It has to do with the value proposition and cost of gaming.
FYI there aren't any xbox exclusives anymore

That's disappointing. Though I never let a score stop me from enjoying something. Would love to give it a try some day.
This can't be good for Keiji, all his projects are getting panned by critics.
Maybe he should listen to some of them? Take a step back, evaluate things? Constructive criticism can be useful.

What's the consensus on the story? Joe Staten is probably the biggest reason I'm getting the game.

FFXV previews were positive.
Additionally our @APZonerunner's great preview:
Final Fantasy 15 Hands-On: Weird, wonderful and definitely in need of that delay
And another from IGN at PAX West:
IGN: Final Fantasy XV's Opening Hour is Surprising, Awesome - PAX West 2016
EDIT: Add another one to that - Jason Schreier just published his preview:

Seems like a sort of "how much jank can you handle" issue. I'm basically going in expecting a budget title with budget title quirks, so I expect I'll enjoy it. Judging from (most of) the reviews, the games' bones seems to be good, which isn't something you can say about a lot of titles.
That's true. I think it's a shame the B-tier kind of disappeared.
You used to get a lot more experimental titles in there which weren't afraid to try something a bit different.

Still sounds like a game I'd probably like, but the reviews have also reinforced many of the concerns I've had about it. I won't be rushing out and grabbing it day one or anything, but might still give it a look eventually.

Man this makes me want to play it more. I want to mess around with the Play Anywhere stuff to see how if runs on my PC as well, so I think I'm still going to pick it up today.

Did you read them? There are big issues that makes me think it won't reach the score people are expecting here.
There are far from positives.

Come on now. Those two games are great but overall so far both Sony and Microsoft have had more duds than truly exceptional must have games this gen. Uncharted 4 is indeed better than most last gen ps exclusives (haven't played Bloodborne) but quantity is also important and on that count no one can argue last gen both Ms and Sony had more good to great games out in comparative same amount of time.
How is that possible when UC4 isn't even the best UC game?
A lot of people disagree and think it is. I thik it is too.

As someone who isn't interested in the Halo-Gears-Forza Trifecta I had high hopes for both Quantum Break and ReCore. XBOX Ones are cheap as hell in Germany, with some luck you get a refurbed one for risible 150, and I'd get one as soon as MS finally delivers in the games department.
Don't worry, I am not riding this stupid "MS has no gamz" train, but for me personally, MS wasn't able to deliver a single "must-have" title so far, or it's just that both competitors have better alternatives in their libraries. Even more worrysome for MS, there isn't a silver ligning on the Horizon which indicates things might change anytime soon.

Oh yes, can Matrix stop with the FF Mobile ports and make a third Alundra please? Fund them Sony
EDIT: 2D of course

It really is.
But I put it below The Last of Us... so his comments is kinda wrong in my view.
Bloodborne is the best From Software game they ever created.
Very much expected considering the price, lack of any showing of the game demonstrating something I would enjoy and Inafune's name being attached. Shame since the big thing that gave me any interest at all was the "from the makers of Metroid Prime" mention. Still probably fun for those looking for an average old style platformer
Most games that get reviews from the media are 'good' in the sense that they're enjoyable by their target audience. There's plenty of 60s-70s that are totally fine as long as the person purchasing is informed about the game and its potential flaws and how they allign with his taste. This game is probably one of them.
When a game gets excellent review scores is because:
- it's a game that will be enjoyed by most players, regardless of their preferences.
- it's a game that is extremely good at what it does, even if its appeal is still limited to the niche that would play it anyway.
The 'everything under 80 is bad' is a terrible mentality, but at the same time, calling 60-70 games below average is actually true, and that doesn't make them bad games, if else, the term would be 'less good'

Damn it, it looked cool as hell in that reveal trailer
You can get a NEW Xbox One at that price with some luck.

Yeah I didn't expect much going from the previews, it's a shame though. Always hate to see a new IP do poorly.

Lmao, yeah after playing both the demo for FFXV I had low hopes for it and positive gaming previews mean nothing because that's basically an absolute in this industry.

Previews are generally positive and that's true across many types of media.
Just in the last year there have been high-profile examples of initially great impressions preceding critically panned movies and games. It's not a stretch to claim that impressions are fairly worthless.
On today's market with so many options competing for people's time is just logical to take this stance, why would you use your limited free time with a sub 8 when there is just an insane amount of higher quality titles at your disposal?

This all sounds like hyperbole though. Look at those clickbait headlines lol The FFXV previews read like the press are surprised that they enjoyed the game, which they weren't expecting. I'm not expecting to be critically acclaimed like Dark Souls or something, but I'm certainly not expecting it to do ReCore numbers.

Not really that low in comparison to other media consumption like movies, books or music.$40

This is really the issue people have and why they balk at a 6 or a 7. Yeah, they might have a decent time with that game, but when you're throwing down $40-60, people want the best they can get. Not just "decent" or "pretty good." I think that's pretty understandable.
Well there was Red Ash...lol
It looks like Armature continues to struggle with wedding good concepts to solid fundamentals. And judging by the gating complaints, I guess Pacini really was the guy at Retro that pushed the hardest for the end-game key hunts because he likes them that much.
It's got to sting a bit that Federation Force was better received than this has been.
