15:30 Lore time!
All of the protoss factions are called the Vanguard of Aiur in this mission but the red one you are talking about is the Ara Tribe. The Ara Tribe were the tribe making up the bulk of the Judicator Caste. Suffice to say, they were given the privilege of an impressive complement of weapons. In the lore, they even had decorated pylons and zealots (You can find skins of those in StarCraft 2.)
The orange faction is the Auriga Tribe. They are a tribe greatly involved in the Great Fleets. Urun was part of this tribe.
The green faction is the Akilae Tribe. They are a tribe of mighty warriors. They were entrusted with the Uraj crystal by the xel'naga. Artanis was part of this tribe.
NIce!
Are you sure you're a tactical droid, and not a library? Thank you for the lore.
Ah yes, the Ara Ara tribe, home of the weeaboo Protoss. But also neat loredump, thank you Tactical Droid.
@@gemcraft296 No worries. I'll do this every episode if I see a neat lore thing to point out.
What about the blue Sargas tribe?
Artanis is a scout pilot when we first meet him so it makes sense he would prefer an airborne military.
Grant: "I wish I could spread creep everywhere"
Me, an intellectual: Grant....what do you think the Creep Colonies do?
General Duke is sending a science vessel after our creep colonies, shoot it down!
colonies cost money every time you have to build or replace them, tumors only cost you some energy on your queens.
He refuses to build static defenses most of the time so he probably just never noticed that they spread it.
This was what i was thinking.
"I'm not gonna spend him!"
-Immediately spams the ovi button-
Noooo Charles!
Also yeah, to my recollection the whole "Only on this specific patch of consecrated ground after this specific ritual is complete may I set foot on Auir" is legit just the Overmind A: being lazy and wanting an easy guiding light to aim for and B: to BM the Protoss.
Templar *standing next to gas line* "There's 3 units here, time to storm. Oh no! I've made a terrible mistake!"
Wow, it only took 4 parts to beat zerg story...huh, thought it be longer?
SC 1 campaigns tend to be shorter
SC1 missions either take 10 minutes or an hour and there is no in between. SC1 Protoss is going to be on the opposite end of the spectrum with a bunch of hour long missions including the second hardest mission in Mass Recall (Seriously why is Protoss 8 so hard in this game). Brood War is going to be overall more consistent though and feel like an actual campaign though there's some missions that you can awkwardly cheese in like 5 minutes.
Fun fact: The red protoss on this mission (in SC1) are idle until you attack them, which never happens because they're so far back in the map
They also activate when you destroy the temple, but that's also way too late
@@legacy2355 In that case, the point of them was probably not to add to the challenge of the mission, but for story reasons- to make it feel like the Zerg attack is getting responded to.
Oh, Grant - SC1 creep prevents terran and protoss from building.
Slapping down a couple creep colonies can completely prevent rebuilding attempts.
It is amazing to see Grant struggle with the mission in the last VOD and then he just finished it under 13 minutes.
Challenge idea: revers tech run, basically you start the campaing with full tech available and as missions pass you loose access to units and upgrades.
Could even let the voters decide which is the next tech to lose based on the next map
I could end with some impossible missions if, for example, there is mass air and you can only do Zerlings.
He's already basically got the 'spores and spines' provision, where even on 'only X' challenge runs, he's allowed to make something that can hit whatever.
@@Dianbler that won't be a problem for Grant.
Thing is, Grant's already done marine/zergling/zealot only challenges. Losing tech would effectively be a complex version of that with frills added.
Man, the way the protoss , and by extension the xel'naga are introduce is so interesting in sc1. Like you start with the zerg and go "wow, these guys are monsters" in the first campaign, but suddenly it like "oh ya, there also this other race that can kill everything on a planet, have fun."
Then we get into the zerg campaign, and we start interacting with the protoss, and we start seeing there mindset and how they insanely smart with the weapons they make and the tactics they use. But they get cocky and that lead them underestimate the overmind ability, and give away their homeword location. And once the zerg is on the protoss home-world, we discover that not only do they have a religion, but apparently the protoss and zerge are made by the same gods, and were design to hate each other.
Meanwhile, SC2 is like "hay, there this artifact behind that door, let use a drill on it." Ok, there a bit more to it then that, but still.
to be fair they didnt underestimate him. They didnt know that zeratul killing a cerebrate would let the overmind read his mind and see where their world is. XD NOTHING about underestimating just a unseen consequence and tragedy
@@Megasaiyu They also had the bad luck that it was literally the oldest Dark Templar in existence that struck the killing blow, someone who was there when Adun himself created the Khala. There are hundreds if not thousands of Dark Templar who are too young to remember Aiur and the location of Aiur. Of course any Dark Templar would have known of Shakuras, but that would be a different storyline to run through.
I remember my friend who just got into StarCraft at the time had problems with this mission (in actual SC1). Then I taught him how to press H button about 60 times and he learned it's not so bad lol.
Watching Grant run over Protoss with this giant Zerg army is just so... calming. I could watch hours of it.
Hydra and drone scream ASMR
@@ironmilutin Oh, come on! Don't tease me like that, now I wanna hear it!
For a community challenge, having comment-polls for upgrades and unit comps like before seems fun.
Shield BADderies were buffed in MR to not stun and to autocast, so they are MUCH better. Not SC2 batteries, but at least you can use it.
Here's my challenge: Beat Ulrezaj in the Enslavers' Campaign. I don't think it's possible and I think you're the only one who can definitively answer: Can you beat Ulrezaj in EN:Zerg mission 3?
Wait, what? Getting shields restored stunned the unit? Omg! Yeah, that sounds pretty bad tbh.
But not in Mass Recall! I'm on the Protoss missions right now, and let me tell you - with my bad skill level, I would not be able to finish any mission on Hard without the batteries. They are incredible. My units can stay and fight near them, and I think multiple batteries can restore shields to the same target. It was very good with Scout attack forces too.
The only downside is they can't restore the shields of the buildings, or I would be able to make impenetrable defenses (photon cannons are very weak in terms of HP/shields, had to use Waygates and such as walls).
P.S. Scouts would beat everything I think, but can't, because Scourge actually destroys them.
Finally the end of the zerg campaign. Hope you will upload the first protoss mission, episode 4,tomorrow
Finally! The part four is finally out
Grant - RUclips Archives Ideas:
1) Like a comment to mark it as a legitimate option, and the viewers can like it to vote.
2) Pop out some games you like that aren't necessarily Starcraft, since you don't need to aim for big Twitch viewer numbers.
3) Give announcement card at the end of videos explaining time-sensitive votes/content.
4) Pop in some video links midway. "Option A" => Links to a video for option A, ditto for an "Option B", with "Option C" continuing in the current video.
5) Mach speed cuts of the best moments in specific runs that you thought deserve extra appreciation. Stuff that made you laugh or groan.
6) ????
7) PROFIT!!!
The meteor thing reminds me of Starship Troopers and how those "bugs" invaded planets.
concerning your feelings of being shoehorned into hydras, it's possible (and very effective) to run mutas or scourge for just about every mission after you unlock them, with the same being true of guardians (though that is less relevant, since the hydra complaint is mostly centered around a perceived lack of anti-air). hell, the way that i beat the zerg campaign as a kid was to stack up guardians and slowpush across the map with muta support!
in fact, the worst map to run non-hydra anti-air in episode 2 are the two missions where you fight terrans after unlocking mutas - since the first is the last mission in the campaign where you are stuck on 1-gas, and the second maroons your expansion on the island to your right (which is pretty hard to take without getting your ass kicked in mass recall, just because of the sheer volume of enemy drops). every single other map either starts you next to expansions, or enemy forwards bases that contain gas geysers and minerals. the REAL issue that you've been having, i believe, is not the lack of zerg flexibility in building compositions that can deal with AI-controlled air targets - but a lack of options that don't really, really annoy you (or, in the case of scourge, require constant micro to actually use) with their voice responses.
Mandatory comment saying I love this playthrough and thank you so much for all the content you provide.
Awesome video, it is really cool to see starcraft 1 campaign in a new shape, specially like the new hero abilities like the Raynor one with spider mines.
Remembering in a childhood i was playing a really weird unofficial starcraft version where an SCV`s was able to attack when they were in bunkers. ( There`s was even a blue spark coming up from the bunker holes )
First time we hear about the Xel'Naga... in-game at least. But if anyone read the manual that came with the game, it's mentioned in both the Protoss and Zerg portion. Man I miss game manuals, they always gave a decent rundown of the setting. My favorite was Battlezone 1998, because some of the pages looked like they have coffee ring stains and they all read like top secret briefings being that it was a secret mission throughout the solar system under the guise of the Lunar landings.
That Fable music I hear during the cutscene, temple of Skorm.
Protoss, when not being evil for some reason, are my favorite. Looking forward to it.
I like how the overmind's dialogue hints at the hybrid
I remember winning this one with sunken colonies and very few units. Also, interesting thing: the manual for the game had the queen with the bouncing glaive worm attack, and the mutalisk with some king of acid splash ability - and the Final Cut scene shows them using it on Tasidar’s carrier.
You could do a comment-suggested-strategy run, you let us know what missions your doing next vod, and we can give you builds. If top rated doesnt work, move on to second top, etc. Or just fun comments, like Diamondback Snakes
Or, here me out, I know your thing is Star Craft, but a XCOM 2 run with soldiers being commenter names would be pretty fun
As someone who doesn't catch your streams too often because of 1. time zones and 2. I'm not a twitch person, I'm glad that you enjoy doing archives content, even though it's additional work and not "just reuploading the stream".
Talking about knowing you'd need four hatches on this map back in the day, and knowing about spawning a full control group at once. As a kid I literally never built a second hatch in one base. It never ever occurred to me that I'd need more than one. I never made more than one barracks as terran or warp gate as protoss. Until very recently, I never understood that one might need more than one production structure. I've always been awful at strategy games 😅😅😅
Run idea: 1-mission, 1-unit. Wings of liberty (on brutal?), but every build mission, you pick one unit. You can only build that for the rest of the mission. After the mission, that unit is unavailable to pick for the rest of the campaign. Not picking any unit for a mission is allowed. We might even see a predator actually being used!
I like this in spirit, but I think it needs a little fine-tuning. With the exception of no-build missions, you generally get about one unit per mission, and it's not always a unit that has an attack. That's gonna lead to a lot of non-choices, where Grant only has one unit as an option.
With that in mind, I'm going to propose a variant: 2-missions, 2-units. Same idea, but Grant can pick up to two units per mission, and each unit can be picked twice. Once a unit's been picked twice, that's it. That should still be very restrictive, and force him to use a bunch of different compositions, but he should be more able to avoid situations where he just has no options.
@@jarrakul Yeah thats probably better. We did 1 unit in the coop campaign, but with the entire roster unlocked from mission 1, but 2 might work better in vanilla.
You've made me laugh so much these last few days and it was sorely needed. Thank you Grant
For suggestions on the archive, rather than using just the comment section, you could use the community section to make polls for the things that get proposed in the comment section, so you can actually have a veto on what you think works and what doesn't before people express their preference.
Also, you did not get progress saved on mission 9, i got no progress saved on mission 10 three times in a row (but still unlocks the cinematic, still got stuck on 90% progress for - Terry write some reason here - )
Did you use resume from replay? That breaks progression saving.
If there's still a next mission, you can continue into the next mission (and unlock it that way), but it won't count toward your progerss%. If you did not choose continue, you won't have the next mission unlocked when you come back to the game.
Personally, it took me a few days to realize I need to replay mission 3 to get the progression to 100%, because that was the one I used resume from replay.
@@hallymiao2825 I did not use resume from replay, but the game did crash on one mission... and i know not which one... sssooooooo i'm gonna do it all over again. Thank you for the help
For an archives challenge run, how about adding a custom mini hero to the campaigns? You get a custom hero, based on a basic unit chosen by community poll, and you have to go through the entire campaign with them surviving every mission. The difficulty of the missions is increased, particularly the early missions, to make up for the extra hero. Also lets you justify changing up parts of various missions to include things you want.
On each mission there is a special goal the custom hero must complete before the mission can end, chosen from suggestions in the comments of the previous mission. The goal must obviously be super unique, and preferably something that requires the hero be involved with directly. As the campaign progresses they get some upgrades to keep them relevant, use more community polls for the bonuses and abilities they get from this. They don't get too powerful, so someone like Jim will always be better.
Just think taking a slightly buff marine from the tutorial of Rebel Yell through to All In on Wings of Liberty, and watching their personal story unfold alongside the stories of all the other characters that we've come to know.
a relatively simple challenge run that I think could be interesting: Each mission you’re not allowed to use that mission’s new unit. So no tanks on the drill mission. No carriers on the space platform. Drones only on the first HotS mission. Etc.
Alternatively, a ‘new unit only’ challenge. Though some missions that give units like the medic or medivac would have to be skipped.
Honestly, this is how a lot of players roll anyhow with a few exceptions. As has been pointed out, a weakness of combining 'purchase upgrades between missions' with 'introduce new units in missions' is that their showcase level is always the point where a unit is weakest. Maybe a way to get around that would be to introduce the unit in its fully upgraded state, then after the mission, have Swann say "You know what the word 'prototype' means, hotshot? Get me more credits, and I can get a whole lot more."
Sounds interesting, though Outbreak would be impossible like that. How the heck is he supposed to clear all those structures without hellions?
Oh YES can't wait for the Protoss
I like the Protoss storyline in SC1 a lot. Tassadar, Aldaris, and Zeratul (Exclusively the SC1 version) are pretty strongly written characters, and the journey they go on to save their race from annihilation; the desperate alliances, the sacrifices, the in-fighting; makes for a pretty compelling narrative.
If you want a challenge run - what about "reverse technology". You start with the whole tech tree and slowly start loosing it over the whole run (i.e. you can build battlecluisers on the Zero Hour and get your way down to only marine and bunkers on the All In). There can also be something about loosing only upgrades, not units themselves
hell yea pt 4
For anyone who has issues with rewind breaking the save like Grant did in the beginning, instead of actually playing through the mission with, my guess, "Power Overwhelming" cheat activated, use "There is no cow level". It will auto win and move you to the next mission. Save you the 12 minutes using the invincibility cheat would take
one idea I have for a way for the Archives to vote on a challenge or set of challenges would be either a strawpoll or one of those youtube post votes that you see on the main page from those you follow. also I love that not only we are getting the first peek at the Xel'Naga lore but also the 'Great Experiment' and 'our two races will become one, and we shall be perfect' is referring to the Hybrid (on Auir!)
The Halo CE soundtrack at the epilogue fit so well!
About the interactivity - use the polls that RUclips allows to create and suggest during the video. You can chose the part where it will be suggested, and viewers can vote right there or at any time by clicking the "i" icon in the top right corner.
You have to have some of the popular suggestions already in mind to create the poll, of course. But if you do - it is far better than just looking at the comments, because not everyone searches every comment, and not everyone looks at them at all. But everyone will be able to click the 2 buttons to open the poll and leave a vote.
Hey Grant,
Pausing mid-video to respond to your idea of a community interaction on the Archives and I'm really digging that notion. Here's my suggestion for you you might organize a community challenge run of some kind on the Archives:
* Post a video announcing a community challenge run and ask your viewers to put their ideas in the comments (or have some off-YT suggestion box). It'd be a good idea to include some general guidelines for the types of challenges you are looking for in the video itself, so you don't just get a whole jumble of random stuff.
* Post a second video announcing the vote a day or two later with a link to a poll hosted on an external website (e.g. Google Forms) with a set of curated options that we can choose from. This allows you to (a) make sure to filter for things that are actually doable, fun for you to do and that you think would make good content and (b) avoids the first-mover advantage for RUclips comments whereby early comments get early upvotes and thus get more visibility. Bonus points if you allow people to vote for more than one thing.
* But here's the twist: the second part of the poll is a blank-field suggestion box for challenges for the next video _after_ the the one we are voting for in the poll.
The goal is to end up in a loop where you release video N with a poll asking us to vote on the challenge for video N+1 and simultaneously asking us to submit ideas for video N+2. Of course, this means that you need to plan in advance what missions are going to be done in what order, but I think this format could work without being a major PITA to organize.
Grant,
you could try to set up a poll with unit combos for a mission. The community votes and you get to suffer through the weirdest combos. No idea where to set up a poll like that but I've seen channels on youtube do it.
The music has me waiting for the Flood, Covenant, and Master Chief show up
Here's my idea, Commander Fenix.
Keep Fenix on screen at all times. You can only issue commands to units on screen.
Fenix's shuttle counts as Fenix
Buildings can still produce units, they just cant change rallies.
Its been fun being along for the ride - thanks for this series! Also this project's choice in music continues to be so very peculiar - from the Fallout ambience prevalent in the last campaign, to ending this campaign with Halo's "Under Cover of Night" track.
Wow I can't believe grant managed to do the entire zerg campaign in only 4 parts!
I still have the old blizzard box with SC1, D1, WC3 sitting on my shelf. I've played WC3 multiple times and SC1 only once, because it was too hard for me xD
But I did love the lore of both games, so I'm very happy you don't skip cutscenes and such.
i think a good system as a way to interact with archives is, you could have people come up with suggestions on different challenges not for the next missions but the ones after. then have people vote on the challenges for the next mission. example you have video (A) witch has already drop, video (B) witch is the current video, video (C) witch is the next video, and Video (D) witch will come after video (C). in video (B) you tell people to come up with challenges for video (D) then you tell people to vote for challenges for video (C) witch come from people suggestion in video (A). then when video (C) drops you have people come up with challenges for video (E) while voting on challenges for video (D) witch come from peoples suggestion in video (B). the biggest benefit is that you or a moderator control which challenges are voted on so people don't end up voting for an impossible challenge also so people don't end up voting on the some challenge over and over again. the delay between challenge suggestions and vote also allows you or a moderator to test interesting challenge that your not shore are possible
For the archives challenge thing: i would generally say that the best thing to do is to gather up a few of the most popular/fun sounding challenges and make a poll about them. RUclips comments aren't always the smartest, so running a polls with a few options can give you a better idea of what people want most.
Edit: watching the video is helpful.
Whilst i still think doing polls is a good idea, it does also means you have to upload the video, leave it for a few hours, come back, find the most upvoted comments, make a poll, leave it for a few hours, check results, do mission with the challenge, upload video , rinse and repeat, which leaves rather little time.
So, just reading the RUclips comments and picking the most up voted ones each day is probably the best thing to do. Obviously, challenges which are downright impossible, such as completing A Sinister Turn without building anything, should be disregarded.
I call that a Zergical Strike for sure. Well played! Easy peezy lemon-squeezy! :)
I think it is 100% an ego thing for the Overmind to want to land where the Xel'Naga first landed.
Artonis figured out, what the best toss - is skytoss
Hey GGG, I have been a big fan of SC/SC2 since watching the early games with HuskyStarcraft. I just realized that I was not subscribed all this time, and thus wished to take the time to say that I really enjoy and appreciate the content that you put out. Sometimes your choices/actions make me want to pull my hair out, but it certainly spices up the experience, and I respect your dedication to not always necessarily going for the "best" choice, but often the "fun/interesting" choice. Just please remember to have fun with what you do, or it is all pointless. I am sure that viewers like myself would most enjoy you enjoying yourself.
Love the blatant use of music from Halo: Combat Evolved at the very end lol!
You could do like a burn run, where you have so many uses of each comp (allowing for units being added, ofc) before you "burn" them. Or you could also potentially do LoTV like that but with all the different unit variants
I had a meme mod idea. Change up the units that get introduced in each mission. For example, Liberation Day you get Firebats, The Outlaws you get Goliaths, maybe you get Siege Tanks in Devil's Playground, Medics in Outbreak etc. In later missions you cannot make the unit that you initially are introduced to in the original SC (no ability to make Battlecruisers in The Maw for example). I think a Goliath/Firebat composition in Zero Hour might make things interesting. Obviously, it would depend on balancing and I'm not good at that. Anyway, just an idea. 🙂
So did the Overmind actually need to jump through all these hoops in order to assimilate the protoss, or was it trying to make it as easy as possible for Tassadar to kill it and let the Queen of Blades inherit the Swarm?
The amount of bases in this mission is absurd
gotta love the halo music at the end
"I really like the feeling of having Creep spread everywhere..."
there are 100% people who clipped that, for personal use.
It did not save your progress because you have resumed from replay. Do not do this! I have fallen in this trap myself too, and with my weaker PC, longer loading times, and less skill = longer and harder game experience, it was really frustrating.
I think it is because if you resume, it uses Local Player" player account instead of Grant (or how your account is called?) player account, and so, the progress is not being saved in the correct folder.
If you need, just save the game normally. Saving and loading the game does not break the progress, I'm doing it all the time (5-10 saves per mission).
If you want ideas for challenges... PvP campaign? Like, you play through the campaign story, but another player controls the forces that need to stop you?
Obviously, some bits would need to be altered, to stop the player controlling the normally AI-run factions from just rushing you at the start of every game using the base-defence units, but it could be a new way of handling things.
the high in that one templar stands for friends in high places. he definitly didnt deserve that rank
Btw, have you considered playing some StarCraft custom campaigns after Mass Recall? Interbellum for SC:R is a pretty sweet one
I had an idea but it's a campaign challenge unfortunately (don't even know if it's even a challenge).
Basically you get only get to choose one type of unit per mission and no unit can be picked more than once/twice. That way there's some planning in getting upgrades and unlocking units. It kinda starts after mission 3 tho.
>Credits music start playing
... wait a damn minute- THAT'S UNDER COVER OF NIGHT FROM HALO CE
re:Archive Community Challenges-- could use polls. Dependent on the nature of the challenge, use the top X of popular votes.
Edit: oh hey, the music during the end text thing is from Halo CE... that wasn't there before.
The faction stuff is my favourite in this
I had already forgotten that the whole xelnaga stuff and purity stuff didn't come out of the blue in SC2
There were some storyline blurbs in the manual about it too, though if memory serves some of that was contradicted by what came out in SC2.
since they give us lot of stuff from the start , we can build up momentum to just A move the objective is insane compare to other maps
youtube polls are SUPER highly prioritized by the algorithm and are a very easy way to get opinions out of youtube viewers, if you're trying to find a way to get more interaction out of the archive lurkers
Oh yea, the final moments of the grand finale!
I'd like to see playthrus of some of the add-on campaigns, the canon (I think) ones. I've played them, but thought it might be interesting for you to play and talk since you know so much more lore
Not unlocking the next mission might have been because of the resume from replay. At least, I had that happen a couple times in my playthrough and I'm pretty sure it was always after I tried to use the rewind.
Fun run! And yes, I remember this mission being extremely easy because of the generous economy.
For the Community Challenge, I really want to see full campaign runs with bootleg units. Same voting procedure for WHICH comp, but now all the units are the bootleg version.
I don't know how to go about doing the same for protoss and zerg though.
A completely out there suggestion, that probably doesn't fit and is closest to Real Scale, I would love to see your take on making a custom campaign and how you would aim to balance difficulty levels away from brutal early game, easy late.
Could make it a small series exploring writing, map creation, AI creation(likely a collab with a mod maker), power balancing, boss fights and what generally makes for good twists in your opinion.
Halo music cameo at the end.
I think a good way to maybe do it is have a Suggestions tab in the Discord and put them on a poll for people to vote on. or you could have the ideas here and make a RUclips Community Poll. either should work for interaction :)
challenge idea. Exclusivity Principle, unit comps can not be used on more than 1 mission consecutively. obviously early game will not be doable because of limited unit options. after that though, it gets interesting. cant use marines more than one mission in a row for example.
Was that a Halo soundtrack playing at the end? I'm pretty sure that was Halo's soundtrack playing at the end.
Wings of Liberty, Firebats only. You know you want to.
I love that missions
Speaking about challenges , the HOTS Randomizer made me think that it would be bloody fun if there was some way to mod the campaign so that production only builds heroes (but no units) and at a p high cost (so it is balanced) . Idk i just loved the hero randomizer in hots randomizer , so i want more hero stuff .
I've noticed some of the background music used in the wall of text screens sounds like it's been ripped straight from Halo.
Zealots are just Jedi Wolverines
Something I have not seen recommended in these comments, I would love to see homeworld challenge runs, obviously the game has scaled difficulty between missions and you keep your fleet, so a deathless run (if possible) would be interesting strategy as maxing out would hamper further missions.
Bro they had under cover of night by Martin O’Donnell from halo at the end 😭
If you want to do the archives challenge thing, can I recommend that, instead of just taking the most liked comment, you take a few of them, and then make a channel poll for people to vote on? I feel like that'd probably work better and give more chances to ideas posted after a lot of others already watched the video.
The overmind reminded me of one problem I got with the epilogue story. Why did Kerrigan become a Xelnaga? She is only pure pf essence. She doesn't have anything from the protoss. Does that mean, that the protoss weren't pure of form, but the terrans were, since kerrigan is part human?
Purity of form is described as have "Vast psionic potential" lore wise the Terran had to remake the scale they used to measure psionic power when Kerrigan was discovered
I've noticed this trend in sci-fi series where if the writing quality goes downhill, the human-centrism of the story tends to increase. Now, the two things don't necessarily relate, except in that focusing more on humans takes less mental effort for human writers, and so does writing poorly.
See Mass Effect for instance, where *(spoilers ofc, in as much as one can spoil rotten fruit)* in ME1 we were newcomers getting involved in an alien galaxy to stop an alien from bringing in the most alien things ever, in ME2 we were working for humans to recruit aliens to save humans from aliens, and by ME3 we were working for humans to save humans by fighting brainwashed humans, using a superweapon found, built, and deployed by a human-led coalition, to save the human homeworld which is the site for the final real confrontation, which is between three humans, and in the end even space cthulu takes on a human shape to confront us with our ending choices.
Why do I bring this all up in relation to Starcraft 2? Dunno, I'm sure I had a very subtle and clever point in there.
SC1 Kerrigan learns how to use Psionic Storm from the science vessel mission, indicating she has psionic potential comparable with elite protoss
wait.... that little cinematic before the classic one.... I'm pretty sure it's new to have Mass Recall link into SC2
Oh boy, 3 PM!
you should try the "endgame" version of this mission. I think its much closer in difficulty to what you expected but still very doable. (for context, I got it done as a platinum zerg)
If you can't finish some "endgame" missions (since they are "untested"), please do this and a few of the major ones' at least. That would be awesome.
I'm sorry, but even though you say it was a bad joke, 10:45 had me truly laughing for a good 20 seconds.
Woo part 4!
