You mean the same press that has been mostly very positive about the game, a very significant number calling it a return to form?  That practically worships Hideo Kojima?  That gave Bayo 2 enormous praise and awards?  Please, the anti-Japanese conspiracy theory is pure bull crap 99% of the time.

Not every outlet likes them. You can hear it in dog whistles when they use terms like "archiac" or "old fashioned" to describe any of the mechanics in J-made games that aren't created by Nintendo. The generation that grew up on Xbox could care less about them. You can see it in the numbers. I want games like this and Persona 5 and TLG to get the attention they used to in a triple A market. A good game is a good game, no matter where it's made.

Or maybe Japanese devs have been struggling to keep up with the industry, leading to many of their games feeling old-fashioned and archaic, which again leads to a decline in sales? You think the media just decided "we don't like Japanese games any more lulz"? No...
