I think they took too few risks. I wasn't expecting them to change the game dramatically but they stuck to the exact same formula. I was hoping they would add a few evolutionary improvements.
Raven Gold, I did play the original. The writing was also poor. It's hard to stay sympathetic with a love interest whose motives for betraying everyone and murdering billions of people are never explained. Yeah, Raynor was in luuuuuuurrrrrvvvvvvvvvv once but in real life people get over it, especially when the chick he was boning turned into a psychotic insect with absolutely no redeaming qualities and a fetish for psychotic genocide.
