I saw their trailer and honestly? It's not even necessarily about the gameplay anymore the way they set these trailers up annoys the fuck out of me. Who thought it was a good idea to make it so that trailers all follow the same theme of flashy jump cuts then shitty pop music all over everything? They keep doing it in genres that it simply doesn't belong.
Remember Game of Thrones? Remember when that had an awesome sound track and you could actually be hyped for what comes next? Now it's some crappy 'epic' pop music or whatever the fuck genre the normies listen to tons now BOOM BOOM BOOMing in the background and they've barely got the sound balance edited right because it's so obnoxious. It also seems like the music all sounds the same to me as well like they probably bought a library of the shit and are just throwing whatever at it instead of finding something that fits.
I know I'm almost nitpicking but when even their marketing material looks like shit these details really start getting jarring for me because it's so obnoxious.
There is a reason this very long time thousands of hours played played Diablo 2 and 3 online at launch Diablo player does not have D4.
Blizzard has lost their mojo, and current diversity hire mandates ensure they won't get it back.
Blizzard has devastated every ip they have currently. Wow went such gutter trash they had to literally reintroduce wow classic. StarCraft is MIA. Overwatch 2 managed to get even worse somehow after the original year 1 release was an amazing change up to shooters then got pozzed. So now they’re stuck with a pay to win card game and whales who sink into every one of they pay 2 win bs. They are literally a mobile gaming company anymore…
I really fucking hope they leave Starcraft alone, Starcraft 2 even though I didn't like it as much as Stacraft 1 did have a proper satisfying ending to the story and even to this day people are playing it pro-league and regularly having matches with each other.
Imagine if they introduce Stacraft 3 and what kind of horrific game it would be. I honestly don't believe many devs at big studios even know how to code an RTS properly. They would probably try and make it into some kind of shitty moba trash or dumb down the mechanics severely. I have noticed that there are certain genres out there that are just dead and I do believe that's down to a lack of dev skills rather than people being unable to sell it.
SC 3.
Blizzard: Jim Raynor returns as the bad guy. Kerrigan is hyped up as a trans alien. And a new all black Protoss faction is introduced.
Gamers: Yes but what about the gameplay?
Blizzard: Gameplay??
Also the endless mention of the cash shop in their feature videos.
