The Daily's Verdict

This news site has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on its reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The author's statement <br>Fallout 76 is available with Xbox Game Pass if you've looked ahead to what else is on the horizon, take a look through our list of all the upcoming Game Pass games.<br>
  • The news about its performance might not be too off-putting for fans who have been waiting a long time to get their hands on the sequel

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • 505 Games has not publicly announced their decision to discontinue all Xbox achievements in Memories of Mars.
  • The author's statement <br>Fallout 76 is available with Xbox Game Pass if you've looked ahead to what else is on the horizon, take a look through our list of all the upcoming Game Pass games.<br>

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Hellblade 2's combat is inspired by one of Game of Thrones's most brutal battles: Battle of the Bastards
  • The article mentions that Fallout 76 is available with Xbox Game Pass, but it doesn't provide a link for more information on how to access it.
  • The article states that the update for version 1.7.10.12 will be around 27GB on Xbox according to Bethesda's patch notes but does not mention any other details about the size of the update or if there are any additional requirements needed to run this new content.
  • The biggest talking point of this update is the dramatic overhaul made to the Scoreboard system. Originally, players could work their way through a free-to-access Scoreboard packed with goodies, but now it has been replaced with a kind of season pass.

Deceptions

67%

Examples:

  • The article uses sensationalism by stating 'Hellblade 2 is coming to Xbox Series X|S and will run at 30fps with a dynamic resolution' when it is not clear if these are specifications or just an expectation.
  • The author's statement <br>On the one hand, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was a triumph and it’s likely that Hellblade 2 will reach its own level of excellence.<br>
