This looks like the most generic action movie trailer ever. And yet it will still be applauded by the RPG codex as the greatest RTS of all time.

Oh and I like how Kerrigan looks more and more like a whore with every iteration she goes through: first she's just a normal girl in SC1, then in Brood War she's a girl in a one piece bikini, then in SC2 she's a girl with high heels, a bikini and makeup on, now in "Hero of the Swarm" (or whatever they're calling this banal shit) she's got gigantic tits, a skin tight, leather bikini that's riding up into her ass and a SHITLOAD of makeup. You can just tell they're marketing this towards 14 year olds :roll: Well, I can anyways, you guys are probably too preoccupied sucking off Dustin Browder to notice.

SC2 = Dragon Age of RTS's.

PS. it's appropriate that you post this in general gaming rather than strategy gaming. :thumbsup:

Since when has Blizzard released anything which isn't a shitty parody of another, better, franchise?

Warhammer 40k is far more interesting than Starcrap could ever be, and Fantasy Warhammer is deeper than anything Warcrap could ever have been... And Diablo? That was decent. Too bad that Diablo 3 looks like Warcrap Isometric 3D3.

Fuck Blizzard, they should be peddling their shit to consoletards. At least then I wouldn't feel guilty over the fact that I am a PC gamer, and that they continue to pollute PC gaming with their shit.

They're so different it's retarded to even compare the two.

Sure but as far as RTS gameplay goes, even the inferior sequel of SC beats the fuck out of DoWs.

The only news about Heart of the Swarm that I'd like to hear would be Blizzard firing all the writers who worked on Wings of Liberty.

Yeah, the Craft games Blizzard shits out contains the same, banal, stories about everybody being the "good" guys who unite against some ultimate evil Lich King/Xel'naga/Burning Legion/Arcturus... while Warhammer is a fucked up world where everybody is a degenerate who is stuck up their own ass to the point where they would willingly burn the galaxy just to make sure that their enemies will never win.

As for why I'm comparing the two? Well, Blizzard copy/pasted Warhammer 40k and Warhammer... and failed horribly. Given the choice, I would rush into Blizzard HQ with a warhammer and yell something about Sigmar and the Codex before killing every last one of those retards.

... but then I would be untrue to myself, since I am a follower of Tzeentch. :M

cmon bros seriously what would you rather see in a trailer, tiny dudes shooting at each others with pixelsized bullets or real men and bitches with tight asses.

cmon theres no real choice between those two you know the answer unless youre giant fagots.

Just wait till some prestigious gaming site does some of those in-depth analysis of the trailer... Those always crack me.

I quite like the "southern" vibe of the SC universe. A good deal of that atmosphere came from the music, however. SC2's score went too far into fumbling, generic orchestral territory.

The graphics of SC1 also contribute greatly to that vibe (I'd be more specific and call it a wild west vibe, though). All the Terran units and buildings are crude, metallic and plain. This design style fits the Terrans perfectly, as they are a fledgling, frontier society under constant military pressure and so do not have the luxury of devoting resources towards aesthetics.

In SC2 otth, they completely fucked that up. Space marine suits have that shiny new car look, battlecruisers (in the cutscenes) look like flying palaces, certain Terran worlds have highly developed and extensive infrastructure, tanks look like tonka trucks... and the list goes on. The only thing that remotely makes SC2 Terrans seem "southern" are the southern drawls that some characters have and the random saloons that Jim Raynor frequents. SC2 doesn't seem to have any sort of theme or vibe to it, it's just a bunch of action movie rip-offs and generic sci fi mashed together to be force fed to infant Amerikwans.

Are people seriously arguing over the fucking story of an RTS?

It's not so much the story as the dialogues. I've never seen a video game in which the characters spout more clichés than in Starcraft 2.

Oh, is the 'expansion' where Blizzard sells you the Zerg single player campaign that should have been included in the first one at a $50 price tag?
