umm yeah


Your response is in no way sufficient to me.  What makes the games deserve nearly perfect scores?  MANY great games don't even pass 90.  Fire Emblem: Awakening BARELY passed 90.  Kid Icarus: Uprising didn't even get close to 90, though I think it completely deserves 90 or higher if GTA deserves to be the highest rated games in video game history for nearly every iteration.

Different tastes, those games you mentioned don't carry the weight, or are not as mindblowing as a game like GTA are at the time at launch. Hype has a lot to do with the scores as well. More mainstream games tend to get higher scores anyways.


Core elements do carry weight.  You think that they can be looked over just because it's GTAV?  And what you said is exactly the reason why I'm asking if it really deserves the score.
