Blood Dragon: The Cyber War

One should consider removing the last part of the section "marketing and release" referring to "Blood Dragon: The Cyber War" as it's content is irrelevant to the article other than title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.96.66.31 (talk) 21:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

The video was used to market the game, thus it's in the Marketing and release section. --Teancum (talk) 23:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Movie references

Should we have a section about the movie refereces in the game? Egon Eagle (talk) 14:36, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

GOCE copyedit request

• A remastered version of the game was currently [...] Emphasis added. Something either happened in the past, or is happening in the present. Which of the two words should be removed? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I think should be "is currently". It isn't released yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

• Ubisoft described the game as "an 80s VHS vision of the future" where the player must "get the girl, kill the bad guys, and save the world". You're probably going to want a citation for these quotes, as this doesn't appear to be in-universe. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Alright, I will see whether I can find the citation — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

• Upon confronting Sloan, he reveals his treachery, kills Spider, and knocks out Rex. The pronoun is ambiguous, as it seems like there's a fourth person aside from Sloan, Spider, and Rex. I'm guessing what you meant was Rex and Spider confront Sloan, who knocks Rex out and kills Sloan? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, there is no fourth character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

• Upon defeat "testing his might" [...] Is that an in-game quote? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I think we can just remove "testing his might" — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

• Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a standalone expansion for Far Cry 3, which was released in late 2012. Wikilinks removed, emphasis in original. Why is it important to know that the base game was released in late 2012? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I wanted to emphasize that the game had a fairly short development cycle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

 Done. Leaving as is. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:08, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

• The team intended to continue this approach for Far Cry 3, and allowed the developers to abandon the characters and the settings of the first game. Emphasis in original. Which game does "first game" refer to? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Far Cry 3 is the original game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OceanHok (talk • contribs)

• Matt Bertz from Game Informer thought that the story was hilarious, but concurred that the crass humor featured in the game, similar to the 1980s movie, may alienate some of its players. Did Bertz agree explicitly with Whitehead in his review? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

• Blood dragons are blind [...] if they detect the presence of Rex in their compound. Not really a copyediting issue, but the quoted span of text seems way too detailed to be in the article. Maybe throw it in Far Cry 3#Gameplay as a subsection? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Looking forward to your responses. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 21:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

@OceanHok: I'll consider the request to be complete. Let me know otherwise. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 18:37, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

@Tenryuu: - Thanks for the copyediting. I have made some changes based on your suggestions. The copyediting can be considered as complete. Thank you once again! OceanHok (talk) 06:02, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Will do this soon. ♦ jaguar 16:37, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

• "while Australian synthwave duo Power Glove composed the game's soundtracks. " - no need for plural
• "and was praised for its gameplay, soundtracks" - here again
• Minor, but too many paragraphs in the Plot section start with 'Rex'. I'd rephrase/merge some together
• "The soundtracks produced were mainly electronic musics" - music
• " At Gamescom 2013, the game was announced to have sold over 1 million copies, and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated that physical copies of the game may be available at some point" - this feels out of date considering it was said almost nine years ago

@OceanHok: Overall this article is in exemplary shape and definitely meets every aspect of the criteria, so I'll be giving it an outright pass. I made a few comments above which could be tweaked, but of course it didn't hold the GAN back. Well done! ♦ jaguar 00:26, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

@Jaguar: - Thanks for your review! I have made the adjustments to the article. OceanHok (talk) 05:29, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
