to win before reaching it), which I think is kind of a joke.

And if that's what starcraft is meant to be about, there should be missions like that in the campaign.

It was much easier than WoL IMO. Story and missions were okayish, but I'm still very disappointed that the overarching story for Starcraft 1 was a battle for the known universe and the survival of each species, while Starcraft 2 is a just a dumb love story with a 'dark looming threat on the horizon'. Why does everything have to be a love story? For the casuals? I seriously doubt that.

Less gimmicky missions than WoL overall, but still doesn't play like a real RTS. I wanna build shit vs harder and harder odds and just go fucking kill them. Didn't get to either expand or inject larva for some reason. Otherwise it was definitely better than WoL and worth playing though, even if it has nothing on the BW campaign. That's still by far the best RTS campaign ever made, with Warcraft 2 a close second.

Yes. That's what an RTS is all about. It's the entire point of the genre. If I buy an RTS, I want to play an RTS. The missions were also reasonably hard and generally required you to battle over resources and expand several times to win instead of this modern retard mode where you only play the objective and 'find all the thingies' with what you're given at the start of the map. BW = king.

Please notice that the HotS Singleplayer is for casual gamers at first
and even those hard or brutal difficulties are for very good casual gamers.

When i started the WoL campagin in 2010 i never really played any kind
of RTS games before, so the highest difficulties very pretty sick for me.

After years of SCII i can just laugh about it now. It seems like a total
different game.
