So how many more publications out there are left? Quantum Break has 101 reviews included in MT. Is it safe to assume U4 will also get the same or near the same numbers?

Yeah, should be having another 10 or so reviews.

Quarter to Three still didn't posted a review, though... *chills*

Yeah, I'm waiting for Tom Chick's 2 out of 10. It's almost a (sad) tradition on popular exclusives.

Review: ‘Uncharted 4’ finds brotherly love amid spectacle

""Amid all the spectacle, Naughty Dog takes the time to carefully build the relationships among its four main characters — Nathan, Sam, Elena and Nathan’s old partner-in-crime, Sully. The banter between the Drake brothers (played by video-game voice all-stars Nolan North and Troy Baker) is eerily lifelike, filled with the kind of silly in-jokes, affectionate concern and genial chops-busting I share with my own brother.

And in the end, the humble concerns of these four people mesh nicely with the globe-spanning fable of greed, ambition and hubris that they uncover. “Uncharted 4” is one of the most ambitious video games ever created, and it succeeds on almost every level. But its most impressive accomplishment may be its creation of four characters I actually cared about. Four stars out of four."" Four stars out of four.

This is the Real Review from Washington post : 4/4 !   10/10.

With this 4/4(10/10) from Washington Post, and of course removing the Joke/Satire """review""", maybe there's a chance for 95% ? Who can calculate this ?

No, metacritic used the correct review. The 4/4 isn't Washington Post staff.

I rarely like using this overly used, internet phrase, but: "welp".

I couldn't say it better.

NO.

There has been non-stop praise across the board for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and now today, the game has received its first negative review... Sort of. It's a satire review from Michael Thomsen of the Washington Post, but Metacritic.com seems to believe it's real and now its affecting the game's Metascore.

N4G isn't a valid source.



Mistake With Satire Washington Post Uncharted 4 Review Sinks Its Metascore

There has been non-stop praise across the board for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and now today, the game has received its first negative review... Sort of. It's a satire review from Michael Thomsen of the Washington Post, but Metacritic.com seems to believe it's real and now its affecting the game's Metascore.

From May 5th, when reviews first started flooding in, Naughty Dog's latest entry in the Uncharted series was sitting pretty with a Metacritic.com "Metascore" review average of 94 out of 100 based on 88 critics... That is, until today. Its 89th review has been posted, apparently coming from Mr.Thomsen of The Washington Post, but there's a twist. This review is for comical purposes only, (known as a comic-riff to viewers of the website) while the real one is nowhere to be found on Metacritic.

The real review awards the game a perfect score - a 4 out of 4. Metacritic links the score back to the satire review and displays a review score of 40 out of 100 - That's low enough to be the game's only "negative" review. A classic mixup? ...One that will likely anger PS4 fanboys and the Naughty Dog developers if it's not fixed. We've reached out to Metacritic to see if they could clear up the situation and we'll let you know what we dig up.

I seen an uncharted 4 advert on TV today and after experiencing all the moments they showed off it made me realise,

Most games when they advertise have to say no actual gameplay but Uncharted 4 looks so good they can just use the ingame footage. I bet you a lot watching dont even realise that.

Just because someone who thinks that is the case wrote an article about it doesn't mean it's true.

 

Unless TWP says anything about it, there's nothing suggesting that it's a satire review.
