Discussing the quality of Kotaku is on-topic, as it is Kotakus preview you posted, so no derailing in this. And nobody addresses the points in the preview, as nobody can - the game is unreleased here. Talking about it being boring is also highly subjective, what is boring for one can be thrilling for someone else. So we have nothing really to discuss about at this point except the quality of Kotaku.

Is that the attitude gamers had towards Final Fantasy XIII or even the original Xenoblade? Is that the attitude gamers will have towards Final Fantasy XV. I highly doubt it. Games like Tekken are usually out for months in Japan before hitting consoles but fighting enthusiasts know full well what to expect beforehand. Why is this different? The game doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Yes, there are existing reactions from japanese gamers and you try very very hard to cherry-pick one point of view from these reactions. I here state, that XCX will not end in desaster like The Order did, I predict XCX will do at least an 80 meta. What do you get from the japanese reaction, what do you predict for meta based on the impressions you picked from the japanese release? I'm interested, if the game is 2 weeks released in the west we can compare our predictions to the real meta, so say what you think. You claim the game will be divisive, so it will have good and bad reviews. How does it average out in your opinion? Below 70? Below 60?
