The Full StarCraft Retrospective: A Fantastic Universe (Original + Brood War)

[@IDontLikeTheDuckface]

Starcraft was the game, which single-handely made me learn english language. Sitting with a paper dictionary and translating all those briefings. Fun times.

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

That's amazing! It's truly remarkable what people will do to enjoy the things they are intrigued by! Learning a whole language! Now that's dedication! Thanks for sharing, and hope all is well!

[@starcraft2f2p77]

me too.

[@nonya1366]

That makes me curious- How did you feel about the characters from that angle of perception?

[@TheProgKeyboardist]

There has been a surge of great StarCraft related videos lately. I’m not sure why, but I like it!

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

It’s about time we got some love for the OG of RTS nowadays! Hope all is well

[@lokkiirl4793]

this lady Kerrigan seems really nice and beautiful i hope nothing bad happens to her

[@Mistersheeaun]

My brother is quite a bit older than me. When we were younger, I couldn't really keep up with him in Starcraft. He'd have 100 zerglings and I'd be trying to tech up to battlecruiser. We got back into it last year playing the co-op campaign mod together. What a nostalgia trip!

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m an only child, and hearing my friend tell me he also played with his brothers growing up makes me happy! Hope all is well with both of you : )

“Ah boys, about that evac?” 😢

[@Ivan_Ooze]

This game, along with half life and fallout 1 & 2 was my childhood

[@razorback9999able]

StarCraft is still my favorite game, despite all the recent years of modern decadence. I've started playing the game since 2009 just for fun. I even learned game design, photoshop sprite editing and even programming through modding this game despite engine limitations that I've intensively studied it for years. As a startup indie game developer who has yet to make a video game, I'm taking my talents to someday create an RTS game inspired by StarCraft.

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

It’s great to hear about your passion and dedication! Please let us know about the future game! Looking forward to it : )!!

[@J_Morgan_Blockwell]

That executrix reference was wonderfully niche, bravo

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

I appreciate you : )!

[@danielbruce9750]

Man, this video brings back memories. I got the original Starcraft from burning a copy of the CD at school 😂 I think I might of been ten or eleven, my best friend had it so we took it to school and our computer lab teacher made us copies. Played the crap out of it, both the campaign and BattleNet. Then my dad came around one night and went “that actually looks kind of fun”. Fast forward a few weeks and he’s playing it more than I was. Got a second copy and played online with my dad. So many great memories with him thanks to Starcraft

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

I truly appreciate you writing this, thank you for sharing : )

[@GavinHarrison-sl4qm]

I think... starcraft 1 is making a comeback 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@bisceg181]

The marines weapon in cutscenes look MG42 like - interesting

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

Maybe with the trenches and theme, blizzard wanted to evoke that?

[@Realunmaker]

I learned to lower the music volume of games as the first thing I do (even before going into tutorial) during this era of gaming, but whenever a game forces me into the game without letting me into the settings before it's still the same bro first things to do when starting a new game: >settings/options >sounds >music: 3/10 >sfx: 5/10 >cutscences: 10/10 >in game diagog: 10/10

[@andrewboyko8304]

Many of the old studios have either died or been hollowed out by capital. We can fondly remember the times we had but with precious few exceptions all the new stuff is either coming from indie studios or teams with a stated commitment to quality. I don’t even consider modern acti-blizzard to be the same studio that made these games.

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

Was loaning money easier back then? Why does capital now mean the conglomeration of video games when back in the 80s/90s or Wall Street greed, that wasn’t the case. I know of monopolies by publishers and consoles, but it seemed ( and I could be wrong) that developers were numerous. I mean we have a parody studio get John Goodman for God’s sake making a parody of Myst in the late the 90s

Blacksheepwall

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

A classic!

[@RoyleVegeta]

There is no cow level, operation cwal, show me the money, black sheep wall, me spending so much time trying to learn how to spell these cheats as a dyslexic kid lol Burt into my brain to this day, best quote 2 trunk drivers hitting the zergling "I love you sarge" I was 10 when I got my hands on this in 99, I loved the game, see Jimmy meting kergin for the 1st time "you pig" Blizzard made top quality games, but "look how they massacred boy" 😢 (godfather) SC2 with all them skins and not so micro transactions 35 pounds for a skin set and you can only equip 4 units unless Ur in a 1v1, the story is so good.

[@errtuownsyou]

Thank you for this. Starcraft classic had the better tale, Broodwar probably had the better game.

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

Well said! I agree completely!

[@ChrisConfrey]

I NEED YOUR RETROSPECTIVE OF SC2! NOWWWWW! 😭

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

I’m editing it right now : ) should be out this week!

[@michaelservetus914]

I like the videos, especially on Stalker, but the audio balancing is consistently way off. It's so low that I can't hear it on my phone at max volume or even in my car over Bluetooth unless it's cranked to max and then notifications blow my ear drums. This is also some unevenness when you cut between sections.

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

Howdy! Thank you so much, yes the first music interlude I tried to edit down since on the original it was way too loud. I listened to the whole thing on my iPhone and laptop and could hear it both on medium volume; yes there are definitely audio balancing issues, and these are two older videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! As a one person and dog production, I appreciate your patience as I navigate the areas of production. Hope all is well

[@jackbing499]

Got it for N64 in 2000. Still play it to the day. Only game i play. Always wished i could get a good gaming PC and get online with it. Maybe one day

[@Dog.Dad.Studios]

It's an amazing game for sure! One of the all-time classics, and you have a great reason to keep playing! Hope you get that pc someday, even older laptops will run the original well

[@jhvghjgjkhlihli]

you could run starcraft on a patato. i had 333mhz with 4mb of vram. any laptop today would run this game.

[@Archmage90]

Modern game : 75% сhance to be forgotten in the year Old games : 20+ years old, still getting reviews (i know its kinda survivor bias, but anyway)

[@brennanrodriguez122]

It definitely is survivor bias to claim "the game is remembered because it's good, and it's good cause it's old" But what is very true is that it survived and it would be wise for developers to glean what we can from the games that do make it into this status.
