This. Remember when Starcraft was all about wars between the races and political intrigue?

Too hard for casuals to understand, we need redemption, love, ancient evils, and galaxy level stakes

Tychus was too good for Wings of Liberty...

>tfw unironically enjoyed sc2 story
It was campy, but it wasn't terrible. It didn't ruin the series like so many sequels do. See Bioshock for an egregious example.

The quality of writing in a billion-dollar company

So with Metzen gone, do you think the writing improves or falls even further?

It's so infuriating that Metzen wrote the story to appease his fucking daughter instead of the fans. Everything after the Activision merger is a giant fuck you the fans that made Blizzard what they once were.

I guess you've never heard any of the original lore

It feels like a rejected Diablo III storyline

>First game is a gritty sci-fi story about a handful of key characters juggling the fate of an entire sector
>Intrigue, back stabbings, side-switching, and clusterfucked battles in which no one really wins are commonplace

starcraft 2 is about as well written as bayformers

it's fucking embarassing and honestly it should be taught as an example of how to fuck up a great established universe

>>378829937
the sad part is wings of liberty was probably the best of the 3.

Woah man that's so crazy dude, what captivating and original imagery. A big floaty elemental person in space with debris flying around, woah man wo... w... *snore*

Who here have read the original SC's novels? I thought they nicely supplemented the story.

How can you go from that to >>378826985?
