Spoiler: What's interesting is (click to show/hide)

What could happen after the Komato finish their genocide campaign against the Tasen. According to Tor, the Komato leadership is pretty much helpless against the ignorance of the masses, and the army generally follows the people. Especially at the end when Tor orders the fleet to spare Origin, standing up to the people and the military(despite, or perhaps helped by killing himself afterwards), possibly sowing seeds of discontent between the people, the Komato leaders, and the Komato military. I'd bet my hot drink cans that the war-happy Komato is heading for a civil war that'll make the extermination of the Tasen look like a schoolyard shoving match.

I do love how deep the story can go if you're willing to look at it.

Considering the Komato and how violent and militaristic they are as a species, I'd be suprised if that didn't happen.

[Jackrabbit]

When a species sports usually end with everyone involved being killed, it's just ripe to be torn to shreds from within. They probably just love fighting so much they'll kill each other out of boredom.

Probably. I don't really know any species like that. I mean, we tried it but it never really caught on.

[Pnx]

Hmm I just realized that I created this thread, time to do some title changing!

EDIT: Anyway, adding to the topic...

Yeah, you can only take so much slaughter and bloodshed before it gets to you, but I've always thought that with an outside enemy humanity would be able to unite itself against it, and put aside it's differences... eventually. But imagine: if we all stopped killing each other, started killing someone else, built a culture around killing this other species, then finally kill it... what would happen next? My money is on that we'd go back to killing each other, and the same goes for the Komato.
Human beings individually or in small groups are alright, but humanity is a many headed hellhound that can't stop bickering with itself, and dedicates 90% of its energy to dealing with the other heads than doing anything else.

Bad dialogue?! Wait till you get the Scrambler.

Which you get from Vatielika's boyfriend Yukabacera. By killing him. Getting to him is the hard part(I think it requires the Velocithor, but I can't remember). Killing him is the really hard part, since he's jacked up on methamphetamines and somehow managed to get ahold of a CFIS. The only enemy in the game that has one, I think. I died once fighting him, and almost died a second time before killing him. Oh, but it's completely worth it.

Worth it? I seem to recall feeling rather ripped off... but then... I forget just what the reward was... >_<

[Jackrabbit]

It didn't look that great, really.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It just scrambled the map textures

Also, I clearly cannot tell if something has bad dialogue or not.

[Sowelu]

No, the Scrambler

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

actually scrambles the dialogue.  It randomly tweaks some words, and some whole lines are replaced with other more specific ridiculous nonsense.  Conversations between Iji and Dan tend to be hilarious.  It's GREAT for spicing up another play-through...that is, if you're trying to get some awesome hacking or bloodthirsty award, and you already know the *entire* story you would see on that playthrough.

You're thinking of

the Null Driver.

[Jackrabbit]

Oh, yeah.

Scrambler sounds awesome.

[Jreengus]

Scrambler is so great, so hard to get though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The just randomly scrambled stuff is ok but it's the specifically altered stuff that is brilliant.

Dialogue at the end if Dan dies:
Tor: "Oh, and I'm sorry about your friend."
Iji: "What?"
Tor: "One of my Assassins, Asha, reported that he killed your friend during the attempt to capture you."
Iji: "Wh, What are you talking about? Dan is... is..."
Tor: "..."
Iji: "He's dead?"
Tor: "Hmm. I was the same way once. What I just said is a lie. Your friend is fine."
Iji: "But..."

What is said with the Scrambler:
Tor: "Oh, and I'm sorry about your socks."
Iji: "My socks?"
Tor: "One of my Assassins, Asha, reported that he stole your socks during the attempt to capture you."
Iji: "What?"
Tor: "Hm, I was the same way once, What I just said is a lie. Your socks are still placed on your feet, they've just been turned invisible."
Iji: "Socks...? Gone?"

*Afterwards, Tor commits suicide*
Iji: "General? Hello?"
Iji: "Well darn, I was about to share a packet of crisps with him."

Play through the game once, no scrambler.
Play through the game a second time and record the scrambled dialogue.
Post it here. The entire transcript once you get the scrambler.

Does the scrambler carry over into new games?


EDIT: also, is it just me or does the sounds of the "minefield run-and-seek" and "hyper turret" names seem to be going into the realm of Crazy Awesome?

Some of the scrambled dialogue is just random words that don't quite but almost fit into context, so you can't get a perfect translation of it.

Yes, it counts as an unlocked feature.

The Hyper-Turret game is a reference to kicking turrets into enemies. Minefield run-and-seek seems to be a twisted reference to Minesweeper. And Rocket-Jumping is an actual tactic used to get to certain places you aren't normally supposed to.

[Pnx]

No rocket ponies for you. My favorite is what it does to Asha, all his dialogue gets changed to ridiculous sound effects, primarily PEW PEW. and TOOT TOOT.

for example:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Iji enters the rooftop
Asha teleports in and says :TOOT TOOT
IJI: What? Who are you?
ASHA: PEW PEW
IJI: I don't know what you're talking about
etc...

Iji defeats asha on the rooftop
Asha teleports around the place randomly for a while, then as a teleportation flash says
ASHA: WAKA WAKA.
Iji: Duke's fruit!

a little after the phantom hammer strikes
DAN: AAAAAAAAHHHHH
unknown: PEW PEW
IJI: DAN!

How does one unlock this scrambler??? I don't think it was in 1.3...
