I just beat StarCraft 1 and BroodWar. What did I think of it?

An incredibly polished RTS that many studios today would struggle to top. Great gameplay and presentation melded together.

Now go play SC2 and see for yourself why everyone hates its story with a passion.

>>723024820
but the same guy that wrote the first one did sc2

I played through Starcraft 1 and Broodwar in this mod a few months ago, and it was fun.

I love you Sarge!

>>723024585 (OP)
You used cheats and thus, did not actually complete either game.

>>723024820
Isn't 2 set up by Dark Origin though? How bad could it be? I also heard Stukov because infested in an N64 only mission?

You want to become a Dragoon.

Anyone played starcraft insurrection and retribution expansions? Are those good

>Every single campaign is just each faction devolving into their own little civil war
Bravo, Blizzard.

>>723024585 (OP)
you should play red alert 2, it makes starcraft look like a baby rts

>>723025041
Well yes, that's how set up the campaigns for each faction letting you fight each faction.

>How bad could it be?
I hope you aren't attached to the character of Jim Reynor in any way shape or form

>>723024880
Yeah and the same guy that wrote "enter sandman" wrote "I am the table"

Ya, I got your "zerg" right here! he he he he....

>>723024987
They retconned the shit out of Raynor and kerrigans relationship

>>723025151
Jim Reynor was barely a character in 1. I don't see what they could do to him

>>723025041
Except as ZARG where you fight zerg only once. Pretty fortunate too since ZvZ is trash even in the campaign.

>>723025332
continuing a story 12 years later just seems like a bad idea altogether.

>>723024820
Brood War literally set up all the terrible decisions that ruined SC2

Kerrigan sexo

>>723024585 (OP)
I liked the Overmind and the Cerebrates better than I liked Kerrigan as the leader.

>>723025009
Yes. They are much harder and than the original game and unvoiced but worth playing.

Did SC2 disappoint fans?

>>723029242
Interesting to hear. Assumed it was some low quality stuff since it's only sort of official stuff

>>723029970
Disregard all that, I suck cocks. I was actually talking about Enslavers I and II. I haven't played Insurrection or Retribution.

>>723029878
I only played Wings of Liberty but they're probably some of the absolute best campaigns I've played in an RTS outside of the story. You actually make choices that permanently change your units as there's a ton of great Mission variety

>beat campaign easily
>cant beat the normal difficulty bots

>>723024880
A regular George Lucas that one

>>723029878
I was also disappointed that I was forced to use BattleNet to play SC2 and I was disappointed that Blizzard seemed to care more about the failing competitive scene than they did the campaigns at the time.

Battlecruiser operational

>>723024585 (OP)
it's the GOAT RTS, any other opinion is invalid.

>>723029878
I really liked sc2. The campaign. Don't really care for online stuff, but the new battle net game browsing was a bit dissappointment. Was kinda popularity contest type of thing. Instead of seeing what games there are up now like in 1 online when checking ums games

>>723024585 (OP)
>What did I think of it?
why cant zoomers form their own opinions?

>>723031509
They're afraid their opinions may be incorrect.

>>723024585 (OP)
>What did I think of it?
That the UED makes no sense.

>>723024585 (OP)
Now that the dust has settled and the sun has well set on RTS games, it's fair to say that Brood War was the absolute peak of the RTS genre

tfw you play Brood War and use a Dark Archon to mind control an SCV and a drone and build all three bases

>>723031069
campaign AI is intentionally retarded. they give them like 5k extra minerals and gas, and then tell the AI to just pump out every unit and upgrade available, resulting in retarded unit compositions and trickling half-formed attacks. the ladder bots actually have build orders and plans
