After finishing the game (AMAZING BTW!)

I just noticed that there was an option to change the Triangle taps to Hold instead! I wish I had turned it on earlier!

I like the spirit of that review if not the substance. There's room for criticism (and lots to criticise in UC4) that I haven't seen in the reviews. I'm sure opinion will shift as we get further away from release and maybe people will write about it then.

Yea like that review presented good and valid criticism, it's the same valid criticism that trolls users on MC gives.

Bloodborne and The Order: 1886 reviews are in WP's Comic Riff section. Same reviewer for both. And both without scores on their pages. Yet the WP critic score on Metacritic is 100 for Bloodborne and 40 for The Order. ¯\_(ツ) _/¯

Looks like this won't be changed. This guy has a history of reviewing games. He's also a former IGN editor: http://www.ign.com/articles/stars/michaelthomsen?startIndex=20

I think it's less about someone's opinion and more about Metacritic not following its own guidelines.

There's also a fine line between expressing one's opinion and being contrarian for the sake for being contrarian.

It's not an opinion, it's a troll-review
Look at his "Is Dark Souls II The Worst Game Ever Made?" or "Wii U Was A Better Console For Third-Party Game"

you, and you care way to much. We already know the game is phenomenal

It's in the comic riff section because the game is intentionally trolled on, and somehow meta critic doesn't even notice....

Hmmm...I hope UC4 sells a gazillion copies. What a mean guy to actually write a salty review like that. I can't imagine it's coming from any place of true criticism. It's very very poorly done.

It's not, read his other reviews and articles, the guy is a professional troll.

Don't care really much either.
But please, if you add a review, you take the right one in the Entertainment section and not the one in the Comic Riffs

It's not fair for the developers and I would do this complaint for any others games :)

Not sure what this has to do with the others you posted. It's the most understandable (and shared by a large number of people) opinion, and i don't even think it's the best in the series.

Yeah that's just mean then...you basically are untruthfully analyzing something that people put a lot of work into for the entertainment (at the expense of a the creative work) of others. I mean he's not killing kittens, but it's morally wrong IMO. I would be highly upset as a developer also.

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.
Click to expand...

Well said. Honestly, I'm getting really annoyed with people popping into this thread, reading one or two posts, totally misunderstanding what is being discussed and then passing their judgement upon people discussing what this whole thread is meant to be about - reviews.
Well in this case, a joke review which Metacritic mistakenly added in place of the real review.

when is the edge review expected?

Also that 4/10 I guess it gets counted but that is such a crap review lol.

Most likely his "review" of Mario Maker cost that game a 90 on metacritic.
“Super Mario Maker” is an engine for circulating horrible new “Mario” levels 5/10

Click to expand...

And 90 is much more critical to a game than 93 instead of 94, it can actually damage sells (huge psychological effect to see a 90 instead of high 8) and I have a feeling that devs bonuses are around that MC, so yea, the dude sucks.

There is always that one guy.

I wouldn't even care if he gave a few good reasons why he thought it was a 4/10 game (he never actually scored it that, MC are just saying he did), but he doesn't, reading it (I wouldn't recommend unless you've finished the game) and it just reads like one of the userscore troll reviews you find all over MC.

Wait, so what happened? Wasn't the Washington Post review already up previously as a 4/4 (100) on Metacritic? Did they decide to use the unscored review in the comic relief section instead of the original review they had up? If so, that's a bit baffling.

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.
Click to expand...

The funny thing is some people were all too ready to defend this obviously sarcastic, meant to be terrible/ unprofessional joke review. There are a lot of people who dislike the Uncharted games and a 4/10 review would be like music to their ears, lol.

Right or atleast not post major spoilers in a review.

What a joke and an insult to ND's hard work. I wouldn't mind someone giving a game low score but that is just a shitty fanboy trolling review and the bigger joke is MC counting it. Unbelievable.
