+Joseph Collins Yeah, I felt horrible about blowing up them with the precursor information that you get. But then again, all racists/sexists are nice once they recognize you as equal to them...
Well, all the writing that wasn't just outright cribbed from SC2, at any rate. Which, if anything, makes that decision baffling; there were clearly talented writers working on this thing, so why wasn't *all* the dialogue original? The Daks and K'Tang, as two examples, are actually really brilliant and a worthy addition to Star Control. So how'd the Accolade team come to need so much borrowed text from 2? Time crunch? Directive from higher up? We may never know.
@@SpaceDrake Because the company that made it had no creative control over it. They were informed by the big wigs what they had to do and they had no choice, and the big wigs wanted to copy SC2
When the Daks ask to give your appellation I always responded with "Appellation? You mean my name?" because then they'd refer to you as "appellation-you-mean-my-name" until corrected. First time I did that was when I started to suspect that maybe they weren't all that bright. Still the best new race in SC3 though.
The DakTakLakPak have the one decent theme song in the entire game. I get the feeling that if they had actually put it to good instrumentation and made it audible, it would actually be pretty good.
I have always wanted to make a non profit show about Star Control. I attempted once years ago with a bit of success. It was 95% computer generated. I used the old AMIGA machines (lightwave) to generate the 3D models... Maybe one day I'll give a whack at it again wiht my much updated technology...
Oh yeah. This was the game that killed an otherwise incredible franchise after Star Control 2. A perfect lesson showing why change for the sake of change isn't smart game design.
I never got to the point where they wanted to use our organic matter to build more of themselves. I just got annoyed when they assumed that they were the best race...
Chmmr of star control 2: made sense Chmmr of Star control 3: pathetic awful peice of new age looking crap Daktaklakpak: awful,simply awful Hk-47: beats the crap out of daktaklakpak, does what he does, but better. "Plea: Master, please may i blast the puny meat-sack apart, oh how I have wanted to do it so" Revan: "No HK-47, not now." HK-47: "Be thankful this time, meatsack"
The line "Eradicate the minimally sentient organism before it breeds" is true poetry.
These things really seem super-nice once they recognize you as being sentient and cognitive.

@@astrangeone humans are the same way towards animals, AI, etc.
Assertion: despite all the complaints this game got, the writing is pretty solid.

Daktaklakpak speach pattern was my favorite, also. I liked how the Orz and the Mycon talked, too. But always thought Daktaklakpak were the coolest.

Still the best new race in SC3 though.
I still like when the Doog get mad about these guys. "Saying One: You stoopid! Saying Two: Us smart! Saying Three: So derefore YOU STOOPID!"
Daktaklakpak are the best thing that came out of garbage fire called Star Control III.
Dang, I absolutely loved Star Control 3 :(
Ktang are kinda fun too but I agree
This video is positively ancient, like the daktaklakpak themselves.
I wonder how it'd go if they met the mrrnnhrrmm?
I would probably have opened fire as soon as it said DakTakLakPak WAS the shortened form.
I would not make a good captain.

This is where Halo got their plot.
reminds me of the Daleks.
Even Daleks think these guys are shitheads.
Also, The Changeling episode of original Star Trek
Daleks and Nomad are also significant components of Funnybot from South Park.
YEP! I AM FUNNYBOT.

Aren't we all minimally sentient when we look at ourselves...
how deep.
Speak for yourself.
2:45 not even the daktaklakpak are immune to voice cracks
@thegameulost But there IS a way to fight Melnorme within the main game
HK-47 talks exactly the same way.
for many people who played sc2, sc 3 does not exist. it is considered another game.
Heh. I can see why KOTOR referenced this.
Oh really? When?
When did that happen!
@@sprinklesthecat4823 probably just his assumptions about HK47/HK50
Conclusion: If human females would speak 100% like Daktaklakpak, human males would understand.
Process: Taking cover. Computing...
Omg these guys are amazing, who even are they though?
They are robots, are technically a mix of robot and organic. They also have inflated egos, and try to back it up with logic.
It has four eyes, four arms, flys around. How can he walk?
He doesn't have legs in it. His ship has the drill infront.
I agree with them
Why do they sound so much like the Daleks?
Daktaklakpak *is* short form!
IG-88, the totally-evil robot talks like a less-intelligent version of the Daktaklakpak.
MR handy's sociopathic cousin.

@discoder
HK-47 is awesome.
@1acount it's only a running gag ; ) chill. somebody ate the troll bait, twice.
They select "nerd voice" for the onboard translator. God.
@1acount Processing: Mron. Error... Can-not compute. Conclusion: Failure in human grammar calibration.

I had almost forgotten how awful the music was in this game.
You should try talking to them *without* the translator. It's a much shorter conversation and always ends in violence...
use real player to download this in flv directly from this page.
Slylandro was much more funnier
You just want to look at the glowy bits.
Chmmr of star control 2: made sense
Chmmr of Star control 3: pathetic awful peice of new age looking crap
Daktaklakpak: awful,simply awful
Hk-47: beats the crap out of daktaklakpak, does what he does, but better.

Mac version had better music by a country mile.
The mac version had different music?! :o
@@ZarlaSheenaza the music is the same but it sounded better and more fleshed out. I played both version.
GOD that conversation was WAY TOO BORING.
what kind of crap race is that?
blabla daktaklakpak blablablablablabla daktaklakpak !!! BAH
