Really, aren't they?
Sonic ripsoff Mario
Saints Row ripsoff GTA
Rockband ripsoff Guitar Hero
and now...
Microsoft ripsoff Nintendo with the new Avatars.
Aren't videogames all just ripoffs of past games, and those past games even bigger ripoffs of other games? I don't think it's really fair to the developers to mark down a game because it was slightly similar to another game.

Just because Mario and Sonic are both platform games,it doesn't mean it's a rip off.Most of the games around the time of these 2 were the same,just not as popular.

We rip off everything in real life too.
And besides, who gives a shit? It doubles the fun in most cases.

No, he's calling you an idiot for suggesting that all the games the OP stated should switched (Mario rips off Sonic, etc.).
If you look at it that way, then movies are even worse. You could claim that any action movie rips off an older action movie, or any romantic comedy rips off an older romantic comedy, since movies tend to follow very linear and traditional paths.
Sometimes there are games that definitely follow another game's idea. I think the best example you gave was Saints Row being similar to GTA. A sandbox game involving gangsters and exaggerated characters. But Sonic and Mario? Just because two games are a platformer doesn't make them the same game. Would you say Halo or Team Fortress rips off Goldeneye?
I wouldn't say Rock Band rips off Guitar Hero either, seeing as the company who created Rock Band are the creators of Guitar Hero. Plus, from how you look at things, both of those games ripped off Dance Dance Revolution, and probably a huge line of other rhythm games in Japan.
I've been refurbished and reissued, prepackaged and precooked, decontaminated and deloused, but I still smell, sound, look and feel like shit.
New to the video game forums?

No, just no. Unless you mean the party games... then yer but why would you even count them?
Saints Row ripsoff GTA
FAIL, GTA came first.
Rockband ripsoff Guitar Hero
FAIL, the people who made the original Guitar Hero make Rock Band.
Yes, my name is shit.. I would change it if I could.
Every FPS is a rip-off of Wolfinstein hur hur.
There's a difference between ripping off and being inspired by.

What is the point of having just ONE series monopolizing an entire genre...
Pretty lame if you ask me.
In that case, every creation in the genre of movies, games, novels, and other forms of storytelling is a rip-off of an earlier creation in that same genre that has similar archetypes.
DURR JAMES JOYCE'S "ULYSSES" IS A RIPOFF "THE ODYSSEY" DURR
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Are ripoffs really that bad? Sonic "Ripped Off" Mario but improved on what he did. Mario was slow. Sonic was fast. Mario was probably in his 20s, Sonic was young and hip. Rock Band "ripped off" Guitar Hero, and improved it. Guitar Hero had only a guitar, Rock Band had 4 instruments. The three ripoff examples you gave are actually improvements. (This may or may not be for Saints Row and GTA. I haven't played either)

No.
Sonic ripsoff Mario
Not really, actually when you look at the two, there completely different.
Saints Row ripsoff GTA
Never played Saints Row so I don't know.
Rockband ripsoff Guitar Hero
Rockband was made by the same people that made the first two guitar hero games if anything this should be switched around because of GH:WT.
and now...
Microsoft ripsoff Nintendo with the new Avatars.
Neither Microsoft nor Nintendo invented a system to create a character.
Can't tell if it's just the fact that I really hate you, that I'm disagreeing with you, or if you're just wrong.

Anyway, those games that were "Ripped off" were genre makers. Most of those practically MADE the genres, why? Because it worked, and everyone else wanted an engine that worked. Here comes a Zero Punctuation reference again.
"In a world of wooden sub-marines, someone makes a metal sub-marine, it works so well it becomes the norm, then someone comes by and says 'Oh, everyone is making sub-marines, I think I'll make one out of bread.'"

But to say Guitar Hero 3 ripped off Guitar Hero 2, different developers or not, is simply retarded.
I wouldn't really say Sonic ripped off Mario but Sonic was made to compete with Mario.

If that's true then Newgrounds is a rip off Ebaumsworld.
We had some good times, Newgrounds.

I never said that. I said that "if anything" Guitar Hero: World Tour, ripped off of Rock Band.

That's actually about as close as you're going to get, but the fact of the matter is that none of them actually rip off each other.
A genre is a genre, no one has the rights to make platformers, or music games, or open world thirdperson shooters.
I don't think people are understanding the point I was trying to make.
I wasn't saying that doing the same thing as another game is a bad thing. I was actually saying that most games copied other games, and not buying them because they are similar to this other game isn't fair to the developers.
