I don't know how to feel about the video, visually impressive while ignoring everything that makes StarCraft one of the best game series ever made.
Balance.
if you want to show the zerg winning that's fine but in the end you'll have to show the viewer why humanity survived this long, why in this case humanity was ever a threat, according to this video the Zerg are all powerful and humanity is vapor, their weapons useless.
it's funny how success results in little more than a whack load of laziness and indulgence.
I hate these kinds of video's because they do the series a disservice.
this SC vid was like the movie Battleship.... as epic as it is brutally boring.
p.s. I wish terrain weapons sounded like they did in the original StarCraft, Blizzard has really ruined almost everything to do with sound in the new SC.... fracking up... err I mean "fixing" things that shouldn't have been fixed.... in the end this video makes me wonder why? (I know artistic fiat but really will anyone ever get around to shedding their ego and spend a little time convincing the viewer or is that too inconvenient?)
Splitting hairs, the source of every prolonged discussion on the web.
