And to think that the entire second half of the campaign could have been avoided if Stukov learned to use his words or send an email instead of just leaving out of the blue. Or hell, maybe the captain who literally witnessed Duran ignoring his orders and leaving to the failure of his mission could have spoken up a bit? Especially given that Duran is a traitor who only recently joined and Stukov was DuGalles childhood friend that part of the story was really weak.
Yeah it's pretty half baked. I like to think that if this campaign was 10 missions instead of 8 they couldve developed it more. Maybe Duran uses his psychic powers to drive a rift between Dugalle and Stukov, and then in Patriots Blood Dugalle comes to his senses to realize what he's done
According to the Bible, even the 16 year old leper king of the crusades sounded just like the battle cruiser commander but he looked very young. You social media commenters sound like 5 year olds but look like 89 year olds.
When I was very young, my neighbor asked me to go to a "computer shop" and play a game called "StarCraft". It was unheard of at that time in our place since it was all Nintendo and playstation. So we went there and In just one day, I went to my first computer shop and played starcraft. My mind was blown. My first game was the 1st terran mission(duran) and i didnt understand campaigns cause i was just 9-10 yrs old. I ended up attacking the base at the front(instead from the back as advised) and I remember playing the mission for a few hours and using "Show me the money" cheat code just to last that long. Fun times.
Hot Take: Bushwhacking the UED was one of the cringiest , if not the cringiest thing, Raynor ever did. Why? The reason why Amon sent Narud to aid Kerrigan in destroying the New Overmind iss because this one was free from his control. More so, if the UED manage to centralize the resources and eforts of both Zerg and Terran on the Koprolu Sector, that would have made his victory nigh impossible. The UED might have not been perfect, but they would have done good for the Sector once Amon showed up. They provided the oen thing the terrans have always lacked: A United Front. But nooo, Raynor still had the hots for his ladybug. In the end, this why I love the Iron First Campaign: This was the last time terrans were not the punching bag of the Koprolu Sector
To add to @Moonlight, people under the UED would've been looking for alternatives, similar to how the dominion people were following moebius. whenever around you is fine, there's no need for a a cult to amon. when things are rough, "breaking the infinite cycle of suffering" suddenly seem like a viable option. ofc, some might tell you that this entity you're following wants to end the world, but is that really such a bad thing? moreover, the mercenaries like mira didn't seem to be anyone's punching bag. they seemed to have a working "ecosystem"
tbh UED was badass tho sad that they didn't give the UED any time in SC2, would of like more Duran or Narud but he was a pussy in SC2, he was badass in Brood War tho
When I was a teenager “To Slay the Beast” was one of my favorite missions to play in all of RTS games. It was challenging and felt like a real survival. I don’t think I beat that mission until my late teens after years. My jaw dropped watching you do what I couldn’t in 8 years with a drop ship and a couple of ghosts.
My favorite missions were Zerg 8 and Zerg 10, Zerg 8 could be challenging if you aren't in top of your early game, but Zerg 10 always made me feel like I was the final boss. All there factions throwing everything they've got, nukes tanks, carriers, psi storms... But nothing could stand for long against the swarm I still struggle with Terran 5, mengsk in brood war is one hell of a defensive commander
I love the style of your gameplay in that you commit the hero units to spearhead the combats, instead of keeping them at the protected base like a princess doll, just like how everybody does.
Damn... good speed run indeed! It's humbling when you can finish the entire Terran campaign in the time it takes others to finish just a few of the missions!
Let’s just say thank god the gameplay was amazing, because the story had a few plot holes lol. Best game ever made and this dude speed running it makes me ashamed to be a Terran.
question: what side are we on as the captain? we don't tell dugalle about the psy disruptor, nor do we tell him about durans betrayal we're just quietly watching everyone disobeying the admiral and see the chaos unfold before our eyes stukov even tells us to talk to inform the admiral that he "has a personal matter to attend to"... and we just never tell the admiral this whole thing only works because we're a silent protagonist (and no one cares about us being a silent protagonist, as otherwise dugalle would've asked us what had happened) imagine the story changes if we actually said anything
@@adriaan4808 Good idea, that would explain a lot And we're talked to pretty similarly as the adjudant is. the issues with this are that we 1: we don't seem to be able to record stuff as dugalle could've listened to the conversation instead of just blindly trusting the new guy. 2: the issue in my OC was that stukov asked us to tell dugalle about the personal matters, as if he expected us to be able to tell. if we were just an AI unable to communicate, stukov wouldn't have asked this of us. So yeah, except for maybe "we're more than one person" or "they didn't really think it through" your solution might've been the best one out there
@@talibus22 A man can't resist the vagvag, what can I say? But, yeah, I also hoped UED would win. Fuck Raynor and fuck that heresy known as "Starcraft 2".
The Emperor's Flight mission gameplay is wise. Don't land the floating bases and the enemy A.I. won't trigger. Using defensive matrix on dropship and attack mengsk command center directly. Nice!!!
I've played Sc1 and BW a couple decades back. Seeing this was neat for 2 reasons... 1) updated remastered graphics, and cut scene visuals 2) Having played Sc2 Coop mode, specifically, Stukov commander, I got to reacquaint myself with his origins.
Funny thing... I beat this on the N64 after renting it for two weeks in a row. What a bump up 😅 I did eventually get my own PC and beat it again, but better. Seeing this brings back such memories
I miss how the OG SC was simply about war. All races were flawed and felt real. They deviated too much with the god storyline in SC2. Both amazing games though. But im sticking with SC BW.
0:04 This always got to me. There was actual lively (and implied to be nearing fistcuffs) debate going on in the upper echelons of the UED. Compare to the very well-behaved legislatures of, say, the PRC.
I know the designers never imagined we would be freeze-framing their cinematics, but I can't help but notice that according to the UED calendar, Stukov not only was born and died in the same year, but he was born two months after he died 1:15:55
i never realized how early on the whole "traitor" thing was foreshadowed. I honestly regret skipping alot of the story dialogues when i was younger, then again i was 12 and my English wasn't anything to write home about.
47:21 What's up with the AI? No workers gathering minerals and no units following after attacking? And how did the shields last so long? I remember in the vanilla 7th Terran mission with the psi emitter, the shields didn't last as long as here.
I always aim to finish terran and protoss missions with zero losses, and it takes an hour or more per mission. It's fun to watch another approach, where you just YOLO through them.
Sees video run time of 1h16 and thinks "yeah, this is pretty fast". Sees it's a Stu video and thinks again "he could easily cut out 25 min of dialogues and cut scenes .... how on earth did he do it?"
So weird... an expeditionary force was wiped out and the UED didn't bother to send a bigger force to investigate what had happened? Suely the expeditionary force had notify the command where they were heading, and if no contact were made after awhile... you'd think they're garner an invasion fleet? Was the expeditionary forces of the UED lost and unable to return to Earth or something?
The Swarm under kerrigan completely destroyed the fleet. And to be honest, considering how the Koprolu sector was 60k light years away from Sol, I don't think the UED should have bothered trying to conquer it, knowing that it doesn't have supply lines to it.

yeah they really wanted to make the ending of broodwar an all zerg victory
I'd wager Duran slipped a virus in one of his transmissions, gave him a backdoor to intercept Stukov before he could rat him out.

The first time I played the first mission I didn`t know English and wasted 2 hours to brute-force myself through the middle...
The ease with which you do these missions makes me angry
It helps to have 10x the APM I do. 😖
Let’s just say thank god the gameplay was amazing, because the story had a few plot holes lol.

Stu sure loves his nukes. Not that I blame them. One of the many reasons Terran is my favorite race to play as.
I always like how the ''terran'' were actually just colonies.. Earth is more 'powerful' and probably could fight the protoss or zerg head on
Not just Earth, but the Earth Dominion which features their own colonies which have had centuries ahead to develop.

This reminds me of starship troopers
On mission 4, do you choose the silos because it's the less defended or because you rather face BCs on the next mission instead?
I think it was both.
Easier to defend against BCs than sneaky ghosts who can level your base if they go undetected.

The ironic part dugalle say he see duran as a traitor in his eyes but end up getting play hard by duran
wow of that multitasking
I wonder if UED will ever return to starcraft 3 (if there is a continue)
Why did the AI not use the comsat on Duran, it always immediately scans cloaked troops when I play.
The trick is to not attack any units, only the command center!
25:07 That line now carries a ton of weight after everything that happened during the previous 6 minutes 😂😂😂

1:15:56 So Stukov was -2 months old?
Well science says that time flows way more slower on places with less gravity, so my bet is that SC uses the same thing.
