Vanquish > Gears of War in my humble opinion.

 

[Koopakiller]

crash team racing > mariokart 64

 

[droopy]

Call of Duty was better that Allied Assault.

 

[Seven Force]

Rayman > Plok

 

[WrenchNinja]

Okami is the best Zelda ever made.

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Mortal Kombat > Street Fighter

 

[Lijik]

Banjo-Kazooie>Mario 64

More complex level design and enviroments as opposed to the "basic" (but still good) level design of M64

Tighter controls that still feel intuitive (for example flying and swimming are much better in BK)

Introduction of elements borrowed from adventure games such minigames, boss battles, fetch quests ect.

I nominate Jak and Daxter: TPL for similar reasons.

 

[Koopakiller]

great giana sisters > super mario bros

 

[Atolm]

Castlevania LoS -> GoW

 

[StuBurns]

Castlevania LoS -> GoW

Think it's better than GoW2? If so I'm buying it.

 

[Interfectum]

I think Terraria out did Minecraft.

That's a good one too. And very recent.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I preferred Gamera 2000 (PS1) over Panzer Dragoon. Even though its a pretty ridiculous licensed game and you don't even play as Gamera. In the end it was a clone of PD, but I ended up enjoying it more than the game it copied.

 

[Koopakiller]

CONAN > god of war

 

[StuBurns]

Rez > Panzer Dragoon

 

[Bidermaier]

Geometry Wars --- Robotron

 

[D.Alpha]

Arkham Asylum>Super hero genre and terrific Stealth elements to boot.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Gears of War was better than Kill.Switch and Winback and RE4

Joke post?

THRASHER: Skate and Destroy > Tony HAWKS Pro SKater

You're not alone on that one. Great game (the crappy acting is so funny too).

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Would have to agree especially if you look at it from the "game" angle.

 

[samus i am]

Okami is a great game, but let's try to stay sane here people.

 

[gunbo13]

Some of these responses are frightening... RE4 is one of the best games of all time and many of the ones mentioned to be better then it, are not. I'll leave it at that.

My initial picks
Wolfenstein 3d < Doom
Super Metroid < SOTN

I got plenty more...will have to think.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I'm going to state right here, that whoever thinks Shadow Complex is better than Super Metroid needs their head checked.

FACT!

[Agent Icebeezy]

WipEout > F-Zero

Amusement Vision made the greatest futuristic racer game ever with F-Zero GX.

 

[Balb]

I love BK but you're saying it has better flying and swimming? Those two things were two huge blemishes in an otherwise incredible game.

 

[bengraven]

Mount & Blade outdid Pirates!.

I think Terraria out did Minecraft.

Minecraft outdid Infiniminer.

 

[Apath]

Shit another one: World of Warcraft > Everquest

What? The games are nothing alike outside of both being MMOs. =\

I found Everquest to be a much more immersive experience.*

Think it's better than GoW2? If so I'm buying it.

Castlevania is a much more janky and less polished experience. The game does know how to set a good mood and has fantastic cinematic work.

*Classic through Velius

 

[Grisby]

DANCE CENTRAL> DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION.

 

[hipgnosis]

SOTN > Super Metroid

 

[Timber]

nothing outdoes resident evil 4

 

[Bowdz]

Warcraft + Starcraft > Warhammer Universe

Come at me.

Came in to post this.

Gears of War also outdid Killswitch in every respect IMO.

I don't think claims such as the one you've mentioned originated in somebody's head.

Beyond Good and Evil > LoZ

pretty sure banjo has the best water level in any game

 

[Valnen]

What? The games are nothing alike outside of both being MMOs. =\

The combat systems are almost the exact same thing, melee classes just didn't really have abilities in EQ like they do in WoW.

EQ was certainly more immersive in terms of it's world though back in the day before Planes of Power.

 

[Interfectum]

What? The games are nothing alike outside of both being MMOs. =\

Eh? Blizzard was heavily inspired by Everquest. Doesn't matter how alike they are or aren't.

 

[Goldmund]

Deadly Premonition > Grand Theft Auto 3

 

[iconoclast]

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) > Ocarina of Time



Well, Itagaki said OoT is what inspired NG...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Shit another one: World of Warcraft > Everquest

You're an awful person.

Honestly, I disagree with just about every claim made so far in this thread.

 

[Fjordson]

Just Cause 2 is better than every GTA game combined.

Saints Row > GTA

Crackdown > GTA series

Deadly Premonition > Grand Theft Auto 3

GAF, you slay me.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) > Ocarina of Time



Well, Itagaki said OoT is what inspired NG...

I thought he said Image Fight inspired NG

 

[StuBurns]

RDR is better than any GTA. Maybe Bully too.

 

[KevinCow]

Donkey Kong Country 2 > Mario platformers

The DKC games clearly ape a whole lot from Mario, and with DKC2, I feel like they surpassed them. So much level variety, so many cleverly hidden secrets. Plus the graphics, mindblowing from a technical viewpoint back then, but still appealing thanks to the moody design and animations that give characters a lot of personality.

And don't even get me started on the music.

 

[Santerestil]

Blood>Duke3D

Shadow Warrior > Blood

 

[Fjordson]

RDR is better than any GTA. Maybe Bully too.

Now we're talking. Preach!

 

[LeleSocho]

GG > SF

i lol'd

Edit:

Mortal Kombat > Street Fighter

crash team racing > mariokart 64

Banjo-Kazooie>Mario 64

WipEout > F-Zero

oh this topic...

btw
SotC>Super Metroid
Okami>ZeldaMM, WW, TP

this is a question for the one who played it:
Shadow of the damned>RE4, 5??

 

[Derrick01]

Darksiders depending on which inspiration we're talking about. I definitely enjoyed it more than any Zelda but not more than any of the god of wars, though the combat was better.

Also agree with Terraria, that's quite an amazing game I picked up a few days ago and way more fun than Minecraft was.

Saints Row was another great choice. I already think 2 embarrassed GTA 4 and from what I've seen of 3 Volition's going to take that ass kicking even further.

 

[Omotesando]

RE4 HD outdoes Dead Space 1 and 2 in september.

 

[Goldmund]

I've been trying to contrive even more ridiculous claims than the ones present in this thread but I came up empty.

 

[gunbo13]

Soul Edge > Tekken
MvC > X-men vs SF
DMC > RE3
