You greatly misunderstand the perception others have of XCX and its hype campaign. From reading VGC and the commentary from it, I'm expecting an masterpiece and as many have stated the sequel the game of last generation. With great noteriety, comes greater expectations. A 85 review average would be incredibly disappointing.

There is a large difference between considering something to be a "masterpiece" or a "game of the last generation" and expecting high review scores. Most people don't expect a 95% metacritic, heck being a JRPG in 2015 alone disqualifies it from such a high score, although it is not unrealistic to expect a metacritic similar to Xenoblade Chronicles (92%) and Famitsu's score doesn't change the likelihood of that happening. 85% seems like a low-end estimate, although it is certainly possible. 

I would dearly hope that "Game of the Generation" is higher praise than masterpiece. There were several masterpieces last generation.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
