Sony helped From Software with their development because they saw flaws in their games. The head of Sony Japan even admitted it. I was saying before to someone else that if Sony helped Software develop Enchanted Arms it would've been at least an 80 metacritic, but 64? Just accept the hand out.

 

Why it would have been at least an 80 metacritic? No matter how many helping hands Sony would give to From Software, Enchanted arms would be bashed anyway for being derivative (which was the cause of the game getting bashed in the first place). Despite Microsoft throwing money at him, Sakaguchi came up with Lost Odyssey which is sitting at a 78 in metacritic because most critics consider it to be too conservative and derivative, so it doesn't matter whereas Microsoft helped or not, the core mechanic of both games wasn't up to the critics taste. Yet Lost Odyssey gets some love from players. Figure it out.

 

Or are you suggesting that a game that has "Only on Playstation" on the cover automatically gets more metacritic points?
