Lack of originality is often cited by jaded gamers as the reason modern games fail to excite them, but copying an idea isn't always a bad thing. Many of the best games ever made have taken elements from others and VideoGamer.com would rather have good 'copied' games than rubbish original ones. With this in mind, they've put together their Top 10: Great copycat games. So who's been cribbing from who?
Saints Row made its debut nearly 20 years ago, and while the game has aged its still worth playing on modern consoles.
Back when games had balls. Now they still have balls, but also lipstick and a dress.
And they claimed this place was one of the outhouses for Gamers™ and gamerGate Incels. Pfft! But look at bangerBro99's amazing display of Homo-eroticism. How far we've come.
So proud of you, bud. Now you go grab them balls and have all the fun. 👍
Outstanding!
🥲🥲 someone needs to buy this ip and watch dogs, give those franchises a proper treatment sheesh
First 3 games were great. Then 4, Gat out of Hell and the Reboot were flimsy in comparison. Aliens, demons and a weak reboot in terms of intensity made the games forgettable.
But even 3 ventured into rediculas territory with zombies and stag. Zombies in 3 to me was just a hey you know what's popular zombies let's do that
The endgame of 3 did get stupid but the game held together at the end. 4 was just annoying all the way through.
While the genre may currently be an oversaturated one, it’s interesting to look back on how the Donkey Kong franchise even got a racer to begin with, and what stopped Nintendo from ever releasing more entries.
Man, this would be the perfect title to bring next to the Nintendo 64 lineup on Nintendo Switch Online. This game was so good back in the day.
GOAT, best game of all time, never got the updated version / sequel is so much deserved,
sometimes though, as they say "never meet your heroes" to avoid disappointment,
so I look at it as, best left in the past and just enjoy the memories.
Really was a phenomenal game. I still remember being at my cousin's house and unlocking the spaceship, our minds were blown lol
Also hated that damn blubber the octopus boss.
This was better than Mario Kart 64 but far for me. I loved the different vehicles and adventure aspect.
The single player was by far better than MK64, not sure about the multiplayer as I don't recall playing DKR with someone else.
The thing I noticed with DKR was that the enemy racers seem to hardly use power ups against you, but they are pretty aggressive in keeping pace or passing you so maybe that's why they made them use power ups less than MK.
I always remember DKR being hard as a kid compared to MK64, but I mostly played MK64 as a multi-player game, whereas DKR had a satisfying single player mode.
Absolutely loved DKR. Mario Kart, as much as I love it, has yet to really capture the magic of DKR. Better in some ways, worse in others.
Epic Games has just revealed the latest game made available for free for a day on the Epic Games Store, and it's Saints Row.
Lmao wouldn't touch this mf rip off saints row if it was given to me, lmao I'm good still enjoying the real saints rows 1&2 someone should buy this ip n give it the real proper treatment
I saw it was free and it still seemed over priced for what it was and didn't bother adding it to my library
let the lesson be learnt, any more woke crap games will be sent to die, even more if they destroy a well loved franchise.
All I remember from this was I saw the news about how you can't make a well endowed female character and most of the settings don't help much with the female face. However they thought it was completely fine to let you make your character a toilet and went to great legnths to get it added. But yeah a dolled up female was out of the question.
he had the nerve to call Forza Motorsport 2 "the best sim racer of all time" ...........Gran Turismo trumps it in every way imaginable.......
.......
.......
.."The JOEY has Spoken"
lol ya know whats funny?
the writer doesnt mention how gt5 is gonna come out of nowhere and slaughter every racer ever made.
thats the funny part.
Why does everyone keep saying Naughty Dog took things from Gears of War? They didn't. They were working on Uncharted while Gears of War was being made. Just because Uncharted came out a year later doesn't mean Naughty Dog copied Gears of War. The only thing that is the same is you can hide and shoot around corners but Gears of War wasn't even the first game to do that. This is just lazy writing.
If I'm not wrong, Rockstar was created by the same people that made Guitar Hero 1 and 2. If anything I'd call Rockband the TRUE sequel to the series and Guitar Hero 3 a copycat. Either way,it's an insult to the creators to call it a copycat.
needs to look for another job. This guy is a complete joke and hack as a game reviewer / critic.
Brilliant visuals and Forza (1 or 2) should not be mentioned in the same article, EVER. Forza is one of the best racers I have ever played but this is the first time I have ever heard a person, other than a fanboy trying to stir up nonsense / lie his/her @zz off, say that Forza has anything but just good or even great visuals.
Brilliant visuals? Ah no.
If anything, this was one of the gripes of most reviewers, the graphics. This guy is an obvious fanboy that needs to put down the pencil / keyboard and maybe he can become a copy boy for a tabloid somewhere.
Oh and BTW I have logged over 100 hours of play time on Forza 2. I'm not some fanboy but I cant believe how obvious it is that some of these so called "game" critics are fanboys.
