Talk:Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere, in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith article.

[edit] Request

I request someone to put an Box Art Cover for this game. I really appreciate it if they did. I now, shall thank the future person who put the Box Art Cover. Weirdy 00:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Compatibility with modern systems

I just tried running the game on Windows XP, and found that I couldn't get the HUD to display in hardware or software mode. Is this a known and documented problem? Has any workaround been created? Do I need to figure out how to update my drivers?

Also, the first-person weapon animations go too fast; but that doesn't affect playability as much. --DocumentN 19:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

No idea, I'm afraid. I'd try Google. Una LagunaTalk 21:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Never mind: It turns out you need to press the "Decrease viewsize" key, or set the screen size to one below the maximum, to get it to display. I'd hardly call that logical interface design, though. --DocumentN 17:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

This article previously was almost entirely plot summary and gameguide material, inappropriate for sustaining an article. Unless someone can provide substantiating third-party material to assert notability or provide other real-world information, there's no reason for it to fork from the base game. --EEMIV (talk) 20:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

What, exactly, would the article talk about besides the game's plot and gameplay? That's kind of all there is to say about it, or at least all that would be of interest to most readers. By that standard, shouldn't you be trying to get rid of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II too? --DocumentN (talk) 21:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Reception and Development (if information is available) are essential sections for a high-quality video game article. Just take a look at the articles at Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Video_games. Una LagunaTalk 16:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
The question is whether the article should exist, not whether it should be a featured article. Also, isn't declaring the article inappropriate and pointless and confining it to one section of another article more likely to discourage people from adding to it? --DocumentN (talk) 19:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I've reverted the redirect to the main article of Star Wars Jedi Knight because me and other users have the same opinion. Volkov talk 09:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I am restoring the redirect. Feel free to work in user space on a rewrite of this article that passes Wikipedia's guidelines and policies regarding video game articles and reliable sources. Furthermore, undoing the redirect as "rvv" (reverting vandalism) is not a sign of good-faith editing. --EEMIV (talk) 10:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
