This game is so quiet...

[TheRabidDeer]

...
To sum it up

In my own personal opinion I do belive the starcraft 1 sounds were vastly superior to starcraft 2 further I think degenerating the immersion

Which is fine and dandy. There are many on both sides of the fence, but the game is set already and there are plenty of people that like how SC2 sounds. This means there is a 99% chance that it wont get changed (the only possible change that we mightve expected to change from beta to retail did not get changed... the queen).

Aside from that though, what is the point of arguing something when the primary counterpoint is "we just dont know how it would sound" followed by opinion on which is better? Obviously I will like my own opinion better than yours.

EDIT: Regarding the most recent post below me by userstupidname, welcome to ignore because I just cant fathom trying to have any kind of discussion with somebody that is so completely ridiculous. I think santrega is right, some SC2GDF trolls have migrated here since they cant troll bnet anymore.

Yes... so?

Well of course that is the thing: taste and colors (No one is forcing a ''better'' opinion) we all add in on the subject but we cannot support our claims with making up facts to our convenience like now: stating that plenty of people like the sc2 sounds, this was just completely pulled this out of no where. Sure it might be true it might be false but you cannot pull it completely out of nowhere.



And why do you say 99% chance it wont be changed?
Considering now that story complaints on WoL won't be changed either.




We are reflecting about the game as there are upcoming expansions.
That is why there is a discussion forum, chipping in comparisons and views.

userstupidname and wankey, thanks for supporting and agreeing with me.
first, for people saying

but...but...blizzard says they spit spines not acid!

you might as well jump off a building if blizzard asks you to. I don't care about whats most realistic for hydralisk anatomy. that statement DOES NOT justify the fact that they regress the sound effects. You're lying to yourself if you say the sc2 hydralisk sounds better than sc1 hydra.

nostalgia can influence opinions

lol no no no. this has nothing to do with nostalgia. or maybe it does, cuz im thinking of sc1 standards. in that case, theres nothing wrong with that.

This is the same with psionic blades we cannot state a fact that psionic blades hitting against carapace or neosteel does not make that sound.
We are basically using a little logic and skewing facts to what is comfortable and convenient.

it doesnt matter, it doesnt have to be realistic. thats the beauty of it, the starcraft universe is COMPLETELY different from the real world, its unique and strange. all the sounds in sc1 sound nothing like real life, thats what makes the sound effects a classic. SC1 didnt care what sounds real, they just care what sounds COOL and FUN. video games supposed to immerse into a different world, universe, i dont want things to be like real life. you see my point userstupidname?(again just my opinion, if you like things realistic, then perhaps it would make sense in sc2 then)

and any thoughts for my campaign review?

SC sounds were nothing compared to War2 sounds my friend ^.^

Watch this



For all I care, the marines could be a single lego block and it would still be cool to watch.
The sound makes it all, this shits classic. SC2's sound effects will never replace this or the music.

And fuck the SC2 SCV. I want my nose picking one back.
