Overall I think the best single player experience has been WC3. That story really engaged me, and took a few twists and turns (including Arthas, who is probably their best character as well). I also preferred the story presentation to take place in the actual game world, because it brought the story into what you were doing instead of feeling sort of slapped on for graphical pleasure. But really the single player is more of bonus content for me. Sadly I'd pay 60 bucks for MP alone.  | ||

But yea, Starcraft is pretty much known for its over the top cheesyness. The whole premise of Redneck Marines in Space is cheesy IMO. On the otherhand, if Diablo 3 has such cheesyness then we should be worried. I stopped clicking the television until I saw there was an achievement for it ...  | ||

Wow this post I am quoting sounds like something I would have written exactly... get out of my head. I agree with these guys. Love the campaign 110% so far! | ||

It's definitely a huge improvement in SC2 over the original. Fenix: I can still - how do you terrans say it? - 'Throw down with the best of them!' | ||

Wow this post I am quoting sounds like something I would have written exactly... get out of my head. To tell you the truth, I had the same thought, but luckily+ Show Spoiler + after a few of the news ones it stops doing that EVERY single time, or at least in different ways. There is however one where the news anchor claims that he always brings the news in the most "fair and balanced" way, There are definitely a lot of problems with the campaign's storyline, but seriously, what can you expect? Keep in mind this is the Terran campaign too, and the terrans have always had the most boring and lackluster campaign. No one cares about character development when it's centered around a few humans that fit into very boring cliches. In fact, the entire cast is almost exactly the same as that of firefly (another space western setting). Raynor's the heroic captain that's easy to like, being both a rebel and a hero, who's had some past dark times and is on the losing side of some war (Malcolm), Tychus is the big strong angry dude who is somehow weaker than Raynor and likes to go against him but is always defeated (Jayne), Tosh is the mysterious psychic dude who has hidden powers (the Shepard). (Though the fact that he's jamaican is hilarious to me cause he always talks about "the spirits" and the "spirit world" or whatever Jamaican nonsense). Then there's some medic, and some other boring roles. I've just never enjoyed the Terran campaigns in any of the games. I've always found the Zerg and Protoss characters more interesting, and hopefully their respective campaigns will be much, much better than this cliched drivel with amazing production values. I just wished they talked more about the overarching story, like the battles and what's going on, instead of character development. They focus way too much on the heroes in this one, which goes against the entire starcraft philosophy. Hero based plot should stick to warcraft. | ||

Hope it will be delivered to me tommorow I played the campaign, though, not saying here how i did it.+ Show Spoiler + thanks RELOADED especially the mission where u survive against the zergs andvancing and matt horner saves you Multiplayer is what kept sc1 played for 12 years, not the campaign. No matter how great the campaign is, in a cpl of years the multiplayer is what counts. | ||

For example, + Show Spoiler + Zero hour third mission, playing on Brutal first time I left the base to go kill the enemy, prob had around ~16 marines 5 medics, and as I'm killing an enemy spine crawler, fucking like 8-10 mutas come, lots of lings, few hydras then an ULTRA unburrows. I was like WTF, I can't even tech stim yet or combat shields, and they throw an Ultra at me? Although as soon as you've figured the enemy strength out, you can scale accordingly. | ||

I think I'm about half way trough the campain + Show Spoiler + I just finished the whole protoss side campaign, back to Terran now I really dislike how almoste every mission involves building a base, for me the irreregular missions where you escort something, or escape from a dungeon are the most fun ones. Also I'm rather annoyed by the amount of units I can get, Terran already has a lot of units but in the campaign it's just to much if you ask me. I understand that from Broodwar players it is great to see some old units, but for me they just needlessly complicate things. I don't want to end in to much of a rant, I enjoyed the missions I did so far but it's just not as good as I hoped. | ||
