A summary of this article appears in The Chronicles of Riddick (series). |
I have expaned the TCoR: Butcher Bay page's Synopsis section and have changed it to the "Story" section. I have added "Weapons", "Items", "Mission Items", and have started a "Characters" section. If no one else will expand that section, I will get to it eventually, if all possible. BishopTutu 21:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
I wrote the original plot synopsis, and I don't see any expansion except for the mention of Shirah or something from the director's cut DVD of Chronicles of Riddick. I deleted it cos its wrong; in the game, its clearly Pope Joe who does the surgery. Razoroo 21:31, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
But doesn't Riddick accuse Pope Joe of doing it? I havn't played it in a while, and I can't because the blasted thing won't work on 360, but I'm sure the cut scenes can be found on Youtube. Also Shirah is debated to be a non-canonical character as she doesn't appear in the standard version of the movie. I recently edited it to take into account both our theories, I think it's best that way. Razoroo 12:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Expanded the plot again. Razoroo 12:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I corrected a bunch of grammatical mistakes and a few incorrect facts. Sounds much better now and I think we should leave it like that, until I play through the game again somehow. I may have to download all the cutscenes, but I think its pretty accurate. Discuss here if anyone wants to edit it, before you go off and ruin it again please. Razoroo 21:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Woah woah tiger, no need to get all Rambo on me. The edit that you made to the plot synopsis sounded messy, the syntax (oh btw, my English is actually pretty good, I can send you my A-Level results if you want) was poorly structured. I've kept almost everything you've said, just cut a word or an unneccessary comma here and there to make things flow nicely. I didn't accuse you of ruining it, I'm just saying I don't want anyone to mess it up cos its great as it is. Your contributions were useful, don't worry. Try and relax yeah? Razoroo 00:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Ok, so I see you've reverted it back to your edit of the plot. Let me give you an example of poor syntax on your part: "After helping him, Riddick gains his trademark "eye-shine" ability. There is a supernatural element to this, as a mysterious voice belonging to a woman named Shirah speaks to him; Riddick thens gains his "eyeshine" ability, which allows him to see in the dark." See here how it mentions "gains eye-shine ability" twice. When I edited it, I made it sound better by putting the two sentences together and deleting one of the eye-shine mentions. You've made it sound like a kids written it. I'm making it sound mature. Another point, although I don't have a note or reference right now, the ending of this game does not lead to Pitch Black. It leads to the events of the remake, Assault on Dark Athena, which in turn will lead to Pitch Black. Gamespot has an interview with the developers somewhere. Razoroo 00:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
One more thing, stop referring to Jagger Valance as "the character". Seriously, amateurs write like that. Razoroo 00:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Listen there's no need to get rude you little dipshit. I wrote the original plot synopsis here and you came and edited it. I didn't mind cos it was improved. I noticed one or two things that were not well written and I corrected them. Since then, the article has been edited numerous times by both of us. Right now, it's good, I like it. However, I'm going to edit a couple of other things. Namely, your use of the term "the character". You don't need to say that, it makes the sentence messy. All you need to say is, Pope Joe, or Johns or Hoxie. Secondly, you're using a semi-colon wrongly, which I'm going to change. Thirdly, I meant that Johns brings Riddick to Butcher Bay, the first area of which is the Single Max prison. Apart from that, there's no mention of Abbot, so either include him in the synopsis (how Riddick kills him etc) or don't mention him at all. People who read the plot here will be wondering what happend to him. And don't get rude to me again; my English is much better than yours. Razoroo 12:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
You don't need to write in outer-space writing or whatever you call it!!! I havn't seen any other plot synopsis of a game or film that does that! Most of the article is written in "in-universe" anyway, it makes for an easier read! You can't just put one part of it "outer" and the rest "in"! If you wanted to write the whole thing in outer, then it would sound ridiculous. It's supposed to be a PLOT SYNOPSIS, i.e informing people of the plot. Not alienating them and telling them something they already know. Who else could Pope Joe be? Of course he's "the character" Pope Joe, he's not the Unreal game engine! And I do believe you insulted me first so don't give me this Wikipedia Policeman rubbish. Or I'll make like an American and sue you, then go see my shrink. Razoroo 00:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Ok, whatever. The article is fine as it is now btw. So let's leave it as it is. Despite your precious policies and beloved "outer-space" writing, it's good. Razoroo 16:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Should mention of it be made here?
Yes it should, maybe a short paragraph. If nobody writes one, I don't mind doing it. Razoroo 21:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
==OPenGL 1.3 problem with this game and SBZengine.exe error.
If you are having trouble with the error requires graphic driver support for OpenGL 1.3 and/or sbzengine.exe error and the demo of the games works fine then one solution for The Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay Developers Cut version 1.x is to use the demos version of sbzengine.exe and rndrgl.dll. One can copy them from:
Program Files\Starbreeze Studios\Riddick EFBB Demo\System\Win32_x86_SSE2 to
Program Files\Starbreeze Studios\Riddick EFBB\System\Win32_x86_SSE2
and copy rndrgl.dll from Program Files\Starbreeze Studios\Riddick EFBB Demo\System\Win32_x86_SSE to Program Files\Starbreeze Studios\Riddick EFBB\System\Win32_x86_SSE
This works for Windows XP Pro with SP3 on an AMD 32 bit processor with an NVIDIA graphics card. Also, I tried the patch from sierra and it still did not work but the above did. Mystic Witch 19:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.187.118.171 ( talk)
There's no reason this can't be a GA. My suggestions are as follows:

Sure, one review says that ammo is sparse, but you get an entire clip from every enemy. Should it actually be in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.169.163.44 ( talk) 03:01, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm MacMed and I am going to be handling this review. Let's get started :) Regards, MacMed talk stalk 23:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
The links are mostly good, there's just a few issues that I listed below. Regards, MacMed talk stalk 23:35, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Everything is good, just waiting on the lead fix.
I am requesting to have this article be rated as A-class. If there's any problems that need fixing, let me know. GamerPro64 22:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
