its because Sony has a superior 2D platforming game, its called littlebigplanet

 

Edit : for people who thought this was my own personal opinion

 

metacritic scores

littlebigplanet 95 > 89 super mario bros DS

Littlebigplanet 2 91 > 87 super mario bros Wii

Littlebigplanet vita 88 > 78 super mario bros 2 3DS

 

Are we calling any mario game?

Because if we are you know for a fact that little big planet can stand up the mario bros series and mario land series.

The music is enough to make LBP to look like a generic game.

LBP has been dying off.... Mario is alive and going strong.

Don't even bother... I gave him a list of links to major gaming sites citing SMB as one of the greatest games ever in the history of gaming, and he still didn't buy that SMB is superior. It's not that HE thinks that LBP is better, he is incisting that it's the publics view

as i said i wont go through all the hunderds of LBP reviews,thread and articles to find something like that. also SMB is a 30 year old game, even if the public perception that the SMB franchise was once better than LBP (we cant honestly say that because LBP is about 5 years old and wasnt around in the 80's) . but now the public perception is that the LBP franchise  is better than the SMB franchise. and by public perception i mean professional game reviews. did any of those major gaming sites say the same thing about SMB2 on 3DS that they said about the 30 year old SMB?

Recognise yourself much?

I have provided proof that the established game industry as a whole still thinks that SMB is a superior game compared to almost everything. In other words: game journalists thinks that SMB, a 30 year old game, is better than LBP. SMB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LBP. It doesn't matter how old the game is. After 30 years it is still superior to LBP. Fact. Logic.

That would be the case of Forza vs GT - ha ha

But really - if LBP takes the crown is graphics, functionnalities and other aspects it's far behind in terms of gameplay - and that my firend is where the value is at


what does forza and GT have to do with this thread? personally i couldnt care less about those 2 games. but again i see no reason why those 2 games were brought up

Back on topic - the answer is obvious

if they create another SMB clone they compete against the already struggling LBP


I wish all games would struggle as much LBP

how is LBP a clone? im just asking honestly, no intention to start anything, just a logical and mature conversation. please explain your points on how LBP is a SMB clone

I'm with Bananaking on this one... How is LBP a clone of mario? I guess it could be argued that ALL 2D platforming after SMB is a clone... But that would include DKC and rayman and everything...

Bananaking is playing the "my opinion = truth" card, which has merited little but ridicule.


I don't think so. The OP asked a question and I assume he wanted an honest answer. Bananaking gave his answer and went further by saying LBP was the superior game. Honestly, what's wrong with this? It's his own opinion and he has a right to it. This looks more like Mario fans getting upset because someone enjoys LBP more. 

You're right about bananaking having the right to his opinion, but people have the right to state that they prefer Mario to LBP to him.  If I went into a thread and said that I thought that Avatar was better than the original Star Wars that would be my right, but it would be the right of others to say that I was wrong as long as they did so respectfully.

But he has said that it ISN'T his opinion. And that's why this drags on

shouldn't you ask that to OP ? I mean the title makes it pretty clear (lol) :

Why did Sony go with Super Smash Bros. too instead of Super Mario Bros. too?



phenom08 on 12 November 2012

So have Sony fans just admitted LBP is a copy of 2D Mario? The second sentence in the op pretty much as for a Mario clone. Im sure Sony would rather sell millions of copies like Ninty does with Mario, then get good review scores and their franchise still sell less and less.

He (Bananaking) has stated that HE didn't think LBP was superior to SMB, but have made it look like as if game sites and the public in general think this is the case. The rest of the thread has been aimed at debunking this statement, that the public actually thinks that SMB is the better game.

And I am positive that the OP knew precisely that LBP would be brought up.


From the looks of it, it's the other way around. The OP asked a question and the guy answered.

This was his original post "its because Sony has a superior 2D platforming game, its called littlebigplanet" 

The response? First, people responded by saying sales = quality, therefore LBP was inferior. Then, people responded with meme gifs as if his opinion was absurd and not be taken seriously. Then, Samuship was the first to claim Mario was the superior game, so of course, Bananaking used more support with Metacritic scores (which he later edited in his first post).

After Bananaking responded to that post, it's been everyone jumping on him.
