Time to get Blizzard sued

I'm convinced everything good from alarak came from John delancie

>>388002907
Is LoTV worth getting?

>>388005545

If you already have the first two you might as well finish it

Personally, I enjoyed it

they couldn't before, they just didn't make their games as shitty as their writing

>>388005545
Yes. Most of the missions are either on par or above WoL. As far as characters go,
>DT Lady is kind of just there
>Templar Hag is a bitch for 80% of the game
>Karax is like Swann but cooler and his beard is made of rocks
>"Fenix" has a surprisingly decent character arc
>Alarak might be one of the best character in all Starcraft, mostly due to his voice and the Tal'darim being interesting
If you do get it, skip the Epilogue that comes with it. Literal dumpster fire tier.

>>388002907
>His co-op strategy is to turn himself into the One Man Protoss Death Ball
>If things go south you can just SUMMON THE DEATH FLEET
Why are the Protoss Commanders the best?

>UED says they'll return
>They never return

I REALLY wish they didn't drop this plot line, it would be interesting as fuck especially with Stukov being infested

>>388006271
They're coming in the next mission pack, in which you play as Stukov trying to get them to not attempt glassing the entire Sector

That character was only enjoyable because of the VA hamming it up, it had nothing to do with Blizzard's design or writing.

For real, current Blizzard is fucking dogshit at

>voice acting

>still no alarak voicepack in hots

>>388006417

is the nova pack worth it?

>>388005082
that voice actor is on quite the rts games

The Co-op missions are pretty fun, just wish there was more variety and heroes and unique units and powers.

Is the DLC worth buying?

>>388005545
>Is LoTV worth getting?

Depends, if you liked WoL and HotS then you'll probably like LotV.
LotV is decent in terms of gameplay, but shit in terms of story, dialogue and VA (apart from Alarak). There's nothing great about it

>>388005938
>Most of the missions are either on par or above WoL

Ignore this retard.
WoL still had some of the most interesting missions out of all 3 SC2 versions.

>"Fenix" has a surprisingly decent character arc
>Alarak might be one of the best character in all Starcraft

I repeat, ignore this retard.

>>388006707

Oh fuck off, Alarak is agreed to be god tier by the whole community

>>388006574
It's alright. The story is straightforward (albeit kind of ironic), with cameos from Matt and even Alarak's girlfriend (Along with the man himself). The missions are pretty good though, so I'd say go for it.

>>388005938
This.
I was actually surprised by how good the LotV campaign was. But all of it was ruined with that fucking epilogue.

>>388006119
You forgot his Ascendants turning almost unkillable and instagibbing most enemies.

>He didn't like the Purifier arc

>>388002907

Implying they can?

Hey everybody lets just throw in an edgy character. /v/ will love that!

>>388007330
>Edgy
You may want to reconsider what that word means.

>>388006865
>Oh fuck off, Alarak is agreed to be god tier by the whole community

The only good part of that character is the voiceacting. That's it. He's not well-written, interesting no nothing.
Everything enjoyable about Alarak is solely due to John de Lancie.

>>388007274
It was shit and not-Fenix was even more shit. All he did was remind you of how shit current BLizzard is, from his design, to the voiceacting to how he was written.

>>388006536
>Are you not ready for battle yet? Bumbling simpletons.
>@team giving first blood. Now we know who the weak link is.
>@team getting first blood. Well, well, that's almost impressive.

>>388007274
comic book tier shit

>>388007478
Alarak might get a lot of love for his voice, but a whole other part of it is that he's a villainous asshole who can back up his ego, and who isn't afraid to throw weight around, unlike a majority of modern villains and anti-heroes.

>>388006865
he's a completely cliche cartoon villian, he's only good because of the hilarious voice acting

>>388007428
Alarak is pretty fucking edgy, though.

He just happens to also be a massive asshole with a great VA.

>>388007731
>>388007478
I bet you guys thought Kerrigan getting betrayed by Mengsk was a shocking twist.

>>388007749
Let me put it this way, if Alarak had a bland and forgettable VA people would either hate him or not care for him.

If you think Alarak (for even a single second) is a good character you've gotten so accustomed to the trash Blizzard has been feeding you with that your perspective is skewed.

>>388007815

What is cliche about him? He's far from it.

>Using words you don't understand to try and sound smart

>>388005938
>Most of the missions are either on par or above WoL
I disagree, fuck LotV mossions.

>DEFEND THIS GIANT PYLON
>ATTACK THIS GIANT PYLON
>CAPTURE THESE GIANT PYLONS

Theres 90% of your missions.

>>388007997
Alright then. Name a better anti-hero than Alarak. One that actually fits the role of anti-hero.

>>388007912
>I bet you guys thought Kerrigan getting betrayed by Mengsk was a shocking twist.

What made you draw this conclusion? Are you projecting?
I mean really, is this your defence for how shit the story, writing and dialogue was in SC2?

>>388008021
what isn't cliche about him? he's a red and black bad guy with a one-dimensional personality who allies with the player for his own self serving ends

>>388008135
bad guys allying with the good guys are not anti-heroes

>>388008135
>Name a better anti-hero than Alarak.

Are you seriously telling me that Alarak is the best anti-hero ever made? Because this is what this implies.

In any case
>Big Boss
>Max Payne
>Kain
off the top of my head.

Not even the gimmicks made that shit exciting. Still better than HotS's campaign by a fucking mile at least

>>388002907
they were literal dark elves, dark eldar, dark jedis, etc.

>>388008221

>Doesn't undermine the hero's actions
>Doesn't betray the hero

Wow what a big villain

>>388008581
All of those targets sans Alaraks mission were giant pylons too.

Like god damn WoL missions had you robbing a train and raising and lowering lava.

>>388008759
>Tal'darim
>Rigid political system based entirely around ensuring the strong can take power if they work for it, and that murdering your superior is tantamount to heresy
>Anything at all related to the Dark "Let's backstab each other to see who the biggest cock is" Eldar
I know 40k canned the DEldar but man, you gotta think this stuff through

>>388008759
They also fought notCHAOS in the notWARP.

>>388008974
I think I missed about 3 or 4 more missions that did that shit.

>>388006536
>Still no Lorewalker Cho voicepack

>>388008156

Fuck you.

>>388008759
>Tal'darim still exist
>Dark Elves got SIGMAR'd
>DEldar are basically gone
>Dark Jedi no longer exist because not kid friendly

>Go to a giant black space cock.
>Kerrigan literally just come crawling out of a wall.

I had completly forgotten how bad the story in LotV was until now.

>>388002907
Wait, Blizzard starting writing stories for Eldar?

>>388013072
Well GW isn't, so somebody has to.
