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.

Thank you for maintaining Mad Max (2015 video game). Reading the article is one of the first times in recent memory that WP actually had organized coverage on an upcoming game that was interesting enough to keep me reading! – czar 13:21, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Yes, you should remove it for now. AdrianGamer (talk) 15:40, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It went too in-depth in talking about alien units, which may violate WP:GAMECRUFT. These information are acceptable, but should be written very briefly in the article. AdrianGamer (talk) 12:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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


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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

They really seem to contradict each other. Well, I did not realize that before. Since the game's official website stated that it is an "open-world" game, it should be one. Feel free to keep that category. AdrianGamer (talk) 13:17, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
@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)[reply]

Golem Arcana advice

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

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)[reply]

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

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.

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustObserver (talk • contribs) 02:45, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fallout 4 isn't really winning lots of GOTY so I think "positive reviews" suit well. We can use "critical acclaim" when Metacritic gives it a 90 or above score, or when it is winning a lot and a lot of GOTY, which I believe is an indication of "critical acclaim". (like Dragon Age: Inquisition, which is often considered as the best game of 2014) AdrianGamer (talk) 03:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that makes sense. However, Fallout 4 has been winning Game of the Year awards. My source is http://gotypicks.blogspot.com/, which is a blog that lists other websites GOTY on that specific year. Fallout 4 has 20. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustObserver (talk • contribs) 03:22, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest the publication that gave Fallout 4 are unreliable or questionable. (Full list of reliable sources see WP:VG/S) And once again, it isn't winning a lot and a lot of GOTYs. AdrianGamer (talk) 03:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Thanks for clarifying.
