SC2 HOtS.

[felipepepe]

B-but... is an expansion! You can't play HoS without having installed the first one, and why would you start with the second one?

Then I played my placement matches... Gold league. ffs feel like such a nabblet. But then again I sucked big time. e.g. no idea what widow mines do. The zerg could just walk over it even though I planted it. Thought it worked like vulture mine from BW.

As far as I could tell from watching a replay, it zaps a nearby unit when burrowed. Then after a while, the thing recharges and it can zap another unit. If you hide one near an expansion, it could cause havoc on the enemy workers if he doesn't scout it with an observer.

Wait, what? I thought it was stand alone. Well, that's even bigger example of jewery than I've thought previously.

[pocahaunted]

Still no Skidrow for trial purposes?

I looked at lets play and I had laugh at the end of episode 3.

 

[felipepepe]

Kinda wonder why are you playing that version with pathfinding problems when there is this:

Wow, this is very cool indeed, the modders worked very hard on it and it shows:

Spoiler

All with full VA and the SC1 music.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Is this for real? Everything done and completely playable, and not some kind of unfaithful to original, crippled beta that may or may not be completed, depending on the whim of the authors?

Because you have my attention

afaik it's all 3 campaigns from SC1 and all 3 from brood war, done as faithfully as the SC2 units and engine allows.

 

[felipepepe]

I played a bit and everything worked perfectly. Completed the first terran mission just like the real game.

It's just a ~600 MB installer for all 6 campaigns anyway, just give it a try.

Just started up the HOTS campaign and seen the first story parts... Is this really going to be a love story?

Jim Raynor must have suffered from one of the worst character assassinations I ever witnessed. Makes sense of course since he looks nothing like the SC1 Raynor in neither face nor body. He might have been replaced.

hmmm i dont know if its a love story...


Abathur knows how to get shit done.

Kerrigan doesnt give a fuck, kill the XENOS!!.

Ancient zergs are smart, they kill themself to evolve and they dont like to be slaves.

but... i remember reading somewhere that the zergs were evolved from bugs or some shit like that...

 

[evdk]

Yeah. IIRC original Zerg wer larvae or something. Living on an volcanic planet. I'd have to find the SC1 manual to be sure about the latter part though. RETCOOOOON!

Hai gais, a little bird told me that the writing in Heart of the Swarm is even worse than in Wings of Liberty




Oh, wait, that's actually true. Somehow. Painfully.

Worse writing than WoL would require more than just a total lack of creativity. It would require anti-creativity.

Challenge accepted.

Been playing the SC1 revamp too. Did 3 terran missions and a protoss mission. It is really just an engine remake. The commando missions had an options of playing in third person but that sucked balls, you can just play it the old way.

I only have some weird error with zerglings sometimes showing up as globes of some weird texture.

 

[Average Manatee]

Remake looks cool. I remember checking it out when it was just a handful of Terran missions in beta, nice to see that it is finished and polished.

Ancient zerglin is wise.

Reveals terrible secret

More drama requiered to continue...

 

[Mrowak]

Yes. Big fat spoiler alert:

I just suffered perma IQ loss.

How do they do it? How do they make a cheesy space oprah... in space suck balls so hard.

There is more retconning in HotS than in the whole of Infinity Crisis.

Holy fuck, whoever's coming up with so much shit should be stopped from further spreading his bloodline.

 

[TheCatsofSanktPetersburg]

Well apart from the whole ancient zerg storyline (and yeah that is a big omition), it's not that bad.

The whole game has that Warcraft 3 vibe to it for better or for worse - you know, bad storyline, but with likeable/memorable characters.

I liked Abakuh and Dehaka.

Hope Fenix's ghost returns and asks Raynor where his vengeance is.
