The only thing locked behind the pre-order paywall is the Nova portrait. All playable content will be sold 3 mission a pack (or all 9 in the bundle) and the ghost skin will be rewarded if you own all 3 mission packs (or the bundle).

How's the voice-over work or the cinematics in that game?

I don't care for that. Blizzard stories after Sc1, D2 and maybe Wc3 are cheesy and stupid anyways.

Subjective.

You seriously want to defend a blizzard story that came after that? Please go ahead so i can tear you to pieces.

If u don't like it, don't play it. I like it, I played it. Very simple. Now calm down and let subjective things be subjective. Cuz that's what it is: A matter of taste.

What is there to enjoy? They are all stories geared toward 12 year olds. Its pathetic and insulting.

Never stopped nintendo or platinum games.


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.

the campaign storyline of a few of the C&C games was decent.

video game storylines generally suck balls. i find it part of the fun watching these stupid plots unfold.. its like the 21st century's version of pulp fiction.

I cannot share this exp. I really like a lot of stories that games have. 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.

I would say game has better potential to tell a story than a movie. But a game doesn't require good story to be successful, so most of them are bad. Being able to engage player into the world and story for long time brings a lot of advantages over movies. Especially now when many movies are butchering good book stories en masse. Main culprits are time limit and need to accommodate to viewers. On the other side with "walking simulators" and other "experiences" were are getting into game story telling, but it's very extreme.

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.

I was expecting the Nova pack to launch with Nova as a new commander in Co-op. 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

Me too, though they have said repeatedly that their definitely adding new co-op content so I'd be very surprised if they didn't take this opportunity.

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.

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.

SC1, D2, and WC3 are full of the same cheesy moments like SC2 is. 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.

9 missions for 15 bux?

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.
