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

This is enough real ?

""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.""

And I'm waiting for some back up from you, if you don't believe this, otherwise just stop taking and wasting my time.

The game is gonna drop again. Crapgamer scored the game a 7.5 out of 10. Too much motion blur lol.

The "Satire/Joke" is 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. Very very soon Meta will be updated ;)

Negative : it will stay at 94 after the 10/10 from WashingtonPost.

I'm joking.  I know he doesn't count.

i've seen that review. It's by an AP member, not Washington Post staff.

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.

If that's true, why do two reviews exist from the same source? One saying Entertainment, the other, Comic Riff. Both AP members writing separate reviews from the same source (totally different in wording, scoring, and tone).

Of course people are going to assume one of them is satire, especially when the lower scored review is a day newer and was instantly added to the most popular review tracking site on the internet. I agree with you that there's no official suggestion that it is satire, but in that same breath, there's no official word that it isn't. So, the speculation makes total sense.

On the WP article, it doesn't say that Michael Thomsen is AP. It does about Lou Kesten in that review.

 

Also, Comic riffs isn't a section for satire. All of WP's game reviews are under Comic riffs.

If nothing else, that tweet solidifies the review as real. I'm now just interested in knowing how Meta calculated the 4/10.

They said WP sent them that score. Whether that's true or not we won't know

So, the speculation makes total sense, particularly when you consider that there's not even a score in that review (read it carefully, the "Entertainment" one written on May 11 explicitly gives a 4/4, while the other doesn't grade it at all). Somehow, Metacritic considers it a 4/10 with no posted numerics. 

Probably a publicity stunt.  In which case it worked.

I truly can't believe people are still on about this 4/10.
So sad.

Game's pretty awesome, pacing works well, unreal looking character models, and vistas. Probably the best looking game I've played. Combat is much improved over its predecessors as well.
