how can DMC devil may cry have a higher metacritic score than 4 on new gen? is Metacritic biased towards Japan?

meh DmC >> DMC 4, reused enemies , an even worse protagonist in Nero , and costant back tracking really ruined the game
sure dante was a prick initially , but he really came into his own in DmC
i think DmC was a more complete game and better thought out
