"Mixed reviews"

[edit]

According to the passage, the game has received mixed reviews according to Metacritic. However, for the Xbox One, the game has received generally positive reviews (a green 75/100). I am just bringing it up. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 01:51, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to change the passage into something close to being either "The game received generally mixed reviews for the PlayStation 4 and PC and received generally positive reviews for the Xbox One, according to Metacritic." or "The game received generally favorable reviews, according to Metacritic." (because the game has not received negative critic reviews) if that is all right with you. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 13:59, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The first one is best, as its accurate and reflects the source, even if its a bit verbose. The second form is worse than the original version, as you switch from saying it has mixed reviews (2 platforms), which ignores the 1 positive platform, to saying it has positive reviews (1 platform) and ignores the 2 mixed platforms. -- ferret (talk) 14:07, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I like the first one better as well. I am going to edit the text soon. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 17:58, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps we can say "mixed to positive" reviews? DarkKnight2149 19:02, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Mixed to positive" is frowned on by project consensus and guidelines, see WP:VG/POV. -- ferret (talk) 19:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

i have read a lot of criticism and would argue the opposite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.49.6.225 (talk) 06:10, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Most review scores underutilized

[edit]

flag Redflag: I notice that the template in the "Reception" section uses many review scores but that only two of the reviews of the scores, Game Informer and Giant Bomb, are discussed in the prose, making all the other reviews underutilized and making the subsection a stub. We need to expand the subsection's prose by utilizing all of the references to reviews for the game. Gamingforfun365 (talk) 21:35, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Music

[edit]

Original music for the game was composed by Gordy Haab, using a mixture of classic Star Wars themes as well as new themes. The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Despite the popularity of the score, an official soundtrack for the game has not yet been released. However, several cues have been made available on YouTube. Manikin Skywalker (talk) 06:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Kosack (talk) 09:36, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
