@Scott Alleman Okay, and? You're leaving out a few details, like the Hybrid, the Hybrid being seeded all over the galaxy in secret, Duran not being one of the races and having a master, but I guess you really had to reply to a 5 year old comment to insult me based on a pfp?
Metzen said when he made SC1 he was a depressed angry 23 years old boy, but for SC2 he wrote the story parallel to his own experience. If we want to save SC we have to get Metzen depressed and angry again.
Dominic Trungove Duke? How's that? I mean, Fenix is more symbolic than Duke, a symbol of the Protoss bravery. Hell, he even fight along in many, many fights; he even fighted agains the overmind. He really represents alot of things. But, Duke; Meh, I only recall fighting with him in 1 single mission. So....you see, atleast for me, Killing him was not a big deal.
But that's just the problem! SC1: Raynor loved Sarah. This love grew, and it was great. Then she became infested, and he STILL loved her and desperately reached out for her. Even when the campaign ended and it was clear she was evil he held out hope. But then came the brood war expansion and he LEARNED. He (Raynor) is a dynamic character and he CHANGED. The "I'll see you dead for this, Kerrigan" speech showed that Kerrigan was beyond redemption. Everything about it in SC2 is just a retcon :(.
Kerrigan in SC1 behaves and sounds very different from Kerrigan in SC2 - she is very confident, cunning and calculating. In SC2 she is a little overdramatic.
and immature, and juvenile, and stupid.... And I never understood how it is that suddenly, out of nowhere, it so happens that Kerrigan and Raynor are lovers and Raynor seems to have completely forgotten that he swore to kill her.
Nazmi Ahmad you're not reading the comments, paying attention to this video and/or have not ever played sc1: Kerrigan WAS NOT dramatic. Not even when she became infested. She never was... she was smart, professional and merciless.
I used the word overdramatic is because it was a quote to all those people who think she is overdramatic. (I dont think kerrigan is dramatic,i just think she is just being a normal human)
just started out playing SC2 last week...I was a kid when I finished 1...honestly I didnt know how good the story was...nor the layers that it had...thanks for this vid :))
i love how the plot of sc1 is summarized within pretty much all of episode 1, one mission in episode 2, one mission in episode 5 and the secret mission.
It summarized specific characters only. It's clear this came out to get you back to speed for Wings of liberty but a lot more of the older characters than just Raynor, Kerrigan and Zerathul get introduced in the later expansions. Stukov, Artanis, Rashadal, Tassadar, Fenix and The overmind to name a few. But for understanding wings of liberty, this video nails most of it.
In Starcraft 2, between Raynor and Zeratul, they realized that Kerrigan is the key of preventing the Zerg-Protoss hybrid to happen. Raynor had to kill Tychus to prevent the amplification of chaos.
In W3, Orcs used to be the bad guys but turns out, they're noble creatures who were tainted by demons and everyone must unite to save Azeroth from Burning Legion. In S2, turns out, Overmind's Zerg had noble purposes, even though they annihilated Aiur in the first game. Everyone must unite to save the Korpulu Sector from Xel' Naga. They "uninfested" Kerrigan, gave her a noble purpose, and "reinfested" her to make Zerg good guys, and Zeratul's now like Gandalf. Whoop-di-doo Shxt My Pants Metzen.
Well, now I want to go back and try to actually beat and play the story of Starcraft. I thought the hybrid thing was a thing brought in in 2, turns out I was way wrong.
The theory is that he had a psy shield that dampens the telepathic power of ghosts. It makes sense if you think about it as he is in charge of the ghosts so he had to find a way to keep them from controlling him.
Am I the only one that thought Kerrigan's portrait was weird in SC1? I get now that its her hair that comes down around her visor, but that does not look like Hair. So glad they made it much clearer in the Remastered.
Somehow I still like the story in SC1 more than SC2, even tho LotV ended with quite a happy full circle. Something about SC1 and Brood War~they simply had more elements of surprise and science
+Veloric Wu Of course, it was actual science fiction, it was dark and had a strong inspiration on Aliens, Predator and all the badass 80s movies, now they are appealing to the new audience; kids, casuals, etc... the game will now grab your hand on every way possible to make it understandable and cheap, no element of surprise, no great atmosphere only a hollywood transformers / ninja turtle dubstep feast.
aldaris & overmind(paul eiding),tassadar(michael dorn) raynor(Robert Clotworthy) and mengks(James Harper) retain their voice actors. absence of jack ritschel saddens me tho
@yellowbeard1 I've long lost the original SC manual, but IIRC it only stated that Ghosts were sent in by the Confederacy to assassinate the Mengsk family. The revelation that Kerrigan was involved in that operation wasn't released until the novel "Starcraft: Uprising" that was published two years after SC's release. It was originally a piece of fan-fiction that Blizzard enjoyed then authorized and made canon. I wonder if Blizzard originally had that twist in mind or if it was a retcon.
I hope young kids who are new to starcraft and just got starcraft 2 play the first ones or at least watch this to get an idea of what's going on in the second one.
In the comics, ghost's telepathy can be easily blocked with a dispositive you put over your ear. Furthermore, telepathy doesn't always work (specially not through intercom)
Fantastic review, really needed that because It has been some time since I played it, like 10 years? xD Especially the part with hybrids thanks a lot ;)
They did! SPOILERS: Duran is in the HoTS, Raynor brings up Kerrigan killing Fenix, and they even repeat Raynor's line "I'm the man who's gonna kill you someday". I was pretty happy with how they tied in so much of Brood War with HoTS.
In Starcraft 2 Raynor finds out that Kerrigan need to stay alive so they hybrids can be stopped, if Kerrigan dies the swarm will be leaderless and will fall to the hybrids side-.
You can play the SC1 remake for SC2 done in SC2mapster. Just look for Starcraft 1 remake in google and you may find it. I'm playing it and it's amazing! Finally I'm fully understanding the story of the first Starcraft ^^
And I'm quoting here: "Wait if Kerrigan could read peoples minds then why didn't she see Acturuses betrayal?" Yeah, she would totally be able to read his betrayal in SC1. But yeah, SC2's plot feels like the plot from Mass effect, kinda of a copy, but lets see if SC2 part 3 won't feel like copy cat plot.
darkevilazn I'd say one of two things: 1. There may be ways to protect yourself from psychic mind readings, like suppressing certain thoughts you don't want read. The reason Kerrigan read Raynor's mind the first time was because he forgot she was a telepath, and so must have dropped his guard. 2. Mengsk leaving Kerrigan behind was simply a whim and not part of the plan itself. He may have just decided last second that it was more convenient to leave her behind rather than fight through a sea of zerg to get her when he already got what he wanted.
darkevilazn She seems only to be able to read people's minds in close proximity, like when she first met Raynor. Arcturus was communicating with her through video and audio feed.
Krogoth04 1) absurd. Protoss and zerg naturally communicate through telephaty, If ghosts can read minds of far superior beings like protoss a simple mind like mengsk's is childsplay. 2) Plausible. Very much like "you failed me... you're not that useful after all... Ta-da" I think it's a plot hole actually. An inconsistancy. They wanted a reason to infest kerrigan (the writers) but couldn't come with something better. If she had taken the order from duke o raynor, hell... from raynor himself it would have ended up better: 1) Raynor's decay and alcoholism in sc2 would make A LOT more sense... his reasons for saving the queen of bitches, the destroyer of the galaxy would be A LOT more logical this way. 2) Sarah would have read Raynors mind and know he never intended any harm on her... Mengsk could have arrenged her death this way. so it's either option number 2, or they screwed up congruency right there
On the other hand, she might not see it coming because she trusted Arcturus, and didn't get inside his mind at any moment out of that trust. Same with Raynor, only time she got inside his mind was when they first met (the infamous "You PIG!" dialogue XD), at least when she still was a Ghost
I wonder what Mengsk's motive for sacrifing Kerrigan was. I know why Kerrigan agreed, but why did Mengsk do it? And why wasn't Kerrigan able to read his mind to predict everything?
the number of plots holes in WoL was horrendous. its as if they completely ignored the events of brood war. HotS however, managed to salvage what was left of WoL and pulled it out of the gutter.
@fabriciozu comment on wrong video! I just meant that they used the same material in the new CG sequence in Starcraft 2, depcting what happened to Kerrigan.
@DoctorWeeTodd Yes, he knew that Kerrigan was responsible for that. Probably one of the reasons that he left her to the Zerg, that and she was disagreeing with him a lot.
the funny thing is, it's also in the "story so far" video of sc2... even with the name then in the zeratul missions of WoL, it's suddenly "dark voice", as if it was a secret xD
technically, because of her brainwashing and Ghost conditioning, she had a neural and moral inhibitor installed in her brain when used as an Assassin. Later Mengsk recovers her from a lab and destroys that inhibitor, therefore bringing back Sarah's memories from before the time of the inhibitor but the actions done when she has the inhibitor (such as Angus's assassination) are erased, that's why she doesn't know she killed his father.
If Jim trusted his gut and had a plan-b to save Kerrigan ( a little export ship hidden somewhere on the planet for her maybe?), there wouldn't have been a Broad Wars or SC 2... Things would have been very different... SC2 could have had 4 races! haha
6 years late, but if Jim did have a plan B, they would've all lost to the UED terran federation and the zerg would be under the control of humanity. Oh.. and Amon would've destroyed the world eventually...
I enjoyed the vid, I appreciate the effort. Now, my comments: 1) WHERE is the rest of the important parts of the story? say: THE WHOLE EPISODE 3, the best of the three first episodes was the fall of aiur, not the romantic orgy between arcturus, raynor, the overmind and kerrigan. Tassadar, fenix, aldaris?... Duke at least... a couple minutes would suffice...come on, those guys were a lot more badass than kerrigan and raynor. 2) Where is the UED? at least gave them a minute... 3) The inclusion of the bonus mission of the xelnaga conspiracy was good. You left out the part where the overmind explains a crap load of them, before Duran... and actually does it better than him.
Alyssa W how " starcraft story in 10 min..." can have so little of the episode 3? it's like the epic climatic part of the whole game was cut to the minimum...
Manuel Alvarado SC Story in 10 min : Kerrigan Raynor and Zeratul. That's in the title haha. BUT I def agree, they left out so many great parts of StarCraft, that have to do with those characters. But it is a decent amount of the story. *shrug. Maybe i'm just biased cause i've played the game many times, and enjoyed this portrayal of them.
Alyssa W of course, it's just that it doesn't say anything on the line of "The video said this was ABOUT Kerrigan, Raynor, and a bit of Zeratul.. Read the Description bro."... One would assume by the tittle a more even and accurate distribution between relevant characters to the whole three races war... not so much about the love triangle starring kerrigan
Manuel Alvarado Are we really arguing about this? ..last comment. It says IN THE TITLE KERRIGAN RAYNOR AND ZERATUL. What did you think it was going to talk about? I mean, really. Think for a second. Three characters mentioned, three talked about and shown. What did you think this was going to be, descriptions, bro, read them. ;) and what? jesus christ, no. NO. There is no "love triangle" BS with Kerrigan and.. oh god, do you mean with Zeratul? you must be out of your mind. Zeratul has ZERO romantic interest in Kerrigan. Raynor and Kerrigan is understandable, and canon. But wtf. Zeratul. no. just no. I don't know why the video focused on those three, maybe they're the video creators favorite three. Maybe he just wanted to focus on them.
You need to read more widely. 40K was heavily influenced by Dune ( Imperium, Navigators, Abominable Intelligence, lasguns ... ) & Moorcock's Multiverse ( Chaos, Eldren ... ), while SC was heavily influenced by Starship Troopers ( Marauders, Terran Federation ... ) & AvP setting ( cutscenes, unit quotes & looks ) Seems not many people are aware of this. Most believe that the similarities between 40K and SC are exclusive to them. And that's how the "SC was based on 40K" rumour gets propagated.
The plot of SC 1 is perfect. So perfect they kind copied on Warcraft 3 with Arthas. But on SC2 I think campaigns were nice, but meaningless at the same time. Raynor freeing Kerringam, and then she becoming a Zerg again is so dumb... I would have started SC2 as the Zerg, burning all Terran worlds till Korhal, including killing Mengsk. Then WoL would happen after and save her. We still could have Amon's plot, since it is not addressed a lot in Hots. Kerringam would go from humam to Zel'Naga, not back to Zerg again and frustrating everything that we do on WoL
Arcturus betraying Kerrigan always hurts me no matter the years. I always get tilted during that scene, I don't know man it's just such a bullshit scumbag move. Man, she would have been better off surrendering to the Protoss.
man if you wanted to show off the story you could have turned the music off or down and not spam clicked in some segments over powering the audio. have some standards
@Valca000 yeah man. kids these days take modern games for granted without realising their production history. starcraft 1 was a gem. the hours i spent playing it..
the lore is completly different although they share many points in backstory they are different within the games look at starcraft lore in a minute and warhammer 40000 lore in a minute you'll see what i mean
When you think the plot of SC2 was made up on the spot then you remember Duran basically described everything that was coming in Brood War.
@Scott Alleman
Okay, and?
You're leaving out a few details, like the Hybrid, the Hybrid being seeded all over the galaxy in secret, Duran not being one of the races and having a master, but I guess you really had to reply to a 5 year old comment to insult me based on a pfp?
Metzen said when he made SC1 he was a depressed angry 23 years old boy, but for SC2 he wrote the story parallel to his own experience.
If we want to save SC we have to get Metzen depressed and angry again.
Yes!
Nah, I wouldn’t wanna do that to the one who blessed us with his work. Let him rest.
Man, seeing Raynor as a chrome dome brings back memories.
man, raynor sure did work out a lot in the 10 years between the two sc's
I still feel like shit when I have to kill Fenix...
Damm it
Yeah, I like Fenix, he's cool... But I have no qualms about murdering Duke.
Dominic Trungove
Duke? How's that?
I mean, Fenix is more symbolic than Duke, a symbol of the Protoss bravery.
Hell, he even fight along in many, many fights; he even fighted agains the overmind. He really represents alot of things.
But, Duke; Meh, I only recall fighting with him in 1 single mission.
So....you see, atleast for me, Killing him was not a big deal.
Martin Marzano he said he had no qualms about murdering duke - he's agreeing with what you said.
But that's just the problem! SC1: Raynor loved Sarah. This love grew, and it was great. Then she became infested, and he STILL loved her and desperately reached out for her. Even when the campaign ended and it was clear she was evil he held out hope.
But then came the brood war expansion and he LEARNED. He (Raynor) is a dynamic character and he CHANGED. The "I'll see you dead for this, Kerrigan" speech showed that Kerrigan was beyond redemption.
Everything about it in SC2 is just a retcon :(.
In the novel, Mengsk knows about ghost ability and apparently he's both talented and trained on how to hide his thought and distract ghost ops.
I miss old Kerrigan voice :(
Jim Raynor used to have a unibrow. interesting.
+onnoori lee This is the most interesting comment ever...here sir, have a fucking like.
One eyebrow is enough to bring freedom.
Kerrigan in SC1 behaves and sounds very different from Kerrigan in SC2 - she is very confident, cunning and calculating.
In SC2 she is a little overdramatic.
and immature, and juvenile, and stupid....
And I never understood how it is that suddenly, out of nowhere, it so happens that Kerrigan and Raynor are lovers and Raynor seems to have completely forgotten that he swore to kill her.
The overdramatic kerrigan happens when she regains her human emotions back.
Nazmi Ahmad you're not reading the comments, paying attention to this video and/or have not ever played sc1: Kerrigan WAS NOT dramatic. Not even when she became infested. She never was... she was smart, professional and merciless.
I used the word overdramatic is because it was a quote to all those people who think she is overdramatic. (I dont think kerrigan is dramatic,i just think she is just being a normal human)
you're still not paying attention. I meant old kerrigan was never dramatic, while new kerrigan is always over the top dramatic
Thank you for this awesome Story-Timeline!

@@starcraft2ownwow finally a decent comment
In Starcraft 2, between Raynor and Zeratul, they realized that Kerrigan is the key of preventing the Zerg-Protoss hybrid to happen. Raynor had to kill Tychus to prevent the amplification of chaos.
I miss Zeratul's old voice actor, rest in piece
Dude you just owned the whole Starcraft script.
"damn it, i shouldn't have let her go alone. oh yeah..."
In W3, Orcs used to be the bad guys but turns out, they're noble creatures who were tainted by demons and everyone must unite to save Azeroth from Burning Legion. In S2, turns out, Overmind's Zerg had noble purposes, even though they annihilated Aiur in the first game. Everyone must unite to save the Korpulu Sector from Xel' Naga.

@Scott's Precious Little Account Orcs was bad guys in W2 in W3 they had already started going good because of Thrall.
all is the same with the present cinematics ....thats awesome!
Well, now I want to go back and try to actually beat and play the story of Starcraft.

It was really gritty too
The Terran ppl NEVER forget his Protoss Friends .
Well said.
What happened to these great voice actors? How come after 15 years and a few million dollars after the original SC2 sounds like a soap opera?
Perfectly Said.
Yeah, because it totally didn't sound like a soap opera in SC1.
darkevilazn You are right: it didn't :)
aldaris & overmind(paul eiding),tassadar(michael dorn) raynor(Robert Clotworthy) and mengks(James Harper) retain their voice actors.
absence of jack ritschel saddens me tho
+IIIJFRIII shut the fuck up and quit posting the same shit dumbfuck
Ah, nothing like OG Starcraft 😭
@yellowbeard1 I've long lost the original SC manual, but IIRC it only stated that Ghosts were sent in by the Confederacy to assassinate the Mengsk family.

I wonder if Blizzard originally had that twist in mind or if it was a retcon.
well done. a good review.
"So what? Are you going to kill me now, darlin?"
so sad
I hope young kids who are new to starcraft and just got starcraft 2 play the first ones or at least watch this to get an idea of what's going on in the second one.
So Jim Raynor was bald in the first Starcraft and got a hair transplant sometimes between the end of Brood War and the beginning of Starcraft 2.
In the comics, ghost's telepathy can be easily blocked with a dispositive you put over your ear. Furthermore, telepathy doesn't always work (specially not through intercom)
Fantastic review, really needed that because It has been some time since I played it, like 10 years? xD
Especially the part with hybrids thanks a lot ;)
she can read minds (partially), but she cant read the future.
They did!
SPOILERS: Duran is in the HoTS, Raynor brings up Kerrigan killing Fenix, and they even repeat Raynor's line "I'm the man who's gonna kill you someday".
I was pretty happy with how they tied in so much of Brood War with HoTS.
HoTS is a good game
And 23 years old, presumably.
I like Raynor
nice
In Starcraft 2 Raynor finds out that Kerrigan need to stay alive so they hybrids can be stopped, if Kerrigan dies the swarm will be leaderless and will fall to the hybrids side-.
Oh, ty.
You can play the SC1 remake for SC2 done in SC2mapster. Just look for Starcraft 1 remake in google and you may find it. I'm playing it and it's amazing! Finally I'm fully understanding the story of the first Starcraft ^^
Good Raynor and kerrigan zeratul
i miiss the old kerrigan ' voice i really do
damn u blizzard
I shouldn'ta let er go alone. Oh yeah...
looooooll 😂😂😂
And about the plot....apparently SC2 was written by infants.
Perfectly said.
And I'm quoting here: "Wait if Kerrigan could read peoples minds then why didn't she see Acturuses betrayal?" Yeah, she would totally be able to read his betrayal in SC1. But yeah, SC2's plot feels like the plot from Mass effect, kinda of a copy, but lets see if SC2 part 3 won't feel like copy cat plot.
darkevilazn I'd say one of two things:
1. There may be ways to protect yourself from psychic mind readings, like suppressing certain thoughts you don't want read. The reason Kerrigan read Raynor's mind the first time was because he forgot she was a telepath, and so must have dropped his guard.
2. Mengsk leaving Kerrigan behind was simply a whim and not part of the plan itself. He may have just decided last second that it was more convenient to leave her behind rather than fight through a sea of zerg to get her when he already got what he wanted.
darkevilazn She seems only to be able to read people's minds in close proximity, like when she first met Raynor. Arcturus was communicating with her through video and audio feed.
Krogoth04 1) absurd. Protoss and zerg naturally communicate through telephaty, If ghosts can read minds of far superior beings like protoss a simple mind like mengsk's is childsplay.
2) Plausible. Very much like "you failed me... you're not that useful after all... Ta-da"
I think it's a plot hole actually. An inconsistancy. They wanted a reason to infest kerrigan (the writers) but couldn't come with something better. If she had taken the order from duke o raynor, hell... from raynor himself it would have ended up better: 1) Raynor's decay and alcoholism in sc2 would make A LOT more sense... his reasons for saving the queen of bitches, the destroyer of the galaxy would be A LOT more logical this way. 2) Sarah would have read Raynors mind and know he never intended any harm on her... Mengsk could have arrenged her death this way.
so it's either option number 2, or they screwed up congruency right there
I know that. I played this for years. I lost how many times I played and finished the campaign
he shot him in the face. and Jim's armor took a glancing hit basically just enough to deflect the bullet.
Acturus has a psionic firewall :D
lol Thats cuz in SC 1 he didn't know Kerrigan would help save the universe from it's end
THERES A WAVE OF ZERG ADVANCING ON THIS POSTION
...there already at you base
On the other hand, she might not see it coming because she trusted Arcturus, and didn't get inside his mind at any moment out of that trust. Same with Raynor, only time she got inside his mind was when they first met (the infamous "You PIG!" dialogue XD), at least when she still was a Ghost
I wonder what Mengsk's motive for sacrifing Kerrigan was. I know why Kerrigan agreed, but why did Mengsk do it? And why wasn't Kerrigan able to read his mind to predict everything?
I think she trusted Arcturus and she did not believe in it.
the number of plots holes in WoL was horrendous. its as if they completely ignored the events of brood war.
HotS however, managed to salvage what was left of WoL and pulled it out of the gutter.
Doctor Narud is Duran! MADNESS
@fabriciozu comment on wrong video! I just meant that they used the same material in the new CG sequence in Starcraft 2, depcting what happened to Kerrigan.
I think you forgot this line
Zeratul: Only Kerrigan can save the universe
Love kerrigan
6:26 - 6:34
"Sends in a queen"
@DoctorWeeTodd Yes, he knew that Kerrigan was responsible for that. Probably one of the reasons that he left her to the Zerg, that and she was disagreeing with him a lot.
maybe it was spontaneous and he didnt think about it, maybe she was far
away from him
I hope blizzard remember this plot in sc2 HOTS and Legacy of the Void
I've read it somewhere, that Arcturus is master of mind-blocking. Thats why Kerrigan couldnt read his thoughts, etc.
And if I'm right, they used exactly the same recordings lines from the original Starcraft for Raynor and Mengsk! Kerrigan had a new voice actress.
maybe he had something to block it or kerrigan couldnt believe it or or or
Man I just realized that Amon was mentioned in the first game, damn.
the funny thing is, it's also in the "story so far" video of sc2... even with the name
then in the zeratul missions of WoL, it's suddenly "dark voice", as if it was a secret xD
The effects of alcohol :D
technically, because of her brainwashing and Ghost conditioning, she had a neural and moral inhibitor installed in her brain when used as an Assassin. Later Mengsk recovers her from a lab and destroys that inhibitor, therefore bringing back Sarah's memories from before the time of the inhibitor but the actions done when she has the inhibitor (such as Angus's assassination) are erased, that's why she doesn't know she killed his father.

Oh.. and Amon would've destroyed the world eventually...
it said that Arcturus could block his mind to some degree
Its not about that... but as i remeber of sc2, Jim didn't even know that kerrigan was alive XD
I enjoyed the vid, I appreciate the effort. Now, my comments:
1) WHERE is the rest of the important parts of the story? say: THE WHOLE EPISODE 3, the best of the three first episodes was the fall of aiur, not the romantic orgy between arcturus, raynor, the overmind and kerrigan. Tassadar, fenix, aldaris?... Duke at least... a couple minutes would suffice...come on, those guys were a lot more badass than kerrigan and raynor.
2) Where is the UED? at least gave them a minute...
3) The inclusion of the bonus mission of the xelnaga conspiracy was good. You left out the part where the overmind explains a crap load of them, before Duran... and actually does it better than him.

Read the Description bro.

Manuel Alvarado
SC Story in 10 min : Kerrigan Raynor and Zeratul.
That's in the title haha.
BUT I def agree, they left out so many great parts of StarCraft, that have to do with those characters. But it is a decent amount of the story.
*shrug.
Maybe i'm just biased cause i've played the game many times, and enjoyed this portrayal of them.
Alyssa W of course, it's just that it doesn't say anything on the line of "The video said this was ABOUT Kerrigan, Raynor, and a bit of Zeratul..

Manuel Alvarado Are we really arguing about this? ..last comment.
It says IN THE TITLE KERRIGAN RAYNOR AND ZERATUL.
What did you think it was going to talk about? I mean, really. Think for a second. Three characters mentioned, three talked about and shown. What did you think this was going to be, descriptions, bro, read them. ;)
and what? jesus christ, no. NO. There is no "love triangle" BS with Kerrigan and.. oh god, do you mean with Zeratul? you must be out of your mind.
Zeratul has ZERO romantic interest in Kerrigan.
Raynor and Kerrigan is understandable, and canon.
But wtf. Zeratul. no. just no. I don't know why the video focused on those three, maybe they're the video creators favorite three. Maybe he just wanted to focus on them.
SC1 story>SC2 story :)
GLYNNIS!!! COME BACK FOR HEART OF THE SWARM!
Ok, let's start by chanting "fuck you, Metzen" - in a gentle way all the time.
Epic foreshadowing of "Legacy of the Void"? :D
You need to read more widely.
40K was heavily influenced by Dune ( Imperium, Navigators, Abominable Intelligence, lasguns ... ) & Moorcock's Multiverse ( Chaos, Eldren ... ),
while SC was heavily influenced by Starship Troopers ( Marauders, Terran Federation ... ) & AvP setting ( cutscenes, unit quotes & looks )
Seems not many people are aware of this. Most believe that the similarities between 40K and SC are exclusive to them.
And that's how the "SC was based on 40K" rumour gets propagated.
thanks
THUMPS UP FOR THE OLD KERRIGANS VOICE
why the fuck did the changed it was perfect:(
was phoenix the same voice actor as like the orc narrator voice for warcraft 2
Arcturus Probably didn't plan on betraying her till later. when he was out of reach of her telepathy.
video maker's really mad. look at him hitting that command center. :D
so is the protoss hybrid the thing that Kerrigan at the end of starcraft2 heart of the swarm is going to fight?
Cuz he could block his thoughts from her.
@Europepowerrangers It's actually a secret level. But I'm not sure myself how I got the level.
The plot of SC 1 is perfect. So perfect they kind copied on Warcraft 3 with Arthas.
But on SC2 I think campaigns were nice, but meaningless at the same time. Raynor freeing Kerringam, and then she becoming a Zerg again is so dumb...
I would have started SC2 as the Zerg, burning all Terran worlds till Korhal, including killing Mengsk.
Then WoL would happen after and save her.
We still could have Amon's plot, since it is not addressed a lot in Hots.
Kerringam would go from humam to Zel'Naga, not back to Zerg again and frustrating everything that we do on WoL
This was uploaded a day before my b day and what a coincidence the sc is my fav rts game series
Arcturus betraying Kerrigan always hurts me no matter the years. I always get tilted during that scene, I don't know man it's just such a bullshit scumbag move.
Man, she would have been better off surrendering to the Protoss.
Oh right...Kerrigan is a telpath.You guys can imagine how it would be to get a date if every chick in the world were a telepath?
man if you wanted to show off the story you could have turned the music off or down and not spam clicked in some segments over powering the audio. have some standards
Shut your fooking mouth. The music in this game is flawless
what about the brood war part
why is it that Raynor's armor blocked a gauss rifle shot while Tychus died from a REVOLVER shot...?
well he did actually kill her but that ended up screwing the entire universe according to the visions from zerutal
so in sc2 jimmy raynor renounces his promise to avenge fenix. what a load of tripe.
i wonder what was Raynor thought lol.
@Valca000 yeah man. kids these days take modern games for granted without realising their production history. starcraft 1 was a gem. the hours i spent playing it..
the lore is completly different although they share many points in backstory they are different within the games
look at starcraft lore in a minute and warhammer 40000 lore in a minute
you'll see what i mean
She wasn't in control of herself, he was speaking to the Queen of Blades, not Sarah.
So! Narud is Duran ? Waow... Now i understand...
