"Kerrigan is now god, but not as effective as a bunch of mutalisks"
so true I love it
yea i by playing found out mutalisk is op in the mission but damn m8 why kerrigan is not better then max supply mutalisks XD
well probably because its a max supply army of mutaslisks and I can tell you from personal experience that is not fun to try and fight against.
Airon John Angeles True endgame zerg rush: Mutalisks
Mathew Perkins if you got thors, you don't care about max supply mutalisk
Mathew Perkins or even a bunch of Phoenix.....not mistaken with fenix...
It's 2028, Starcraft III is released, Zeratul resurrects in form of a Dragoon and tells Artanis he is so WOKE that even death can't touch him then he proceeds to find more Lore so he can get his WOKE body back.
Akyno Citor fucking LOL
Everything about your comment is making me crack up lmao
Don't forget Fenix dying again
I think Zeratul would be a super Stalker if they bring him back from being a bunch of dust.
*Annihlator. His shadow cannons are replaced with lore cannons as a way to spread his message of how WOKE he is
And Fenix dies another 2 times lol
Greek mythology: Unfortunately Zeus was horny
Starcraft lore: unfortunatley Zeratul was woke
Warhammer Lore: Unfortunately Slaanesh was horny
@@dalek4463 With Slaanesh, wouldn't it be more along the lines of "Unfortnuatley the aeldaaris were horny"
@@Edenshex_official y e a h
Starcraft/ House MD/ Skyrim/ Scooby fuckin Doo: Alas Poor Scrappy
Zeratul may be woke, but tassidar is so woke he can become an archon without merging.
I think now that they both dead Zeratul and Tassadar should merge into a super mega giga archon and go f*ck sh*t up
Coz tassadar was a xel naga
Don't forget tassadar 😄
that "weird battlecruiser mission" was a kinda clone for a custom multiplayer game called Star Battle, that was amazingly awesome before HoTS expansion, they added it to the campaign because Star Battle was one of the most popular custom games like, ever
Zeratul’s *WOKE*
actually so WOKE he cant stand it anymore - cant stop laughing :D
I totally agree, but I'm a bit butthurt, since he was my favourite since I played SC as a kid.
EN TARO ZERATUL
hell yeah. En Taro, Zeratul!(also my favorite from protoss, and in fact from SC lore, since I was younger)
2:50 i saw that...cheater
He isn't good enough at the game. GIT GUD m8
You can clearly tell he used 'food for thought' though.
Lol good catch I didn't notice
If you didn't use power overwhelming on the New Gettysburg mission, you missed out. "OMG the zerg are too powerful... leave Kerrigan and jump to orbit." As my SCV is tanking 20 Ultralisks.
@@Davidweisenthal1 xD lol
The weird battlecruiser mission was pretty nice tho
The Matt and Mira relationship is hilarious xD
Oddly enough that was the mission i enjoyed the most in that campaign
that mission was made because of a custom map game called Star Battle, it was great before the expansions broke it and the creator stopped updating
Especially Swann's memorable "Hey kids!" line.
Also if the Hyperion is low on health Valerian: *_"WE'RE ABOUT TO BE VAPORIZED."_*
I loved that mission, so Star Trek stuff xD I got the max armor and after stealing tech used EMP while timing jump in and out, more devastating than Yamato. It is a beautiful sight what Hyperion can do with all its stuff together.. unstoppable.
StarCraft 1 is perfection
that will never be achieved again... so sad... yet so glorious
perfection, possible to chase, impossible to reach
The only missing unit was the Medic... It was available in Brood War, but that expansion sucked.
WtrDogg20 quick facts.
@@wtrdogg20 yeah,lmao brood war?More like starcraft in space
Moral of the story: Get as WOKE as Zeratul
Ethan Pang I'd rather not have to dedicate my life to preventing the end of the universe only to die before I see it get saved thanks
"But oh no, someone left the door open and now there are Zerg here."
"Shoo Zergling, shoo!"
You forgot that the first Terrans in the Koprulu sector ended up there accidentally. They were actually launched towards a different sector, but a guidance malfunction of the colonial fleet caused the original fleet went off course.
Wait... Fenix gets a „RIP“ but woke master Zeratul does not!? Thats scam
How do we know that he's so WOKE that not even the chains of death can bind him?
Ikr he said it so casually in like .5 of a second as if Zeratul wasn't one of the key characters throughout literally all of the star wars games.
Such an amazingly disrespectful recap. Great work.
"Bad Boy protoss that uses a lot of drugs"
Idk why this is funny but Alarak is my favorite character in starcraft
Yo, Alarak is a big boi. Dont hurt the most bad ass specimen of all SC franchise.
It's freaking John de lancee the guy that plays discord in my Little pony. Q in startrek next gen and badguy in other movies. He's the best actor ever. I like alrak too just for that reason
@@michaelsimkins7078 Well, judging from some fan feedback I read, people like Alarak not necessarily because he's an asshole (and certainly not because they themselves are assholes). It's not a good idea to assume that all people who like Alarak are assholes, that makes you little better than these so-called "assholes." Look at Lowko, a fairly big Starcraft caster - Alarak is his favorite Protoss character, but that doesn't make Lowko an asshole - in fact, Lowko goes out of his way to be the opposite. Again, you shouldn't make those assumptions.
Anyhow, to answer your question about why people like Alarak, it's because they think it's nice he adds some variety to the otherwise fairly-uniform (and quite possibly bland) Protoss - a sort of foil to the knight-in-shining-armor (literally, I guess) Templar like Artanis. We saw these same kind of brave-and-bold Templar again and again, it's nice to see Alarak, a very different kind of Protoss, added to the story and to show how the Protoss interact with a Tal'darim who is one of the very few Protoss who is considered "evil" and who isn't from Aiur.
And who can hate that smart tongue of Alarak? He's got a singular wit, he does. (Though I don't think Alarak has a "tongue" per se. Just take it as a figure of speech.)
Tl;dr: don't assume people are assholes just because they like Alarak. Actually give their opinion some credit before you go stomping on it, or else that makes you the "asshole" you seem to enjoy deriding.
Alarak is my favorite SC character as well. He is also my favorite hero to play on HOTS.
Breathing was better in the 90s
Very true
indeed
When Kerrigan got uninfested she changed from a white woman to a hispanic one.
Zerg are just space Mexicans
New unit:la chancla queen
I always thought was was half black in the original, her original zerg portrait even looks like Rico Nasty.
@@rosameltrozo5889 I mean, granted it's the future and anything is possible, she's a ginger so I hardly see her being black
@@localidiot3868 how about an American Terran unit : the school shooter
Watching these campaigns is like watching my childhood/adolescent years flash before my eyes. Crazy.
But remember, you have nothing going for you, the video creator said so. Re-living the past is apparently off limits.
I liked the little inside quips for those who actually played through the series.
i find no other mentions of Tychus being in starcraft 1 other than this video. Tried searching for some scenario maps but found nothing
+ He isn't in SC1. only SC2. But he is in Extended Universe SC material which no one really knows how much is canon and what isn't
I really hope they make a Starcraft 3 or some awesome new campaign expansion for Starcraft 2. I really enjoy the Starcraft lore and zerg especially.
12:20 that sc1 song on sc2 gameplay made my day
So Duran was just trying to keep the dream alive. First he tried teaming up with the UED to get an overmind back and working again and then realizes that's dumb so he teams up with kerrigan to get her in charge. By doing so, later he becomes Narud and locates all these artifacts and gets the Terrans to use it on kerrigan, thereby eliminating all Zerg hierarchy and uses the gathered power to awaken his boss Amon. I guess in HotS he's trying to help build a new body for his sugar daddy to use.
All I want in this lifetime is a Starcraft live action movie.
starcraft and brood war was my childhood and at that time i didn't understand english and after watching this video i feel so nice that after all these years now i know.
Thanks for making this. There's so much going on it's easy to forget how like, most things tie together.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
This is such a beautiful, concise rundown of the plot! This is sweet!
Very good analysis, only 3 minutes in and you got me wanting to watch it all.
I played the first game in 1999, and last Sunday finished playing Legacy of the Void (again) after replaying all the games since last August. My favorite science fiction saga of all time.
"operation cwal" at 2:50
It was a hard campaign lol
yeah, there's a huge challenge gap between the games, the first one didn't have difficulty settings, so if you want to play the story, you either have to git gud or cheat
*opens Starcraft, starts new game, looks for difficulty*
yeah....nothing there. there's a start button, a replay button, and a cancel button, no difficulty options, you're thinking of SC2
unless it's in the remastered version, which i don't have because i refuse to pay for the exact same game twice regardless of how it looks
Wasn't a hard mission *only if you cross over Protoss borders of yellow and red* to make the other AIs active. They were passive except the 1st one being active. Ofc fucking reavers...
And i am still playing it, Masterpiece
So am I in 2022
GREAT summary!
Probably my favorite game and story of all time.
The 90s was my decade. My teen years.
"the Queen of Demonetisable word of the Universe" :))))))))))))
why is "blade" demonetizable??
@@Youda00008 ask GOOGLE .... their policies are over protective to protect advertisers and avoid negative backlash from them even if they are so bad that they usually piss off content creators.
I cried when Zasz died :(
Daggoth: K-Kerrigan... *sniff* Z.. Zasz.... *Whimper* ZASZ IS DEAD!!! *A single tear drops from his non face* T_T
I loved this game. I remember when I brought the original copy you got a 500ish page novel in the manual explaining the whole xelnagga story, which is a little different to the SC2 story, they weren’t gigantic slugs in that.
Great video
Does anyone else smell MMO on the wind?
Because every single story element of SC2 seemed to be designed around creating a three faction version of the World of Warcraft status-quo.
The Zerg are a hive mind; except now we have Primal zerg that are totally independent.
The Protess of shared psionic links that somewhat renders their individuality redundant but grants them a sense of unity; expect the dark Templar who are cut off from this.
Oh wait we got rid of the link on all the surviving Templar and now we have even Darker Templar! Let's just slap a coat of green on the dark Templar.
The Terran are a divided species fighting a battle on all sides and ruled by a tyrant. Oh wait now their ruled by the tyrant's morally unambiguous son who wants peace with the other species.
Damn it Blizzard you used to have style.
@EpicZantetsuken Blizzard hasn't been on the ball for years. Activison's takeover and the closure of Blizzard north drove most of the talent away and what's left are formerly loved IPs and a husk.
There was an MMO in production at some point but it got canceled
Will Blizzard reveal that Zeratool is gay to get more woke points?
moofymoo hahahahahaha
Big jk rowling energy
whatever, not funny.. he was the only guy taking things seriously (besides the overmind).. now u can make fun of it, but it is not really funny.. fk, I still think it is sad as hell he died.. but it makes sense, that I respect.
And a male femunist sjw anti-vax flat earther vegan fat-fobic disableled mynoryty and shit
I've played this game for hours and days continus 😅
Damn, why did SC2 sound like a bad fanfic of Kerrigan and Raynor?
The timing was right, there was that whole twilight saga going on with teenagers and the rise of korean drama, it was, monetarially speaking, the best choice.
I played a lot of PlanetSide 2, and I never saw the connection between the Dehakas. Thanks for blowing my mind!
Great narrative! I watched till the end!
If he said "woke" one more goddamned time I was going to stab my eyes out with my AUX cable.
loved the planetside reference. kudos
Some of the most amazing custom scenarios were made with this game, I played only User Map Settings for StarCraft:Brood War. WW3 Soviet Enemy was my favorite along with the defense games
I think making Kerrigan into a yellow angel was weird af. Blizzard pushed it too far. Also, one of the StarCraft 2 chapters was rather a love story, I think the Heart of the Swarm? They should have named it The Zerg And The Restless (you know, the Young and the Restless series?). I agree with Keriigan being a Zel Naga descendent and she becoming a god would be no problem, but why a yellow angel?
I still stand by all the into the void segment proves is that having a bunch of mutalisks makes you literally more powerful than God
Well, maybe Kerrigan needs experience to learn what she is capable of. Just like how she could learn skills during the Heart of the Storm campaign, like the Apocalypse ability. Kerrigan doesn't get Apocalypse from the start, even though she is the Queen of Blades, the capo di tutti capi of the Zergs. Maybe in like 100 years she will be able to learn how to destroy a whole planet in 3 seconds and such.
Though what bothered me was the "yellow angel"... as in... the graphics. Not the fact that she became a God, but just the visual. I would have prefer if she would become something like a spider-centaur, having a huge spider lower body, and from the belly button upwards she would be human with like 4 tits and four arms or what not. That yellow angel was too simple and seemed to me like if it was drawn by a 6 year old.
Still a ripoff version of Jean Grey the Phoenix. Why Blizzard keeps ripping off ideas again?
would have been better if she turned into one of the lovecraftian style xelnaga that we saw throughout the game
I assume her graphics was just how raynor saw her in the end. As he accepted the fact that he isn't able to reverse her actual form so he needs to...idk how to say...see her from another perspective. Yet the angel representation helped him to do so. Also don't forget that's how she was able to let him ascend as well, since after the epilogue, we got told that raynor disappeared out of sudden without being seen anywhere and didn't even caught leaving after we saw Kerrigan visiting him. We where able to see that he accepted the things, where able to went through all this even emotionally and got to the point to cut all this. To me it actually got a very deep ending.
Omg such a great job! Thank you!!!
This game was my life when I was like 7
Same
Me too at the same age.
10:05 "By the way: Esports! The story picked up a few years later..."
That's pretty much my experience of Starcraft and SC2. It's nice that some people like that weird multiplayer mod(e) for my singleplayer strategy game, but as far as I'm concerned, the "real" game is the story campaign and singleplayer maps.
lol .. can't tell if sarcasm or super filthy casul
Well you're wrong.
well yes but actually no
SC2 was designed with multiplayer first mentality the single player was not the focus and it showed with a lackluster plot
i can't really get to like the starcraft remastered look
the original just has a charm to it
even the unit portraits
OK, good, I'm not tripping out about how this looked different from what I remember. Interesting.
nostalgia cucks are always gonna find something to complain about
@@harioschtroliki Cease.
@@michaelsimkins7078 its a digital copy I don't think they sold any actual hardcopies.
That charm is called nostalgia
youve saved me oodles of time, thank ya
Warhammer 40k light.
"Only 90s kids will remember their constant need to bring up stuf from the 1990s because they have absolutly nothing going on for them in the present day and feel the need to cling to nostalgia"
thank you for giving me a new way to insult the boomers
@@stoli4no_bor4e the irony
They love turning names around. Artanis >< Sinatra, Frank
Wow I never noticed that lol
dude you are a genius
@@dukepersie Another cool one: Nancy Kerrigan, The Queen of Blades (Ice skating queen, instead of the zerg.)
Xehemoth lmao man
Awesome video/summary ;)
My goodness this is so accurate.
Good point about PlanetSide 2. That was a fun tidbit
Wait, I think some of the Dark Templar stuff is still canon. Valyrian is.
Zeratool: Mr Artanis, I don't feel so good
*dusts away*
Yup, the legions of Starcraftians in the late 90s got a bit silly. I had just started secondary school and everyone was playing PC when I hadn't played on one since getting a Ps1.
A month after installing it, I moved the Ps1 into my brother room and was playing the shit out of Starcraft. Great days
I miss the mission briefings where they addressed you as commander or cerebrete or executor sc2 didn't have that and it disappointed me greatly
I got so WOKE just from watching this.
WOKE
I lost it at "Church of Protoss"
Also, Hey! I loved the Battlecruiser Mission!
Nice video. Is it just me or did SC and BW have a better plot than SC2 which just seemed to kindof meander. I felt like BW left off on a good cliff hanger with the bonus mission where you find out what Duran was up to but in SC2 seems like they kinda blew what could have been an interesting starting point on Jim Ryanor's bs collection errand missions.
"The End, until you want to make some more out of this IP." oof
2:51 starts putting in code, I'm betting "operation cwal"
Liked it the instant the Carbot Animations song came on at 12:14
5:00 also missed the detail about Kerrigan using them to get rid of the Cerebrates so that she could control the Zerg
Great video!
Only complaint I really had was the ending. I felt like it could have been fleshed out. Hell, I'd even pay for another expansion to give them more time to do that.
Nicely Done!
Queen demonotized word of the universe ^^ that was straight fire xD (one of the best lines also missions in the starcraft unitverse imo)
Sweet refresher video, haha
Wait, sundrop got retconned as terrazine?
From what I remember from the books, it was MUCH more addictive that what's shown in the games
forgot to make notice of the unauthorized expansion, the name of which escapes me at the moment
A few years back I watched a movie of all StarCraft's cutscenes. I didn't get very far into it 'cause it seriously looked like a Starship Troopers ripoff (mainly the military enlistment and shootin' aliens videos I think). Not even 5 minutes into this video and I'm happy to note that I was, in fact, wrong about that.
lol the Starcraft 2 cutscenes are the cheesiest thing I’ve ever seen
Awesome video!
will you ever update your profile pick? to match your new content.
watching this with generated captions is quite interesting with the names
The Queen 'demonetisable word' (Bitch) of the Universe. I love it!
The UED was no no more. And Samir Duran becomes Emil Narud in StarCraft II, because he became a hybrid-to-Xel'Naga.
And I've found the video to use to bring newbies into the fold.
Pretty good vid. Felt like a lot longer than 15 min though, but I didn't mind.
That's because your attention span has been greatly reduced. hah
I think Starcraft was ahead of its time back then. Played the fuck out of it.
I thought this would be a video on the _development_ of the game, as opposed to an overview of its storyline. "Eh"... still worth an upvote.
Thank you for this xD
What happened to Sarah kerrigan at the end of the game please tell me I am very confused and where does the Jim goes
scorpion 1 Sarah gets turned back into her normal human form and she picks up Jim at the bar at the end and they go on adventures. Still a better love story than twilight. The end.
Stukov makes his first return in "StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm" after so many years.
08:46 Wait, so Tychus Findlay is on SC1?
I love that you used remastered footage!
Probably impossible to get a starcraft one manual now; but that thing was a book; really great. I thought about getting a death's head legion tattoo, didn't though ;)
Lol you made the Zerg sound so metal
hello
The writing really went downhill in SC2
It's all a warhammer 40k ripoff anyway. Not that I dont love sc2
Agreed
When I finally finished SC1 and played Brood War, I thought it was a great game that felt sort of like a comic book. But yeah, SC2 was a mess plotwise. It's like they wanted some specific cool moments and drama and just formed a story around them. Of course Kerrigan would become Zerg again - just like all teenagers rebel. Sigh.
@@kilroy987 They went from plot driven in SC1 to Character driven in SC2 .Playing through the campaign was a huge let down. I literally remembered exactly how SC BW ended 15 years later and basically blocked out SC2s (at least WoL - only one I played) lame ass plot from my memory.
@@TenseGamesGameStudio it's barely a ripoff of 40k without the warp
i'm just so sad to this day that raynor is the ultimate forever alone guy
Planetside 2 reference out of nowhere good point though never noticed
This game once consumed my life
"Ka-hala" dude....that is not how it is pronounced.
Well I got triggered.
@Zenolegor Lol, you have way too much faith in people. He probably pronounced it both ways like that because he didn't know which was the right one.
@Zenolegor Yep, I agree. I had too much faith in you, now I have even less.
I may be wrong but in my head it looks like "Kha-lah"
Khala
Well, this is not just a game for sure for more expectations that it have, since 90's, StarCraft are growing,
There was another StarCraft book, I don't remember the name but it was basically Raynor stranded on Char. It was pretty good actually.
That bait picture though..
Boobs
That book was actually really good
