starcraft 2

[Garbo]

Anyone else disappointed that the Blizzard guys can't get the aesthetics right?

Don't fix what isn't broken. The original voice actors were fine, why are they changing all that stuff?

I just saw last year's blizzcon presentation for the first time. Jim Raynor's voice is pretty shite, but goddamn Zeratul's voice is horrendous. Reminds me of all those "deep foreboding" voices that Blizzard loved to use in Warcraft 3, and Warcraft 3 was far from compelling in its story portrayal through the use of voice acting. If I have to hear what Blizzard now thinks is a tough guy voice similar to that of Arthas, the giant faggot wuss voice, I'm probably gonna be more annoyed playing this game than entertained.

Zeratul's voice, Jesus Christ. Deep, drawl, with no emotion. You could hear the weariness, the emotion, and careful pronunciation that Zeratul gave to every word in his speech in Starcraft 1. His voice in this video is anything but compelling.

The character models are jerky, the unit names, God. Starcraft came up with uncharacteristic yet cool unit names, like wraith and ghost (an unexpectedly common name, yet fitting), goliath, among other awesome Terran unit names.

Now what do we have in SC2? Soul Cutter. Thor. Banshee.

Zerg had creative names, like hydralisk, defiler, mutalisk. Now what the fuck do we have? Baneling? Fucking cheese.

And most of all, Protoss. Protoss unit names in SC1 were biblical references, zealots, archons, templar.

Apparently archon wasn't good enough, now we have TWILIGHT archons, because now they're more eXtReMe. Also, Phoenix, and colossus.

Fucking shit names, Xtreme to the maX. Just for the hell of it.

Even the planet names. Starcraft 1 had Braxis, Mar Sara, Chau Sara, Char, Tarsonis, Aiur.

The one fucking name they have shown so far was what. Red Stone. Fuck off.

What the hell happened to the fucking creativity. If you're not going to be creative, and instead rely on cheese generic fucking xTrEmE names just for the sake of "changing" the series to make it fresh, DON'T.

It's not broken. Don't fucking try to fix it just so it's DIFFERENT. IT'S SHIT.

I've never played a game of Starcraft.
Actually, I don't even know what a game of Starcraft would involve

[Cerv]

zergling rushes, mostly.

[Lord Golbez]

Even the planet names. Starcraft 1 had Braxis, Mar Sara, Chau Sara, Char, Tarsonis, Aiur.

Those names are just fcuking brilliant. I guess they'll never be able to return to that sort of creativity again. That is, unless they decide to use a dartboard with a bunch of syllables on it to decide the names.

[Garbo]

It's not that they were brilliant, they just weren't generic.

[Jeff 2G6]

Look at the bright side. Kerrigan will still be a bitch.

[Garbo]

Yes but rather than awesome sounding mastermind bitch, she sounds like another generic blizzard female prophet for doom and destruction. Her dialogue in the trailer is spoken like an amateur fan doing an impression of evil bitch.

Also, add "Corruptor" and "Infestor" to the list of shit zerg unit names.

How much more generic are they going for? While we're at it, why not just random adjective + inator?

[cybersuh]

As long as the gameplay is as addictive as SC1, I'll buy it. I haven't heard the new voices though.

[Garbo]

the gameplay looks to be good. Also add yet another shitty unit name.

"Immortal"

[Etch]

Agreed on Kerrigan's voice in the sc2 trailer. It made me cringe.

[Jeff 2G6]

Lol I heard Zeratul's new voice. So gay. His old voice was so badass. Nice job Blizz.

[Garbo]

RIGHT!?

Fuck they're really making a mess of the voices.

[WaWard]

Is this out yet?
