I don't understand why use Mar Sara. I mean, anybody who remembered it also (probably) recalled it was nuked from orbit. Ain't getting nostalgia points from a blunt retcon, y'know?quote:Mengsk can only control you if you let him quote:they're digging aliens artifacts

Szarrukin posted:Oh, that's why I was so sure SC1 Magistrate = Matt Horner In fairness, so did everyone, 'cept the ones actually writing this thing. In contrast to Matt being a logical choice to be magistrate (and isn't), the canon protoss players got it in reverse - it makes absolute no sense that Artanis's the executor, yet he is.

PurpleXVI posted:Outside of the box art, I can only really find one time where we see Kerrigan as something other than a tiny, crusty sprite prior to Starcraft 2. About the only parts of her that still look remotely human are the legs, hands and face, everything else is more insecty chitin than anything. There's also the campaign select from brood war:  (I could have sworn she was barefooted, but without high hills.

Maybe we, the players, should have met Nova beforehand (in this game, mind, and not in some cancelled game), preferably doing us a solid, so there would be a reason to listen to her. Just spitballing here. Aside from that - picking Tosh will lead him to stay, right? And thus, more conversations, while Nova doesn't stay to chat.

You'll think that the kill switch means Tychus is being monitored, so his handlers will know when to flip it. Considering that no order to give the odin an extra inspection was given, apparently not.

Theory - Protoss have probes handle the mining stuff, and the probes can't be trusted with teleporting gas. Meanwhile, the auto refinery do require someone at the base to make sure nothing explodes - and as far as the protoss are concerned, this is a waste of staff that could be better used elsewhere.

Even if Hanson fails her shot, we can still purge the colony after. They're worth that one last chance. ...'cept that given how long we took, it's probably 120% zerg by mass.

Aces High posted:Personally, I think all games should approach their voice acting like Legacy of Kain did How did that series approached their voice acting? Edit: also, in addition to the orb pondering be bad writing, the two other "okay, this is stupid" plot points in SC2 are (IMHO) the choices you get - Haven could be fine, if reality didn't rewrite itself to make you right; and in Tosh/Nova case, you shouldn't put a totally new character who works for your enemy against a trusty ally (you could salvage that by meeting Nova earlier, her being a friend who we owe a solid to, and we know she got her own agenda, and isn't loyal to the dominion) Gun Jam fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Nov 17, 2023 |

aniviron posted:It's always so weird to me that the commanders are ground units in this game. This is an SC1 problem too, to be fair; though the severity varies. I did like that SC1 ramped up the ante with heroes - Raynor climbs the entire terran tech tree until he's important enough to be a battlecruiser. No such luck for Warfield, though he's cutscene-only. I sorta assumed he'd be more like Duke or Mengsk where he doesn't get his hands dirty at all or if he does it's in an overwhelming vehicle. In fairness, Warfield used to be in a battlecruiser - 'till it got shot down.

So, instead of "I'm gonna get Mengsk!" she was at the start of the game, she's now "I'm really gonna get Mengsk"?Cythereal posted:There's a somewhat infamous review of Heart of the Swarm by one of the gaming news outlets that called attention to this cutscene, and the reviewer said that when they hit this point, his eight year old daughter who had been watching him play went "Daddy, isn't the bad guy just making that up to hurt her?" 12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation. -- the evil overlord list.

Y'know how if a word is being repeated so often, it's stop sounding like a word? It's called Semantic satiation (I can never, for the life of me, remember that term). We'll hit that before this mission chain will end, I'm guessing.

bladededge posted:At least it's equal opportunity bad writing. SC2 isn't consistent with SC1, but Heart isn't consistent with Wings either so it's fine(?) Maybe it would be better served the story if instead of 3 big campaigns, you had each part contain 3 regular campaigns, one for each race. Like (if you try and keep the basic story intact), wings could be Zeratul finding what's going on, Kerrigan assault on the dominion, Raynor trying to save Kerrigan, for example.

Remember how in brood wars, Mengsk got out-outmaneuvered by Kerrigan, and when he (and two other factions!) tried to just butt head with her she overpowered them? I don't think this game does. But anyhow, congrats BisbyWorl, another one down!
