Story
What is the storyline to Painkiller? I find it odd that the article makes really no reference to the storyline. -- Hellmark 09:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Painkiller doesn't have much of a storyline to discuss, it's fairly complicated to understand, due to a lack of cutscenes.. All that I understand that is that the Player had died in a car crash, and is now in purgatory, fighting against the forces of hell. If you can find out anymore information, I'm sure it'd be fine to put it up. Unconscious 08:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The story of "Painkiller" is very confusing... Why there is no people mention about the 2 different ending of this game?

There is the thing that Satan hides as some sort of lower creature to "dig graves" (opening to hell). Not much sense is made in that, he could have killed the player and had no point not to do so except maybe curiosity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.137.108 (talk) 12:57, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The storyline is pretty simple - a person has died and still had unresolved things, therefor he still needs to be purged in purgatory. He is contacted by an Angel who told him to go kill some demons who infested purgatory and intend to invade heaven, specifically the "big four". In his quest he finds Eve, "The" Eve, who helps him through the world and basically adds some plot into the thing. After he defeats the big four, Satan takes Eve with him to hell and the player goes and kills him, only to find out that Alastor actually set him up to kill Satan. Then he goes and kills Alastor in BOOH.

Film
Hey, personally, I'm looking forward for this film, I only hope they thicken the plot. The game's plot was lacking, and it will be a big unenjoyment if the movie will turn into a mindless shooting film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.69.137.108 (talk) 12:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Any news about PainKiller movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.80.204.12 (talk) 11:20, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Penny Arcade poster
I just picked up the Black Edition (great deal at $3) and it does come with the Penny Arcade poster, contrary to what this article says in the "Other Editions" section. It even says right on the case, "Limited edition Penny Arcade poster." Therefore I'm going to delete the relevant sentence. If anyone cares about this and wants to see a picture of the Black Edition case, let me know. Ψαμαθος 06:33, 11 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psamathos (talk • contribs)
 * I also bought a black edition - no poster here. It's the german version of the game, though, so that's likely the reason for it.--Cyberman TM (talk) 22:55, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

PainKiller: Hell wars and XBox 360
Is it possible to run PainKiller: Hell wars on XBox 360? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.80.220.59 (talk) 12:09, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

A subsidiary of Epic Games
Someone added brackets after the first mention of People Can Fly informing that it's a subsidiary of Epic Games. People Can Fly only was bought by Epic after finishing Painkiller so personally I think that this information is out of place. I added "now a" so it becomes a little more apparent that it became a subsidiary later but I think that this information should be completely ommited at this point. Perhaps I'm gonna remove it completely. If someone has good arguments to restore it: go ahead. --188.102.163.121 (talk) 20:35, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Criticism
"Throwback" in [6] doesn't sound like criticism. "Deja vu" isn't there at all.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
