The things we just talked about will make a lot more sense to you once we get to see how the Zerg build units yes. You won't understand injecting larvae unless we get a multiplayer video though. In fact the HotS campaign gives a very strange view of the Zerg, it's very fun to play but the Zerg you control in the campaign really don't look or even play much like the Zerg in multiplayer.

Or Hunters, or Malignant Creep, or Parasitic Domination, or Zergling Reconstitution, or Noxious Strain, or Carrion Strain  Like if you thought Terrans were overpowered in Wings of Liberty then just wait until HotS. HotS Campaign Zerg are motherfucking terrifying  I'm a Protoss player so just thinking about the HotS Campaign Zerg makes me whimper. At least the Terran players can fondly remember WoL, LotV hasn't happened yet so the best we get is Immortals out of Warp Gates and Oracles with Entomb

Because unless you need them for blink shenanigans, you would never ever make stalkers again.

Neruz posted:Now I want art of Zeratul gallantly astride a Probe leading a huge stampede. I actually like the revisitation of aiur, but most important it gave me an idea. In the opening sequence he compliments a probe for his "eternal vigilance herp derp it still works" but I would actually like it if that probe went full grey goo on that planet/animatrix where it takes existing tech and makes it REALLY big. I then imagined a giant assembly line vomiting out command center sized probes scorching the planet with their mineral harvesting lightning, gently floating overhead. Not so original, but it was an awesome daydream.

After Zeratul dies (because he's definitely going to die, if there is one plot point I think we can say is almost certain it's that) he'll show up again in the last map as the Tassadar/Zeratul GHOST ARCHON SPOOKY! I mean seriously the last scene of the trailer is him giving a 'My life for Aiur!" he's gonna die. Feinne fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jan 26, 2015 |

Which just made me madder at the cutscenes, but I'll complain in detail about those when we get there.

Tyty posted:It teaches you that macro hatches are a cool but economically unfeasable way to make up for not being able to larva inject. Macro hatcheries are fine, based on the playstyle you intend to use. Mutalisk/speedling/baneling generally requires 3 bases + a macro hatch. Pure ling/bane can be played on 3 bases with 2 macro hatches. On the other hand, HotS campaign suggests you have at least one macro hatch per base, so... I'm going to ask we cut back a little bit on the HotS talk. We'll get there, worry not, but we don't want to ruin the surprise for those who haven't

Next mission is my favorite in WoL so I'm looking forward to it, though the units y'all have available can pretty well break it in half as opposed to if it had come up earlier.

I know it'd be comically unbalanced but I'd love to see dumb poo poo like bringing in the top-tier mercs on mission 1 or whatever.

Can't you just use cheats? Are there not cheats in Starcraft? NOT MY STARCRAFT. e: I am writing a sternly worded letter to Blizzard right now but not really but I am disappointed because destroying single player with cheats on was one of my favorite joys as a kid.

I know this because I had to spend about two months without an Internet connection about six weeks after Wings of Liberty dropped. Turns out that getting Internet service set up in a small college town will get you put on a month-long waitlist.

So Heart of the Swarm is only $20. Is it worth the $20 to just play the campaign, or do you think its not worth it? I remember the missions being pretty fun in WoL even if the story was terrible, and its apparent already that the HOTS story is also amazingly bad. But are the mission designs fun enough to be worth 5 Mochas?
