I feel the games that tend to get 90+ generally aren't that great. They just appeal to critics in a way MS games generally don't.

When games like Journey and Smash Bros gets 90+ scores, I just know fans of Xbox exclusives are out of touch with critics.

So...you're saying it's the critics fault? They just don't "get" MS exclusives? You act like MS makes these crazy, left field exclusives and they really don't. Most of the Xbox Ones exclusves, released or upcoming, are from franchises that they've had for years, and many of them were 90+ games before. I don't really get argument you're trying to make here.

Journey and Smash are bad examples. Those games were also extremely well recieved by gamers in general. 

I think Sunset Overdrive was fantastic and fresh. I think Killer Instinct is one of the best and freshest fighting experiences in years. Forza Horizon 2 is one of the best open world driving games ever. I haven't play Ori, but that's a game that almost hit 90.

Uncharted 3 scored in the 90s and basically more Uncharted 2. Journey is not the hit people think it is but reviews incredibly well. Smash Bros is kinda the same game its been since the 90s. Last of Us had great story but the gameplay is much to boast about.

So yeah, MS has great, unique stuff the competitors have no answer for. But it just doesn't do as well with the critics.

I'm not really sure about the point you're trying to make here. Are you implying that Microsoft games are underrated while Sony/Nintendo games are overrated? 

You also never really answered my question, what is it that Xbox exclusives lack that causes them to end up under 90? I also think you need to remember than critics are just gamers like you or I, the only difference is that they're given a platform to tell people how they feel about a game. So when you say things like "They just appeal to critics in a way MS games generally don't." you're saying that they appeal to people in a way MS games usually don't.

You may like certain games more than most people do, but that doesn't mean that the reviews aren't indicative of their quality.
