@Cukie Gherkin Hi, so when will you start the review if you don’t mind me asking? PrimalMustelid (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh my bad, I was without a PC for like a week so I forgot about this. Let me finish up another GA and I'll get this finished today. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Alrighty then, I can wait a bit. PrimalMustelid (talk) 18:28, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Actually I'll prioritize this since it seems the other GA nom has been inactive. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:32, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lead

  1. My first thought is to make sure that "bonfires" and "bonfire" is consistent; I feel like it's a little loosey goosey with respect to when it uses one or the other.
  2. I feel like the "positive reception" bit could go at the beginning of the paragraph, since all of the paragraph deals with positive reception to it.
  3. I feel like "many Easter eggs" is a little exaggerative for five games; maybe use several instead.
Implemented your lead suggestions, although I'm unsure about what you mean by the first one. PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
What I mean for the first one is that it feels like it sometimes uses singular or plural differently for no apparent reason. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
So I should consistently use either singular or plural form, is that correct? PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:51, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Unless there's a good reason to use one over the other, yeah - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Replaced most plural forms in the lead. PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Characteristics

  1. Is it important to mention that the character is undead? I don't think that anything is really lost if that factor is not mentioned.
I suppose not really, removed. PrimalMustelid (talk) 21:41, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
  1. Which source is used to verify that Dark Souls 3 allows upgrading, leveling up, and repairing gear? I'd also appreciate if you could double check that the existence of these features is verified for 1 and 2 as well.
I believe that this is technically (or partially depending on how you want to look at it) confirmed when the Polygon article states,『Those bonfires were to enable players to perform various functions, though many of those functions sound like the type of things players can do at Dark Souls’ bonfires already (level up, reverse hollowing, etc.)』in terms of Dark Souls III.

Appearances

  1. "In the Dark Souls series, many of them are scattered throughout different locations and range from close proximity to each other to far away to give off appearances of being scattered throughout different locations." Is this dev info, that they intentionally made them scattered? If so, I think it'd work better in Characteristics, and also could stand to be pared down.
Relocated to the Characteristics section. PrimalMustelid (talk) 14:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
  1. I feel like the YouTuber info is given too much weight. For example, this line: "known for investigations of cut contents of games produced by FromSoftware" is not really valuable, the fact that a source is being cited for what he said should be adequate for context. I would also recommend reducing the discussion of the YouTuber's theory as best you can, if possible to a brief summary, as I think that a theory with that much elaboration would need to be something more widely adopted and accepted.
Simplified the cut content a bit. PrimalMustelid (talk) 20:32, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

References

  1. Attack of the Fanboy is not a reliable source
Replaced with a GameRevolution source. PrimalMustelid (talk) 22:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
  1. While Valnet sources are not unusuable, is it possible to replace them with better ones?
I generally tried to minimize Valnet source usage outside of reception (just done so a bit more), but there are some areas where I can't find better sources to replace them. PrimalMustelid (talk) 22:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
  1. I don't see FandomWire listed on WP:VG/RS. The source doesn't seem bad so I won't ask for its removal, but I'd recommend getting more opinions by bringing the site up on WT:VG/RS.
I can bring it up there later on. PrimalMustelid (talk) 22:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
