And that right there is just trolling/click bait. I don't care who you are, this game is not a 40.

But whatever. Scores are scores. I love the game and it won't change what I think by someone giving it a 4 or a 10.

Also I will never give Metacritic or Opencritic or any other statistical website the light of day if they don't follow the classic statistics rules in tossing out outliers. Such as this score right here. Not only would tossing it out give a better representation of the average, but it would also help in cutting down on click bait reviews.

Opencritic lets you remove certain publications from your own personal aggregate. It's great. So no Slant or Stevivor Troll Reviews for me! 

Without troll reviews, and discredited review sites (Gamespot *cough* Fired Gerstman for telling the truth *cough*) Xenoblade 2 aggregates at 86/100. 

But that's pretty much the story for every JRPG these days. There's always people that will hate it simply for being a JRPG. These games are always three to four points underrated on metacritic. Then we have paint by numbers boring FPS games like CoD, Destiny, and even Battlefront that are way overrated on metacritic. 

Well, we can compare it with the same genre, and the fact that this game has a similar score to FFXV is just laughable. Believe me, I've played both and the contest is not there. XC2 just wipes the floor with it. FFXV is basically, press attack button and go forward. So deep and engaging. And you can beat the game like that XD.

But, yeah, the game is superior tech-wise and... well... easier to grasp. Because it demands to touch two buttons. And, as some reviewers would have put it, it's not that japanese. Ew.
