You expected more? like what exactly?
They've been fairly open with the development process. What I mean by that is, they've made it clear they are going to release this game in 3 campaigns. They released a FULL multiplayer experience, which is what this game primarily is trying to cater towards as an e-sport. Like many PC games of THIS generation, the single player elements are usually an afterthought or not the primary focus (Mostly an FPS problem tbh) Being used to that kind of afterthought bullshit, I find this campaign to be very fun, diverse, and well told.
I wouldn't say the plot is "poorer" than the original, it's just not new to us anymore, we know who the zerg are, we know who the terrans are, we know who the protoss are, as far as play time, it really depends on the player. One thing that I will say is that while SC1's missions all seemed to eventually disintegrate in to "build massive army, win" this one actually seems to change up mission types a lot more, defend a mining laser while it goes through a door, survive 20 minutes against a rush, collect a certain number of minerals in a volatile lava environment, hijack trains, spectre/ghost solo mission, capture and hold points while uploading data to towers (lolsup Odin)
Some are the typical build/push/conquer type but they seem rare and usually there to showcase the strengths of a unit you have available.
It doesn't really matter what I say, You've made up your mind to wait to even pick the game up out of some principle or another and some people just like to downplay or bash the experience they're missing out on even though they have no 1st hand knowledge. The fact that youre nitpicking a positive review and focusing on the unsaid negatives (aka putting words in people's mouths) really is all I need to know.
Just chill, it's a game, it's a really good game. If you cant/dont have/want the ability/desire to play it then... dont. No need to make up imaginary reasons to hate on it though.
Personally, I have friends who play it, and Co-op is a riot.
Also I like watching sc2 replays
