Talk:The Thing (video game)

Untitled
Is this really a survival horror? I doubt that...

Yes it is.. why don't you go play it?

Removal of sections
I removed the following sections from the article:

Bosses

1

''This is the first boss of the game and is in one of the earlier levels. You find it in an open room with a few crates scattered. These crates are breakable so shoot them to pick up the supplies. Run around the boss and shoot it while doing so. When it reaches little health (you can tell an enemy has little health when the automatic cross hair over it turns red) fry it with the flame thrower a few times. Shortly after that, it should fall to the ground and you have beaten it.''

''This Thing is located in a warehouse facility through a garage door. Even before opening the door that brings you to the boss, you can hear the shrills and roars it makes. Once you are in, you'll see a wall of un-breakable crates. Go to the right where there is the smaller stack of crates. Fix the junction box and now you can spontaneously electricute it. When it is being electricuted, it won't attack but it only is electricuted for a short time so pump as many bullets as you can after throwing the switch on the other side of the room that electricutes it. When its health is low just hit it with the flame thrower as many times as you can.It will eventually die. A reported glitch on this boss says to creep slowly to the side of the crates that block you from the thing so your in a position where you can shoot it but it can't attack back. From there, you just keep shooting it, then flame thrower it from the same position to finish it off.''

Why: Not particularly factual about the nature of the game, such walkthrough descriptions are better off posted at gameFAQs. Take it there.

More removal
I've taken out the entire detailed plot description as per WP:NOT: ''Wikipedia articles on works of fiction should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's achievements, impact or historical significance, not solely a summary of that work's plot. A plot summary may be appropriate as an aspect of a larger topic.''

 * Is there any way the article could be expanded? Seems a bit threadbare now. DarkSaber2k 10:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * A brief plot synposis, any other information from sources; The only source I have on hand is Edge magazine, which may have a preview article with some interesting development tidbits. I'll take a look. Marasmusine 12:28, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Current events
Any news on wether it will be re-released alongside the 2011 prequel? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.247.238.46 (talk) 06:20, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
