how'd you do on the mission?

Since I suck as massive multi-tasking in games...I gave up. I hated the mission so bad that I got frustrated after dying 3 more times (even after the advice).

I could just go watch a youtube vid and replicate that. Laaaaame. So I'm done with trying to beat everything on hard.

Obviously a bit corny by "big house" productions...but still so d@mn awesome that I would not mind a serialized production of this with more people and money thrown at it. 😐

I'd even pay to see it. 😐

His Kerrigan design kind of sucked a bit.

First cutscene you see in HotS.

lol @ the Terrans having the idiot ball throughout the entire video. And they've made Ultralisks so huge!

Some campaign gameplay:

The multiple evolution strains thing is pretty interesting; assuming that it isn't just the "zerg version" of the research mechanic in WoL, I could see it adding some replayability to the campaign mode.

Another trailer.

Kerrigan's looking pretty beast.

Maybe I should purchase both expansion packs, eh?

I should probably wait until the end of this year when it all goes on sale, really.

It may not be tomorrow, darlin'. It may not even happen with an army at my back. But rest assured: I'm the man who's going to kill you some day. I'll be seein' you
I never abandoned you, Sarah

both? HotS is one I'm guessing- what's the second one?

Man...I totally suck at this.

The one coming out in the near future that has, as of yet, not been officially announced.

Legacy of the Void?

I suspect it will be released in time for 2013 holidays, will be offered in a nice pack with the game, Heart of the Swarm, and Void. That's my guess, as of this time. It could be next year, of course.

You're going to be disappointed.

Eventually, they will release Complete Game version but not any time soon. I'm thinking like 2016!

Strangely enough, I have no interest to play this right away. I might wait a few years.

Oddly, I'm the same way- maybe not years, but I am feeling no real drive at all. Perhaps it's because it seems most of the focus has gone into competitive play, with reports that the campaign isn't stunning and I have no reason to think comp stomping will be any better than before (I had poor experiences playing against AI in WoL).

But I guess it's also because the name 'Blizzard' just doesn't ring out for attention like it used to.

I wouldn't expect Legacy of the Void before 2015.

I guess my love for Starcraft is based on nostalgia.

I did enjoy Starcraft 2 though.

I guess my love for Company Of Heroes overtook Starcraft.

The campaign in HotS isn't nearly as good as WoL. The story was pretty bad and it didn't really move anything forward. The missions were fun, though.

That said the AI has been vastly improved as far as playing games against the AI. They actually expand regularly now and scout you, try and do somewhat intelligent builds. Also the new leveling feature is kinda cool.

But yeah, you're not really missing too much if you wait this one out. Also, it's worth noting that the game's a lot more demanding now than it used to be. My 5 year old computer couldn't play the campaign very well, where as with Wings I was able to play that very easily and smoothly. Shouldn't be a problem if you have a computer that was built int he last couple years, but something to consider if you've got dated hardware - just because you were able to play Wings doesn't mean you'll be able to play HotS.

It's not a vaguely reasonable guess. It's a very odd statement for you to have made about another expansion in the first place.
