well, he didn't get too much character development, but the interaction between him and his technical wife was priceless.ĭr. The book, 'I, Mengsk', showed that Arcturus has no regard for the artifacts of extinct alien races, unlike his son. If it didn't, then somebody in a Battlecruiser was standing by to Yammer the artifact and leave Jimmy and Co. If the artifact worked, then Tychus was in position to kill Sarah and maybe Jimmy. By getting to Tychus Findley first, he made sure that a person with questionable morals was on his side, steering Jimmy towards the artifacts and bringing it (and Jimmy) to Char. By outlawing possession of alien artifacts, he was able to make sure that his son turned to criminals to get the Xel Naga artifact. The Dark Templar novels established that he has a close eye on his son, so he KNEW about the Artifact scheme as soon as his son started making plans. It happened when he was recruiting Duke, it happened when Kerrigan objected to the use of psi-emitters, and it happened when Jimmy told him to go screw himself.īut look at what he was doing in the meantime.

He's a mastermind with a silver tongue, but every time people started seeing through him or talking back in the original StarCraft, he'd go to pieces. Sure, people complain about him breaking down in front of the press, not turning them around, but that's the way he's always been. The only thing he could do was point a gun around and talk tough, stall for time.Īrcturus was amazing.

If he refused, Arcturus would kill him anyway. If he waxed Jimmy and/or Sarah, he would be killed by the other Marines, if not by Arcturus. left for Char.Īt the end, because of his resentment and his ultimate desire to go his own way, his hatred of being a puppet, he couldn't make a decision. Jimmy was calling all the shots, and Tychus often chose to go along with it, but if it weren't for the fact that Arcturus was holding a gun to his head, he would have buggered out before Jimmy and Co. Which is why the events of WoL were hell for him. My interpretation of Tychus was that he was the kind of guy who preferred to be his own man, and hated other people making decisions for him. but after a lot of thought, I agree with their decision. That's not to mention Game Informer's bigger pay-day with Halo: Reach as Game of the Month. Most of what's in SC2 has been done before Blizzard just perfected it and mashed it all together. The reason I think Halo: Reach deserves Game of the Month over SC2 is because I believe Reach stands out more from its competition. If it were any other month SC2 definitely would have won. Still, I am very glad that Starcraft II was given its own special place. So, I've explained why I think they're both the best and why they're equal, so this probably leaves you wondering "Why does he think Halo: Reach should be Game of the Month and not tied with Starcraft?" Well, first of all, I don't like ties. Through out the entire game, you have options. They breath strategy back into the gaming industry (which is especially important for Real Time Strategy games).

It was full of cliche characters (who were often unrelatable), broke established canon in several areas, and also had its fair share of cheezy moments. I also believe that Halo: Reach should have been dropped down to 9/10 as well. SC2 is not perfect, but it's the closest thing we have (and I still love it). A 9/10 would have been a more appropriate rating. I mean, have you really payed attention to the campaign story? Really? It's cheezy, predictable, and all-around amateur kinda like something out of a fan fiction. BUT, there's always room for improvement. *even louder gasp*ĭon't get me wrong, SC2 is a kick-ass game and by far the best RTS I've ever played (and will continue to pay for years to come). I honestly don't think Starcraft II deserved a 10/10.

Can you imagine the problems Bungie would have if they allowed players free reign over map creation? Especially considering how many more immature players FPS games tend to have. Well yah, AJ, that's cuz galaxy editor is designed to MAKE maps, not edit them.
