The only place for dreaminess in fighter combat is Maverick and Goose.
The main character is the NEMO artificial intelligence, the very first AI to ever be installed in military hardware without instantly turning evil – which should have been your first sign it wasn't real.So far, so fun, until the final ending reveals that the entire game was a simulation.And when even your PlayStation takes the piss by telling you that the game was really just a game of a game, you're officially being bullied by your own hobbies.
This isn't just a cute twist, this is a psychological bombshell - you have to complete the full game five times to get the NEMO reveal.Who'd have thought a program named after a cartoon character that dreams would be a simulation?At that point finding out the whole thing was only a simulation of a simulation (or simulation squared) of fighter combat would be the exact opposite of being unplugged from the Matrix: you've learned that your entire world was a lie, and now you're even worse at everything than before.
