A blog on Waypoint post saying "Halsey lost the Janus Key in the sofa. That plot thread isn't going anywhere now" would have been more satisfying than what we got. All we got for this was Palmer not hating Halsey anymore for typical Palmer-teir retarded reasons.Oh and Halsey hacked fucking Offensive Bias with a iPad
Just watched the Legacy of the Void cutscenes. Wow. That was disappointing. You really weren't joking about the Mass Effect part.Main Criticisms:-Simple, unthoughtful dialogue-I don't remember there being this much space magic in Star Craft-Xel'Naga Kerrigan looks like she came out of Diablo Also, when did Legacy of the Void come out? I remember for HotS, you couldn't escape its advertising.

I remember for HotS, you couldn't escape its advertising.The dialogue wasn't impressive at all I will agree. I expected epic dialogue, especially coming from a Protoss campaign just like from SC1/Brood War. Tassadar's speeches from SC1 still give me goosebumps and that's one of the reasons why he's my all time favorite SC character. Some of myfavorite dialogue from games comes from SC1 because it was so awesome and actually well-written for all the characters really. I expected the same type of level of dialogue from Artanis in LoTV, but we didn't really get anything. The Protoss felt too much like humans in LoTV whereas in SC1/Brood War, the Protoss were actually aliens.The space magic part is dumb as fuck as well. SC1/Brood War was way more realistic I guess you can say when it came to everything. The game had a much darker atmosphere and sense of hopelessness for everyone. Nobody felt like they were invincible and could accomplish anything that stood in their way. Just watch some old SC cutscenes and then go watch SC2 cutscenes and you can see a huge difference of atmosphere and pacing.And as for Xel'Naga Kerrigan, I don't even want to talk about it. Chris Metzen and the rest of the writers must have been high when he came up with that end-game sequence for LoTV.And that fucking slide show after the final cutscene... a fucking slide show??? REALLY?? Legacy of the Void came out in November 2015. It came out the same day as Fallout 4 so that's probably why you didn't know it came out.
That's what happens for not playing games with me slut

As if the talk of cycles wasn't enough.I'm curious, was there any talk of infinite cycles up until LotV?Gonna go check out the SC1 cutscenes...

The Xel Naga showed up and created the Protoss first then created the Zerg. After that the Xel Naga disappeared.I forgot how Amon gets created, but knowing how SC2 is written he probably came from space magic too.And yeah, definitely check out the SC1 cinematics. The Brood War intro, The Amerigo, the endings to both Terran campaigns, and the Protoss ending to the first campaign are the best. My favorite is the Protoss ending because there's 0 dialogue. It's just camera work but its done perfectly to fit the mood, the tension, and the drama in Tassadar's face.
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
"Halsey lost the Janus Key in the sofa. That plot thread isn't going anywhere now"
Did every human in Star Craft become a southern or Russian stereotype?
"Hell, it's about time"
