It's actually not a badly written review.

I think dissenting views are important, especially if you're trying to create a conversation or greater idea of who a game might appeal to.

Having dissenting opinions about some video game that will be forgotten in a couple of months? How dare they?
>>
Are you actually one of the developers?

If not, it's just a Metacritic score of some game you played, so I have to ask: Does it really affect the quality of your life? Why do you care so much?
>>
Why do you geeks care about metacritic so much?

i cannot believe that this SO-CALLED ethical journalistic news outlet is giving this game a score outside of the approved metacritic range for unchattered games............. LOOK AT THE SCORES......... UNCHARTED is an 8 or up game........ it is NOT a 4 game!!!!!

>>337733052
>It's actually not a badly written review
It's pretty bad. There are strong arguments to be made against the Uncharted series but he makes none of them, just some vague complaints about its storytelling and lack of interactivity with the environments followed by a very low score.

>revered by everyone

Funny enough he didn't even give a score in the review but he apparently gave it a 4/10 when he submitted to metacritic.

I'm not one to don the tinfoil hat, but this whole thing coming out with a poorly written, half assed review over a week after the embargo lifted and dropping the metacritic score 2 points does look extremely suspicious and is unethical as hell.

I also wonder why the fuck this is allowed, basing bonuses on metacritic scores is beyond retarded.

The only time I've heard this done was with Fallout: New Vegas, and that was only because Bethesda are absolute cunts who didn't care if Obsidian never worked with them again.

How dose it feel knowing this review is fake and WP's real review is a 4/4, which translates to a 10/10 on metacritic.

Stay salty you fucking PC clowns
>>
>>337737905
If you read this guy's articles (the ones about Dark Souls and DaSII in particular), which are very dense and "literary", it's clear that he hates conventional videogames and only really likes those that make some statement about how games are a complete waste.
He's a bit pretentious but I get where he's coming from.

So, this article isn't fake, he definitely means it, but it may have been mistakenly submitted as WP's review.

My favourite game. If you like the tps genre, I can't understand not liking this.

well if he doesn't take video games seriously i dont think he should be reviewing them.

by thinking video games are a waste hes denying the artistic and technical achievements behind them in my opinion.

This is the same reviewer that praises every COD game and says the souls games are bad because he sucks at them.
>>
metacritic should throw out the best score and the worst score, pretty simple.
>>
>>337738442
He takes them very seriously and his opinions are considerably more nuanced than that. People are upset because those opinions are extremely contrary to the norm.
I disagree with him, for the most part, but I think his ideas are valuable precisely because they are so different.
>>
>>337732698
The problem isn't the literally who.
The problem isn't the game.
The problem isn't metacritics.
The problem is the publisher who pays. They are the one that put the bonus on the line and dependent on the score.

He says the series shouldve ended after the first. How does that make any sense?

The thing is....What is Metacritic doing? Washington post has two reviews. The real review (4/4) and the troll review (no score).

Why did they put only the troll review and with a score of 4/10? Are they pctards or something?Xcucks? Nintendrones?

Not even a fan of Uncharted, but man, this is bullshit.
