Thing is, they raise scores to curry the favor of fans as well.

I think that's done mostly for Nintendo games. How these games are not docked points for being more of the same is a blatant red flag.

Compare NSMBU with NSMBWii, or NSMB and NSMB2. The sequals have lower scores. Then compare Mario 64 with Sunshine and Galaxy. All VERY different games! I don't even think you know what you're talking about here. I don't think you've played a Nintendo game in quite a while, or at least, that's what it sounds like. Zelda WW isn't very similar to TP or SS or ALBW. If a game should get docked down because they're following a formula set by its predecessor, ALL FPS games and action adventures and sports games should be docked down; they're ALL following a certain formula set in their genre.

I saw that Samus Aran gave you a pretty good reply as well. Let's see your answer to that.
