How can you fairly rate a game if you refuse to buy all its DLC?

How can you fairly rate a restaurant if you refuse to buy everything on its menu?

Yes, because typically DLCs have their own dedicated review sections.

Not an argument.

If the dlc can make or break the game, it probably isn't very good

me names ole bean

I don't know, how can you even rate a game without buying exquisite horse armor?

>all dlc is standalone

yes absolutely

If I see one rat or roach in the damn restaurant, I know it's a shitty restaurant without trying anything

A better analogy would be:
How can you fairly rate a main course if you refuse to buy an optional side?

How can you fairly rate a girls pussy if you refuse to eat her ass?

Okay, fine, have it your way.
It's not a good comparison because they're different in what service it provides. I've seen restaurant reviews that weigh the speed of the atmosphere, location, ease of access, elegance, cleanliness, and of course, the meals, sure, and certainly you could do the same with games, but they're definitely not a 1:1 comparison in that sense.

You rate base game and different versions separately. For example Bloodborne is a solid 7.5 as a base game. With Old Hunters it turns into a 9.
DLC isn't the only thing that can change a game either. Major patches can drastically make the game better or worse over time, though this mostly applies to multiplayer games.
That's why "WHY DID YOU PLAY THE GAME FOR 2000 HOURS IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT HUH HUH" is a fallacious argument.

This needs to be illegal.

The game and the DLC are two separate products, you can choose to rate either product separately or together it doesn't matter as long as you don't misidentify it. A game that was bad getting "better" because it has good DLC was a bad game with good DLC.
