86 on Meta/Open right now, which is a great score, I never expected 90+ like some because I had a feeling the open world would get knocked and it would also get knocked for not changing enough.

Since when are sequels for a 2-4 years old games are required to "change enough"? Are reviewers telling us that sequels like Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3 or Halo "changed enough" when they got their high scores? 

I'm not complaining about the score, as I've yet to play the game to say if it's fair or not, but reading this reason frustrate me.

Gears gameplay still excellent and an example for others to copy. No need to change it dramatically. Sequels that close to each other should improve a little bit and build upon the story. You can't come in demanding big changes. What about the 5-6 million fans of the franchise?

In another subject,  I'm disappointed by the media members who hyped the game up the last two days.  They acted like they were expecting a 80-90 game and they got a 110 game. Gears isn't a mediocre franchise that you're surprised by the quality and it ends up scoring 86. That is an insult to the franchise and the developer.
