Oh heck...<br>Even my cactus could make up a better story. Sorry, but that's the truth...<br>About the "It's all a dream"-stuff: That's just like it was in Monkey2. They did the same in some other game whichs name i cant remember right now, but although the whole thing is as old as stories are they solved it pretty clever.<br>However, if there'll be a second part they should pay someone to do the story. Paid people do better jobs - or, wait. Did they pay him??

i believe the game you are referring to is called 'Paul and the Land of Women'

I happened to like the game, but I would still like to know which aliens you were referring to Jaybot?

[Jay_Mattis]

[Jaybot]

okay, if you are living a life in a normal 1997-2001 Earth, and keep seeing strange 'foreign' writings that are not of this planet, then its alien;  and all of a sudden at the end of the game you end up being a part of that super advanced 'human' race that just happened to change they're writings to that oriental looking crap (even though you were reading normal english/french throughout the rest of the game), just to fit the end of the game and have the people be in VR units it's alien and strange and weird; and just to reinforce that they ending wasn't supposed to be the actual explanation, they kept throeing in hints that it still wasnt the truth or real, and that Anne wasnt really dead, and the doctors were even talking behind his back.. it's just all too thin and weak.

[Jay_Mattis]

How are the human's super-advanced?  They're in a space ship.  Is that really THAT advanced?  And which writings?

[Jaybot]

um, as far as i know, we dont have any kryogenic freezing tubes that use VR simulations to keep the mind occupied while the body is in kryo sleep.  and i remember that thin sheet of that odd material (which was just the Fade title screen) that the main character said couldnt be described because it was too advanced.  And the writings were shown on various items throughout the game and if you ever examined them the character would say that it was oreintal looking writing, but not of thos world, or something similar, and then at the end that kind of writing was all over the space ship.

[Jay_Mattis]

Well, **** me hard, you're right. I still liked it though.

[Dan East]

Wow. The whole cryogenic-sleep-while-experiencing-VR-induced-reality sounds a little like the Matrix, huh?<br><br>Dan East<br>

[Jaybot]

Yeah, except for the Matrix did that at the beginning of the movie and there was a story/point behind it (the robots used humans for energy).  This was at the end and there was no point or good explanation.

WELL FUCKING THANKS!<br>What if I wanted to go out and play the game?<br><br>You ruined the ending!<br><br>YOU SUCK!<br><br>~~~
