Gameplay
[edit]- Is there any star system in the wanted meter?
- How can the player improve the skill of the characters?
- Are the vehicles real life or imaginary?If real life they can be mentioned.If they are imaginary but based on real life vehicles then that is also a mentionable thing.RRD13 (talk) 04:38, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- In this diff, I have clarified the way the "Wanted" system works. In regard to your second concern, the article provides a couple of examples of different skills - shooting and driving - and mentions that they are improved as they play. I'm not sure how this needs to be clarified. Wouldn't the non-gamer therefore make the link that you improve your shooting skill by shooting, and your driving skill by driving? In regard to your third concern, the vehicles are based upon real-life vehicles but are given different names to avoid licensing concerns. I don't know that this information is necessary for inclusion in the Gameplay section, given that its function is to describe the core function of gameplay. Take the FA-Class Crackdown article as an example, because it uses similar wording. CR4ZE (t) 13:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Plot
[edit]- This section lacks citations in all the paragraphs.RRD13 (talk) 05:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- Generally-speaking, plot sections for visual mediums don't need heavy use of inline citations as the information is sourced directly from the medium itself. {{cite video game}} is used at the end of the last paragraph. If you'd prefer it can be placed at the end of each paragraph, but it's not so much a concern for articles like this. Another alternative is to cite a game guide -- IGN has an online guide which we can cite if you'd prefer. CR4ZE (t) 05:29, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'm with CR4ZE; plot sections don't really need references. Unless they refer to a fact that needs referencing (eg. in Grand Theft Auto IV, Niko Bellic is an Eastern European), then it doesn't really need any. However, there are also some featured video game articles (Batman: Arkham City, Kingdom Hearts II) that use various citations in the plot section, while there are a number of other featured articles (Journey, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask) that only use the aforementioned required references. I don't think the source at the end of the last paragraph should be used in every paragraph; it's ugly and pointless, in my opinion. However, direct quotes from the game, or game guides (like CR4ZE suggested), could certainly be used. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 08:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
