Portal:Current events/Video gaming/In the news

Hi Adrian. I noticed you were updating the In the news section of Portal:Video games so I've gone ahead and reinstated the section there. You'll notice from the ITN history that I've attempted to keep it up to date a couple of times before and ended up having it fall by the wayside, if that happens with you too just undo my Portal edit to remove the section again tidily.

Dreams open world?

Just wanted to ask this really quickly, but did they ever explicitly state that dreams was an open world game? I remember he called it an "open dreamiverse", but I don't know if that would make it an open world game. Although, it kinda looks like the Playstation equivalent of Project Spark, so maybe? Just wanted to get some clarification in that one. ThanksDohvahkiin (talk) 11:04, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I honestly have no idea what Dreams is. But I suggest that we should wait until more details about the game appear. "Open dreamiverse" don't really mean anything though, and that we should not try to interpret what it really means. But what I am thinking is that it means "players are free to create stuff" instead of "open-world". That's just a my guess. AdrianGamer (talk) 14:55, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

So in other words, it's probably best not to have it in the category as of this moment? If that's the case, I'll take it out of the category, just let me know before I doDohvahkiin (talk) 15:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

06:54:58, 30 July 2015 review of submission by Eterna S

• Eterna S (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:SOHO 3Q (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, I submitted a page about SOHO 3Q and it's been rejected twice because it "read like an advertisement." I wonder if it has to do with the fact that most of the sources I cited are Chinese sources, and therefore are not seen as legit sources? All the information in this page came from legitimate and independent Chinese news sources.

Would appreciate your advice on how this page might be edited.

Many thanks.

Eterna S (talk) 06:54, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

@Eternas: The problem is not with the sources. The problem is that your submission sounds like an advertisement, especially with the Amenities section. It is not neutral enough, and that it looks like something extracted from a promotional leaflet instead of a proper article. There is some other problems as well. There is no link to other article. The lead does not summarize the article well. It is not broken up into several sections, and that there is a lot of one-sentence paragraphs which is not good.

Turtle Rock Copy Edit

Hello:
I have just about completed the c/e of your article Turtle Rock. I have a few comments which you might wish to clarify in the article.
In section "Turtle Rock 1.0"

• “Upon the release of Source, the company wanted to work on a new intellectual property, and gained support from Valve.” -- are you referring here to the wizard combat game in the next paragraph? In which case isn't that sentence better there? And really, they didn't want to create "intellectual property" they wanted to create a game which can be described as intellectual property. Perhaps that's not the right term to use?
  

In the section "Valve South"

• ”…Valve Corporation announced that it had purchased Turtle Rock in an effort to expand the company's Los Angeles market.” – can you explain this? Surely the company’s market is the world with the games they are producing?
  

If you could let me know when you've had a chance to work on these two items, I will finish the copy edit and advise the GOCE that it's complete. Kind regards. Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Dragon Age: Inquisition debate

Hey, I agree that the developer have said that it isn't an open world game, as supported by this: http://www.vg247.com/2013/09/11/dragon-age-inquisition-isnt-open-world-is-multi-region-says-bioware/ However, they contradict themselves on their official website for the game: http://www.bioware.com/en/games/#dragon-age-inquisition Like I stated on the talk page, I'd like to play it safe and keep it in the category because of the fact that these contradict themselves. However, I figured I'd get your consent before we make a final decision on that. Dohvahkiin (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi AdrianGamer, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.

Your account has also been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Your GA nomination of Avalanche Studios

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Avalanche Studios you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of PresN -- PresN (talk) 15:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Wrong use of vandal template (by me, maybe?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ACzar&type=revision&diff=684264744&oldid=684264662

Here you (within seconds) removed some changes I made, without comment. Did I use the vandal template wrongly? (I assumed I'd put it with the user and they'd show up in some sort of category from then on?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.204.46 (talk) 16:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Splinter cell edits

Here you make some really quite deep cuts. I like what you did with the top (obviously) but the differences between different versions (cross platform) is worthy of report somewhere even if it isn't on that article. I would like to discuss this at some point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.204.46 (talk) 16:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Bit annoying - but another "query" about deleted information

If you would look here you'll see some (possibly) good content - this was deleted but it's "more information" on the people modeled by the game. Now yes, it is made by EA so there should be like maybe 6 in the game and 6 levels of DLC with their own extra characters (or hats for characters, or colour of some item of clothing) but none the less, there seems to be good info here.

I would rather fix it than scrap it, wouldn't you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.204.46 (talk) 16:36, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

If you want to fix it, go for it (be bold). Otherwise, the standard procedure is to removed unsourced information. We're in the middle of cleaning a backlog of articles tagged for cleanup since around 2011 and you're welcome to join in: Category:Video game cleanup. But if something's been tagged for cleanup for four years, it likely won't be sourced any time soon. czar 18:34, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Czar: - you've been replacing stuff with useless redirects and checking them off your "tidying up list" - that is awful. How can you ask me to when you will not yourself?

I don't think that's an sufficient summary. As I've said elsewhere, the burden of sourcing additions is on the editor adding them. If you are able to find reliable, secondary sources, go for it. If not, the content doesn't belong on WP. czar 01:11, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Avalanche Studios

The article Avalanche Studios you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Avalanche Studios for things which need to be addressed.

Golem Arcana advice

Hi. I noticed that you reviewed my DYK submission for Harebrained Schemes. Thanks for that.

I just created another article, Golem Arcana. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at it and give me any feedback you have.

Thanks, The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

DDR

The unsourced DDR articles are going to end up merged to a list (eventually—I've been putting it off, myself). I'd keep the track listings even though the articles are unsourced if only to preempt the inevitable complaining. There's not going to be much in this list apart from the track listings, reviews, and changes to the basic gameplay. czar 14:54, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Alright, I would stay away from these DDR articles for now. AdrianGamer (talk) 15:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't mean to keep you from them—only suggesting that a long-delayed merge to a list is likely the best way to handle them, if you're feeling bold czar 15:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

For your amazing work that represented a complete 180 on an old and formerly-lousy Stub article like Turtle Rock Studios, I hereby award you the Video Game Barnstar. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 07:20, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much! AdrianGamer (talk) 10:11, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Obsidian

I finished the bulk of my copy-editing of Obsidian Entertainment. I will go back tomorrow when I'm well rested and give it some more polish if it needs it (or fix any mistakes I made... my spelling can get pretty bad at 1:00 AM).

When you changed the section headers, I got an edit conflict and it somehow managed to wipe out about an hour and a half's worth of work. I went back and did all of the changes again, learning a valuable/painful lesson about the visual editor in the process. It's certainly not your fault, so no hard feelings. I did wind up deleting your edit while I was trying to recover my work though, so if the dates in the section headers are still wrong, please go ahead and fix them.

I didn't spend a lot of time comparing the prose to the sources - I only looked at the sources when I needed to know how to reword a few things - but I did wind up removing something that I couldn't find the source for, the part where Obsidian didn't get a bonus for New Vegas.

Other than that, the only thing that I'd change is that I'd split the table into two tables. One would be for the games Oblivion developed and the other would be for the games that Oblivion assisted on but wasn't the primary developer for. I'd move Wasteland 2 into the second table and add Bard's Tale IV to it.

Your rewrite of the article was incredibly comprehensive. It's very good work.

• @The Squirrel Conspiracy: - Thank you very much for your copyedit! I did not expect that. It is very nice of you. Your help would definitely make the GAN I have planned for the article a much smoother experience! AdrianGamer (talk) 12:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Metroid Prime

Since you seem to be one of the top Open world game experts here, I'd like your opinion on this: The Gameplay section for Metroid Prime states that it has a large open-ended world and it's listed as an example in here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/1902/game_design_essentials_20_open_.php?print=1. Can this be put into the open world category?Dohvahkiin (talk) 23:19, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

If it is supported by the sources, feel free to do so. But please, besides adding the category, you should explain that in the gameplay section as well. AdrianGamer (talk) 09:25, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Sunset Overdrive C/E

Hello AdrianGamer: I appreciate your thanks for the c/e of your article on Sunset Overdrive. I hope I have done it justice. I am not a gamer and had to refer to your sources on several occasions to understand the text. Please let me know if you have any issues or concerns.

You will have perhaps noticed that I archived a couple of your citations - 3 and 4 and I would strongly suggest that you archive the rest as time allows. That ensures your article's references are available "forever". The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the url in your citation and paste it in the box on the archive.org site and click save. It creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new url to add to your original citation. If you look at one of the url's I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new url to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl= http etc|archivedate=6 Novemeber 2015}} Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Kind regards Twofingered Typist (talk) 12:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: - Thank you very much for the copyedit. I appreciated it a lot. I will try to archive all the sources when I get time tomorrow. Thank you once again. AdrianGamer (talk) 12:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@The Editor 15: - It's not entirely correct. Adding citations is like playing fill in the blanks, but you cannot forget this part (<ref>{{cite web|url= |title= |first= |last= |work= |date= |accessdate= }}</ref>), which is equally important. Also, please write the entire date (November 4, 2015) instead of simply Nov 4, 2015. Here is an example for you. AdrianGamer (talk) 10:18, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

A question on a game's critical reception.

Hello, I was editing Fallout 4's opening line to add the sales figures. I looked at last years GOTY winners and saw they were all received as critically acclaimed despite them both being under 90 on metacritic. So would fallout have to win Game of the Year awards for it to be critically acclaimed? I am very confused on this subject. Ferret, the user who told me about only using metacritic since it can be sourced, will not allow the reception status to be changed.
