IMO Gran Turismo 5 is no Too Human or Alan Wake, it's easy to see where all that love for realistic/completeness car simulation was dedicated to.

I don't see which way your post points sorry.

but yes, GT5 is no TH or AW, the expectations were not the same. This is one of the only franchises that sells tens of millions, it comming out disapointing is a much bigger deal even if the game is still good.

Have you played GT5 (for more than 10 minutes...)? If not I'd advise you to do so and then you can form your own opinion about the game. This is probably my game of the year despite the sub 90's reviews.

but the fact that the game fails to get critical and unanimous acclaim is the very disapointment of this game. THe fact that it failed to deliver was to be expected, but the fact that it disapoints was not. Whether you like the game or not, it won't be on any best game of the year list besides racing/sport when it should have been a weighty contender to game of the year overall.
