I'll be back with a review in a few days. --ProtoDrake (talk) 11:42, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Review

• "In 2013, Hideo Kojima and his studio Kojima Productions were working on a new Metal Gear game focused on Raiden, a ninja equipped with swords." - While there's nothing wrong with the sentence as such, maybe you could include the fact that Raiden was a core protagonist for the series. The way it's written, Raiden could just as much be a minor antagonist from a spin-off or something.
• "Some critics attributed the game's failure to the low sales of the Wii U." - The sentence mentions "Some critics", but there's only one reference there. Can you find any other independent sources to back up the attribution?
• "The game garnered negative critical reviews when it was released." - This statement is completely uncited.
• "Zero, along with its spin-off tower defense game Star Fox Guard, was released in April 2016 to mixed critical reviews." - As above, uncited.
• Refs 2 and 7 are dead and need archiving.
• I think you could find better, more informative references concerning Nier: Automata and Scalebound in the main articles. Using the main websites as references isn't always the best, since they may undergo updates that remove information or die completely at a later date.
• Links for Nier: Automata needs updating.
• The GameSpot references are being a bit weird on Checklinks, but they don't seem to be dead or anything, so any action concerning them is up to you.
• Just a minor suggestion, maybe putting in something about the PS3 difficulties with Bayonetta (developer comments on the matter rather than public reaction, I mean). But that's entirely optional, and if you think it doesn't add anything, don't bother with it.

That's what I saw. Once they're addressed, I'll give the article another scan before giving a verdict. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:39, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not really the nominator, but I've tried referencing the article. Hope it looks better now.Tintor2 (talk) 23:22, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I could archive ref 7, but I can't find the other ref that is supposed to be dead.Tintor2 (talk) 23:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was this one

Ransom, James (October 12, 2006). "Capcom squashes Clover, lights out for bright studio". Joystiq. Retrieved May 1, 2016.

But someone changed the URL for a good one but left the rest of it intact. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my late respond, I didn't have the review watchlisted. I have added better sources for Nier and Scalebound, and have added some information about the PS3 port of Bayonetta. Thank you

@

AdrianGamer: Don't see anything holding it back now. I think this can merit a Pass. Oh, and my bad about the poor explanation about the link correction. The correct link at the moment is "Nier: Automata" with the colon, not "Nier Automata" without. I've sorted it. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:07, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply
