Once again, I am saying that you should not ask to be called different if you want to be compared.  I don't know how this doesn't make sense.

But you have to be different in order to form a comparison. The essence of a comparison is to observe the differences. If there are no differences, then there is no point in comparison.

Fine, then let's compare CoD with Flower since they're different.


Well no, there needs to be a balance between similarities and differences. My point is a game can be compared to another game while also being different. For example,  Forza is definitely different than Gran Turismo, yet they are still compared, often on the basis of their differences.

Of course we won't compare CoD and Flower because that's silly, but my point is that SMB and LBP should be compared since they are in the same genre.  Mario has been  king of platformers for 30 years, so he's the one everyone is compared to.  I'm not saying that they are identical but to claim that LBP doesn't draw some inspiration from Mario is just crazy.  My point is compare away, but don't try to distance youself at the same time.
