Insanely good songs. Everyone praises Terran songs, but these are outrageously good. These are some of the best alien villain-esque songs ive ever heard. Why they didnt come even close to this in SC2, or even try, is beyond me.
@@YelenaSgt44 I'm pretty sure this is the most popular sc2 zerg track. It's a different vibe to the sc1 zerg but it's good in its own right th-cam.com/video/eaBnHTZXrOo/w-d-xo.html
Went from playing N64 and PlayStation games as a kid, to playing Starcraft on the computer and it just blew my mind away, game was brand new at the time and already felt timeless, like a masterpiece. It was super addictive and I wouldn't mind experiencing that again if it was possible to relive a life.
I wonder what was the reason to lighten the Zergs in Sc2. Even the soundtrack feels so menacing and uneasy to be around. Combining with terrifying sounds of Mutas and Hydras it was a total nightmare.
Yeah, that's definitely a big change. I think one obvious reason is that they wanted to go in the direction of Kerrigan becoming good again. But still, they could have done that without making the zerg less nightmarish.
Well if you want your game to be more appealing to all types and ages, having the Zerg scare the shit out of them probably isn't the best way to grow your market lol
@@MrCantStopTheRobot probably a good thing Starcraft 3 will never happen. if it did, the Zerg would be turned into a happy pack of friendly animals that love each other
@@apolloeosphoros4345 Not just each other, but everyone. They'd literally turn into mutated dogs; excited at the sight of any Terran, Protoss, Zerg or otherwise, rolling over for some treats and rubs.
I miss when Kerrigan was evil. Cause everyone else was just as bad as her in their own way. I miss the days before the terrible writing of SC2 and Amon
I've come to the conclusion that Kerrigan should have died at the end of Wings of Liberty. Heart of the Swarm could have been dealing with the aftermath of her death with the broodmothers fighting for domination of the swarm and also wreaking havoc among the galaxy rather than Kerrigan humanising them and going on a vengeance quest. Legacy of the Void would deal with the Protoss trying to survive in the "Doomed" timeline where Kerrigan died.
Yeah, the only good faction in SC1 was the protoss. Raynor was kinda neutral, he had to stick with Fenix and others because he had nowhere else to go at that moment. The Confederacy and the Dominion were equally evil, the UED was a dictatorship, and the Zerg..well the Zerg were the ultimate evil in the 1st game. Overmind had almost destroyed the protoss, and Kerrigan outplayed everyone in the end. She took advantage of everone's weaknesses, not only betraying but also mocking them.
@@L3monsta Actually, the visions that Zeratul gave to Raynor are in a future that Raynor killed Kerrigan. It is just Hots and Lotv that are poorly written. Lotv should have come first. Also fhe protoss in Lotv are too much humanized and they are kinda of "marvel", specially Selendis

the zerg were my favorite race because they were very destructive and annoying and apart from that you had the mutalisks they were the hell I called them the masters of destruction and I liked how the zergling asian tore the terrans down a base in a matter of seconds much better if they were in a huge group
I love playing as the Zerg because there’s no need to micro manage the health of your units and buildings, plus they’re cheap so you can make an army quick

People speak as if the Protoss and Raynor's raiders will survive the Hybrids that Duran made... In The 3rd Episode of SC II with Kerrigan gone, i guess Amon will wipe out the entire universe of Starcraft, if brood war ended with The Queen of Blades betraying and ruling everything, to dying in Wings, this could turn out to be worse... And actually a little better. If you're a big fan of grimdark. Kerrigan becoming a space goddess, or Amon and Duran wiping out the Universe. I wonder which was, or could've been better... Nah, my ending would be Kerry raping Raynor and she'd lay infested terrans from the eggs she lays. And she eats Ouros and Duran to beat the Toss, and any armies dat get in her way. Best hen tie anime ending, ever. She deserves to be punished, but we must admit that most of the fandom and creators are simps. Everyone would kill a xeno, but someone would really get second thoughts when killing a xeno chick.

Aww shoot, dont tell me they f-ed up SC2 also. These modern writers all have something that makes them write like trash... what is it? What has warpped their mind to this stupid padded room bull s***.
I've noticed this everywhere I look.. I think that the 90's were just a time in which everything that had been standing as the institution of the era was being challenged for the first time.. the uh .. very forced psuedo-moral narrative of wholesome values was being assaulted outright in all of the art and music of the time. People were not afraid to push the envelope and offend or test the comfort zones of others.. also doing so, was not constantly at the risk and expense of your entire livelihood, if infact you were in charge of artistic conceptual art, music, and writing. Blizzard was such an amazing company of artists and creators back then and I still remember watching a friend play StarCraft: Brood War for the first time and being absolutely captivated by the creatures and this very music and ambiance. This was true also for Blizzards other titles. They were dreamlike and shocking to the point they all were unbelievably immersive in every way. They have had a permanent and lasting effect on all of those, myself included, who were there to see so much creative genius unfurl in a time nothing remotely like it has ever been seen. Nothing of it's kind seen since as well unfortunately. I'll try to cap this off.. In my opinion.. it seems like the 'Art' of the times reflects quite accurately, how abysmally low quality the collective narrative has become in contemporary America and abroad. The artist has become reluctant to challenge the narrative.. no longer creating art.. but instead propaganda.
