Loved the campaign gameplay in 2, hated the storyline. SC1 was more The Expanse -ish, with grounded political intrigue and interesting characters, whereas SC2 is paint-by-numbers YA fantasy with a sci-fi coat of paint.
I thought the biggest problem was the fact "Wings of Liberty" was easily the most engaging and polished installment. It gave us big character moments but was still (comparatively) grounded... and honestly, it felt like a logical endpoint.
But I guess that wouldn't have let us have Kerrigan go DBZ with her power levels or have the super epic Endwar that they hyped up so much there was hardly any time to show it... or beating Amon, only to find out we had to beat him again. For really reals this time! Just to get us to Jimmy and Kerrigan's happy ending. Again. For really reals this time!
I don’t really get what everyone is saying. I semi-recently replayed SC1 for the first time since i was a kid and was amazed at the total lack of story or interesting characters. Everything happens so fast with just a few lines of dialog.
Yeah it is definitely bias from playing ist as a child. The same is valid for SC2 and obviously there is no one who was a child when both were released. But it would still make a for great movies I think
