I don't care whether you like DA2 or not. There is no way in hell it deserved all those high reviews.
It's an opinion. Who gives a damn if someone thinks DA2 deserves a 9/10 score? I hope you're not one of those people that measures the validity of a game on a number.
I don't buy games off of review scores but they are important to a lot of people. DA2 was at best an okay game with massive technical flaws and an unpolished feel. Major publications/sites over looked these flaws because it was a AAA title from EA/Bioware. How can anyone take a review seriously when crap like DA2 gets such a great score?
You have a problem with it because it doesn't line up with how you feel about the game and that's cool. What you think is crap may be considered good or even great by another person. Like I said, it's just an opinion. You didn't let it sway you so I don't see the problem. Actually there wouldn't be a problem even if it did sway your opinion.
Not to be rude, but there's such an enourmous body of evidence out there that clearly indicates that game journalists review advertisers and not games, that I can't believe you're trying to use the "They could've like it" defense.
Especially since all I'm going to do is point at the PS3 reviews of Skyrim and point out that none of them mentioned the game had a showstopper bug in it. Nope, it was 10/10 all the way for a game that would stop working for those who purchased it.
Gaming journalists are interested in getting paid, not pleasing gamers. Gamers do not pay journalists. Advertisers do. It's really easy to see which side of the equation journalists are most worried about pleasing.
Also, in response to the complaints about user reviews being either 0 or 10 on metacritic, that's actually ideal. If ten people like it, and ten hate it, you get a 50% score, 5/10, which is right where it should fall.
The problem is when a studio's 300 people go out and all rate it a 10/10 without mentioning their bias, which I strongly suspect violates the full disclosure laws in the US, or the shill laws that were enacted due to stock manipulation. I also suspect it violates the turfing laws in the EU.
