Is that necessary?

Recently, a disambiguation line has been added to the top of the article. Is it really needed with this game's title as different as it is? Thanks! QValintyne (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} I feel this article needs to be one or the other in light of recent negative attention. We need to reserve that for the review section of course, but random harmful edits seem to be getting out of hand. QValintyne (talk) 15:52, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RPP is <-- thataway :) gwickwire^talk_editing 16:36, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean because they flat out lied about what would be in the game? Maybe it's the fact that the game is just terrible, and they cashed in on the name. I wouldn't ever agree with people posting that because it's not a fact. Well, maybe some of the lies, but anyway goodluck. 76.123.170.56 (talk) 06:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't see how they lied about what would be in the game. All of the advertised features are present. This isn't an Aliens: Colonial Marines situation. This is a matter of certain people getting their own personal hype in the way of what was actually said and was actually released. I don't blame the developer, I blame the publisher. It's a shame that Activision felt the need to rush them in order to release the game before the season ended. QValintyne (talk) 14:56, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs rewrite so it makes sense.

This article needs better grammar and a lot of corrections. I can't do it because I haven't played the game so I can only guess at what the writer of this article is trying to say. Very unclear who he's talking about much of the time. Could probably also be edited down a bit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.24.110.83 (talk) 05:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote my own plot synopsis a while back for the game so I'll try to edit this one to make it a little more "flowy." QValintyne (talk) 15:07, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how should we address the multiple game paths? My playthrough was different than the plot summary listed. QValintyne (talk) 15:09, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kirkman doesn't like that game as per his Reddit AMA:

Here's a link to the AMA, plenty of quotes all over the interview. Someone who's a more legitimate editor should add that to reception. --75.161.175.221 (talk) 15:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
