even though I do like the StarCraft franchise (generally-speaking) I suppose that it's simply not the most exciting nor memorable sci-fi universe out there. I don't, however, feel any urgency to play Legacy of the Void, as much as I never really wanted to play Heart of the Swarm immediately when it was released (heck I literally bought it barely a month ago, talk about being late to the party). I just don't want to see any story-related spoilers. That's not because I'm not interested it in, however. I haven't played that initial Legacy of the Void missions, nor watched any game-play of that next "expansion pack" on YouTube or anything, beyond the trailer itself (which is pretty good, but then again Blizzard usually make good CGIs anyway, that's no news). I'm simply not informed about / aware of how bad it is (if it really is, but I suppose that's ultimately subjective, unless the writer(s) really just torched it beyond recognition). I genuinely just shrug off when I see complaints about the SC lore taking a nosedive (supposedly). And I just recently bought Heart of the Swarm (during the recent 10$ sale) and completed it as well. But maybe I wouldn't have if I had remembered everything about SC1 and Brood War. I'm saying this because I actually enjoyed Wings of Liberty. I might have made a mistake by jumping in SC2 back when Wings of Liberty was new, without having replayed SC1 just prior to refresh my memory of the game's events. I remember about 5% of the story, however (but as I said I think I'll just at least Google that info at some point). I played and completed both (SC1 and BW) long. I think I should replay SC1 and Brood War, or at least I should go on their Wiki pages and read about the story for those two. I'm not holding my breath for anything truly surprising/engaging. Zeratul is either: 1) acts as a powerful mediator between high templars & dark templars, rebuilding the community 2) disappears again to solitude or 3) dead, he's either killed or sacrified defeating the hybrid.
STARCRAFT 2 EDITOR KERRIGAN HOTS BEFORE ZERUS FREE
With Kerrigan dead, I guess Zerg is truly free as leaderless beasts now.Ĥ. But they're still used by Kerrigan for her own agenda. So Zerg is free? HotS was so crappy, I barely remember the story. The terran world does seem bit better as Mengsk has been dead and his son isn't as corrupt/crazy.ģ. The entire SC saga has tired him out badly. Raynor is forever scarred and continues drinking.
She'll say something heroic in her death to Raynor, sort of redeeming herself.Ģ. As hinted in HotS, she was the ultimate vehicle needed to defeat the hybrid, despite her unspeakable crimes. I think it's obvious at least Raynor or Kerrigan will die. We can feel that writers don't care much either, they just want to close this out. That's why Hearthstone & Overwatch exist- that's where the money is that fits today gamers' (13-25 yos)Īs for predicting the final wrap of SC2- I just don't care anymore. Well, SC2 itself doesn't cater to real target audience ($$) anymore. Us oldies are no longer the target audience of this game. I'm past getting disappointed, just don't care anymore.
SC2 WoL & HotS have been hilariously bad. I agree wholeheartedly that SC1 lore was amazing.
