You're right, there's nothing to argue with. I am annoyed about how you get offended by the fact that people like this game.
I think people are just too accustomed to settling for less. It disappointments me greatly that people will just suck up whatever they're handed and be content with it without question.
Allow me to reiterate my previous point.
I HAD FUN PLAYING THE GAME. Along with lots of other people. Deal with it.
What else is there to say? Oh right, there's this:
Sc2 is just a big string of butchered tropes and cliches with voice acting that gives me migraines sprinkled on decent mission design in a non-linear clusterfuck that leaves you empty and lacking of substance. For 90% of the campaign you are just chasing around mundane bullshit without a care in the world using the most basic and primitive of dialogue seen in gaming since the 80's, and even then I can think of Roguelikes decimating this game's sense of immersion through text in a single pass. There's nothing to praise here, just content that incites various pressure facepalms. Perhaps in rhymes, like a rap. Maybe that was Blizzard's intentions all along, upon which case I have to applaud their genius. If their goal was to see how shitty of a story they could make and see if people would still suck it up just because they're Blizzard, they've gone above and beyond the call of duty to achieve amazing results.
I don't care.
It was a shitty story, yes. But I played the game, and I had a lot of fun doing so. Does that mean that I "sucked it up"? What would it mean to
not "suck it up"? What would one have to do for that? Should I hate the game, even though I thought it was really fun, because the "epic" story didn't deliver? Because I don't. Am I supposed to write Blizzard an angry letter, telling them that they'd better rewrite Wings of Liberty, and rerelease it with a better story?
Or should I boycott Heart of the Swarm? I'm not going to. Because I want it. I'll get the collector's edition, too. By the way, I'm expecting the story for that one to be retarded, too, with the exact same voice acting. But I'm also expecting more really fun missions, and new units, and more multiplayer to be played, and more editor capabilities, and HOPEFULLY a better battle net. But I am aware of what I will not be getting, and that is a science fiction masterpiece.
On that note, yeah, Battle net gives me some reasons to hate it, but not enough to outweigh all the fun I've had playing it.
So really, my point remains.
I HAD FUN PLAYING THE GAME. Along with lots of other people. Deal with it.
You hate it. That's great. You can rant about it as much as you want. In fact, I enjoy reading your rants about it, because I tend to agree with most of it. The only thing, however, is that I put much less weight on the story and the voice acting than you do. I can look past these things because really, they just don't bother me that much. So please keep talking about what you hate about this game. But don't insult me for enjoying the game, despite its many shortcomings.
