Did a quick search through a bunch of other riddick threads, but didn't notice any topics along this line. I picked up Riddick a few days ago and just beat it after some hardcore no bathroom breaks playing.
If you haven't played the game through to the end, seen pitch black or the CoR movie, you probably shouldn't bother reading the rest of my post.. if I bothered to spoiler tag from here on, the entire post would be black.
Anyway.. NO READING BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS

Did I miss something there seems to be some pretty huge plot differences between the game and the way Riddick and Johns describe the past in Pitch Black. In Pitch Black, Riddick says he paid for the eye job with a pack of 20 menthol cools to a DOCTOR.
They seem to try to play this up as him not remembering things correctly (the quote "it's funny how you choose to remember the past" from the voice in his head), but come on. There's no Menthol Kools involved, it's a voice box, and it's not a doctor, it's some preacher dude, and he doesn't shine the eyes at all, he just happens to be present when the eyes get their shine.
Is Riddick just lying to Jack in Pitch Black or what? Did I miss a plot point somewhere that everyone else picked up on? And why does he continue the lie AGAIN in Crematoria (In Chronicles of Riddick) when Jack/Kira says there were no doctors to shine her eyes?
That's not it either. Johns describes the way Riddick escaped as piloting the ship himself.. but he also throws in a comment "He also figured out how to kill his co-pilot". But... the Co-Pilot is Johns! So... obviously he didn't kill the co-pilot at all.
I'm hoping I'm missing something.. I'm still a little pissed that they turned the eye shine into some kind of divine intervention. It had a lot more cool going for it in the sense of the universe when it had to do with Riddick's eyes getting shined by a doctor rather than a voice in his head.
