Okami

Edit: I prefer it to the 3D Zelda titles it's clearly following in the footsteps of.

I came here to post this.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Devil May Cry > Shinobi

God of War > Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden > Shinobi

Ninja Gaiden > Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry 3 > God of War/ Ninja Gaiden

Okami > Zelda WW

Uncharted > Gears of War

Super Stardust HD > Geometry Wars

Sonic the Hedgehog > Super Mario Bros

Resistance > Halo

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Devil May Cry > Shinobi

This is a joke right?

I assume you're talking about the PS2 version of Shinobi so let me figure this out:
-Shinobi aside from being a 3D action game has little to nothing in common with DMC.
-Shinobi came out over a year after the release of DMC.
-Shinobi was modeled after past games in the Shinobi series rather than attempting to build off of DMC's success(though comparisons between the two are natural due to similar concept).

Help a brother out here. Lord knows we have enough joke/nonsense responses in this thread.

Soldier of Fortune 2 > Counter Strike

 

[methane47]

I prefer Gears of War over the originator: Killswitch.

 

[Macho Madness]

So much wrong in this thread.

 

[pizzapizza64]

I entered this thread; I saw a vote for Spyro being better than Super Mario 64; I scratched my head and squinted.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I thought Blakestone was a shitload better than Wolfenstein.

 

[Night_Trekker]

I was thinking of writing 'shitmue', but I think would have been too obvious then.

:lol

 

[Bliddo]

And what game specifically is God of War a copy of?

kill.switch?

 

[Pimpbaa]

For every one of you who said saint's row 2 > GTA4, I'm gonna kill a kitten.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Parasite Eve 2 v. Resident Evil

More of a likely favorite among favorites rather than a simple full-fledged preference, but there it is.

 

[Powerslave]

Uncharted > Tomb Raider

And with Tomb Raider you mean from Tomb Raider Legend onwards because Uncharted didn't resemble the first 3 or 4 games at all.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Saints Row 2 >>>>>>> GTA IV

Awesome, first reply nailed it.

 

[truly101]

And with Tomb Raider you mean from Tomb Raider Legend onwards because Uncharted didn't resemble the first 3 or 4 games at all.

It didn't resemble the later games either.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Gears of War>Kill Switch>Gears 2

 

[viewtiful_dru]

gonna dig for this but

Run Saber > Strider

 

[Conflict NZ]

Lost Odyssey >>>>>>> Any Final Fantasy

 

[ultim8p00]

Ninja Gaiden Black/Ninja Gaiden II>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Devil May Cry X

 

[Barakov]

DQ >>>> Early Ultimas

Dead Space > RE4/RE5

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FARCRY 2.

 

[cartman414]

I do think such a thing. I think the DKC games, or at least 2 and 3, have far more interesting and memorable levels than the Mario games.

Not a chance, as far as pure platforming goes, which is what matters, since they're in the platforming genre.

Besides, DKC is so run-of-the-mill by comparison to Mario.

 

[KittenMaster]

CTR > every kart racer game

On this same note, I found Lego Racers (an obvious rip off of Diddy Kong's weapon system) to be much better than Diddy Kong racing itself.

 

[Y2Kev]

Okami to Zelda

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Banjo Kazooie > Mario 64

bring it, fuckers

Why stop there.

IMO RARE Platformers (SNES to N64) > Nintendo Platformers (SNES to N64)

Yeah I went there.

 

[alistairw]

DQ >>>> Early Ultimas

Dead Space > RE4/RE5

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FARCRY 2.

Pretty sure STALKER isn't an imitator of Far Cry 2. You know, what with it being released two years earlier and all.

 

[Petrie]

Lost Odyssey >>>>>>> Any Final Fantasy

If we're talking psx era onward, I may be tempted to agree. Before that, not a chance.

 

[MisterHero]

Yeah I went there.

SMW, SMAll-Stars, and Yoshi's Island make that unpossible

BK was fucking awesome (and BT to a lesser extent) but DK64 was a little tedious

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Reading through this thread, it's obvious I vastly prefer the originators. *shrug*

 

[alistairw]

A little?

 

[MisterHero]

A little?

it wasn't a perfect game but it wasn't that bad either

 

[dazzgc]

a lot of retarded "missed the point completely" posts up in here.

 

[KevinCow]

I disagree. I know that nothing I say will change your mind, though, so there's really no point in me going into more detail than that.

 

[freethought]

Yeah, most of this thread seems to consist of posts from Bizarro GAF.

 

[alistairw]

Dude, slamming your nuts in a car door for three hours is "a little tedious". Collecting 50 trillion bananas is just fucking masochistic.

there was 500 per level, so there. BK was definitely better though. :lol

as for my own contribution to this thread

EarthBound > Dragon Warrior

 

[alistairw]

Yeah, I know exactly how many there were. Game was a big part of the reason I failed second year uni.

 

[Haunted]

So much wrong in this thread.

Yes.

Just skimming the first page there are at least 5 guys I want to slap.

 

[KittenMaster]

So uh...

Is my reply wrong? Or did I manage to 'get the point'?

 

[Peronthious]

SCATHING

Splinter Cell just barely feels like a game in the same genre as Metal Gear, anyway. It was Thief that begat Splinter Cell.

Finally someone speaks sanely. I enjoy the Metal Gear games perfectly fine, but there are times when I don't necessarily want the "gamey" experience of having an enemy with an exclamation point over their had wander in a path that I have to time my crossing of, and be given a count down for how long until their memory goes blank. Thief was such an amazing game in this respect years ago, and currently the only game that really relives those "realistic" stealth mechanics for me is Splinter Cell.

 

[joetachi]

I can easily tell who is a Sony fan in this thread.:lol

 

[The Librarian]

This.

Also, DK64 > Mario 64

Definitely.

 

[Liabe Brave]

I disagree. I know that nothing I say will change your mind, though, so there's really no point in me going into more detail than that.

I haven't played DKC 2 or 3, but I assure you that you are factually wrong about the first game. The rendered graphics may leap to memory faster than the stylized cartoons of Mario, but there is just as much (if not more) variety in the environments. When it comes to diversity of gameplay, though, SMW and Yoshi's Island have DKC beat by a ridiculous extent.

Again, feel free to make any claims you wish about the later games in the series. But the first DKC is not in a league with the SNES Mario platformers.

 

[Warm Machine]

Banjo Kazooie over Mario 64

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy over Zelda Wind Waker

Dungeon Explorer over Gauntlet

Well, I guess when I refer to the DKC games, I really am referring mainly to 2 and 3.

Though 1 isn't nearly as bad as you're making it out to be.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Banjo Kazooie over Mario 64

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy over Zelda Wind Waker

Dungeon Explorer over Gauntlet

Quest 64 over Final Fantasy 7

 

[jay]

Everything is a variation on about four games. Final Fantasy XIII will be nothing but Pong with some jazzed up graphics.

 

[-viper-]

Crash Team Racing > All other kart games
GOW 1/2 > Devil May Cry/Ninja Gaiden

Of course, this is my opinion, but I've had most fun with these games. You also don't get many better games than Spyro 1/2/3 and Crash Bandicoot 1/2/3 (before the I.Ps were sold)

 

[Shig]

Quest 64 over Final Fantasy 7

Gonna guess this is a witty retort to the Sphinx preference against Zelda? I don't know if I'd make the same call personally there, but it's pretty close. Sphinx was actually very good.

Playing the game in question > Blindly raising the Ninthing defense perimeter

 

[Zoso]

Banjo Kazooie > Mario 64

bring it, fuckers

This is what I was going to say. I enjoyed Banjo Kazooie(& Tooie) waaaay more than Mario 64.

 

[Wollan]

FarCry 2 > Crysis

Crysis is the 'imitator'/spiritual successor to FarCry 1. Both by the same dev. FarCry 2 is the rebirth of the (now)franchise and in some ways it's closer to GTA than FC1/Crysis but I consider it Ubisoft's attempt to imitate(improve upon) the open world fps mantra by Crytek. *phew* I feel that FarCry 2 is the overall more enjoyable and definitely the more fully featured game of the two. FC2 has some more obvious flaws than Crysis but it's a more ambitious, deeper game experience.
