Unfortunately there are some very stupid people out there who wish to compare reviews between games, which any review system is largely unable to do. Unfortunately those same stupid people are largely unable to understand how changing expectations dramatically effect one's ability to compare games. 

It's not stupid people, it's the view the review industry has setup for itself.  It doesn't matter how alike or unalike things may be, if you measure them on the same scales they will be compared.

Try again.

Happens very little in the movie industry and they use the same scales. The debates that gamers have over reviews is stupid, the fact that they continue ad nauseam is stupid. I can only conclude those involved are stupid.

Comparing games across time is stupid. The greater in the difference in release dates the more impossible the comparison. It quite simply does not make logical sense, to compare them indicates that one fails to understand this and therefore they must be stupid, or at least not particularly bright? End of story.
