Why does GT not get any acclaim in mainstream media?

Let's see FM5 took less then half the time to develop then GTS and still managed to launch with more cars and tracks and overall content.  On top of all that FM5 didn't remove a major feature that was present in all previous games.  GTS removed the ability to upgrade cars which was a major feature in all previous GT games.  If Forza would remove the ability to upgrade cars the game would face a major backlash and a giant drop in sales.  Also every Forza game since FM2 had some paid DLC, so the fact that FM5 had paid DLC was a surprise to no one.

All I see are excuses to say GTS having free DLC is pointless while FM5 should be excused even if it had paid DLC... such double standard.

Forza games get free DLC on  regular basis also.  So yeah GTS having free DLC isn't a big deal especially since most of that DLC has been content that appeared in previous games already.  Almost all the paid DLC in Forza games has been brand new content.  Also like I already mentioned earlier the paid DLC in Forza games is priced very reasonably and lower then paid DLC in other racing games and since it only has a four year live cycle its on sale on a semi regular basis.
