Additions[edit]

Added a bunch of stuff. Previously was just "Chaos Legion is a videogame made by Capcom", so I added lots of more stuff. Seeing as how I'm not that far into the game, though, I'm unable to add a WHOLE lot...plus, I don't know that much about Wiki-ing. --TerminusEst13

Okay, who was the silly boy who added this into "Shooter stubs"? This game isn't a shooter. Moved to Computer and Video Game stubs. --TerminusEst13

Clean Up[edit]

Okay, I cleaned this up a little bit, added the legions and their abilities and fixed some errors. Anything else that needs to be changed?

Again, I cleaned it up and added a few more things. Unless something major needs to change, I'll stop updating. Baron Von Carnage 01:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I felt this article could use some attention. It appears to have undergone some major overhauls even since the above comment was added. I have given the article a major revision. My complaints with the article before my revision are:
  • Overly flowery language. This is an encyclopedia.
  • Too much point of view and bias. It was written as from the view of a fan who viewed the game as receiving unduely negative reception. The music section, for one, obviously had a positive bias. I would respect such phrases similar to "garnered a cult-like following" if there were references. But most of it was just opinionated fluff that needed to go. A bit of cruft here and there, too.
  • No citations. Admittedly, I did not add any sources, but that does not nullify the fact that we don't have sources.
  • Too much unnecessary bolding and italics. It was all over the place. Judging from other video game article plot sections, I decided to remove nearly all of these.
  • The text before the contents table was far too lengthy. I deleted part of it for reasons pertaining to the others I have given, and the other part I moved into the gameplay section. The text before the contents now could probably use some revision however, and I would encourage someone to rephrase it.
  • Tense issues. The story section should be told in present tense to keep it consistent with other video game articles.
Wow, that's a lot of bullets. In any event, I would gladly welcome additions to the new version as much of my revision was chopping the article down. But I would like to ask that it not be reverted to the old version without a valid reason given here on the talk page. Even then, I would like to see many changes made to it. The article needs attention. Thanks in advance! --Trance 07:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How do we get a reference for cult like following? Wait till its in an 'Official' article by IGN? A dedicated CHaos Legion fansite? What qualifies for a reference? I am simply curious, my experience says it does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.250.165.80 (talk) 07:34, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

gameply change[edit]

I remove the two FPSs.I added the dynasty wariors link, for two reasons 1)it is part in the same genre, action/hack and slash, and 2)it is often discribe as a blend of Devil May Cry and Dynasty Warriors.Merc25 06:18, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reception & Neutrality[edit]

How is this NPOV, at least in comparison to other video game articles? It gives rankings from 2 sources for botht he PS2 & PC release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.251.34 (talk) 15:33, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this really based on the novels, or is it the other way around?[edit]

I own the novels, and each copyright page includes Capcom's logo and trademark. Here's a scan of the page from the first volume. https://i.imgur.com/dvupilG.png

The gamw was published on March 6, 2003, before the main novels even came out. February 1, 2003 is the release date of the first volume, likely to release as closely as possible to the game. I think Capcom hired Tow a year or so before the game released (based on the JP wiki's supposed start date). Mobygames also lists Tow as "Novelization staff." https://www.mobygames.com/game/12754/chaos-legion/credits/ps2/?autoplatform=true

On the other hand, I can't find any evidence that the novels came first. So I think this Wiki needs to be updated to reflect what appears to be a common misconception. Tenerezza habanero (talk) 00:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
