Campaign-wise, is this where RTS games peaked?
Wings of Liberty was the last great RTS campaign.Everything after has been poor to average when compared.
>>736190550only played the wings of liberty campaign when it came out; i was in high school so all my friends were playing it too and discussing the campaign and our unlocks together was fucking peakare the other two games worth looking at?
>>736190550In some respects yes (in terms of gameplay variety, replayability and generally just content).However it is storywise so abysmal that basically none of the good elements of the campaigns end up mattering when the shit that happens in the story is so fucking retarded that it makes you cringe.It hurts especially when the original Starcraft and Broodwar managed to nail the tone and vibes of the campaign so well.There is nothing even quarter as good in SC2 despite the better tech and higher budget than this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AL-kScqdr0
>>736190550WC3 is better
>>736190550Remove the middle and right part
>>736190669wings of liberty was the best the other two are fine, but other than sc2 i dont see any campaigns on this level so yeah it peaked
Why is this such a fucking rare genre? Having a story AND base building AND controlling units to destroy another base?I can't think of any similar games. I played Alien Dark Descent few days ago and it was complete garbage and not that similar to Starcraft.
>>736190550yes, but the real peak was and maybe still is CO-OP>>736190647nah, zerg and protoss campaigns were good too
>>736190550WOL > LOTV > NCO >>>>>>>>> HOTSwe dont talk about the epilogue
>>736191930zerg was alright, protoss unbearably shit
>>736190550WoL is the only game I would consider "good." HotS was pretty fucking bad in both gameplay and writing, it was made at the time when Blizz devs were btfo by dota 2 and they wanted to get in on the assfaggots knockoff gameplay by overcentralizing everything around Kerrigan's hero unit, whcih also made the story much worse. LotV was a big improvement over that but still failed to reach WoL standards, however the LotV epilogue was the single worst thing Blizzard has ever shat out.Nova Ops missions were inoffensive and mediocre in story, but good gameplay.
>>736190550No. I like the upgrading stuff between missions but I hate the missions themselves. When some talking head isn’t screeching at you about the ticking clock they’re yapping about some unit’s gimmick you need to use to beat the level. In Brood War you were given mission objectives and then they let you play the fucking game without interference.
>>736190550Turning Raynor into a simp for Kerrigan automatically disqualifies SC2 from having the best campaign.
>>736193204Story was shit, but the gameplay was fun.
>>736190550No, not even close.
>>736190550Hots was bad as an RTS because kerrigan is so op she can soloBasically making it a action game
