Multiple approach games usually end up being really short for me, as I usually just like the sneaky approach. What content is preorder paywall though ? x.x If its the bonus items then ... nvm. Nintendo is pretty good at making a really dark plot that looks like happy happy land. So there is something for everyone in it. Blizzard does the same. In any case it will always go past someone who doesn't even want to look at it. Best example is people that like the Sc1 story and dislike the Sc2 story. Because they are not basically the same >.> . Eh, the original SC story was much better told though, especially the HotS campaign has some dodgy plot choices. Then again Blizzard RTS are the only RTS where I ever enjoyed and managed to complete the campaigns, because, hell, are those things usually boring. | ||

And the fact that games have been picked up by the movie industry shows that they don't have to "generally suck balls". If they are doing a good job is another story. | ||

Hollywood will make a movie out of anything. I don't think Angry Birds, Dead or Alive, and the Street Fighter movies proves they actually care about finding a deep story. | ||

The Last of Us struck a good balance I think. Although the scope of player interaction and story telling can very widely and there is no perfect state. | ||

Maybe they'll still announce that later, but I'll be a little disappointed if they don't take the opportunity to add new Co-op content I'm sure that's coming. We already have 3 commanders in the pipeline, I assume they'd do another map with that. | ||

I hope this will be polished for this price, I mean in-game cuts/cinematics with voice acting (I could go to a local cinema Imax for that money) but if it is like the Prologue/Conclusion quality I think I will pass. | ||

Please go ahead so i can tear you to pieces. if you want a great story watch a movie or read a novel. do not buy a video game expecting a great story. i'm not a fiction reader or movie-goer and i can name 100 novels and 100 movies with better stories than any video game story ever made. video game stories are merely modern day pulp fiction. judged as pulp fiction Blizzard stories have ranged from below average to great over the last 20+ years. WoL was great... my only problem with it was the change in Raynor's appearance. | ||

I have no idea what Cricketer12 is talking about, like, these type of games, are kinda remembered for "badass moments" rather than actual story depth. We have games like Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Chrono Trigger, those games actually have excellent story lines with tons of depth. Blizzard games don't hold a candle to that, but I still enjoy them for what they are. Agreed, blizzard stories have always been pretty mediocre. What they excel is building up an interesting world and very good backup materials to make it good. Diablo with the skeleton king for example, still Damn awesome in Diablo 3 but once you fight him he is nothing but another boss. Plus cheesy doesn't imply bad, I have been saying this for years. That epic speech in the dictator is pretty damn cheesy and I don't think anyone can deny that. | ||

Well HotS was 20 missions for $40. But we'll see. I'll buy it regardless, I love SC2 and it'll always be one of the very few games I pay for, but hopefully my trust isn't misplaced. | ||
