I originally complained about the 8.5. Here's the thing: I didn't feel like Gamespot had fallen into a pattern where that was a good score, at the time. However, I think, having seen their recent scores for other titles, I'm pretty satisfied with that 8.5. I think they've just become a little more stringent with their ratings, which makes me happy.
I wouldn't be surprised if some other people who saw those scores and remembered the way in which Gamespot traditionally rated games would be shocked. But at this point, it's just clear that they're tough on games in terms of score, in general, so it's less shocking/more acceptable. I think only hardcore metascore people will find issue.
