pourquoi personne ne parle jamais de la difficulté des missions à évolution de Kerrigan ? c'était un vrai virage niveau gameplay non

La campagne solo fait le boulot niveau narration, on sent qu'ils voulaient rendre Kerrigan attachante. Par contre l'équilibrage multi a mis du temps à convaincre les puristes.
Quest_Lamy
La campagne tournait fluide chez moi, le multi ramait un peu plus.

you played it smooth back then? curious if that held up later compared to something like Warcraft III on the same rig

La campagne mérite qu'on s'y attarde, elle donne enfin du poids à Kerrigan et ça justifie une bonne partie de sa place au classement.

Chez moi c'était l'inverse, ça ramait un peu, mais rien d'insurmontable comparé à CS:GO qui demandait moins.

On me sort encore ce jeu comme référence absolue alors que la moitié du contenu tourne autour d'une seule campagne recyclée. Le classement ne reflète rien de la réalité du jeu aujourd'hui.
CoopRider14
Le recyclage, on le reproche moins à Warcraft III, non, alors que la campagne s'étire aussi pas mal.

Bonne campagne, multi qui a eu du mal à se faire une place, encore aujourd'hui je vois les avis se contredire sur ce point précis.
ComboWarden
Les avis se contredisent, justement, et pourtant le classement reste figé. Ça ne colle pas.
