Review scores are inflated because of overwhelming commercial bias. Most review scores on metacritic come from commercial sources that rely and dependent on user subscriptions or ads for revenue.
Can you imagine if IGN gave GTAV a 7 or 8? It would cause a shitstorm and they would lose subscriptions.
People expect this and the next elder scrolls game to get high scores, also, Rockstar has a way of creating a certain initial "WOW" factor in their games.. These reviews are likely rushed so the reviewer doesn't have a chance to fully absorb all impressions and make a fair review.
In other words, GTAV reviews are inflated because of overwhelming popular pressure as well as based on "undigested" impressions.
I too first liked La Noire and RDR but then it left a real sour taste.
