Message: [QUOTE="dropsmegamega, post: 28575, member: 780"] I think one clear difference is intention. Let's not be innocent here: Lethal League is purposely made to look like Jet Set Radio. The character designs and music are made to instantly give you a Jet Set Radio vibe. While Sonic clearly wanted to be known as its own thing, with its own identity. PS2 era had plenty of 3D platformers for example, but Jak & Daxter, despite taking inspiration on Mario 64 clearly wanted to be known as its own brand. And Lethal League is still comparatively less derivative than the average indie, at least it doesn't instantly announce itself as an "spiritual sequel of" like 99% of then. It's not but when your art is derivative from the start is hard to believe you have anything to say at all. There is a reason most directors used to refuse directing the sequels to their films and why most series start decaying after some time. But at the end of the day, if you want to keep playing the same game forever, that's fine, what is being questioned here are all these claims that the indie scene is so creative and whatnot I agree with this in part, games like OFF and Space Funeral are fairly unique experiences and creative even if both made on rpgmaker. But I won't turn a blind eye on all these other games of the list that are clearly bait for people starved for a Earthbound-like. [/QUOTE]
