Talk:Darkwatch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There's also a russian movie of the same name. savidan(talk) (e@) 02:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
How was the controversy resolved?
I own the game, and I don't recall any controversy over it being resolved. My copy of the game, bought past the listed date, still has the Prom Night scene in it. --TerminusEst13
There was no controversy surrounding the love scene between Jericho and Tala called "Night of Passion." It received media attention in the form of mentions in articles about the game story, as well as reprinted concept artwork of the scene. None of the press was negative. For anyone who plays through Darkwatch, the importance of this scene in setting up the finale is quite evident.
A search for Darkwatch on Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) only brings up the video game. I believe the Russian film you're referring to is "Nightwatch," a.k.a. "Nochnoy Dozor."
[edit] Biased
This article is rather biased don't you guys think? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.241.126.129 (talk) 05:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] POV
The "gameplay" section of this article needs to be re-written. It's completely biased. Even though the game might be a rather generic first-person shooter, I recall it receiving generally positive reviews. Whoever wrote the gameplay section for this article clearly intended for readers to come away with the impression that this was a dull game. Chicken Wing 03:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Really? Strange. I was under the impression I liked the game and wanted to give a fair look at it. And, seriously, Darkwatch DOES do very, very little that's new. It's fun, but it's not innovative in any way, shape, or form. TerminusEst13 23:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- In the gameplay section if you want to say the game is not original, I think it should be said once and it should be linked to a noteworthy review that says the game lacks in originality. As it is now, the entire gameplay paragraph just reads about how unoriginal the game is. Chicken Wing 19:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Why does a fact need a citation? The sky is blue. Does that need a citation? No, because we can go outside and see that the sky is, in fact, blue. Anyone who plays Darkwatch can see that next to nothing in it is original. The weapons are staple FPS fare, just westernized. The abilities are generic FPS powerups. The Blood Shield is lifted right from Halo. The only-two-weapons-at-a-time also originated from Halo, and now many other shooters are trying to take it up. It even has the typical woman-in-your-head-that-states-the-obvious-AND-NEVER-FUCKING-LEAVES-YOU-ALONE. YES, CASSIDY, I KNOW I NEED TO PICK UP THAT WEAPON. YES, CASSIDY, I KNOW I NEED TO SHOOT THOSE GUYS. YES, CASSIDY, I KNOW--aw, fuck, I'm dead, thanks a bunch.
- Darkwatch is a great game. One of the best damn shooters for the XBox. It is not, however, original in any way, shape, or form, and this needs to be noted. There are other areas in which it's stated that it's a damn good game, especially in the intro--the matter of whether it's good or not is opinion, though, and needs to have citations. Facts do not.
- I'll tell you what, though. I'll look over the gameplay section and see if there's any way I can make it less "negative", as you put it. Maybe I said it was unoriginal too much. In any case, I'll give it a looksee and see what I can do. TerminusEst13 20:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Revamped the gameplay section. I think I'm more fond of this one than the previous one. TerminusEst13 20:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
