I tend to feel that way with Western RPG's.
Fallout 3 in one word? "Lackofcoloursandextremeboredom"
Skyrim in one word? "Extremedeathbyboredom"
Fallout New Vegas in one word? "Whyiseverythingorangeinthisboringgame!"
But I would never use that word with Xenoblade Chronicles. I feel it's more of a: "Whyisagamewithsomuchfetchquestsandrandomsidequestsofun?"
So I think I'll wait till it comes here so I can try it out by myself before cancelling my pre-pre-order.
