You are aware that in case of Triple A games like GoW3, the devs pay millions and even billions to profesional reviewers just to get a high score, right? It's all done to increase sales, for even if the review is shit or the game itself isn't as good, those simple numbers will be enough to convince more people than you'd expect of buying the game.

That, and GoW already established itself as a franchise focused on action, not on plot, like DMC, so people didn't care too much.

With Telltale Games, if their name is not indicative enough, every gamer knows that they focus on telling a story, more than making a game, which is why their games are closer to interactive books than actual games. However, this is not an issue for them, because anyone that plays a Telltale Game is one that only cares about the story, not the gameplay. And even if they don't, the stories tend to be so well written you end up loving them anyway.
