Removal of rambling on BioShock themes
[edit]This was borderline unreadable and flagged with multiple issues, in addition to being far too long for this page. I kept the summary and deleted the rest. Dgpop (talk) 20:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Requested move
[edit]There is an ongoing move discussion involving this page at Talk:Ken Levine (disambiguation)#Requested move ~~ GB fan ~~ 05:54, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Huge Edits
[edit]I feel there could be a lot added to this page besides what is there already. I'm looking to add information about how he is also a screenwriter, author and sociology savant. His views on objectivism and other sociological subjects is nowhere to be found, nor is his authoring work, artistic style, influences, reception amongst other artists or outlook on the video game industry as a whole. I have multiple sources I will be using, such as Washington Post interviews and books written by the man himself. As I edit, I would appreciate any and all the help I can get. --TheShark93 (talk) 16:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC) I've started a section on Levine's work on Bioshock such as his philosophical implications in the game. I will also be adding a section like this for BIoshock Infinite as well as plans for upcoming projects, a section on him receiving the inaugural lifetime achievement award from the Golden Joystick Awards.--TheShark93 (talk) 18:55, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- The article is coming realy good it has great info and is well structured. Kpol1298 (talk) 06:07, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Endings
[edit]Isn't it wrong to, in the part of the article about Bioshock, write "[...] so much to the point that the player can get a variety of endings", since there isn't really a variety, there are two (2), one "good" and one "evil" ending (that has even been explicitly criticized for being ridiculously extreme), and neither are there an extreme amount of choices in the game; mainly, you do the same choice over and over, i.e. whether or not to kill a specific class of NPC, and that's about it. Writing "a variety" seems just plain false. 81.227.4.20 (talk) 19:51, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
