I thought the characters were way too one dimensional in sc1 the way they presented them I think the hots was overall not bad, it was really interesting to see so many sides of the zerg. some parts felt too short but overall not bad and not enough toss in it | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ... that very little important stuff happened. Summarize of Hots: - Kerrigan becomes human, but keeps Zerg power. Dominium attack secret Umojan Lab, where She is; - Jim dissapears, probably dead; - Kerrigan goes to Char to regain power; - Kerrigan goes to Zerus (Zerg Homeworld) to regain true power; - Kerrigan learns truth about Xel'Naga on Skygeir Platform - Kerrigan invades Korhal and kill Mengs (Raynor alive!) Thats everything that happened worth mentioning. Try to summarize BW in six points. BW had so much more story development that it makes me said But as I said, campaig was fun.  | ||

What a good story . Maybe because back then it is just text and voice recording, it feels a lot longer. I am play HOTS right now. Story seems ok though i saw all the cinematic already. Though really looking forward to Void and see how the story ends. | ||

Did Jim actually die? They can't kill off Jim! Especially in such a discarded way like that... :/ | ||

As you've pointed out, the ending cinematic contains some of the the cheesiest dialogue ever written. It's just awful. High school students could do better. Oh, thank god they remove the "THIS IS JUSTICE!" line. The leaked cinematic is one of the worse and cheesiest endings I've ever seen. Even in the context of playing the entire campaign, had that ending been put into the game it would have destroyed whatever creditability Blizzard's story department had left. But, I'm so glad that it got leaked because that seems to have motivated them to change some of the worse parts of the cinematic. The "THIS IS JUSTICE" line is gone. And they removed the Disneyesque speech at the end where the zerg are now the good guys, replacing it with a brooding preview about what's to come in LotV -- a showdown with the Dark Voice, Amon. Also, Mengsk's switch being connected to the Artifact (last seen in the possession of Nurad in the book) instead of some unknown girl in a water tank makes a lot more sense. I prepared for the most poorly executed ending ever, but with the changes they've made I was thoroughly surprised and very satisfied with the ending. It was a well made ending. Disaster averted. | ||

That's sequel setup in my eyes. And tbh, I would welcome Earth coming back - at least its not a xelnaga god rofl + Show Spoiler + If the UED does return, all the campaign missions in SC3 will be XvT, and I'm not sure how many people will be happy with that. But at least they aren't just having the UED storyline finish without a road to follow. From watching people stream the campaign, the story does seem pretty interesting, albeit typical in some ways. I liked how it expanded on the history of the Zerg greatly, and expanded on the Xel'Naga storyline greatly, and actually gave a real idea of who the villain is. The ending was decent actually, better than the original one they tried to attempt. I guess having it leaked gave Blizzard the opportunity to receive criticism and work around the mistakes. | ||

But at least they aren't just having the UED storyline finish without a road to follow. UED can be highlighted as completely new campaign faction with their buildings and units. Like Naga in WC3. | ||

1. Inconsistency with with Kerrigans character. They show her at times feeling remorse and sometimes just sparing innocents. Yet during some missions she needlessly kills innocents without feeling anything (i.e. the evolve missions where they just slaughter random protoss) 2. How stupid are bad guys seriously? Mengsk and Warhound both said like "U're gonna die (basically)" probably 20x throughout the entire campaign, even when Kerrigan was breaking down their front door. Also their strategies just sucked, I mean I know Kerrigan has to win at the end but an 8 year old playing risk make better battlefield commanders than those guys 3. The script. "We what do we now my queen?" "We kill them all" ... *facepalm* | ||

I'm supposed to break people out of a prison , and the game tells me to do so i should to infest other prisoners ? WTF ? I was like fuck no and just made it without using it because it just didn't fit at all. + Show Spoiler + especially when Valarian and Horner just kinda nodded . | ||

On March 12 2013 23:06 PureLuckz wrote: I am incredibly disappointed in the story with HoTS and SC2 in general. They really went out of their way to force Kerrigan into a "good guy" role. Yeah she was probably the most popular character in SC and BW, but you know what got her there? She was a badass villain and a bitch, which was pretty unique for a female video game character back then. Somewhere along the lines they decided that people only liked her because of her ass and then threw in a very cheesy romance plot. The worst part was that they destroyed Raynor's character as well just to get romance into the game. Were they that afraid that no one wants to play the villain in a 3 faction game? Did they not notice how popular Kerrigan got while she was the cruel villain? Did they really have to do all that to the story just to force this cheesy romance plot on us? At the end of the day it's their story, but wow did they drop the ball on it. She really isn't placed into a good guy role. She is more taken out of her pure villain role and placed more towards neutrality. Won't do bad shit for shits and giggles but still will do them when they are necessary to her goals. She is more powerful then her original form but she has more....humanity? I guess. They did say that the whole swarm was purified of the Amon taint so maybe that had to do something with it as even her minions weren't quite as blood thirsty and were more inclined to learn as they gained greater cognitive power. It will be interesting to see what they do with the third installment since its "the Protoss expansion" but obviously the Zerg will be huge part of it (Terran are kinda in disarray atm but Raynor sure as hell will do something). Is this the last expansion or will there be another "all races v Big Bad Evil God" type? On March 13 2013 12:21 ticklishmusic wrote: jim and sarah too cute 5ever plz I think they have laid some setup to where its possible for this ending if they want to heh. I mean they already have had several interactions between Kerrigan and Zagara about her wanting to lead. All she needs is to learn more (and Kerrigan made them all smarter) so who is to say some good Xel Naga guys come right at the end after the baddie is destroyed and says "Oh Hai guys thanks for killing Amon, dude was a dick. Btw you want us to remove the Zerg part of yourself so you can be human again? Its the least we could do since we didn't help out in the final battle LOL" | ||
