[b]What is this amazing piece of artwork?[/b]
This is one of the most incredible games you'll ever play. It has the most sophisticated artificial intelligence ever seen in a game, and is undeniably GOTY material. Using only the latest graphics, it provides an incredibly realistic look into the lives of two depressed alcoholics living in a crappy apartment.
[b]Trip and Grace[/b]
[img]http://www.interactivestory.net/facade%20screencap.jpg[/img]
The greatest characters ever created, though it's hard to tell them apart. Trip is a massive douche that tries to give you drinks at every possible moment. He has some kind of fetish for Italian crap, and dreams of divorcing his wife to marry an Italian supermodel. He drinks his way out of every situation and isn't afraid of DUIs. Grace is a massive bitch that whines about everything. She has a collection of crappy sculptures that you are free to throw on the floor, and seems to enjoy talking about her problems rather than drinking.
[sp]Grace is not a lesbian. Despite what you see in the screenshot, Trip actually has a penis.[/sp]
[b]The gameplay[/b]
This is where Façade truly shines, and where it becomes extremely entertaining. The game prides itself on the fact that the NPCs respond to whatever you say, usually in an extremely hilarious manner. Although most of the time they just ignore you or laugh, the game is so hilarious because it tries to be super serious. While Trip and Grace are yelling about their problems, you can sit in a corner getting wasted and yelling random obscenities at them. If you don't believe me, check out some of these whacky home videos!

Also, I think ED put it best:
[QUOTE]Just because this game is dynamic doesn't mean it makes any sense.[/QUOTE]
Oh, this game.
When Trip asked me to say one word that comes to mind when you look at this stupid picture of his, I said "Penis!" and he immediately threw me out for some reason :v:
The kill phrase of this game is [sp]melon[/sp]
Seriously, try it at any moment and out you go.

Now I want to see what "Flatlander woman" or "Laputan machine" does.
[QUOTE=maqzek;33716139]Obligatory.[/QUOTE]
They're hilarious, but already in the OP.
Also, fun game to play for a little while, but not for longer sessions.

I have this for a while.
When you say ''Maria'' Trip starts Tripping.
Ow crap Ninjad
"Nice sweater... Trip."
I wish we didn't have to wait 3 minutes everytime the game restarts though.
Oh god I remember this
Josef Mengele, marriage counselor, at your service
Good times
Is there a truly good ending?
Either Trip and Grace break up, I get kicked out by Trip, or Trip and Grace say everything is fine and that I have to leave ( Implying to never come back )
I WILL CONQUER YOUR COUCH.

Yeah you can help them out with their problems.

The game is really just a set of yes/no questions and you're only supposed to speak when they prompt you on a matter. Not very dynamic.
This game can be so hilarious.
COMIC SAAAAAAAAAANS
Everyone I've seen videos of playing this game keeps acting immature, sure it is just a game, but I see it more as an interactive visit simulator.
The game seems to want you to "fail".
[sp]The one time I managed to keep the entire thing together without someone flipping their shit and storming out/asking me to leave, it turns out Trip was having an affair.
Their marriage is doomed. To be honest I think they're better off apart.[/sp]

I'm not even sure there's a better ending than one of them leaving.
When I did get the "perfect" ending (they say everything's alright and seem fine), the moment I left I heard muffled shouts through the door.
I'm guessing it is a better ending when you make everyone confess everything, I mean, when you make *MAJOR SPOILERS* [sp]trip confess he has an affair and grace to confess she "Jinxed the marriage" and one leaves the other still says he/she had something else to say.[/sp] But I guess the only "good" ending would be sending them to counseling since their marriage is doomed anyway.

The sounds made it funnier to me.
Obligatory:
[quote]TRIP:
Adam, see I've actually been paying close attention to what you've
been saying.
You've been pushing me tonight.
It makes me wonder if you're really my friend or not.
GRACE:
Trip!
TRIP:
Adam, I ask you this -- yes or no...
Do you really think that...
flirting with me...
asking if we're okay?...
acting inappropriately to Grace...
flirting with Grace...
saying that Grace is not loved...
not defending me when I asked you if I was to blame...
and worst of all,
suggesting that I'm cheating on Grace...
but especially what you said about having more in life and marriage...
that we're supposed to now -- (interrupted)
ADAM:
No
TRIP:
Wait, Adam, let me finish!
ADAM:
No
Are you sad now?
Aww is the little baby sad?
You going to cry trip?
I'm going over here to fondle grace
(ADAM kisses grace.)
(ADAM kisses grace.)
(ADAM kisses grace.)
(ADAM hugs grace.)
(ADAM hugs grace.)
(ADAM kisses grace.)
(ADAM kisses grace.)
ADAM:
Oh yeah baby
Like that
Fuck yea
Suck my cock
(ADAM picks up the advice ball.)
(The advice ball reads, "It's Definite")
ADAM:
magic 8 ball says 'Fuck you both'
I'm out
(ADAM puts down the advice ball.)
(ADAM knocks on the front door.)
(ADAM opens the front door.)
(ADAM points to the elevator button.)

I don't find it one of the most innovative game in the past years. They almost never answer to anything you say and just ignore you.
This is the game of the future! Even better than JBmod!
