[Spoilers] What the heck is this Kerrigan video all about????

[LordofAscension]

That can't be true. We all know, with Blizzard's track record for spoilers, that Zeratul and Tassadar fuse into an Archon.

This. I'll call it. It'd just be too good to be true.

am I one of the handful people that enjoyed this, which in my opinion has some signs of once epic stories written for SC and BW?
I really like this, for the first time since Diablo 2 I can say that I like what Blizz is doing

Lol i was kinda hoping for some bashing/raging from you and Demo on this leak, but now i'm confused, what gives :S

First half I thought was awesome. Kerrigan was back, corrupted again and looking for revenge...it is vengeance...thats why its cool, thats what is kerrigan, thats what is dark and gritty, and thats what is starcraft. "Yes! Jims plan failed and she really is an unsavable loss." I thought. Mengsk sits there, alone, stairing at his cigar. My mind was instantly drawn to how Dugalle felt when Kerrigan was coming for him. "Ah so Mengsk is broken. I wonder if he will try to beg for his life. Maybe appeal to kerrigans now vacant humanity. Maybe a thinly vieled apology for how they ruined her. Remind her that he made her (and maybe scream this in vainity/outrage as his appeal falls on deaf ears). Kerrigan tears open the door in rage and then...






Nothing. Some things happened which my brain, having seen so many saturday morning cartoons of this sort of stuff, tuned out. I didn't feel for the characters, there was no revelation or new understanding to move the plot forward, no resolution of grand themes. Just exactly what I expected (hoping I was wrong) to happen. Mengsk fights back, raynor saves day, kerrigan becomes good.

Dark and Gritty

Because you see themes, turns and character depth are what make good writing. I know that by exclusion. Because when I was just starting out in this world I would sit down to write awesome stories. And I would start with the important parts. You know the part with the spy killing people and being awesome. You know stuff like new gadgets showing up just when needed. And heros showing up just when needed. And then the story would finish and Id go back to read it. And it was empty. Just like this ending left me.

Not so much

Depth is what SC1 and BW had in droves. Its why me as a child was so fascinated by it. This was different from my saturday morning cartoons. There was something special here. I do believe Metzen is trying. I do believe the whole of Blizzard is working their ass off on this. And in all fairness this is better than anything in WoL. But they need to listen to their fans to make this a truely epic story. Afterall listening to fans is what makes Blizzard the best damn videogame compay out there.

Oh and one last thing Zerg=/=Orcs

Yeah, I'm really worried about spychi.

FUUUUUUUU so manny spoilers lately wow movie 2012, Titan 2013 new mmo?, what is sc2 phoenix, diablo 3 with 2 expos all this from the leaked schedule and now spoiled end for Hots! D:

Blizzard rearly spoils stuff before games but not anymore...

[Perfecttear]

Is it to eraly to discuss how the campaign will be played out and what mechanics will we have in it?


I think that HoTS migh have a similar taste like W3(heroes);
My personal bet is that instead of the lab and tech research points which you have in WOL, you are upgrading Kerrigan personaly in HoTS. She starts human, and the more you upgrade her the more stronger she gets and also changes aperance.

I ain't ragin' because DS does and DS doesn't rage because of me ragin' - it doesn't work this way
btw demo is a softie lol
I like the direction they took or took'd, it's not the best idea but finally a unkillable character dies, I enjoyed that video because it has potential and it seems blizzard writers finally used their "censorship because of infraction risk"
I still don't belive they can make anything epic, but comparing this video to all the shit I saw in WoL, I can say that this video - amongst all my hate and rage at blizz - is good

Yeah, I'm really worried about spychi.

no worries, I am crazy and evil insane as always

That's it! I was holding on to hope that I'd be able to enjoy it more than others, just like I did with WoL, but, if Spychi thinks it great I'm giving up all hope.

I hope you were joking.

no

1. I went to bed after my last post.

2. I am not a softie. Go smoke a pole.

3.

That's just a front to cover up your soft and kind demeanor. I heard you even donated to charities this year.

You need to play more RT 4v4's in SC2 to harness your true rage potential and shed that kind temperament of yours.
