wut

He was a 29 year-old guy according to the manual.

>>14055921

Well fuck my life then. I still don't like the redesign. He looked balding before, made him seem more human. Now he looks like an action hero stereotype.

>>14053365

Old version looks like a beaner. New version looks like a hollywood jew.

>>14059831

>who is Bruce Willis

>who is Jason Statham

You're silly lil cunt m8

>>14053365

I thought he was 30 and fat. Still made him look like an actual person and not some model made to look like a soldier. Same with the SCV, the original actually looked like a fucking nigger, not some 3rd rate holywood actor. Don't even get me started on the protoss ones, jesus christ.

>>14059840

On the contrary, new version looks like a Zeta.

>>14059849

You know what I meant.

>>14053365

Raynor wasn't that old; he even looks older in Starcraft 2.

what the fuck is that second picture also? I've never seen that art for him, it looks more like Shepard from ME than Raynor

But you're right, everything about Starcraft 1 was more gritty and ugly in the "real" sense compared to Starcraft 2's cartoonish, polished hollywood style characters, tone and environment

Still had a ton of fun with WoL's campaign; I play it every year and finally beat it this year or maybe last year on brutal

I beat the other campaigns on brutal just for closure's sake and to see if I could but WoL's was fun in the same way Independence Day was fun even if it was "objectively' shit as a movie

>>14059908

This. It made sense, he's a sheriff out in the middle of nowhere that used to be a soldier. He's, relatively speaking, just some dude. He looks so generic in the remaster (and SC2).

>>14059979

Second pic is from the remaster Blizz put out.

One thing I will say about the remaster is the Zerg portraits are pretty nice. Everything else is way worse, though.

>>14053365

I always thought he was a spic or a mutt, he lived in space new Mexico after all.

>>14060165

>James Raynor

>spic

the name alone should've tipped ya off m8

>>14059979

the campaign would be infinitely better if Tychus killed Rayonor and the wore at the end, Jim for being insane and the whore for beiing a genocidal bitch, thus earning his freedom. The title would make more sense too.

But that would be too dark for nu-Blizzard.

>>14060181

I'd hate for their characters to get killed off because of how well-crafted they were, or at least used to be

But you're right. The universe would've been in much more dire straits if that were to have happened, imagine the factions and general chaos and bullshit that would've happened everywhere. Arcturus would still be alive, I wonder how that would've played out. A big bad would've been a lot more interesting if instead of all the factions uniting, they all remained scattered and each of them have to try and deal with the big bad in their own way

>>14060165

Terrans are supposed to be southern rednecks.

>>14060209

They're actually supposed to be the equivalent of space australians. Terrans are descended from prisoners originally and the cowboy/outlaw sort of shit appealed to them I guess which makes sense in some strange way

>>14059979

>>14060181

Kinda sad how the first campaign is the best and most fleshed-out. In the pre-release materials you can see they had much more planned for Heart of the Swarm and what we got wasn't much at all, and for Legacy of the Void the planned small and built small and tacked on a fourth mini-campaign hastily wrapping up the storyline and letting you play terran and zerg before its all over.

The custom map scene is nowhere as big as Warcraft 3's was, and don't get me started on their latest "please can we be e-sports now" changes to the game and fucking MICROTRANSACTIONS

>>14060058

Space gains really did a number on the protoss.

But not in a good way.

>>14060221

Heart of the Swarm became irredeemable at the Zerus missions.

I liked how human kerrigan's wireframe at the bottom of the screen showed nipples.

>>14053365

How the fuck is left supposed to be american ?

>>14060221

It was big enough for what it was. There was some incredible shit created on Starcraft 2's map editor

>>14060240

Its funny because Zerus was the only part I even bothered to remember from that shitty game, at least the environments and designs felt memorable for the place, as well as the bosses

Overall the campaign for Heart of the Swarm was, I felt, the worst out of the 3

Legacy of the Void *slightly* better but still absolutely shit overall especially with its preachy story

>>14060244

Nah, they were present in the first starcraft

the lore started going to shit when prophecies made for plot convenience and fanservice started popping up (Wings of Liberty)

>>14060240

Originally they planned to make it so you could choose whether Kerrigan would re-infest or not but they decided in the end that it would be too much work.

The ending of LoV made all that moot though since she becomes space jesus

>>14060181

Tychus did nothing wrong. Why did Raynor choose "I'll get you for this" over his friend? What the fuck

>>14060245

I don't know what those icons are, I just grabbed the first image that had both portraits.

>>14060254

>the lore started going to shit when prophecies made for plot convenience and fanservice started popping up (Wings of Liberty)

Everything in SC2's lore is wrong, the biggest blunder being Raynor willing to lift one finger to help Kerrigan.

>>14060264

Tychus's struggle throughout Wings' campaign was actually incredibly well-written

His actions and dialogue seem erratic and odd at times but get a tiny bit of exposition from Tosh hinting about Tychus's emotions maybe once or twice in the game and it puts a surprising amount of depth into everything he says and does.

His relationship with Raynor was also excellently crafted as well as a result; its a fucking shame that an original, excellent character was a casualty of nu-blizz

>>14065178

As it should be.

>>14053136

When is SC:Remastered getting pirated? I want to zerg rush some terrans.

>>14053136

why would anyone play this when the old one is free and still has online and the same gameplay

>>14065887

The low-res original SC is free from Blizz; even patched to work on modern systems.

>>14065887

Why would you want to play it anyway? It's almost the same as the original except you can select more than 12 units iirc. And it has that problem where everything looks just way too clean and polished. The added "cinematics" look like something made in 30 minutes by some artfag in blizz rather than something made to enhance the experience. Besides, they didn't even bother to update the cinematics.

>>14073604

You can't select more than 12 units. Gameplay is untouched. Which sucks. They could have remade it, larger and better, but they don't want to touch their esports champion. And yeah, they didn't even "HD" their cinematics.

>>14080568

You sound like a gigantic faggot, kill yourself please

>>14080614

but anon, I'm (You) from the future.

>>14080936

>Someone saved my old wall of text

Wew. Although in hindsight, I'm happy that I didn't know how Legacy of the Void would fuck up everything even more.

>>14059840

>beaner

What the fuck do beaners look like where you live? Old version looks like a redneck. Probably because he's SUPPOSED to be a redneck, along with just about all the other ground troops that the Terrans have. I think the reason they changed him so hard is because they're afraid of SJW backlash against "raycism" that rednecks are associated with.

>>14081235

Nice to know you're still here.

>>14080936

>Kerrigan transforms into a gigantic Star Child

I forgot LoTV ended with that.

>>14060297

Tychus was my favorite character in general. Had a cool enough backstory, had real character developments, took logical decisions. Also Neil Kapkan did a wonderful job as the VA. It's not obvious, but the last act of WoL has Tychus actually giving Raynor a choice between his woman and his friend. By Raynor's response, it was obvious he chose kerrigan. That's why he didn't just straight shot the woman before he shouted out his motives. True to his character he wanted to die with the only thing he had left, which was his pride. That's why I think he let himself die to Raynor anyways, because he would have rather die than get the killswitch activated. Fucking blizzard and their kerrigan fetish. Tychus and Kydd should have lived

>>14089439

Okay so get this: Raynor gets corrupted

>>14089439

How about:

>less cult of personality(muh sarah, muh jumbo)

>more GENOCIDAL WAR BETWEEN THE RACES

>more space politics

Everything different form a love story is better.

>>14087773

They altered some characters to get them in line with their sc2 looks. It's stupid, but what did you expect from nu-blizzard?

>>14089439

I never understood why people cared so much about the lore.

Starcraft is a multiplayer game. You're not supposed to get attached to your zerglings and marines, they're supposed to die. Don't give them names! Don't get emotionally invested in their well-being. That's just a surefire way to lose games.

>>14089876

it's possible to enjoy the lore of the singleplayer and also enjoy competitive multiplayer. they're not mutually exclusive.

>>14089876

For most people starcraft 1 was mostly singleplayer. The multiplayer was a mere bonus.

And the campaign of 1 was pretty good.

>>14089876

>treating multiplayer like singleplayer

What are you, dense?

And individual units never get any emotional investment, its characters in the story ya tard

This has to be bait; you've clearly never played Starcraft

>>14053365

True, imagined him as an old veteran too.

>>14059831

Looks little different from Mass Effect Maleshep

>>14080936

SC2 writing is a travesty. Have you tried Nova Covert Ops? I did. It was, well… missions were good, and so were campaign gimmicks, while it was short. But writing?

>Nova wakes up in Defenders of Man (Hereafter referred to as Terran Racists)

>Has memory blackout, puts on visor, it has message "u fokin run m8"

>Escapes Terran Racists with some other ghosts, fight in compound and has a bike ride dodging trucks

>Learns she's wanted for being associated with Space Alt-Right by Prince Valerian Wrynn

>Helps Terrans defend themselves from wild zerg before Valerian arrives, uses jetpack

>He believes she got brainwashed and gives her a ship to investicated Terran Racists

>The tech guy is a black emotionless guy named Riegel

>nigga is a fucking nerd

>Go to Tarsonis which is now an Art Deco Rapture with zergs instead of ocean water

>Fucking garrison buildings like it's some Command of Company of Heroes Conquer

>Infiltrate stupid Racist compound because they're too retarded to witness you destroy all Zerg on top of their place

>Get a katana

>terran Racists suddenly realized there's infiltration so toggle psi emitter to flood facility with zerg

>gotta rush trough to get some fucking scientist

>He presses The Button and commences another psi emitter false flag onto some stupid resort planet before Nova can kill him even though she has like a trillion confirmed guerilla kills and can shoot a man in a second

>Gotta fucking save hawai shirt looking faggots by destroying hatcheries while the Racists get all cred for saving civvies

>SUDDENLY, Tal'Darim Protoss (hereafter known as edgelords) come and send their Mothership to destroy Racists because they were also racist to them

>have to save racists by destroying shield generators

>Then Alarak (a.k.a. as Shadow The Protoss) sees you and wants you to kill Racists, learns you were their puppet and were brainwashed

>Tells you to collect some purple terrazine cum from some flying space worms on backwater planet

>Sends his own forces to the planet

>Not to help you, but to attack you because he's a fucking douchebag retard who wants to "cull the weak in his own rank" by forcing them to attack you in small well-portioned waves

>Nova drinks space cum, remembers Racists sending her on a mission on specific planet

>Has to camp out and explore specific points, consuming the cum to remember what happened there

>Terran Racists convinced her to secretly install some devices on the planet

>Said it's zerg repellent

>Nova catches on they're fucking emitters only when she plants the last one and zerg immediately attack, in the flashback

>Gives Mengsk evidence Racists were at it all

>Because racists convinced half the dominion ayys cannot be trusted, people lost faith in him and are protesting

>Doesn't want to arrest Davis the Racist leader affraid she'll be made a martyr even though he has solid evidence

>Pulls some stupid bullshit where he goes to Racists homebase planet to deliver a speech next to Davis about own resignation just so Nova could sneak into the compound in the meantime

>you can find a Final Fantasy gunblade secret weapon there lmao lol xD

>the Ghost who escaped with Nova somehow got captured by Nova again and she has to fight him

>arrests Davis, Mengsk gives a speech how it was all according to keikaku and how she is guilty of using psi emitters to kill millions of civvies

>SUDDENLY, Shadow the Protoss comes with his edgelord armada and demands Nova and other Dominion forces to stand back and let them holocaust Racist forces

>Nova, Terran fleet and some of lower rank Racists team up to defend against Edgelords

>Defeat them but SUDDENLY Davis escapes arrest

>She goes to some space drydock and grabs her giant robot slash spaceship that has flamethrowers and rockets and railguns and hangar bays and shit and wants to destroy Gorgon heavy battlecruisers so Megsk would feel sad for his toys being broken

>Nova has to defend them and destroy the stupid ship.

>Nova stops and kills Davis even though Mengsk asked to arrest her and then she hides in her own ship like some autistic little girl

>Then black science man Reigel comes and says how he was such a huge autistic nerd he ruined his life until Mengsk started giving him wellfare for science and how he is just like Nova cause they're both unemployable outside goverment job because they're so retarded and then says he and ship crew are loyal only to her

>she says how she will help Dominion but in her own way and then flies away with the ship

>Mengsk is aware of this and is like ok sure whatever lol

>THE END

>>14053154

Too bad it didn't get a proper sequel.

Dawn of War 2 was a fun game but you just walked around with your 4 squads of 12 men total and it didn't really feel as grand as it was supposed to. The multiplayer also just became boring as you never really had large battles.

If they made it more with a warcraft 3 mindset with 2-4 'hero units' and a large army of 30-40+ units behind it with traditional RTS aspects, it would've been an amazing game, rather than just a decent game.

Fuck remastered, let's talk about how those fucking scumbags at Blizzard pushed a patch in 2016 that killed Brood War players' ability to do network play on Windows XP. The game doesn't even run properly on Wine anymore since that bullshit.

>>14087773

I know this is not a revelation, but holy crap do the new models show how much blizzard ripped off the WH40k aesthetic. nuProtoss is Eldar now when originally I thought they were somewhere between Tau and Eldar.

>>14080936

I like abathur. He was too chatty for a AYYY LMAO style abduct you and probe your anus.

>>14089613

I like the idea of playing as Tychus. Also what the fug is that thing in the pic?

>>14089816

yeah, this

>>14089876

I don't care about the multiplayer, I liked single because it has both a fun gameplay with challenges that require strategic thinking and a good story to go with it. Multiplayer to me is just remembering 6 gorillion formulas of what you're supposed to be doing and pressing buttons like a madman. I like watching it but not playing.

>>14089876

>You're not supposed to get attached to your zerglings and marines

this is that super bait that big5 keeps trying to sell me
