Horsemen names?

[edit]

So the first game was War, the second Death. I see a pattern here. When did Famine and Conquest/Pestilence become "Fury" and "Strife"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.196.153.73 (talk) 21:19, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are named as such in the Darksiders Hellbook Edition's artwork book. I made a quick scan for you, see here. HTH Regards SoWhy 21:34, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article at http://www.vg247.com/2010/01/12/darksiders-famine-pestilence-and-death-already-designed-says-joe-mad/ has them named Strife & Fury and has links to concept art. This info is from the Vigil studio head, Joe Madureira. There is no reason for people keep changing it to pestilence and famine. Those are the biblical horsemen but would probably not be terribly appealing to people (compared with War & Death) for game characters.Caidh (talk) 19:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They probably added it because no one can read so they say hey lets come up with the dumbest names possible it would be fine if they made the whole four horsemen thing up but they took something cool and barfed on it to make a profit off people who cant afford to read the bible vigil whats wrong with you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.197.113.170 (talk) 21:15, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strife - Pestilence was originally called Conquest, and Strife refers to a violent conflict or dissension which is something one would find in a conquest.
Fury - Rather then call her Famine, they changed her name based on the Fury's of Greek mythology, which were known for tormenting criminals and inflicting plagues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brakkis (talk • contribs) 04:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

[edit]

I'll like to know why the plot info was removed. It was not that long. And even it was it's no valid reason to delete the entire section. Many articles on video games have way longer plot details than this but they are never deleted. The plot info was also completely accurate and too the point. If it was that long, then the first two paras of the plot info could be deleted. That would have sorted out the matter.Soetermans Instead of straight away reverting you should have talked with me on my talk page on this matter. I'm not going to add it back right now. But once consensus is reached these type of actions will not be tolerated. Please do not remove an edit by a user before talkin with them and reaching a consensus. Than you.

Wikipedia does not allow copy/paste from other sites beyond very short, properly cited, quotes. People keep copying and pasting content from other sites (including the content you put there). Even if you could take what is from Wikia and paste it here, Wikipedia requires MUCH more concise, sort plot summaries.Caidh (talk) 18:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like most editing this article don't know how to add content without copy/pasting and using excessive detail. I've tagged this article for both of these issues. I will give those who are editing it a chance for a complete rewrite before I start pulling it again. The plot summary only needs to be two or three paragraphs and should have some citations. Reviews of the game from reliable sources which discuss the plot are a good place to start. I have not played the game (only the previous one) so I do not know enough to do it on my own.Caidh (talk) 14:29, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Wikipedia requires MUCH more concise, sort plot summaries" not to be rude or anything but I'd just like to point out that anytime I've ever visited a wikipedia page for any form of media, the plot section contains the entire story and thus reading it will ruin whatever it is your looking at if you haven't already read/played/watched it. Just wondering what you mean by "short plot summaries" if these are few and far between? Not that that would justify copy and pasting. Just pointing out that if that is the policy it is rarely followed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.94.58 (talk) 15:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Scores

[edit]

I think we should include more positive reviews. It does not reflect what the Wiki is saying. Most of them say 7/10 or 6/10, while the overall scores are in the 80's and alot of reviews indicate 8 and 9. While yes, we should show some one or two 7/10's, I think the score section should reflect the actual score and what the text is saying. I hope this makes sense.... --178.61.17.21 (talk) 11:14, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

[edit]

I think the Sales section on the page should be altered. It may have sold the most in August but it should be altered to mention that there were little to no major releases in that month. Otherwise it is very misleading because though I don't pay attention to sales numbers for games, I'm pretty sure that the number of copies sold mentioned in the article is not very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.219.94.58 (talk) 15:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC) It was competing directly with Sleeping Dogs, so no. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.61.17.21 (talk) 20:44, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darksiders 2: Definitive Edition (PS4)
