I think the storytelling of SC2 sucked so much with cheap recycles of already-revealed-cutscenes making it even worse. It was amazing how they managed off to finish the whole campaign with movies most of those everybody already watched like 10 times, exposing Blizzard's low capability of creating high-qual CGs and that explains why their quicly made race promotional clips were pieces of joke; the one where a queen's voice said "we are the swarm..."
What was with Valelian the prince welcoming Rainer's party aboard? Huh, since when were battle cruisers armless? And the other two ships just waching Rainer's docking? LOL.
What was with "My friend, I did not experience true death yet." crap? Ok, some might have liked the return of our old hero, so I won't say more about it.
In SC1 Mengsk and Rainor were kinda allies fighting against Kerrigan and they had to be for Kerrigan had infliced them heavy damage with betrayals, yet Mengsk somehow became Rainor stalker. Huh-huh.
And how the heck does Mengsk not only know about the hybrid and prophecy, but also performing experiment with those things? (unless he is minion of the "Far greater power") He got his ass booted by Kerrigan in SC1, so he Absolutely Should have focussed all his attentions to Zerg's movement and plans, yet somehow he uses his intels to figure out about Xel-Naga's some old tales and myterious hybrid and busy tracking Rainor down? WTH.
What's with General someone's character? so typical cliche-like I don't even remember his name. Was it war field or something? What's with Kerrigans A-princess-waiting-for-hero-on-white-horse attitude? What is Mengsk and Kerrigan doing while Rainor travels all aroud galaxy righting the wrongs acting like a super-hero full of justice? Are protosses off to toilets during the final battle?
WOW. JUST WOW.
There are just too many things that I can not even count those tell how wrong, childish, unrelated, irrelevant SC2 stories are. Perhaps good for light users, but come on, those who enjoyed Mass Effect and Planescape-torment, Bioshock will never be able to appreciate SC2's story. Apart from great cinematics and mission system(and perfect multi too),the story telling is just too bad that almost forced me to post a writeup about it on SC2 official forum from where I just got overflamed with swearings and black mailings.
WHATEVER. I'm still a large fan of Blizzard as I bought Collector's Edition, but it is towards thier impressive world-creating ability and multi play, not to thier story.. Their story sucks man. SC only stood out with its background settings, WC3? A typical mythology. Diablo. Oh, don't even mention it.
