I know that this has already been suggested but I’d LOVE to see titanfall 2 looking at cutscenes and some gameplay. Plus you don’t need the first game to understand it, besides for the fact that Blisk is an amazing warrior for the enemy side. If you wanted to do a separate video on the trailer here is a link to the trailer that doesn’t have copyrighted music, I know the issues with that so you can’t look at all of the trailers!

I would suggest the Nova covert ops campaign cutscenes. It's not as large as the main 3 campaigns but imo it's done very well and the story is quite good. Alternatively, the original StarCraft 1 and StarCraft brood war cutscenes are AMAZING, albeit much fewer and far between, and of course quite old and dated. They are still fantastic though. Alternatively alternatively, there's a StarCraft content creator who makes his own fanmade cutscenes. They are *extremely good*, possibly better than even the best blizzard sc1 and sc2 cutscenes. The channel is called 낙마 Nakma, and I would recommend his most popular 3 cutscenes. Starcraft: Judgement Cinematic (2023) Starcraft: Tassadar (2023) episode I: Eye of the storm Starcraft: Tassadar (2024) The death of the overmind.

Agreed, That scene really hits Hard, when you know the backstory - and probably doesn’t resonate as much if you dont. A dark templar (which Zeratul is) who Long time ago left/was driven from their homeworld Aiur due to conflict with the Templar, sacrifices his life on that very planet, to save a templar, because he knows it is the only Way to save the protoss as a united species (and the rest of the Universe) - and he does it with that Line “my Life for Aiur “ which is a classic iconic protoss soundbite (maybe the most iconic in the game), that is almost imprinted into the minds of StarCraft gamers. Goosebumps every freakin time!

I’ve told others this so I might as well say it here: If the story and cutscenes interest you, pick up the game, play on casual/normal, whatever, and enjoy the ride. A lot of the storytelling involves you setting up the next cutscene or dialogue after a victory. You are very much a part of what happens before, during, and after battles. I’ve played since the original Starcraft and its Brood War expansion. You don’t need to be an rts master to enjoy it. SC II and its difficulty settings make that more flexible. People new to real time strategy games can play a more approachable difficulty, and rts veterans can face a harsher challenge aiming to check their skills constantly. Either works. Enjoy it in the way that is best for you. It’s not all tryhard competitive over 9000 apm nonsense. Starcraft is cool, and I love it. Happy to see others check it out.

30:10 The really important thing here is that Rohana is a Preserver. Preservers are (were) an extremely sacred and important position - they are living libraries, using the Khala to store the knowledge, memories, and personalities of every Protoss that ever lived (assuming said Protoss had the Khala, since not all of them do - Zeratul was part of a group that ritually severed it, hence why he was able to free Artanis). Convincing Rohala is literally the equivalent of convincing their entire civilization.

Fun fact, the reason that most protoss ships and buildings don’t have roofs is due to the fact that they are photosynthetic, they don’t exactly have mouths. The protoss are my favorite race in StarCraft auir is their homeworld and the zerg overtook it in the first StarCraft. They called zeratool (the razeal guy) a trator because he killed the dark templar monarch because she was being mind controlled by the zerg. The nerve cords are how they mainly communicate and the dark templar (like zeratool) cut theirs from a young age but because they are sacred the high templar (the base or normal guys you see) see them as fallen or dark, again in the first StarCraft there was a bit of a rivalry and war around it

"Hell it's about time" holds so much weight for this series. Tychus says it at the end of the Wings of Liberty trailer and that specific shot was also used as the announcement trailer for the game back in 2007. At that time it's been almost 10 years since the release of the original Starcraft. The hype was insane. The line was a bookend not just for the campaign but for Starcraft 2 as a whole. Unfortunately Blizzard has stopped supporting SC2 (i.e. producing major updates and new content) since 2020. Most SC2 veterans are pinning their hopes on an upcoming RTS from a new studio comprised of staff who originally worked on SC2.

Again, just like with HotS, there are many contextual scenes in-between the cinematics that need watching to grasp what is going on. You are essentially watching the resolution without the conflict for each of the cinematics. The "DLC part" is actually the Epilogue of StarCraft released at the same time with LotV. It is a 3 missions story that meant to capped off the saga, with each mission letting you play as one of the three races, thus giving each of them equal screen time. The last scene with Kerrigan returning is meant to be ambiguous. It could be the usual magic MacGuffin where she survived somehow, it could be that it was all in Raynor's head, that he died and Kerrigan took him to the afterlife, etc... up to you. The credits have a slideshow of "where are they now" for all the characters, with the only clue for Raynor being "James Raynor was last seen in Joey Ray's bar where his badge was recovered. He was never heard from again."

All were a way of showing authority or position to the other so that handske was Artanis inviting Raynor to join him as an equal. 31:30 'Today we must come together', this is a message that humanity must hear & embrace because our divisions are destroying both our planet & our species.

There is a 4th set of Starcraft missions and cutscenes with the Nova Covert Ops missions For a bit of context for this expansion, It was broken into 3 parts and released a couple months apart, the part with Zeratul until the 3:55 mark, than the main game until 35:27 cutscene with the last bit being the end which most of the community felt was rushed. The ending cutscene with Kerrigan most people believe that since she's Xel'naga and has control over the "Purity of Form and Purity of Essence" which allow the Xel'Naga to change form and Dna in beings she transformed and took Jim away for their endless honeymoon, or as a joke it was all a dream when Jim passed out at the bar in the first game and Kerrigan came to pick him up after the day Most of the contexts for the cutscenes in this game are mostly in gameplay and the hub through conversations and a couple of cutscenes I didn't see in this video about the other legions and them uniting with the Daelaam

And yes, the last part is left ambiguous - some believe it was in his head, some don't. But the ending slides (not shown in this video) tell us that previously uninhabitable worlds became green, and jim disappeared, with only his Marshal's badge found in the bar. Also, you watched not only the LOTV cutscenes, but also epilogue cutscenes, that's why you felt as if it was "tacked on".

Both visuals and gameplay mechanics are stunning and even better than most of the games in present day😊 Please download and play the whole campaign from SC2, so that you could really enjoy and appreciate all the gameplay contents, characters, dialogues/conversations, events/incidents and contexts/stories of all relevant parties involved.

My favorite cinematic has to be the one on Korhal where Artanis is talking to Raynor. Artanis speaks with the authority he has but with such tenderness, which just feels like a nice hug when mixed with that telepathic reverb effect they put on. And of course the detail of Raynor turning Artanis's hand to show Zeratul's blade, in that moment realizing a close mutual friend was yet another casualty in this war. Now that I think about it... the cinematic starts with the local losses with the bodies and graves everywhere, then they start talking about the more general destruction and death on other worlds, they decide on their next course of action and move to make it happen, and then that fucking handshake, without a word Raynor gets on the same page as Artanis, and now it's personal. "Did you know this warrior?" "No, but I knew THAT one."

In it, there's a summary of Protoss history and lore, especially the importance of Aiur, the Kala, and the unity of Protoss in the darkness of losing Aiur to the Zerg. I would recommend it because it prepares you well for the very for the initial in-game scenes. Also, very emotional.

The detail at the end of the story was essentially god Kerrigan taking Jim with her to heaven/void/wherever. No one ever sees Jim again and I think that's super poetic that Jim and Kerrigan leave their lives behind to live in eternity with each other. Also there's another story called Nova Ops which is some more story taking place after.

at 23:05 the reaction of Raynor at the view of that psy blade is because it's zeratul's psyblade meaning and telling Raynor the death of zeratul in a very subtle way. 36:40 little context in the LOTV (legacy of the void) campain there is 3 part a post story with the first two cutscene i believe then trailer with main story and "ending" with the rebuilding after main quest done and a Post ending where we find out it's not really the end and all we did was delay the problem. also little detail if you really pay attention the whole talk is about a cycle ending and at 43:02 is the exact same plan as the start of WOL (wings of liberty) where Jim is in that bar also called joey's bar drinking thinking of the old days and then tychus joins him to give him purpose to fight, except here you don't see him drinking and he leaves his sheriff medal behind which shows the end of the fight and so the end of the cycle.

Yes, Amon is the "force of nature" villain. Yeah, the best part about Raynor is that he's just some hick, backwater sheriff who ended up in the right place at the right time to be important. I like your comment on the redemption. As Tolkien said "Every story is, in some way, a reflection of the Great Story." The fun part is that there's actually another epilogue that kind of sums up the larger story, but it's all in text an no voice over. So that it begins and ends with the spoken line "Hell, it's about time." The thing I'd have to disagree with is that you think it should have given the vision for Jim and Kerrigan more time. That would on one hand be nice, but on the other it would undercut the "we only have this moment" message.

33:42 these braids are sort of magical nerves that connect their entire minds together, but they have also been the cause of conflict within the protoss species. Some Protoss rejected these nerfs and became Dark Templars (like Zeratul, the self-sacrificing one with the green blade) and left their home planet to live elsewhere. But now that their magical bond has been corrupted, they must all separate themselves from it, which indirectly forces them to unite again as one nation.

There is a bit of text in the original final cutscene, explaining the aftermath and what happened to Raynor. Also some bits you might have missed due to missing context: Before Zeratul (a Dark Templar) finally charges at corrupted Artanis to sever his nerve cords, he says: "For Aiur", homeworld of the protoss. But the Dark Templar where exiled to another world (Shakuras) ages ago, which they call their home. At this point you know, Zeratul will sacrifice himself for all the good of all Protoss. The final Protoss scene implies that both groups have reunited again. Rohana, the Protoss advisor girl, was the oldest living Protoss when awakened by Tassadar. She was kind of a librarian/living archive. Her connection to the Khala was therefore much stronger. Hence her being able to tap into Amons thoughts but also struggling the most to let go of millenia of thopughts and memories.

About Sarah, the Xel'naga (massive creatures in the end and that were all read in that big room that Sarah and Artanis visited). Story-spoiler so, skip if you actually plan on playing and want to learn things InGame instead! . . . . . So it is revealed that the Xel'naga are these massive creatures that "seed" worlds and universes with life. Some worlds prosper while other worlds end up destroying themselves. Like the "why haven't we encountered alien life yet?" theory that not all civilisations live past a certain point because they end up going nuclear or for some other reason end up destroying their own planet and species. Maybe a comet hit them and wiped them out. But at some point the Xel'naga find some prominent species and imbue them with "Essence of Purity" and Essence of Form". After that the species are no longer able to fully develop as they want but they are instead on a path set by the Xel'naga. If things go as planned, those two species will eventually merge together and become new Xel'naga, and this is how those creatures reproduce. The Great Cycle must continue, as the guy says at the end. New worlds must be seeded with life, new species "blessed" with "Essence of Life" and "Essence of Form" and new Xel'naga will form. Amon saw this as bad. For the Xel'naga to basically adops and forge species according to their will instead of letting life develop on its own. So Amon decided to try to find a way to break this cycle the Xel'naga were doing, and along the way he became more and more drastic and wanted to reshape the world as he saw fit and as he saw as the best world. Basically becoming what he accused the other Xel'naga of. The others banished him into the Void where he learned to harness the power. He used the power to take over the Zerg (he created an Overmind that controlled all Zerg and the Overmind was aware of how it was used for evil so grabbing and converting Kerrigan into Queen of Blades in StarCraft1 was its way to try to maybe break free of its programming by Amon. So in a way maybe Amon's goals and views were altruistic at the beginning, but it went downhill from there..

Edit: 50:03 i always took it as Jim "dying" and being taken with kerrigan to where ever she resides as Xel'Naga

A few notes: 1) Like lots of other people have been saying, there's a lot of kinda.... sub-cutscenes, mission briefs/debriefs, etc. that make it VERY worth playing the game to get the lore. They're typically less cinematic, but it may still be worth playing for fun and interest if you want more lore and characterization and such. I would say that it's worth reacting to/doing a let's play of from a story telling and cinematography standpoint, but I'm a fan of the games and wildly biased. XD 2) Part of the reason why, beyond the cinematic storytelling reasons, the protoss tend to have a lot of upward angle is to constantly remind us that they're 2-2.5m tall proud warrior badass types as a culture. They are, in fact, kinda big and have a LOT of presence as just a species trait. 3) Agreed that having Kerrigan rip that hybrid apart was important to maintain her characterization (for now ignoring how scattered her characterization can get, ugh), and also, once you're in the mission briefing segment itself, she mentions that she's been fighting big nasty creatures like that for DAYS. She got tossed around the way she did because she's exhausted and was kinda distracted snarking with Artanis. 4) The spear of Adun, that big ship the protoss are on in the campaign, is extremely cool. Also, 74 km long. It's AWESOME! 5) How can she do that? Weird cosmic thingamajig powers go brrrrr. It's ambiguous if she actually manifested, showed up, and them she and Jim zoomed off to wherever or if it's implying that she raptured him or various other theories, but there's a post-cinematic slideshow that says that Jim was "never seen again," so yeah 6) I... can tell you that that last bit sure wasn't in the game! No idea what it was. Looks like a TF2 animation? Very weird bit to toss into the compilation...

Heya Kai! I really really do hope, either on your own time, or on the channel, you review all starcraft lore with the actual videos recapping the first game and expanding on the 2nd game's cinematics. The context is crucial, not necessary, but, it does add a lot. A fair warning, each "episode" of the 2nd game is significantly longer with each cutscene, but I promise if you loved starcraft so far, you won't regret it. :3 Even if you don't do it, that's fine, i'm just a huge fan of starcraft.

Context for 'post credit' cutscenes. The game was released as a triology - one for each race. I think they ended the main protoss campaign at Amon's banishment because they want the 'final' battle against amon to be 'experienced' as all three races. Otherwise story would've ended with the protoss as the world saviour. The 'Epiologue' had three missions and you play as one race each mission Protoss (to kill duran in void), Terran (to protect kerrigan while she transforms, then Zerg with Xel'naga kerrigan to kill Amon. Could they have extended the epilogue? Maybe - but might've felt redundant as we've just gone through the main story missions fighting Amon - only for extra content ...to fight amon. They did come out with DLC called nova covert ops with a continuation of the story and which was still interesting and fun to play. TLDR; Epilogue was added so other races are playable against Amon (and get involved in the plot more)

And there are so many more little scenes and additional dialogue during missions that really pull you in to the story. edit. I agree with your comments regarding the scene in the void at the end. It was rushed, even in-game. But yeah, xal'naga can appear to people in whatever form they want. Kerrigan (xal'naga) is projecting an image from the void to Jim.

I know I'm a month late but had to throw this in about why we follow Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul and Artanis specifically and it's all due to SC1's method of storytelling. These were characters we met and literally worked along side with throughout SC1 and Brood War. Your role in the game and universe is to command forces with these characters either fighting along with you on missions or advising you via pre-mission dialogue. They talk to you the player directly and make you a part of their world. In SC1 Episode 1: you led the forces side by side with Raynor and Kerrigan. You brought Arcturus Mengsk to power. When Mengsk ordered the retreat from Tarsonis not only did he betray Kerrigan and Raynor but you as well. The "commander" that Kerrigan calls for in the New Gettysburg cutscene back in WoL is you. In Episode 2: you lead the Zerg forces that protected Kerrigan as she mutated into a Terran Zerg hybrid. You led the invasion of Aiur and brought the Overmind to carry out Amon's will. Episode 3: you led the Protoss force that was tasked with finding Tassadar. You were the one that sided with him to search for Zeratul. You led the battle to destroy the Overmind and halting Amon's plans commanding both the Protoss and Raynor's forces (Granted this was retconned to be Artanis so you pretty much were Artanis before he was actually introduced in the Brood War expansion)

As one might guess, the Terrans/Protoss/Zerg are basically the Imperium/Eldar/Tyranids (though diverged more after the first game) Amon (and I imagine the other Xelnaga as they created the Zerg/Protoss) can basically control Protoss via their connection with the Khala. The dark templar already severed that connection (which is one reason they're got exiled in the first place) so when it happened they were basically the only ones that could still function. All of the campaigns let you choose between different paths (though you could go back and do all of them in the same playthrough) with a certain number required for the main story (at least in WoL, never tried speedrunning the others). The room where Artanis was holding off the zerg by the crystal. Basically to dent the numbers of zerg (and because Shakuras, the planet of the dark templar was lost anyway), they detonated it after holding as long as possible to lure as many zerg as possible there. The (zerg/protoss) hybrid are overpowered to put it mildly. Game's worth booting up and isn't even especially long relatively speaking. The Purifiers (the mech guy's faction) and the Taldarim (from WoL and that the edgy looking guy's from)'s storylines didn't even show up. En Taro Adun -> En Taro Tassadar -> En Taro Artanis, from the past to the future. They killed the body Amon was going to use, not him. There is an epilogue campaign in LotV (the part after the talk of rebuilding) that deals with him a bit more permanently. It does feel a bit rushed in both story and mission design. Raynor finishes on the line that Tychus began WoL with. While I want more with this IP (even though the story wrapped up), I'm not sure I trust current Blizzard with it.

The ending that you are referring to was an epilogue as series of 3 final missions. Legacy of the Void was the Protoss arc, and then you go into the epilogue (which came attached to the end of Legacy of the Void) which has you play one mission as Protoss (Fighting your way into the void) one as Terran (Protecting Kerrigan as she powers up after receiving the power of the Xel'Naga), and then finally one as Zerg (Where you finally defeat Amon, and get to use Kerrigan in her new super powered form). I've always felt the ending cinematic of Amon's defeat was really lackluster, but I think it's in part due to the fact that the mission you play has you struggling against Amon and weakening him to a point that he can finally be defeated. The ending hits so hard when Jim finally leaves with Sarah, and in case you missed it, his final words, "Hell, it's about time," is the same phrase that Tychus uses in the very first cinematic back at the beginning of Wings of Liberty to kick off the trilogy.

Amon is old god that plant RCE-exploit into the protoss and Zerd Wi-fi connection. When we killed Hivemind in SC1 we drop Zerg's wi-fi connection. but Protoss keep their one. This why during intial cutscenes them got hacked via their connection.

The interesting thing with the Protoss is that they don't build their structures on the battlefield, they teleport them in. Mind you, the teleportation takes time, and the node for them needs to be protected, but they do just pop in fully formed like you saw with that crystal pylon in the one that they are saying that they will take back their world. Also, the Zerg and Protoss are creations of the same species, the Xel'naga. The Zerg represented purity of form, and the Protoss purity of essence. The creature that Kerrigan and Artanis fought together were hybrids of the two, bringing those qualities into one body that could serve the dark one, Amon. So, there is a bit of religion to it, but more than that... it is quite literally how they are built. The things they found that were dead were the Xel'naga that they were searching for to aid them in defeating Amon. Yes, there is a lot of fascinating lore to StarCraft, which was... honestly born as a simplified, more accessible version of Warhammer 40k. I would genuinely recommend playing the games (recorded?) because there is so much of the story that happens as you are moving around the maps and playing through the levels. The story isn't even remotely just what you see in the cutscenes between the levels. They may be older games, but... the story isn't born from the graphics. Even the original game has a lot to offer, and it is a story that I remember fondly even to this day, decades later. Sadly, though, at the end of the day... their real-time strategy division is basically dead.

Having finished the video now.. A lot of the lore for the series is told in the manual for Starcraft 1, the mission briefing and cutscenes in Starcraft 1, Brood War, and the three campaigns of Starcraft 2. Some additional content is added in the novels, but not required knowledge. The epilogue cutscenes feel rushed because you don't have the hour or two of gameplay after Kerrigan bids farewell to Jim before getting your finale of blasting Amon and getting the three years later final scene. Finally, Kerrigan becomes a xel'naga at the end. Xel'naga are basically gods. Nigh-immortal beings living through multiple lifespans of the universe with no ability to have children of their own. The "inifnite cycle" they keep refering to is the life and death of the universe, from big bang to heat death, and the reset into a new big bang. The xel'naga have seen countless universes; they are old. In this current cycle of the universe the xel'naga decided to try something new and create two special species looking to create the building blocks needed to make a new xel'naga. One building block is a species focused on the purity of form - a body unchanging and unwavering to develop a perfect psychic mind unhibited with worry of biology. The other a species with the purity of essence with a simple mind focused on the task of constantly changing their biology to find the perfect physical form unimpeded by the worries of the mind. These are the protoss and the zerg. The idea was to join these two together once they achieved each the purity they were working towards. Terrans just so happen to arrive in the koprulu sector of the milky way galaxy where it just so happens the xel'naga were experimenting with the purity of form and the purity of essence. Amon failed to create new xel'naga by hybridization of protoss and zerg.. they were missing some key component of tenacity and change. Turns out humans/terrans are the missing key, as we have the potential for psychic power of the purity of form and the potential to master our own biology with the purity of essence. Kerrigan becomes the one to achieve this perfected form. Amon... in a nutshell is the emo kid of the xel'naga who decided he was too good for any of this and wanted to ruin it all for everyone.

Just to give a little bit of story context, SC2 follows up on the story from SC1 and especially it's brood wars expansion. There are a lot of call backs in SC2 to SC1 story. While you do not need to know SC1 story to enjoy it, there are little bits and pieces here and there linking them. SC2 itself was made like a trilogy, with each expansion being it's own chapter of the story. As far as this last one - Legacy of the void, it has a short three mission prologue with Zerathul, then the main story with Artanis and short three mission Epilogue. I will say that Epilogue felt a bit rushed after the rest of story so you are not wrong there with your feelings about the ending. SC2 multiplayer is free, however the story needs to be purchased. If you are interested in it and want more, I would say getting is worth the money. Lowest difficulty is very accessible even for people who do not play RTS games, so you can definitely play through the game and experience all the story bits. Also if you are further interested, you can watch videos of SC1 story. While SC1 was remastered few years ago, it very much kept its 90 aesthetic and gameplay so it might not be for everyone to play it - hence why maybe just watching the story bits might be preferred. SC1 also did not have much of cut-scenes, so most story came from dialogues in between gameplay. And yeah, we all wish Blizzard was not just sitting on their IP... but this story was unfortunately made at different times.

Okay, now that you've seen some of this, check out the Reclamation video posted on the main Starcraft channel for a taste of what you missed by watching this very shortened version of the events of the game. It's a full-on 5 minute animated cinematic that goes between the guy flying through on a spaceship and the invasion of Aiur where they did the final stand.

Man, the amount of emotion this brings back is actually insane. I am still in love with this game and have been playing the series since it came out. Such an amazing campaign to replay. Back when RTS was king shit on the throne of power... My love how far ya'll have fallen. I know it's starting to make a smidge of a resurgence now but it will be nothing like it was 10 years ago.

Starcraft 2 might be 14 years old, but it's still the gold standard for RTS. If you want to play a Starcraft game, Starcraft 2 still feels great.

Dunno if anyone else has pointed it out but actually the ending scene takes place where the first AND second games both started aside from all the other references there.

So that final set of missions, where all the factions enter the Void together was meant to be the full culmination of the games' stories converging for the player. In each of the games, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void, the player gets to make unchangeable decisions, both with the various story paths and technology/unit upgrade paths. In the final set of missions, all of those choices (assuming you have the save data for all the games on the same computer) show through as you take control of each faction's army one final time in each of the 3 missions that precede each of those cutscenes after you enter the Void. So in Legacy of the Void, if you chose to upgrade your Zealot units to Centurions, then those are the units that will be available to you in the first mission. For Wings of Liberty, if you decided to upgrade your Bunker buildings with Auto-Turret tech, that's the tech that will be attached to your army's Bunkers when you build them in the second mission. And in Heart of the Swarm, if you decided to give all your Zerglings the wing mutation, then it'll be those type of Zerglings that you'll be spawning en masse in the third and final mission. Watching just the cutscenes, you don't get that portion of the storytelling, just like you mentioned in your Mini-Review section. So that's likely why that final set of cutscenes felt so "rushed" or "crammed in." For the player, they lead into the final chapter of our decades-long space opera, then give us nice little lore breathers in between some of the most difficult missions that any of the games have *ever* thrown our way. Fighting a literal uphill battle in order to reach the unknown Voice as Artanis and the united Protoss? Defending an essentially helpless Kerrigan against waves of enemies as Jim and the Terran military as she absorbs the xel'naga's essence? Then protecting her again as Zagara and the Swarm and taking the fight to Amon's corrupted armies while she goes toe-to-toe with the being trying to destroy your entire dimension? Words just aren't enough to aptly describe the emotions you feel as the player that has fought their way through Starcraft, Brood Wars, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void... It truly is something that has to be experienced for yourself.
