Star Control 3 - The Syreen

[mrfalafl]

Seriously, she looks like she got hit by an ugly train

[mrfalafl]

Jesus Christ... I'm so glad I never played SC3

[macgeek2004]

OMG, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!?!

Wow. They took EVERY awesome and sexy about the Syreen and...made it...well...let's put it this way: I bet no one was making any jokes about the word "Penetrator" just now! Lol

[TheWomacker]

someone seems to have fallen down the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

[UltimateDarkSim]

Ah! WTF?! Syreen looks like she got hit by bus then had reconstructive surgery! The hell with this blue bitch they must bring back Hot ones from SC II.

[Chidar]

Y U SO UGLY!?

[RRRX18]

*pukes*

[finlanderxx]

Seems the captain was pretty intoxicated beyond drunk in SC2.

[Teph87]

im not sleeping with that!

[Terrakinetic]

Maybe she's a hundred years old or something. Even Syreen age, right? But more likely she's just an ugly fuck, like everyone says.

[ariloulaleelay]

what the burp of nature!

[npatrcevic]

I din't f*ck that in SC2, I swear!

[Varastaja]

I think problem is that voice actor sounds like a guy/transvbstite and that syreen should have hari, albeit it is harder to animate.

[ONNIHOLTTA]

ewwww...

i feel nauseous.

[graph180]

Ugh. Looks like the Syreen got hit with the intergalactic ugly stick in SC3.

[Kizor]

Ugly Stick

Planetology advancement, tech level 22

Projectiles deal 4-6 damage to charisma and are guided by a level +1 targeting computer

Ignores armor

Vulnerable to shields and Photoshop

Replaced by Ugly Tree (planetology level 40)

[lilmookieesquire]

Everything was better at SC2.

[zjc92]

Because it would've been SO HARD to just paint a hot girl blue.

Other than that, SC3 really was pretty decent. I don't know what people are on about.

[papalolita]

SC3 = non-canon

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

You lot are a bunch of whining maggots.

Star Control 3 was a great game.

[Kiatrasi]

Syreen in StarCon2 were hot. This one ...uh, I don't even know what to say anymore that haven't been said.

Here's hoping that original SC2 talents, Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford, make a REAL Star Control 3 one day.

[thebonefish]

The only thing worse than the puppets was the midi...

[pocketjedi]

: O

it's Jocelyn Wildenstein

[yTubeBlowsBigBalls]

Observe Exhibit #9132 in the case why SC3 doesn't hold a candle to SC2. 

[VanceHill]

Just think. Your character nailed one of those.

[Strideo1]

GUH! Ugly Syreens! O_O

[DeftCrowMk3]

The creators of SC3 mutilated everything that was good in SC2.

Ruining the whole existence of precursers, turning pkunks into velociraptors,shitty color schemes for Spathi and Arilou, "We seek to serve" for the proud Kzer-Za, and THIS?

[ancalites]

she looks like a stroke victim

[GCReptile]

They look like the Na'vi from Avatar.

[silverleaf81]

O.M.F.G WTF happened to the normal syreen? ITS A FRIKEN MONSTER!...sc2 syreens WAY better!!!!

[thegameulost]

OH NO!  Pete Burns is suffocating!

[spectrophotography]

oh no... this is the first time I've seen the Syreen for 3.... wtf?

[azarazar007]

Syreen should've remained the same in SC3, both appearance wise and also personality wise. They were utterly hot in SC2 but now look at Syreen females now.... yuck!

I miss my darling Talana!....

[survival12345]

thats not a syreen... thats the offspring of a syreen that was raped by an umgah...

[MagusJoseph]

Uh huh... She might just be Talana's (extremely) ugly sister.

[ColonelCosmic]

Yuck. She reminds me of the Quato guy from the movie Total Recall. :P

[thegameulost]

What the fuck? That looks like a blue-skinned Pete Burns!

[Juff0Wup]

Weren't the Syreen in SC2 hot alien sluts ? That looks like inter-galactical transvestite with bad eye surgery

[ricardogriva]

@Juff0Wup i`m agree with you.

what the hell was that?

[Eikinkloster]

I played a bit of SC 3 after playing some SC 2 and I agree SC 3 is like, Highlander 2, something to be retconned into oblivion.

That said, I did like the Syreen. I find them pretty, and I like that they don't look simply gorjeous humans. They look alien.

I wonder what is it up on her head though. Scales? A hat? A weird hair comb with galons of mousse?

[astrangeone]

Yeah, I played SC3 first, and then I'm playing through SC2 now.

I didn't realise the Syreen were supposed to be exotic gorgeous women. (Like the Twilek's in SW.) Although, the ship name "the penetrator" just made me snicker like I was 12.

[Zellig]

It's even funnier that the ship looks like a giant orange ridged dildo.

[IvanGroznyIV]

AGGGHH! THAT was what I was having heavily-implied-yet-technicall­y-unseen fornication with in SCII!? Or has there just been a societal convulsion since SCII and now they just assign the Syreens who've been beaten with an ugly stick to com screen duty?

I'm genuinely wondering where the developers failed to grasp the concept that Syreens are supposed to be an entire race of impossibly gorgeous women. I'm guessing everyone else who played SCII figured it out.

[ancientatbirth666]

I'm Devin Reiche, Paul Reiche III's son, and I will go on record saying that Star Control 3 gargles my fucking ass. Everything about it, every last detail is just misery-inducing. And while I definitely won't put words into Paul's mouth, let's just say that him and I have yet to disagree about anything SC-related.

[ZeusOwnsYou]

id fuck the shit out of that blue alien

[zero269]

whats with everyone saying that SC3 sucked? The story aspect, all questions answered, galaxy explained in an airtight manner, none of these mean a thing? :P Gjees, you guys dont know a good ending to a series if it came up and whacked you in the head with a paddle.

[Alexoneil]

Hate to say it but all ends being tied is a little far from the final outcome, I preferred a lot of things being in the dark, it made the game a lot more, interesting and left a lot to the imagination. If you show someone everything (or try and fail) all you do is demolish a good thing completely.

[aarrcchhoonntt]

AAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAA

I don't know what drugs the lead graphic designer was using, but hell, this is THE UGLY.

[Felidaise]

I think they might have been a feminist. Lol.

[Alexoneil]

Or they could have found this... Attractive? *shudders*

[Melleina]

/sigh...if only it was like SC2 but with better graphics and a far better story line :(

[k24601]

lol poor ugly Blue woman...

[dinosaurjerk]

cool

[Probeshorts]

Hmm. I loved the original and #2. Sadly, SC3 = FAIL.

[arialbamboo]

Some things cannot be unseen.

[ladystorykeeper]

The Syreen was better at SC2

[Alexyvil]

I agree, I take SC3 out of the SC series, It's better off with just SC1 and SC2 =\

[MegaVideoGameMusic]

@ladystorykeeper everything is better in star control 2

[Shavarnarak]

While she's not at all attractive I suppose this shows that at least the Syreen aren't biased towards their less attractive brethren.

You got Talana on one hand, and you got what appears to be someone from her mothers or grandmothers generation here.

:D :D :D

[RevNoahWhateley]

I've always wanted a Cher-impersonating ventriloquist's dummy. Never thought about painting it blue, though. That would just be a little too weird.

[Kizor]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[hoyle1911]

So ugly! The chick in SC2 was hot.

[Veke99]

does he say "erotic" on 00:12? nope

[Veke99]

00:13 is what I mean

[Joccy]

She says "erratic".

[ferhordlingrads]

*hurls* My eyes!!!  My eyes!!!

[DoomRater]

I think the team was afraid of getting M ratings with the practically NAKED Syreen. But yeah, this is in the complete opposite direction. Where are my green ladi- I mean blue ladies?!

[ReverendSyn]

There's a blue lady right up there on the screen.

And we only see her from the shoulders up. There's absolutely NO statement saying they AREN'T scantilly clad lower down.

[DoomRater]

Take one look at that face. Also EPIC FAIL

[Werebat]

OH GOD MY EYES!!! You can just picture this ghoulish thing feasting on corpseflesh off-screen. How could the main character have slept with one of these undead things in SCII?

[kagato3]

It's even worse the Dos ending implied that he married and had childern with her.

[irons414]

lol

[jesusarnold]

hahahah, my god, i've never played the 3rd game but god it looks so poor!how could everything have gotten so much worse in a sequel

[Alexyvil]

Aaahhh !!! Why did they turn them into ugly people! They could have left them as they we're in SCII :( God I hate SCIII...

[ReverendSyn]

And simply thinking this one individual might not have been as fortunate aesthetically as others failed to cross your mind?

That's like saying Brian Peppers or Brad Pitt are typical of all human males. When it ddecidely isnt so.

[Kizor]

Oh, come on. The Syreen are every single green-skinned space babe that says "teach me more of this Earth thing you call love" ever thought up by frustrated 1950s pulp scifi writers, rolled into one, dressed in a Princess Leia bikini and smoking a cigarette. They pilot giant phalluses called Penetrators and their special ability is enticing enemy crew out of the airlocks.

Breaking stereotypes isn't an advantage when your entire point is taking those stereotypes and running with them.

[Veke99]

ugly

[F3nyx]

Oh what the HELL.

[TMMQuicksilver]

Holy Crap it's Joan Rivers! I didn't know she was in this game! [/jk]

But seriously, how do you turn a smokin' hottie (SC2) into.. well.... THIS? She looks like she's been hitting the pipe for decades!

*sigh*

Let's hope that if they ever make another Star Control game, they get the blue space babes right this time.
