Okay, I had to know.

Original:

“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Rephrased:

“Has anyone really decided as to even go that far in wanting to do to look more like so?”

Deciphered:

“Has any video game company really taken such measure to make a game so realistic?"

Punctuation is important as well:

Woman, without her man, is nothing.
Woman; without her, man is nothing.

For some reason, I had a hard time reading the word that I bolded above. Not sure why, I had no problem with the rest of the paragraph.
