Does the game have an ending

Does the game have an ending? I remember when the game came out that at the end of the 3rd game there wasn't a "real" endign. You had to watch the anime to get the ending. Is this so?

Kind of the other way around. The anime was the one that didn't have an ending and you had to play the games to know how it ended.

The last volumes of the two PS2 game series all had hidden/"secret" endings that required clearing a special long dungeon.
IMOQ had the Databug infested Super Dungeon "Hidden DarkSide HolyGround"
the GU series had the Forest of Pain.

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I've been wanting to play this since the ps2 but when I heard of the ending I quit playing becaue I heard wrong. I will be picking it up when I get paid.

Nope, //SIGN started a month before //Infection in Japan and began airing in NA a week before //Infection's NA release. //ROOTS was also a month before //G.U. in Japan. However, it did start airing in NA 2 weeks after the NA release of the first //G.U. game, Rebirth.

Maybe you're thinking of the entirely non-canon anime //DUSK (Legend of the Twilight Bracelet) that started airing just before //Quarantine was released?

Not sure. I know that one of the anime was tied to the 2nd or 3rd game of the first series of .Hack games that came out, which required you to watch it to know what was going on and that the ending of the game was tied to the ending of the series.

if I remember right, the lead character was stuck in the game and couldn't get out, kinda like Sword Art Online. I don't remember much other that in the anime the other characters commented about that. I only got to watch one episode because of work.

The character you're thinking of is Tsukasa from .hack//SIGN. The 4 games (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarentine) were the games that were kinda connected to it, but those games story came after the show not before. They were the first anime, and the first games in the series.

Neither IMOQ or GU required you to watch the animes for the "true ending"

Ah! Okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me. That's the one that I was thinking of.
