This is such an irrelevant bullshit comment. I'm surprised Bill, I didn't expect you to post redundant flamebait like that. Either make a real argument or don't post? Oh wait, there's nothing to argue with! Dur hurr hurr herp derpBut you know what? I HAD FUN PLAYING THE GAME. Along with lots of other people. Deal with it.

Allow me to reiterate my previous point.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.
What else is there to say? Oh right, there's this:I HAD FUN PLAYING THE GAME. Along with lots of other people. Deal with it.
I don't care.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.
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.I HAD FUN PLAYING THE GAME. Along with lots of other people. Deal with it.
But that was the only thing out of the entire campaign that's worth mentioning. That's nothing to argue about, that's just facts. I'm not going to insult you for enjoying the game. I'm going to insult, berate, and laugh at every single individual who blindly clings to the delusions that anything other than the mission design themselves and pretty shiny are even comparable to the original much less "good". Because I know, and they know that Wings of Liberty is nothing compared to what it could been if it had real people working on it and not washed up nobodies. And the fact it missed every opportunity to do something cool and say something memorable intentionally is hilarious all in its own.sprinkled on decent mission design
No, I'm definitely aware that you thought that the mission design was decent. But what I'm saying is, you're looking at it from a completely different angle from me, and a lot of other people. You value the story more. I value the gameplay more. We can both agree that the story is balls. So I can see why you don't like it. But even you say that the gameplay is decent, and I think it is quite good. Therefore I do like it.IskatuMesk wrote:Sorry Bill, obviously you didn't read my post very well. Because if you did you'd know that I thought the mission design was decent.
But see, that's the thing... who IS presenting it to be something it isn't? I don't know of anyone who has said "Man, Starcraft 2 had the best story of any game ever." At least, not here, anyway. Are there people out there who think that?But that was the only thing out of the entire campaign that's worth mentioning. That's nothing to argue about, that's just facts.

Again I don't care if you enjoyed it or not. At no point did I say you shouldn't enjoy it. I said you shouldn't try to present it to be something it isn't.
The WC3 campaigns were alright except for maybe the Night Elf campaign, which by the time you get there you just want the game to be over.Alevice wrote: Also, it seems that I was the only one who was absolutely bored by the wc3 campaigns.
Like I said it's not entirely unfeasible but the chances are so slim it's like saying they named the Xel'Naga after my name and my overuse of the N word changed into something more rated E.The Oracle wrote:Okay okay, fair enough. Tell me this then. Do you think it's completely outside the realm of possibility that with many other similarities as well as the Oracle similarity, that somewhere in Blizz, the term 'Roach' was latched onto as a result of someone playing LotC? After all, Zerg are called 'Roaches' all through that campaign. Just curious.
