Because they are getting paid to give the game higher scores. Publishers have been doing this for over a decade. They pay off reviewers for favorable reviews so people buy the game. Do you really think GTA V was going to have superb sales on the "next-gen" consoles? The game is over a year old. It's old news. So if they throw in some new features like "increased resolution and graphical detail, denser traffic, greater draw distances, upgraded AI, new wildlife, and advanced weather and damage effects for the ultimate open world experience" of course people are going to buy because they are stupid.
Don't act so surprised that console gamers love paying full price for shit they played a year ago. This is how game developers make money.
Please, don't treat IGN like unsung heroes because they are waiting for online to come out to review the game. Everyone knows Smash 4's online is going to be abysmal just like Brawl. Regardless of that, don't give game reviewers the satisfaction of pissing you off. You're better than that. They're just reviews. And all reviews are is people's opinion. Look, I'll prove it to you.

Anyone can cherry pick reviews. Kirby Air Ride for example is one of my favorite GameCube games of all time and it got average reviews at best. So please, do yourself a favor and ignore metacritic and IGNore IGN.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
