Talk:Forge (video game)

Draft
I found http://www.shacknews.com/article/75242/forge-preview, which has some info on the Kickstarter and game history that could go in the "Development" section. If you find a good developer interview, you can use that within the self-published sources guideline. I didn't find anything too great, and it would preferably come from a reliable source. I'll make a few edits and add a cite template for the refs, if you want to use that format for the rest czar ♔   05:11, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Some questions (not to answer but to clarify in the text): czar ♔   05:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * MMORPG-style or really MMO-style?
 * Do you need a hand with sourcing the basic gameplay? Or do you just need time to find the matching refs?
 * How can it be both praised for uniqueness and criticized for lack of imagination (uniqueness)?
 * Some of the Reception looks like it can go into Gameplay. Reception should be for what the reviewers felt was good/bad

Hi, czar asked me to leave a few words of encouragement to help you get started.. I'll leave a few comments to help improve this article and familiarise you with the VG layout (hope this isn't too much): Hope this helps and isn't too overwhelming. Looking forward to seeing the rest. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 19:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * A list of platforms this was released on
 * "and Call of Duty" - and the Call of Duty series
 * The lede always acts as a "mini article" and should summarize almost everything
 * Sources should be renamed 'External links' - links at the moment don't work
 * "released by Dark Vale Games in December 2012" - released by Dark Vale Games on December 4 2012


 * This looks like the start of an interesting article. I've heard of player-vs-player combat, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. Could you link that term to another Wikipedia article that explains it? [ Strike that, I see you linked the term in the lede. That should be sufficient. ] I have the same question about the "classes" to choose from. Are those player classes? Is there a Wikipedia article I could read to find out more about classes? Like Jaguar I'm excited to see this article as it develops! -Thibbs (talk) 21:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a good start to an article! To expand a bit on Thibbs' comment- I'm familiar with the gameplay of Guild Wars 2, but even then, how is this similar? If I only played Candy Crush Saga and Monument Valley, I don't think I could really understand how this game works just by reading the Gameplay section here. Do you fight in real-time, or is it turn-based? Do I use abilities while standing still, or on the go? Is there a cooldown period, or do I just hit buttons as fast as I can? What does it mean, to help allies or hinder enemies? I guess I'm saying that the goal for a Wikipedia article is that I shouldn't have to come in with a lot of knowledge to understand the article- and really, if I come in with almost nothing, wikilinks to other articles should help me out. Try writing the section as if you're explaining the gameplay to your friend who doesn't play a lot of games, and see if that helps- would they understand what the PvP combat in MMORPGs is? Do they know what you mean when you say there are several classes? Things like that. -- Pres N  04:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
