Eluvei said:No, it was definitely abrupt. Kerrigan showed up for full ten seconds in this game before the last mission. Did you get the "DON'T GIVE UP JIM" dialogue from her in the end? If you didn't, I'll tell you: to some people, on the last mission, the non-infested Kerrigan's avatar shows up and tells you not to give up when you're almost dying. It's pretty ridiculous. I wonder what they were thinking when they thought that would be cool.
Haha, I did actually. It was a little weird and didn't make much sense to me because she was still infested. I'm guessing it was supposed to be the last bit of good in her calling out to you or something. I thought it was a bit corny, too.
Eluvei said:And honestly, saying it's just the first of a trilogy is no excuse to me. I sure hope the last two games will be completely free of charge for us if we're so forgiving of this first episode. It's like saying something terrible in a game is excusable because there will be sequels. Fuck them!
True, but if the first game had been divided into three portions and ended with the establishment of the Terran Dominion, it would've seemed abrupt, as well. I'm not excusing the abruptness nor the lack of originality, merely pointing out a pattern.
Eluvei said:Haha yeah, especially on the mission to steal the Odin. Every line was delivered perfectly. You know, maybe it's better to kill him off like they did, because he'd never be the focus of any other games again anyway. Let's just hope they don't turn him into a stupid infested terran or something like that.
Ugh, that would be the worst. If a character dies, they need to stay dead.
Eluvei said:I totally agree. The dialogue was pretty ridiculous, I even started to think it was intentional at some point. If Thycus didn't exist I'd mute the game and skip all scenes. About Kerrigan's visuals and voice, I agree as well. She should be a rotten being, half-terran half-vermin after 4 years as a zerg, vomiting green stuff and being far crazier than she is.
No kidding. Especially considering that every other infested person is totally bugged out. Her appearance reminds me of Angelina Jolie's character in the CGBeowulf movie that came out a few years ago (high heels and everything).
Eluvei said:Well, you know man, we can't ask too much of the people that gave female protoss tits. Female protoss have Titties, Rhombaad. They're mammals.
Haha, hey I'm not opposed to female characters having large breasts, but you're right, in the context of the game it makes no sense whatsoever.
Eluvei said:Also, Nova looks EXACTLY like non-infested Kerrigan on SC2. Look at their avatars on Bnet and compare them yourself, it's like they swapped color palletes and called it a day. It's obvious they're not concerned with originality or making something memorable for this universe.
I noticed that, as well. Maybe they ran out of time at the very last minute or something. Pretty lazy, if you ask me.
Thankfully, Nova only pops up for a second, but who knows how long she'll be in future games. At least Kerrigan looked different in the flashback cutscene.
Speaking of which, the cutscenes were spectacular. I'm glad they didn't overwhelm us with the pre-rendered ones, either. Four were perfectly fine and the in game cutscenes were really well done, too.
