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.

It seems to me as if Game of the Generation is a subset of masterpiece. Regardless, I don't see your point? One can recognize a game as their "Game of the Generation" while still predicting lower review scores.
