I play RTS for the single player campaigns because esports aren't my thing. It's pretty easy for me to notice the flaws in Blizzard storytelling when I put my mind to it. The problem is that Blizzard fans who invest in the story are somehow able to ignore the flaws that I notice. Indeed, they put the story on a pedestal that I don't think it deserves (see the playlist I linked earlier for a detailed analysis of the flawed writing). Naturally, this means that whenever I try to discuss these flaws with the fans and provide my constructive criticism it always degenerates into flame wars. I'm so sick of that happening.Normally, I'd be able to put this stuff behind me by finding a different game to focus on. The problem is that there isn't any other game with the same premise as Starcraft but without the storytelling I dislike. Dawn of War II's tyranid campaign is horribly boring compared to the zerg. I liked the idea Blizzard had to introduce brain bugs and give the zerg personality when normally alien swarms lack those... at least until they killed off the bugs and replaced their leader with psychotic bug girl succubus.It's absolutely maddening for me.</blockquote>
