    The correct answer, by the way, is Protoss because EN TARO ADUN and MY LIFE FOR AIUR.

    But honestly Zerg was also kind of fun just for the Hydralisk/Mutalisk/Guardian spam (I have no idea if you can still do that in SC2 but I hope so)

    Wait, I thought you reviewed that too. You didn't beat one main campaign to get to the other campaigns to even play the other races? How do you review a game you hardly played? Do you partially play all games you review?

    I love protoss because they are all fancy. I'll play Zerg if I want to literally zerg rush people. But protoss is my favorite

    ALL FOR THE EMPIRE!
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Seen edczxcvbnm play both main games a bunch. Never really was my thing. So...uh....I don't know? I feel bad. I figured there would be at least a few people who would get into this poll. I always felt like I was one of five people who didn't get into the series.

    Dude if you're only playing through the story campaign of StarCraft you're missing out on the best part. Start up a custom AI game and play as the other races. Starcraft is about mechanics (if you want an RTS with a good story, play Warcraft) (I mean Starcraft has a good story but really... it's about the mechanics)

    The story is easily the best part of the game. The multiplayer is hideously broken and horribly designed. Locked to the highest speed (even on custom games) and designed and focused around APM above all else.

    "It's a Strategy game! Where all that matters is how fast you can hit buttons!"

    0/10, would not play again.

    Don't understand where all this focus on APM came from. So long as you can micromanage your dragoons so they don't run all over the map you're fine. I never had a problem, anyway.

    Protoss is my favourite race but for whatever reason I was better at playing Zerg back in the Brood War days.
