Star Control 3 - Ending

[@Zernium]

Nope, there's nothing malevolent about beings who regularly kill everyone in the galaxy.

[@phocjame]

Eh, I just inserted my own monologue at the end: "With the conclusion of my campaign, I resigned from service and flew as fast as I could toward the Pkunk homeworld - where I spent the rest of my happy life with the only race in the entire universe that doesn't make me want to tear my fucking eyeballs out."

[@Syksyisin]

I never played the game to the end, and thanks to your videos and especially this one, I'm happy to know that I didn't lose anything.

[@fahbs]

EVERYONE GET READY TO DEFEAT THE ANCIENT EVIL ONES WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP! 3...2...1...CARE BEAR STARE!!!

[@GD-tp9hm]

fahbs lol

[@Commander_Applejack]

Statler: Just when you think this game is terrible, something wonderful happens. Waldorf: What? Statler: It ends. Both: Do-ho-ho-ho-hoh!

[@witchhatter]

@StarControl69 Apparently it went like this. The makers of SC2 said they wouldn't make another game for the same budget, which left them nowhere enough to cover the whole development process.(oy, they worked for free to get it right? that's dedication to quality.) So they found some people who WOULD work with the same budget, and they got what they paid for.

[@streetdog75]

I wonder how much budget they would have saved by not having the terrible 'real life' aliens and sticking to the fun animations from SC2? Money for a writer, maybe?

[@Elfodelosbosques]

It seems we make them to leave the Milky Way, so the guys at the Magellanic Clouds or Andromeda will have to worry about the Eternal Ones. Great way to solve problems.

[@Zernium]

I love how after the credits, the game just boots up again on the (lame) title screen like you'll want to play it again immediately.

[@Kromgar]

After the Eternal Wars left, I could only think of the following: "This was a triumph! I'm making a note here: Huge success!..."

[@JelloHamster]

Yeah I was disappointed with the ending too, but since it was a 'sequel' to SC2, I had to love it LoL

[@astrangeone]

I played this first, and then I'm working on SC2. I liked the storyline from the Eternal Ones and the Crux red herring. (I thought the Crux would be the ones to fight at the end.) I still remember grabbing sentience from the Spathi, and them saying "if it would hurt?".

[@raakone]

@Eikinkloster I know, like they were trying to appeal to, I don't know...a certain sub-breed of Trekkie who expects everything to deep-delve into deep philosophical concepts, even if things such as plot and enjoyment have to be sacrificed. Mention coexistence, but don't get into deep dissertation about it. Also, they chose the worst theme for the ending. And having "elevator" music during most of the game...is this game a demonstration of that "10,000 monkeys at 10,000 typewriters" thing?

[@Veke99]

I FELT NO SATISFACTION

[@a.dykeman1980]

You could've at least explained what was going on, and how the ending actually worked. Then again, I might be the only one (being a dumb kid at the time) who was willing to figure that out rather than submit to the massive amounts of flaw and say "F&@k this, Imma go play UQM again." I would totally do that now, though. Probably.

[@superpenguin4500]

wha-wha-wha-what?

[@EMike07]

I think the biggest "fuck you" is the "soundtrack". Ugh. :/

[@gavinbalter9464]

6:20 the screen should say Want to play this crap of wasted potential agin!

[@marioghernandez4960]

Gavin Balter Aye.

[@Nerd_Baller]

Please tell me they are going to redo another version of Star Control to follow the 2nd one....this one was absolutely the biggest fuck up, probably of all time!

[@OvaltinePatrol]

Tell us what you really think.

[@TurningJappanesse]

Uh yes it is.

[@Nerd_Baller]

@PUNKOW Liberal hysterics...just because someone kills someone doesn't mean they're bad, it just means we don't fully 'understand' them

[@djlionize]

Oh man, good thing I never got to the ending. After what I consider the coolest adventure game ever made, SC2, this is simply an unacceptable piece of wasted code. They really got everything wrong. Hopefully they still get to make one more SC game and hopefully it comes out on the console platforms as well.

[@ashipthattriestobotheryou4759]

leoruoska they do but not on this console :the star control origin

[@andyeccentric]

you finally got your wish in free stars

[@FranciscoRubianes]

and this, gentlemen, is how you turn an epic history and a glorious game into garbage... please address all your gratitude letters to those in the video...

[@Tittor]

they should make a starcontrol 3 and forget this one.

[@MenloMarseilles]

Aliveroll'd.

[@LanceVader]

I think the real insulting part of this is the whole "we found ourselves and worked together" diatribe. SC-not-3 had some decent ideas. But the best parts of it were the parts they stole, lock, stock, and barrel, from SC2.

[@IgnisInCaelum]

Wow. So, a long time ago I played part of Star Control 3. I thought it was cool and interesting. I had no idea how wrong I was until I watched an LP of The Ur-Quan Masters and then watched these videos. Conclusion: this game is *not* cool or interesting, not in a galaxy in which SC2 exists :|

[@ebag4540]

Well thenhow incomplete

[@Eikinkloster]

I think they had good intentions, but not the talent to go with it. The end result is what someone like myself would manage to get by. A derivative product. That's why I would stick to hire a good writer, instead of trying to come up with a story myself :-)

[@zinki120]

so, what just happened? we drop some bombs into wormhole and then THE END.

[@ashipthattriestobotheryou4759]

"(drinking sounds)...... Ahh"

[@TekranoXx]

so.....you can feed the eternal ones the collectors and the universe doesnt end yay! i never played kit but now i wish i was around during its time :(

[@Poodleinacan]

@MarquisdeBarrabas It's so good, I would buy it for 100$, off Ebay!

[@matticusprime]

Ugh the utterly bland voiceover is so awful. And the so-called music? waugh woo woo-woo waaaauuuuuugh. It's difficult to imagine just how hard so many people had to fail in order to make this game what it was...

[@Eikinkloster]

This retconned sequel reeks of mediocrity. "The message is one of coexistence". Oh gawd. Oh, the hate.

[@benjaminnelson6312]

After watching all of these, I gotta say. While star control two had some pretty bad misogyny, a racial stereotype species, an entire race of gay androids that was genocided, and such horrible representation that every human that appears in game is a white dude. It was still better than this. (yes, that is why the yehat and shofixti are gone.)

[@UnrealPerson]

The Androsynth are clones, not androids, though that does not diminish your point.
