The story of Starcraft 2 is such a joke, it seems, compared to Starcraft & SC Brood war. It was too easy to transform Kerrigan in a human form again. I’ll buy Heart of the Swarm, but things aren’t the same anymore. Meh.

^Starcraft was never about the story, it was and is about the multiplayer…

I have always played the series for the story and never for the multiplayer. I will be getting Heart of the swarm with this in mind.

^And that is great! But the game does cater primarily to those who want to play multiplayer, but if you also happen to enjoy the single player story, then that is just an added bonus :)
