Or maybe the scores mean very little in the end and the contextual value of the scores seems to vary over the years. An 80 today means something different than an 80 for a game released a few years ago. 

I think a more telling poll would be straight up asking whether people thought XV was better than XIII since they'd be directly comparing them rather than looking at scores given that had a large gap in time between them.

Lol, how does an 80 today mean something different exactly? 

Standards, trends, and methods for juding a game have changed. Simple as that. It's why indie games are given FAR more leniency than big AAA games. It's why simple phone games can get bafflingly high scores. Scoring methods need to evolve as the medium evolves.
