That's poor logic. An effect doesn't have to be universal to be relevant, it doesn't even have to be the majority. A multi-tide of others variables can come into play, e.g. both the games you bring up are downports, while P4G and MK8D are upgrades. |
My point was that *he* brought it up without consideration for other variables as a reason to dismiss the score when numerous other logical explanations can be put forward. The game includes all DLC plus new content, it won't have been reviewed by the same individuals, etc. Saying that portability causes a net boost to game scores seems like a very trite and half baked rationale for dismissing a score someone doesn't agree with. And as pointed out by others, very few reviews bother to even mention the portability as a positive. And as otjers have also pointed out, plenty of ports have retained their high scores by just paxkaging all DLC together and polishing the visuals. Thats what MK8D did and then added new content to boot. Content that the original game lacking was a major complaint.
