Prose
Lead
  • The "producers who collaborated with each-other during Grand Theft Auto V's development" bit would read better as simply "producers who collaborated with each-other during the game's development"
  • The "music had been appropriated effectively for Grand Theft Auto V's gameplay" bit would ready better as something like "music had been appropriated effectively for gameplay".
Background and recording
  • "Early in Grand Theft Auto V's development" → "Early in the game's development"
  • "'Welcome to Los Santos', Grand Theft Auto V's main theme" → "'Welcome to Los Santos', the game's main theme"
Sourcing
Background and recording
  • In the third paragraph, ref#3 (Polygon) doesn't need to be used more than once in a row per WP:OVERCITE- it's currently being used twice in a row after ref#5 (Clash)
  • More WP:OVERCITE in fourth paragraph- just use ref#5 (Clash) at the end of the paragraph
Coverage
  • Could you perhaps find another paragraph's worth or two of reviews from critics?
  • Is any information available on commercial performance?
Neutrality
  • No problems here
Stability
  • No problems here
GA Result
  • If these are all addressed within the next seven days, I will pass the GAN.

I've gone through and addressed most of these problems; the two comments you made for "Coverage" will be looked into. I'm sure we can find some more information to add. -- Rhain1999 (talk to me) 22:37, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good, just let me know within the next day or two what you find. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
@XXSNUGGUMSXX: In regards to your comments about coverage, I'm afraid the answer is no to both questions. I have tried to locate more reviews to add to the critical reception section, but all of the sites covered by WP:VG/RS and WP:ALBUM/SOURCE have already been used. In terms of commercial performance, nope, there's nothing. No chart history or sales reports. CR4ZE (tc) 07:23, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the effort, though. Passing. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 15:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
