Why not compare LBP2 to NSMB?CarnageHeart

And I find it funny how people who bring up NSMBW so easily forget about DKCR. Which trounces all over LBP with a vengeance.foxhound_fox

LBP was fun because of the experience of playing with other people. It wasn't technically all that great though. SMG is the better platformer I say. Sorta like comparing ModNation to Mario Kart. MN is great for all the crazy tracks you can come up with, but Mario Kart has the better mechanics.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]Oh look..this thread again..... the correct comparison is LBP2 vs NSMBW. NOT SMG!!!! Shinobishyguy

so let's compare it to the weaker NSMB series to make it look better ;)

(and even then those game still school LBP in platforming mechanics)

The fact that this question needs to be asked is a sad commentary on the modern gaming culture.charizard1605

Well LBP isn't a 3D platformer it's a 2D platformer. And this is an anti-sony thread because for the most part Nintendo fanboys don't allow any other game to be better than their top tier Nintendo titles. No other game is even ALLOWED to be a better platformer. And hating on LBP just for being different is getting so old. I love the LBP game physics. If every game played like SMB it would be very boring so I'm glad that games like LBP exist. Nintendo fans on the other hand...need no other type of games...just one per genre and that's it.

That's not the thing, it just ain't fair to compare a platformer renowned for its platforming aspects to a game flowing with creativity from a passionate community with poor platforming aspects. Who the hell hates that game for being different, man, you get it all wrong sometimes.

This thread's comparison is all wrong, Lto_thaG, these games put emphasis on totally different things. It's like comparing the story aspect of a quality adventure game with a quality RPG. Both put emphasis on totally different things but intertwine at some, like a story. What game is going to put a ton of more attention to the story aspect? The adventure game, it's the closest thing to a book in gaming.

When it comes to the overall package LBP is better due to it's replayablility and online features, but any fan of platformers can tell you that NSMBW's platforming mechanics are miles better. The platforming sells that game, meanwhile LBP prides itself on it's online sharing features.

Why? How much customization does SMG have? compared to LBP. Mozelleple112

[QUOTE="CarnageHeart"]Why not compare LBP2 to NSMB?foxhound_fox

I agree LBP plays quite a bit differently than most platformers. I submit that if it hadn't been different, it wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is and it wouldn't inspire the venom it does from Mario fans (one doesn't see Super Meat Boy vs Super Mario threads).

2D platformers were once as popular as first person shooters are now, and like modern first person shooters, too many designers contented themselves with aping the bestselling games (everyone's now doing rpg style progression and killstreaks)rather than daring to do anything different. I suspect such timidty is part of the reason 2D platformers have declined so sharply in popularity.

If you think that every platformer should be like Mario, its perfectly reasonable for you to be content with NSMB and DKCR (both of which are praised for clinging to convention), but I tired of that formula a long time ago and even some who haven't tired of Mario (various creators have made Mario homages) are apparently anemable to the idea of something different. I like(d) Gran Turismo, but I never wanted every racing game to play exactly like it.

smg is the better platformer but i like lbp more

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]Do we need this?Lto_thaG

No.

Haha, I pre-empted your wrong answer with the power of editing!

Platform wise SMG definitely. But LBP has a very nice charm to it and is loads of fun. Super Mario 64 beats both though :).

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] Exactly, they can't be compared.... because pratically everyone know's the galaxy games are in an entirely different league,

so let's compare it to the weaker NSMB series to make it look better ;)

SMG is the only right answer.
