Although I only play multiplayer and skipped the campaign after a few missions this video was enjoyable. I thought it was put together well with only a few parts that didn't mix. Overall I think you did a good job expressing your opinion/frustration about the story mode. I laughed on more than one occasion. Very entertaining! I watched it the whole way through. Well done.
You really need to put more thought into the points you're trying to make before uploading them onto youtube. The points you make are laughable and you present them with a false sense of intellectual superiority which has left you extremely vulnerable to debates and heavy criticism. For example you say the "cinematic is lying to you." This Cinematic trailer wasn't made to show people precise places in the game it was made to attract old/new gamers and give them an idea of what's in store.
Some of the video and audio clips that you put in to go along with your "jokes" were a little delayed which automatically turns your video into a 5/10. On top of that your voice is painful to listen to no offense maybe have a buddy do some voice overs for you.
Dude, BW and StarCraft 2 are games made for Multiplayer. The Singleplayer campaign is a bonus feature. At least, thats how i see it, if i want a good story in it, ill pop de DVD Alien and watch a good movie.
This is literally the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen anyone complain about. You're seriously sitting here and complaining that the trailer contains footage that may have been in the game at some point, but may have been cut for story/pacing issues?
@Vorophobe I would suggest though that you take a look at the latter parts, especially part 3 onward as they are much better at least from the standard part 1 set...which from your comment wasn't very high...
I personally find the story of "StarCraft 1" and "Brood War" to be meh. Nothing extraordinary, for my taste.
Prefered the "StarCraft 2" campaign with its more varied maps and a better presentation of the story with its cinematics and character development. The only problem I think it had was that the story dragged a bit because of being on the ship so often, but it was way better than the "StarCraft 1" briefings where you had a couple of heads talking.
I thought the storyline has fine (not perfect, but good enough).
It seems a lot of the points you are bashing sc2 about aren't really issues.
I mean, why do you make the assumption that the short scenes of war cut into the intro had to be seen later in game play? It's just short scenes representing the chaos and war going on.
The fact that they reused the intro footage seems a very minor issue.
Your reviews are awesome. They remind me of Redlettermedia, hell, maybe you should consider showing it to those guys and become part of their website.
Yup - Blizzard has demonstrated quite clearly that they no longer give a crap about the quality of storylines in their games. Love how people are dismissing this and saying "obviously story was not the main focus." Fuck off seriously - earlier blizz games had both good storylines and gameplay - now they suddenly decide to compromise one of them. Add that to other compromised things such as LAN and region locking - blizzard just ignores it's fan base and just does w/e the fuck it wants these days
I appreciate your honest opinion about Wings of Liberty. Although I don't agree a lot with you, you made some good points about the flaws of Wings of Liberty's campaign.
None of your points besides Mengsk talking at the beginning spoiling the ending a bit actually mattered. Blizzard has said that their first priority is the gameplay. Which is why the gameplay was awesome. The scenes that you spent 2 freakin minutes talking about were just scenes happening in the war they don't have to have the same cinematic happen there as well. Also, they included the Tychus scene again because it was epic, and Mengsk talking so Tychus would have an actual MOTIVE in the game.
Do you seriously think that saying that their top priority is the gameplay is a legitimate reason to make a catastrophic campaign for a game that supposedly had 7 years of development?
The problem with this review is that it makes some valid points mixed into nitpicking bullshit which is just prattling on so you can slide in a few "the creators are money grubbing assholes!" (They are but you could have said as much in fewer words.) RedLetterMedia (which you are obviously copying) has the same problem in invalidating his own points by obsessing over things that don't matter.
First ofc the story wasn't the main priority the esport scene was. Second besides the average story the missions, the upgrades, the research and the multiplayer were amazing
First ofc the story wasn't the main priority the esport scene was. Second besides the average story the missions, the upgrades, the research and the multiplayer were amazing
This review in all its entirety is really good. It's got a predetermined narrative away from favoring Starcraft 2, but it's still supported by a good amount of reasoning. And yes, this is a review of the game's storyline and not its gameplay. Storyline is important to Starcraft--the original game wasn't made to be an eSport, it just became one. SC2 straddles the focus between pleasing original story fans and eSports support, so the SC2 campaign is instead a giant pile of shit. Watch the review!
Dude. Why would they reformat a scene that's already freaking epic? That seems like a waste of time. They worked on gameplay and balancing elements instead of wasting their lives on a cutscene that was already close to flawless.
ok... i just watched all 3 part... yes you said some thing that had to be said but on the sum up it was a hate speech for starcrafts2 plot...this was not a review... you didnt cover any aspects of the game and you didnt see the real problems such as THE LACK OF LAN game and the region lock bullshit... you didnt say any thing about the flawless gameplay and great grafics and that dispite all that it still felt like playing the old game but better... you somehow miss the point...
Just gonna point out, most blizzard games always have a "universe" that is built in to the story, with this "universe" comes its lore and history. With the release of Sc1, blizzard had a very colorful history to go with the story, and exploring this was apart of how the story of Sc1 was so epic. Sc2 on the other hand, had to continue from Sc1, which, as always, is not going to be something as refreshing as seeing a concept, history, and development for the first time.
5) Your problem within a problem within a problem was actually a nothing within a nothing. They were rushing the game? Based on your critique of them reusing a cinematic? If you want to see the result of rushing, check out Civ5. I can't get through a game without it crashing.
7) Just because they split up the story in 2008 doesn't mean they started writing the story in 2008. Bad logic, and regardless not a problem in itself.
4) The introduction clips were fine. So what if those exact cinematics didn't appear in the game? Seriously, where is the bad? It's a total non sequitur. And yes, fighting that involves marines, mutalisks, hydralisks, zerglings and kerrigan appear in the game. And you claim that they are more exciting than actual cutscenes - what makes a clip of a hydralisk getting shot in the chest more exciting than the clip of the hydralisk getting shot in the head and body 3 times?
2) You're seriously criticizing the price on the logic that because blizzard calls it "part 1", it shouldn't cost as much as a regular game does? "Part 1" has more missions and more variety than SC1 (even though SC1 had 3 campaigns)
3) The introduction was actually good. The purpose of an introduction is to entice you to play the game. It did. So what if it let you know that Tychus has been compromised? It creates tension. Characters "surprise" betrayed by best friends is hackneyed anyway
1) The big difference between RedLetterMedia and this is that The Phantom Menace was a bad movie - it wasn't enjoyable to watch and it ruined an otherwise great franchise by turning it into a kid's movie. SC2 is a fun game to play and they DIDN'T ruin it by turning into micro battles with heroes like WarCraft 3 or an RPC or something. The reasons SC2 are fun is huge space battles with armies and cool units the same as SC1.
3. Random action shots: That's something I've seen Blizz do a few times in the past (I think WC2 and Diablo 2 had them) and I don't think it's such a terrible thing. It's dramatic and it would be a shame to waste all of those assets.
4. All in all, your vid was entertaining and I'll be watching the second one soon. While I enjoyed the gameplay of WOL, there's a ridiculous amount of plot holes and inconsistencies in SC2 - I hope you pick on the main ones, otherwise it'll take forever. :)
1. Why are you blatantly using RedLetterMedia's style? Correct me if you're not and have never heard of him. Though I did get over it eventually and the quick cuts were amusing, it's still unoriginal.
2. Findley plot: I agree, though I bet most players had such small attention spans that by the end of the game (as it's never mentioned again) they forgot. Who knows, maybe this is symptomatic of Blizz engaging a wider audience than in the past.
You have an annoying whiny voice... but that doesn't make you any less right. SC2 sucked ass. Retcon, bad lines, bad plot, spoilers in the opening trailer... sigh.
They are idiots. I bought the game at launch day and I regret doing that. From now I'll pirate Blizzard games before I buy them to make sure they are worth my money. SC2 sure as hell wasn't.
I was sort of lucky, I skipped the first cinematic because I thought it was the same (did not know about Mengsk voice over), so I didn't have my surprised ruined at the end.
I applaud your attempts at trying to make your point, but frankly idiots will love this story for what it is and for being blind devotees. While logical people who have read stories outside the mainstream curriculum will see Sc2 for what it really is.......a piece of shit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I just face palmed, did you really think the story was the supposed to be the main focus? I guess you must be one of those kids who never tried multi player.
@Raffen1000 Actually I did try multiplayer, in fact, I played the beta since the beginning. But I'm a single player guy for the most part so I was looking forward to the story mode...
@BroodmyWarcraft Sorry but just because you wanted it to be, doesn't make it the focus of starcraft. If it makes you feel better I was disappointed with the story too. But it's a three parter, so I'll give it a chance until LOTV.
@BroodmyWarcraft Yeah I only bought the game cause of how much I enjoyed the SC and BW campaign. I don't care much for multiplayer nor do I have time to invest in it.
Boy was I disappointed... I din't even get to play as zerg...
@Raffen1000 Hey if they give you multiplayer and single player, it's a 50/50% job, and while 50% is great the other 50% is shit. Plus Starcraft was one of the better stories from Blizzard (considering it also spawned novels you can guess people loved the story) and they managed to fuck it all up in SC2....badly. I myself didn't start playing SC for the multiplayer but for the story, so care to guess how i felt about it?
@EBTcraft15 I'm sorry, just because the story is more important to you than multi player. Doesn't make it the same for everyone. Starcraft makes the most profit off it's multi player and therefor has to devote more resources to it. Doesn't make it a bad game. Look at COD it's multi player has made millions, but it's single player is lack luster at best. By the way, did you look at the single player as an introduction rather than a full story? Remember it's a three parter
@Raffen1000 Multiplayer is fun for me but it really depends on the players cause douchebags can really impair your fun.....Oh yes...one game=three parts...well you can't look at it as an introduction! This is the first part of the trilogy, this is chapter 1 of the story! Look at the mass effect series. Mass Effect 1 introduced us to their universe and also gave us one awesome story to go along so why couldn't SC2 do the same?
@EBTcraft15 That's like saying you took the time to read the first part of the bible and didn't read the rest because the first part was shit. you have to give it time, theres most likely loose ends that will be tied up in the other 2 xpacks
@Raffen1000 Problem is that Metzen has been pulling a "George Lucas" for quite some time with World of Warcraft sistematicallly fucking up the lore, and i see the exact same evolution with Starcraft 2 right now!
@Raffen1000 In the infancy of networking and use of ipx in lanning- im pretty sure the single player was far more important in SC1 on its launch and because of this people have a legitimate concern regarding the garbage that is - the sc2 campaign.
@Raffen1000 Just because the story wasn't the main focus it doesn't mean it has to be crap and poorly written. It's no excuse. (notice how you're acknowledging the bad writing and trying to justify it) You must be one of those kids who never tried the singleplayer in any game.
Also, you think that someone criticizing the story and pointing out its poor writing "must be one of those kids who never tried multiplayer." yeah.. cause if you had liked the multiplayer you wouldn't care about the story.
The Brood War was, too, planned before release of the Original. If you look a bit deep in the development of vanilla SC you will see things that didn't appear in the final product until BW
Theres a hell of a lot more wrong with that game than that. For example, Its nothing new. The Terran still are your standard RTS race, The zerg still expand creep, and the protoss still require power supply. I was expecting blizzard to suprise us with all new races, like they did In WarCraft 3, In WarCraft 2 they only had Humans and Orcs, Then in WarCraft 3 they had humans, orcs, night elves, and undead. Why didn't we see any new races in sc2?
@BroodmyWarcraft sry for the caps, actually i found it enjoyable, u suck compared to Mr. Plinkett, but it was still entertaining to say the least, i mean where the fuck is the bartender? lol
@BroodmyWarcraft Hey! Inspired by Mr. Plinkett! :D Great stuff :P That guy is a genius! My tip would be, take something from someone, then incorporate your own style to create your own "Thing". The review was interesting. It was good in fact.
6 Blizzard employees thumbs down. LMFAO! Read the Amazon reviews. No LAN, no international multiplayer, no chat in battle.net etc. I was SO CLOSE to getting it myself, but I have to thank JC from a forum for alerting me to the reviews. My money is going to a PS3 and the two Dead Space games instead.
You're scrutinizing too much. The cinematic was great how it was. Your accent is just terrible....aaaand no one cares about what you have to say even if your opinion mattered. Have a nice day...thank you come again!
Fucking piece of shit, maybe those clips we've seen in the cock tease trailer was from the supposedly ORIGINAL story line...and then in FALL 2008 they thought of a new scam and dumped the original story to make a modify sloppy joe version of it...or THERE WEREN'T ANY ORIGINAL STORY they were just fucking around and cashing pre-order money
Woah...next time warn the viewers before you start spoiling shit all over
Beside that your review is an eyes opener for me, I never would have found out about all bullshit that Blizzard had been doing during those development years. You got a good point on the trilogy crap that spit out during the last minutes...
12 years of development...FUCK they played me for a fool

@BroodmyWarcraft Yeah I only bought the game cause of how much I enjoyed the SC and BW campaign. I don't care much for multiplayer nor do I have time to invest in it.
Boy was I disappointed... I din't even get to play as zerg...

@Raffen1000 Hey if they give you multiplayer and single player, it's a 50/50% job, and while 50% is great the other 50% is shit. Plus Starcraft was one of the better stories from Blizzard (considering it also spawned novels you can guess people loved the story) and they managed to fuck it all up in SC2....badly. I myself didn't start playing SC for the multiplayer but for the story, so care to guess how i felt about it?

@EBTcraft15 I'm sorry, just because the story is more important to you than multi player. Doesn't make it the same for everyone. Starcraft makes the most profit off it's multi player and therefor has to devote more resources to it. Doesn't make it a bad game. Look at COD it's multi player has made millions, but it's single player is lack luster at best. By the way, did you look at the single player as an introduction rather than a full story? Remember it's a three parter
Raffen1000 1 year ago
@Raffen1000 Multiplayer is fun for me but it really depends on the players cause douchebags can really impair your fun.....Oh yes...one game=three parts...well you can't look at it as an introduction! This is the first part of the trilogy, this is chapter 1 of the story! Look at the mass effect series. Mass Effect 1 introduced us to their universe and also gave us one awesome story to go along so why couldn't SC2 do the same?

@EBTcraft15 That's like saying you took the time to read the first part of the bible and didn't read the rest because the first part was shit. you have to give it time, theres most likely loose ends that will be tied up in the other 2 xpacks

@Raffen1000 Problem is that Metzen has been pulling a "George Lucas" for quite some time with World of Warcraft sistematicallly fucking up the lore, and i see the exact same evolution with Starcraft 2 right now!

@EBTcraft15 Problem being Star2 has a different developmental team

@Raffen1000 In the infancy of networking and use of ipx in lanning- im pretty sure the single player was far more important in SC1 on its launch and because of this people have a legitimate concern regarding the garbage that is - the sc2 campaign.

@Raffen1000 Just because the story wasn't the main focus it doesn't mean it has to be crap and poorly written. It's no excuse. (notice how you're acknowledging the bad writing and trying to justify it) You must be one of those kids who never tried the singleplayer in any game.
Also, you think that someone criticizing the story and pointing out its poor writing "must be one of those kids who never tried multiplayer." yeah.. cause if you had liked the multiplayer you wouldn't care about the story.

The Brood War was, too, planned before release of the Original. If you look a bit deep in the development of vanilla SC you will see things that didn't appear in the final product until BW

Theres a hell of a lot more wrong with that game than that. For example, Its nothing new. The Terran still are your standard RTS race, The zerg still expand creep, and the protoss still require power supply. I was expecting blizzard to suprise us with all new races, like they did In WarCraft 3, In WarCraft 2 they only had Humans and Orcs, Then in WarCraft 3 they had humans, orcs, night elves, and undead. Why didn't we see any new races in sc2?

@BroodmyWarcraft Hey! Inspired by Mr. Plinkett! :D Great stuff :P That guy is a genius! My tip would be, take something from someone, then incorporate your own style to create your own "Thing". The review was interesting. It was good in fact.

6 Blizzard employees thumbs down. LMFAO! Read the Amazon reviews. No LAN, no international multiplayer, no chat in battle.net etc. I was SO CLOSE to getting it myself, but I have to thank JC from a forum for alerting me to the reviews. My money is going to a PS3 and the two Dead Space games instead.

Fucking piece of shit, maybe those clips we've seen in the cock tease trailer was from the supposedly ORIGINAL story line...and then in FALL 2008 they thought of a new scam and dumped the original story to make a modify sloppy joe version of it...or THERE WEREN'T ANY ORIGINAL STORY they were just fucking around and cashing pre-order money
EITHER WAY, WE FUCKED!!!

Beside that your review is an eyes opener for me, I never would have found out about all bullshit that Blizzard had been doing during those development years. You got a good point on the trilogy crap that spit out during the last minutes...
12 years of development...FUCK they played me for a fool
