Man, that last part with Kerrigan was the absolute most retarded thing I've seen in a game. Even japs writing at its dumbest couldn't compete.

Because the good devs all left, got fired, or died. Why does any system change? The quality of it's design or components change. In this case all the studios we've known and loved are losing the people who made the memes we really enjoy... and are being replaced by memes we like less. I think that's it.

Same shit happening in WoW. They are good at setting up a story. They are incompetent at finishing them.

buy it on sale.
the gameplay is fun and the missions are overall well designed, but don't pay attention to the story, characters or dialogues. they're completely flat, uninspired and downright embarassing.

It was, no doubt, the worst writing in a Blizzard's game. The Protoss characters were plain dull and boring, and the campaign didn't have enough new mechanics to compensate for that.

Campaign writing 3/10 Mediocre at best
Campaign mechanics 5/10 Ship abilities were kind of interesting and fun, sometimes.

Pirate it. I regret wasting $40 on that (thank god I didn't buy the deluxe shit).

when did people start caring about storytelling and campaign in RTS games?

outside of rock & roll racing all they've got to rely on is their stories

That didn't change Chris Metzen's writing.

He just went off the deep end after Warcraft 3, it really kickstarted when The Burning Crusade came out and he started assassinating major lore characters. (But does that mean it started with Naxxramas?)
