When I was a kid, you usually had to wait till all the other shopping was done before you could play your new game. That meant you either had to just wait or read through the booklet in the car. This game came with an inch thick book full of art.

@@inwit594 That apparently is a myth. Samwise Didier (Starcraft I and II lead concept artist) said in a interview years ago that Starcraft was actually based off differtent sci-fi media, like Starship Troopers, Dune and Western movies, such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and tbh I can totally see some of it in Starcraft - especially the Zerg being the Bugs in Starship Troopers and the Protoss being both the Jedi and the Sith. I don't doubt 40k had some level of influence there, though. I mean, even though I said that, it's unfathomable how alike the Zerg and the Tyranids are.

i need some kind of citation for that "jim raynor was retconned to be the main character of sc1" because that sounds bizzare, the player character had like, a name and rank in the confederacy before he and jim were excommunicated, there are multiple, explicit references to the player character during sc1 in every campaign. In humans, you're a magistrate, in the zerg you're a rogue cerebrate that the overmind is using to help sarah become a god, in the protoss campaign you're a nameless fleet commander. you explicitly experience the game through a third person outside of tassadar, kerrigan and raynor because shit happens to those characters in the narrative.

I would assume that the Terrans had more experience in surviving in outer space and had many exiled scientists with them who were forbidden to experiment on earth, they most likely made their technical revolution in the Koprulu sector. To me, canonical Earthlings look like the Confederation from the Starship Troopers movies, they have more standard infantry without exoskeletons and with additional military equipment, they have their own military tactics, but they do not surpass Terrans in technology a hundred times, rather in supply, quality and leadership, and only slightly surpass them technologically.

@CallsignYukiMizuki Жыл бұрын
No, the Protoss (Purity of Form) and the Zerg (Purity of Essence) were meant to merge at Ulnar and become the next generation of Xel'naga. Kerrigan, on top of originally being infested by the Overmind, was rebirthed in the first spawning pool in Zerus and got Purity of Essence. Ouros, the last surviving Xel'naga besides Amon gave Kerrigan his Purity of Form. With both purities, Kerrigan ascended to Xel'naga. Unless I missed out on one of the later stories and comics, Kerrigan should be the sole Xel'naga by ~2511, which means the Zerg are still the Zerg and Humans are still Humans

I wish SC2 didn't mess up so much the settings approach and narrative SC1 had put up. Blizzard shouldn't have made it devolve into the whole narrative they set up in SC2 and the player should have remained as the leading commander still not Raynor. They just cheapen the franchise and didn't let the ending allow potential for a next game. The approach and writing they had as a foundation should have remained. It just downgraded to a power fantasy.

Unlikely, Raynor actually mentions the player on the first game as 'Magistrate' and in the queen of blades novel he left Raynor's raiders, Matt would of been likely one of the crewmates among the Hyperion, the only ambiguous theory would Artanis being the executor of the first and Selendis being the one in Broodwar which is left unconfirmed. Forgot to mention Matt actually was on Char but was late which confirrms he's a separate from the player.
