Metacritic's scoring converts each review into a percentage, either mathematically from the mark given, or which the site decides subjectively from a qualitative review. Before being averaged, the scores are weighted according to the critic's fame, stature, and volume of reviews.
You are focusing on what doesn't matter. 84 is great rating, when looking at sampling like these you should ignore top 5 rating and lowest 5 rating, what matters is the average. Even if you remove one or two bias reviews the metascore will remain mostly the same, you might jump one basis point.
You are also missing the point of most reviews, Reviewers don't review GT5 base on exception from fans of the series or genre. They review for their respective audience and voice their personal experience on the game. Reviewer shouldn't review games based on the game's fan base expectation, they review base on their personal experience and appreciation for the game. They voice their opinion and that will be assigned a score.... the metascore will eventual ignored their opinion and provide a proper rating based on much larger aggregate of reviewers.
Gran Turismo 5 got raving reviews.... It doesn't even have one negative review.... The reviews that you are complaining about wont change the metascore.
You entire complaint about GT5 Scores is based on what you want has a fan of the series. The fact that GT5 did not even receive one negative review and your complaining about its score prove this point. Not every one will like a particular genre and will be ask to review for their fan bases. Metascore don't only take reviews from expert in the genre or fan of the genre.... that's not how it work.

Seems like you ignored your own point on how all reviewers are professional.
And sorry to burst your bubble, but games should be evaluated on what they try to accomplish and not on what you would like them to be.
And seems like the 2 reviewers that gave GT5 40 and 50 got decomissioned.
But sure, a 40 on a 80 average is impossible to be a troll.

That's what happen if you can't maintain professionalism you get decommissioned.
I'm not saying they are all professional most of the review writers are young college kids with very little experience.... but the Metascore make their review irrelevant.
Going back to Detroit: Become Human of the 84 reviews most are from credible source and websites. If someone did not enjoy the game and use a 5 point scale .... 2/5 (40%) isn't trolling it's just a negative review. Reviewer backed up his score with an article that explain why he din't like it. 80 average isn't there because all reviews should be 80%, it's what the game got from compiling all review score.
