Talk:Emil Pagliarulo

Comment

I'm a wiki noob, can someone take care of this please? Seems like a bad redirect... 95.180.101.77 (talk) 19:06, 8 May 2019 (UTC) To be clear, "Adrenaline Vault" redirects to this page.

Good point. You can probably ask JimmyBlackwing as he is the one redirected to this page. I think Adrenaline Vault should redirect to the Pete Hines page, but that is my opinion.Timur9008 (talk) 19:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

One of the sources is a dead link

The third cited source (https://www.gamedeveloper.com/api/redirects?to=/view/feature/4003/exploring_a_devastated_world_emil_.php) is from a now defunct site, and there seems to be no archived version as far as I could find. 77.160.50.109 (talk) 13:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Mass removal of content

@MadJack72, would you care to elaborate on how the cited sources were incorrect? You can't just deleted vast swaths of an article that has citations because you feel it has a bias without calling for a consensus. Scu ba (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I hope I did a better job at clarifying why some material had to be removed by using smaller, aimed and explained edits. I'm not original OP, but most of the sources were used out of contest to write a hit piece that is worthy of Reddit, clearly out of place on Wikipedia.

The Starfield section is still in a dire need of a rewrite as it's equally wrong, but I don't think I'm up to the task. Tulgrok (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Speculation/opinion with an incorrect citation?

This is about the last sentence, "Specifically, Pagliarulo attacked negative reviews asking for features common in more modern RPG's that were noticeably absent from Starfield."

The citation for it doesn't say anything about common features, "more modern RPGs," or even reviews. Since it's seems like speculation/opinion, we should cite someone with this interpretation of Pagliarulo's comments, so we can say "Some understood his comments to be attacking ..." or something like that. If I missed something and he did specifically attack reviews asking for common features, that should be cited.

So not 100% if this is more than speculation/opinion, but the citation definitely seems wrong. ZippeyKeys12 (talk) 20:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I've removed the sentence in question as it doesn't reflect at all what really happened. I would edit the previous sentence too, given what was going on, and still is going on, at the time of those statements on Twitter. More than an attack to player the statements in question appears to be targeted towards a very specific brand of critics.

Emil Pagliarulo has been chosen by many online communities as the sole culprit of everything wrong with Bethesda for almost a decade now, with plenty of fan theories and speculation all based on an entry level speech on writing he did for a conference years prior. His tweets are more than likely a reply to him finding out about this, especially given that, with the release of Starfield, there's a whole ecosystem on Youtube of dedicated video-essayist spreading such theories and misinformation.
