Has anyone noticed drones nom nom noming minerals in UI portrait?. I laughed so hard when I first saw it. In-game model of rollin banelings are also a cute bunch.
Aren't they so cute!
Though I find zerg untis in SC2 rather quiet and they aren't scawey and creepy anymore.
No more eyeball from SC1, no more harsh metallic voice of overmind. no more chirping zerg uints! no more gritty atmosphere!
I know there is technical limit for 3d games to express things and there has to be difference between style of 2d sprites and 3d rendring but why not make sound more exciting for zerg in SC2? What do I mean by exciting? I don't know.
MAN, I already feel nostagic for old zerg.
P.S: I noticed that sound sample similiar to spire structure from sc1 is in one of SC2 zerg BGM.
tl;dr
-----
zerg is cute bunch in sc2
zerg is creepy bunch in sc1
|
Yeah they became PG. Too late to make em menacing now.
|
I find mutalisks cute in the lack of harass they can do compared to mutalisks in starcraft 1. Ultralisks in sc2 are much scarier than ultralisks in sc1 though...
|
Blizzard needs to make money selling plushies.
I don't see the big shock.
Most sc2 units are cute.
|
Just because now That's a girl that leads Zergs, they have to be cute :p
see her stroking her cute hydralisk!
|
I've seen someone asking for zerg plushies on official sc2 forum.
Personally I would like to have one as well.
|
Zergies! i have to protect them from the evil terrans.
|
overlord licks the screen like a puppy :3
|
portrait-wise i wouldn't want to look at a zergling the wrong way. even though in game they just look like crickets
|
i agree, zerg (and every other race) is very pg13.
also, in regards to unit portraits, the slave scv's are no longer black Rofl.

but I don't find overlord cute but rude instead cuz he is giving me his saliva with full of anaerobic bacteria that must habe ein pungent odor!
I want to talk about protoss of SC2.
I don't find them exotic anymore because they have become too talkative! they just talk like humies and tehy feel like draenei from WoW.
I may sound like complaining but I m just telling how I felt about sc2 while comparing it to sc1.
I like sc2.

lings = meh... speed lings on creep move crazy fast, i suppose their legs moving that fast is cute
roaches = fat, fat things are naturally cute
hydras = FAT compared ot sc1, thus, cuter
ultralisks running = cutest.

I agree, I would definitely buy a probe plushy, they are adorable. I think the main reason that I play Protoss is because I want to protect all of the little probes from harm, I know they're robots but it doesn't matter. 
|
Yeah, I hate cute, so I enjoy cutting zerglings in halves with my upgraded psi blades.
|
They look cute except for in the protraits. I mean overseer looks soooo creepy. But their ingame models look like they could be made into plushies
Especially the ultra

oh my what a great picture =D
yes zergys are very adorable now, i lurv them!
|
To be honest they've always been cute. Zerglings hopping around like little bunnies in the original and be honest, who doesn't want a flying crab?

They look a little cute perhaps... until your Ultra cuts those marines into gory pieces.
Also I really REALLY love the Zerg sound effects, they're downright nasty with all the plopping and splatting noises.

I remember someone saying zerg units have diarrhea in sc2.
|
I agree except for the changeling which haunts my dreams. Maybe the corrupter also.
|
They do look cute once you get used to them
My girlfriend thought they looked quite disgusting :D
|
the ultras are so big and puffy :D
|
zerg have to look like this

if you look at the ultra, he is just a big fat body with a tiny tiny little face
|
I dunno about the ultralisk being cute thing...
It's like Day[9] says...
"If ultralisks in scbw were cows, then ultralisks in sc2 are like fucking elephants"
roaches however, are pretty cute. speedlings are also ridiculously funny with their hoppity hop running sometimes I just wanna zoom in and track their hopping

God i've been dying for this thread. zerg doesnt feel 'right ' anymore now-.-

err... everyone refers to ultras as elephants in bw.. lol
i think what day9 meant was elephants->mammoths? :S lol

Zealots also have a much more PG appearance than in BW. In BW their legs moved fast and awkward which gave them this menacing stride. Now, they take long, graceful strides like African antelope ninjas enjoying the summer's whimsical fresh air.

what?!
WHAAAAT?
My mind is blown.
I mean calling antelope's african is slightly redundant since they mostly reside in Africa, but NINJAS? Jeez.

Ultralisks..look sort of cutish the way they attack building with their head,and when they move the way they shake their butts just looks so comical :D
|
I seethe with testosterone, but even I'd get a zergling plushie if it was done right.

I don't get it either. I honestly don't get any of these complaints. Sounds a lot like nitpicking to me.

Yeah, when I looked at lings in SC1, they looked like little killing machines, but now, they look like a small bug u want to squish. And mutas, they looked terrifying and badass in SC1, but now, they look like paper kites, and die like them too. And corruptors are so much worse than devourers. Devourers just look totally awesome. Only unit that got scarier is the ultralisk. Heck, even the queen was better looking. Not as useful, but better looking

You know you can't zoom out but can zoom in! aww so cute! let's give activision all our money NAO!
|
have you looked at the ultralisk?
|
No my fellow Protoss and Terran, don't fall for this evil trap! Must . . . resist . . . cuteness . . .
|
But the Zerg in SC1 looked more like funky animals than "menacing killing machines".
Apart from the lurker its hard to take any of them seriously as a threat. Look at the ling, the ultra, the queen or the muta. It's more bizarre and... sad... than threatening.
The SC2 Overlord is very adorable, though, especially when you ask 20 of them to stand by the same building.
|
the marauder really makes me lol when it runs, huffing and puffing
|
Banelings are kind of cute with their rolling, I'll give you that. Doesn't stop me from shitting a brick when they're rolling toward my mineral line or my bioball.
|
select some zerglings and type "/dance"
you'll just piss yourself with how cute it is lol

How about them daylings? Picture please?
|
The reason is simple:
It's easy to kill something that's ugly, but a part of you dies inside when you shoot an adorable baneling in the face. Psychological warfare, everyone. They're attacking us on all fronts now.

I have to admit I was somewhat fond of the early alpha Zerglings with the fluttery wings. They reminded me of a swarm of locusts. I also must say that when I first saw Speedlings on creep (In that Blizzcon 2v2 video, I think) I was assured that this was the awesomest thing ever.
Anyway, I have no idea how anybody can say Zerglings looked more threatening in Brood War. Or more anything, really. Seriously, that was a little ball of pixels if it was anything. And what's worse, the cinematics had Zerglings be some kind of stick figure with a Hydralisk head or something. I spent twelve years not having the slightest clue what a Zergling should look like.
Rolling Banelings are adorable though. This much I cannot deny.
|
well the cuteness is proof that zerg was done half assed cos units like the corruptor and roach are pretty ugly, whereas infestor, drone, lings, blings ar all rolly polly cute
|
My main concern with the cosmetics of the game is the sound. Its just not memorable at all. The roar of ultras hitting shit and the fast clunk clunk of cracklings killing a Nexus is just not there anymore. I wish the sounds were cooler but w.e.
|
Brood lords look like squishy harmless manta rays with butterfly patterns on their flippers(wings?)
aww...Yea definitely less menacing looking than the flying tarantula it replaced.
I also feel like marauders have a chubby cartoonish thing going on. But I still think no SC2 unit is cuter than the Reebuuuhhhrrr.

Zergs so cuteeeeee :3
Need Zerg plushies now ;;
|
Hydralisks are curled up when you unload them from an overlord and they uncurl when they hit the ground. Like cats. So cute.
|
I want to see a mod NOW that makes the zerg creep spread flowers on it also so it can add to the general Zerg cuteness.

Lol @ this thread.
I love the way drones wiggle when they collect minerals ^^
|
Brood Lords and Corrupters are so graceful in the air as well, they look way to elegant just swaying back and forth. The only ugly unit is the infested terran and that hardly counts..
|
I just found Queen's portrait looks creepily beautiful and cute...and banelings....they are adorable and make me wanna poke them...
|
|
|
I want the ultralisk plushie. Would be cool
|
To be honest, I love the sounds drones make. I could order them around all day, the sound is just so enjoyable
|
|
|
Nex that plushie hydralisk picture is adorable.
I agree with the general consensus; Zerg looks way too cute these days. I'd personally like to see the sharp feel from broodwar come back; I mean hatcheries had fangs, for god's sake.
Though I always did want a pet guardian :D
|
I love the Roach Waren. The cute little Roach always takes a look outside
|
If you guys ever play the custom map Run Ling Run, you can see the full extent of a cute baneling waddle.

The only ugly unit comes from contamination by Terran scum. Hmm....
xD

Back in Broodwar, I thought the zerg were cute, especially the zerglings. That is what differentiates between real zerg players and casual zerg players.
|
Surprised that nobody mentioned the new sunkens, a.k.a. spine crawlers
Their walking, poking, rooting animations are all quite funny and cute imo.
|
it's a million times better than the early build.
i kinda liked the sc1 zerg sounds, where the buildings sounded like someone clearing their bowells and hydralisks gobbing.
but i prefer the animations in sc2. the roach especially has a very 'creepy' running animation where the limbs twitch like a real insect. the swarming attack formation of zerglings is also amazing.
|
It's not just their physique that makes them cute. Even their voices make them cute. The first time I heard Roaches I was WTH? ^-^!
Zerg are a shadow of their former selves but in game only. Zerg in the cut scenes are a magnitude better and more frightening than the Zerg in the brood war cutscenes.

Very cute, I'd love a Zergling plushie or a stuffed life-size Hydralisk.
Perhaps an inflatable giant Ultralisk bounce castle thing?
Awesome.

We need a SCII mod for this =p
Also, when ultras attack buildings, it seems like they're hugging the buildings to death.
|
They're cute because they don't attack the Terran army like the zerg of bw, they just run up to hug and tickle them. A couple might die due to accidentally getting caught on their spines, but it's really pretty safe.

I'm sure there's a Toss unit with a gold fish in it's tank (in the UI portait). I can't remember which one it was though.
