I can't even find the score on the webpage lol. Weird it got counted on metacritic even though Washington Post already have their main review up. Don't see why they needed to count the "opinion" of this joker.
Why are you taking this so personally? You called Metacritic broken because one negative review could drop down the score by one, when in fact you had no idea how close it was at all.'
As in there are tons and tons of legit reasons to dislike MC. That's not one.
Probably not, unless The Washington Post ask them to remove it, as it isn't actually their review of the game, but I doubt they will.

SMH we'll always have Uncharted 2
It's not that it's negative, it's that it was meant as a joke and metacritic still counted it.

i'm not gonna read the actual review, apparently it's full of spoilers. what i'm saying is washington post apparently already had the official review up in which they gave a perfect score. all things considered i don't get why this review is there
then why is metacritic counting it?
God bless!

Did you even see the review? This isn't about a metacritic red or that BS, it's about the review itself.

Metacritic is broken. Why are so so upset i said it. Stop trying to make it seem like I made some grand big deal about it. Ended off with its still a good score. Jesus trying to start something

I have no doubt that it'll go back up to 94, but it just seems the actual review itself is very silly.

Hmm? Dude you do realize this is a joke review and meta is reflecting it as if it was a standard one? That's what ppl are talking about, it's not a review that should be taken seriously but that's what happening at the moment. What is up with all the "you care about scores posts" you guys could find another thread if it's so appalling to you.

well it is because of this review that metacritic dropped a point, and once you get into the 90s i feel like every point is telling, sorta.

Its annoying. You can't say or question anything without them coming out of the woodwork. When they count a joke review yes it is indeed broken.
Because Metacritic is run by a posse of evil clowns who are just barely kept in check. Clearly someone slipped up. Probably a new intern got intimidated.

I don't have an issue with the review itself, I'm just wondering where MC got the 4/10 score from, because its nowhere in the review.

I guess the problem is that it's clearly a "joke" review, and the same newspaper already put out a review which scored it 4 out of 4 stars. Does IGN get like 7 votes then, one for each reviewer?

I mean if metacritic never changed, people would still be flabbergasted at the review and the fact it's on metacritic. Well, at least that's where I'm coming from.
I just finished chapter 9, but I'm quitting now. I only play 94+ metacritic games.
What in the everliving fuck lmao. I'm not upset, I'm not trying to say you made a grand big deal about it and I'm certainly not trying to start something.
Hahaha I'm so confused
I playfully pointed out that THE reason you chose to represent how broken MC is was absurd, especially when there are tons of legit reasons to think MC sucks.
e: I mean, jesus, if I offended you, I apologize! I just thought your reasoning was hilarious

evil or not, clowns or not, you got a job to do. do it. right.

How much does ebay charge for listing fees? I told myself I won't play this unless it has a 94+ and now that 93 is a slap to my face. I'm taking pictures of the box now. Good thing I finished this pos game already. I knew something was wrong with it with all that damn talking. Just let me shoot someone for crying out loud.
Someone was being a funny guy today. With literally only a single negative review, let alone no mixed reviews, the person writing it had to have known what they were doing with that kind of dissent. Either they hated the games in the first place, or they had some ulterior motive.
I don't ever try to cry conspiracy with this kind of thing, but its too fishy

How do you know it's a joke review?

Yea...It should be taken down period...I have no idea why something was added like this. Rotten tomatoes is more thorough sheesh...
And for the people wondering where the 4/10 came from I think meta gives a score based on your written words even if you don't. Like kotaku for example.

I am right there with you, while I was playing, something felt, off. Now we know, it was a garbage 93 game pretending to be a glorious 94 game.
I'm gonna go burn the disk and case to cleanse myself of this disgusting feeling of having played a game so far below my standards.

Btw I'll help a ND out and be a big fanatic for a day. Can we tweet or email meta about the review and tell them the source ?

sub-95 Metacritic means no bonuses
Damn can you imagine that?
All their reviews are in the "Comic Riffs" section:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ing-confounding-maddening-and-beautiful-game/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ouls-game-is-brutal-violent-and-exhilarating/
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...the-spielberg-test-for-video-game-as-artform/
They already have a review up for the game.

Oh, it was a mistake?
Ah, I see.
Ah, I see.
That will be dumb. if they find out it was a joke then they should remove it
that's their friggin job.
The other review is not theirs, it's actually the Associated Press review.
So yeah, this 4/10 review is legit.
Yes I saw it but the one they count are in the "Comic Riffs" section. WP also had to send MC the score (4/10), since it's not shown in the review. I don't know if it's meant as a joke but it's obviously too low.
