Why did they fuck the story up so bad after wings of liberty
>kerrigan turns into shrek
>has an anime style fight with narud
>artanis gains a magic power by ... getting assaulted by multiple enemies at once?
>tassadar was actually a xel naga spy all along
>kerrigan turns into an angel
>none of the hybrids have any motivations besides being evil

Did you even play the game? You got everything wrong.
Kayden Thompson
yeah the storyline is dogshit but the gameplay is super fun
the campaigns are super gimmicky and arent up to the broodwar quality, but the actual underlying gameplay is great so considering nublizzards track record, Starcraft 2 is pretty damn good
Noah Reyes
Explain what I got wrong
Julian Bennett
the pure cheese that is "lets kick this revolution into overdrive"
Josiah Nelson
I felt the same. After wol the story turned mediocre at best. I think the writers didnt know shit and treat the zerg/protos as generic aliens/ultrapolite human aliens.
Aint gonna lie, it was a huge letdown, I loved the wol tone
Leo Hernandez
They tried and failed to make an engaging story revolved around the hybrids. Existential threat plots have been everywhere since 9/11, basically. Even Star Trek became reduced to these cheesy, soulless plots. They should have instead focused more on the smaller scale political and racial infighting, as that sort of thing is way more engaging and doesn't get lost in its own vapid grandioseness.

>tassadar was actually a xel naga spy all along
This Never happened. Tassadar died killing the overmind and never came back. Then Ouros a xelnaga took his form to tell Zeratul about the prophesy because he new Zeratul would believe it if he thought it was tassadar.
Jacob Diaz
I have played the campaign through twice on expert, done nearly all achievements, and I never saw Kerrigan turn into Shrek. Were you high on dope and watched one of the Shrek movies before playing the game? There was nothing anime about Kerrigan fighting Narud. Artanis is a powerful psionics like many protoss and unleashed a big energy blast when he was surrounded. Tassadar was real, but his "ghost" was a projection by Ouros to guide Artanis and Zeratul. Kerrigan turned into a Xel'naga, not an angel. Amon was not evil for the hell of it, he was trying to end the cycle of birth and death, so that no species could be manipulated by the Xel'naga so that they could reborn, which was how Xel'naga "reproduce". It is hinted that he was made a Xel'naga against his will.

The whole game felt like a tutorial level to me. The story was too Marvel style for me.
Grayson Ramirez
Funniest thing is how duran/narud is built up as this ultimate puppetmaster but he never actually succesfully fools anyone long enough to succeed in his plans
Jacob Morales
Really queen?

>There was nothing anime about Kerrigan fighting Narud
You gonna ignore the whole mission where they're shooting the kamehame lasers at each other?
Alexander Lee
I think this is a result of too many hands touching scripts. By the time SC2 finally came out, they probably had retconned everything they had planned for Duran (if anything), and then by the time each expansion came out the script had probably changed hands too many times again. AAA studios will probably always have this problem, because you have hundreds of writers/etc compared to the handful you had back in the day or that you have in modern indie games. Cohesion and soul is impossible with AAA, I guess.
Henry Rodriguez
Those were not Kamehamehas. Kamehameha is from Dragon Ball. They were shooting psionic energies at each other.
No.
Oliver Evans
Played through all 3 campaigns and the Nova content like a year or two back and thought it was mostly fine. Wings of Liberty was the best part, but the others weren't that much worse and it's the last worthwhile thing Nu-Blizzard has made.

>Mengsk can kill kerrigan like a any time
>kerrigan is "CHOSEN", plot armor at max level.
>ZERG HOMEWORLD
Heart of the swarm, more like...
Pile of the bullshit
Zachary Long
Mengsk was genuinely retarded compared to how he was in SC 1
Joseph Phillips
>>Mengsk can kill kerrigan like a any time
Only when she was close to the Artifact.
>ZERG HOMEWORLD
And? All life has a origin at some planet.
>kerrigan is "CHOSEN", plot armor at max level.
Would you prefer the final boss being defeated conventionally with nukes? Boring.

Explaining zerg origin is as retarded as explaining aliens origins

I want to visit Mar Sara again

Are you a nigger, perhaps?
Jordan Hill

Jonathan Gray
Did they ever explain why he was there?
Austin Ward
>development was way too long
>campaigns were released separately, years apart
>Zeratul was wasted
>Amon was a Sargeras reskin
>muh void reskin from warcraft
>Kerrigan was redeemed
>the dark tone from sc1 was removed
>multiplayer was meh
>Duran was wasted
>Hybrids and XelNaga were wasted
>no new expansions aside from story dlcs
>lots of stupid retconning just to make Karrigan the savior
Should've been released fully between 2007-2009.

>artanis gains a magic power by ... getting assaulted by multiple enemies at once?
It’s called a psyonic storm retard
Michael Campbell
SC2 had their asses beaten by Dawn of War 2 Story by miles
Jeremiah Richardson
I hate how cartoonish some of the zerg look in SC 2
>this is supposed to be intimidating
Adrian Bailey
Vorazun literally tells artanis that he gained the power because he got attacked by multiple enemies at once
Luke Jones
Lmao DoW 2 wasn't even an RTS it was a moba lite where your max population is 1 squad.
Easton Moore
I wont forgive blizzard for not making Niadra show up again
>Complete based brood queen mission in HotS
>Am sure she will show up at the end to help kerrigan kill Mengsk
>Never seen again
>Wait she will definitely show up in LotV at a dire moment to help everyone
>Never seen again
Fuck you blizzard
Jaxon Flores
And it was still better than the Comic Book Movie Fuckfest that SC2 became.
youtube.com
SC2 stripped away the characterization of all Characters from SC over heroic bullshit
but then this was Metzen neutered after the new marriage and TBC faggotry, while back in SCBW he was full depressed and went through a trap of divorce because his woman backstabbed him and Blizzard.
Xavier Hall
was difficulty significantly dumbed down after WoL?
playing on veteran was challenging at least
Brody Williams
I started playing 1v1 multi again 2 or 3 weeks ago, if a match went past 15-20 minutes, i would be drenched in sweat at the end. Im a silver shitter too. Game is too intense.
