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.

Some things should be overlooked because of the massive scale of the game that very few (if any) games can match. And despite having such a large scale it manages to do be innovative, fresh and still manages to do so much of it right, one is forced to be a little less harsh when reviewing the game. But at the end of the day it all boils down to taste...just as you like games like Fire emblem and Kid Icarus and I personally don't enjoy them.
And the only reason why I didn't give a proper explanation before is there is no point repeating what has already been said 1000 times.
