 It differentiates itself by portraying hillbillies in space. That's all you need to know, everything else is just a bonus. It differentiates itself by portraying hillbillies in space. That's all you need to know, everything else is just a bonus.

-In the past, I would have listed Starcraft among my favorites, but I'm honestly no longer sure if that's the case. I don't actually know much about the story in the first game – because I haven't played the campaigns – and I don't particularly like the story of the second game. I'm attracted to Starcraft 2 //mostly// because it's Warcraft 3 with quality-of-life features. But then I prefer to play Warcraft 3 anyway. +In the past, I would have listed <cite>Starcraft</cite> among my favorites, but I'm honestly no longer sure if that's the case.

 The story is actually complete garbage here and it really doesn't surprise me that the writer was [[lb:Chris Metzen]]. Anybody telling you the story is good is either delusional, ignorant or lying. The story is actually complete garbage here and it really doesn't surprise me that the writer was [[lb:Chris Metzen]].

-Though I will note that I do still like parts of the game: I think Wings of Liberty is great gameplay-wise and there was a point in time where I thought the story was okay.+Though I will note that I do still like parts of the game: I think <cite>Wings of Liberty</cite> is great gameplay-wise and there was a point in time where I thought the story was okay.

     * This is probably one of the best critiques of a story I've seen and, as far as I know, is the //only// major critique of Starcraft 2's story. I highly recommend watching it.     * This is probably one of the best critiques of a story I've seen and, as far as I know, is the //only// major critique of Starcraft 2's story.

   * I've learned a little more about Nova and I am now kinda depressed that she's so bland in the games.   * I've learned a little more about Nova and I am now kinda depressed that she's so bland in the games.
