I'd consider Geometry Dash as being one of the best examples of a knockoff being far better and superior than the original. It's based on The Impossible Game but added so much more gameplay mechanics and an editor that made it last to this very day
@@bubbainc-k6upretty sure it's "dying" because people actually completed it and are currently waiting for the next update, the Palworld devs even support the idea of playing other games while waiting for their game to update
TheoTown isn't a knockoff of Cities Skyline. They're just both city-building games, and TheoTown is just hugely inspired by the old SimCity games. That doesn't make it a ripoff. Is Planet Coaster a ripoff? It's hugely inspired by the old Roller Coaster Tycoon games and they're both about building roller coasters. Is BattleBit a ripoff? It's hugely inspired by Battlefield. Just because a game is inspired by another one, it doesn't make that game a ripoff.

Fall Guys player count comparison is not accurate due to F2P players being only on EGS, while Steam gamers are OGs who bought the game back in the day, so that number will be much smaller.
While I don’t play it myself, Stumble Guys is also on mobile platforms allowing more access to players that would play the game I’m not sure if the mobile version came out first to cash in on Fall Guys’ success, then the Steam version coming later, but Stumble Guys really just gained its following due to being available more easily and it also somehow spawned a toyline
From a technical standpoint it is superior and i prefeer, just hated getting softlocked in the tutorial (The cop that is supposed to use Red Mode:tm: never does)
@@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 yeah, it’s sad that the game is a buggy mess now that it doesn’t receive regular updates (they also removed the venom gt which was my favorite car)
As someone who played both PG3D and PS3D, if I had to choose one to play over the other it'd had to be PS3D, sure the beginning of ps3d was a huge buggy mess and makes it look like a rushed version of pg3d but overtime it really improved in quality! Unlike pg3d, the devs listen to their players and actually update their games to the request of the fans, and it's genuinely a fun game to play if you're bored. Pg3d really fell off and I can't see me playing it again, wish is disappointing since I've been playing it since 2017.
i had to give them credits for being so original at the time. "it's easy to improve the existing idea than to make an idea." My Mom "...and if there's an improved version of said ideas but in another body, then whoever came up with that idea didn't very much listen to him" My father but yeah, Pixel Gun is straight trash. now it's a "we will match you based on your level. the amount of gold and exp tou can get per level are fixed (say in level 1, i can only get 100 gold before lvled up). and there are many armors and weapons you can choose to upgrade. You decided to upgrade your primary? okay, sadly, you won't be getting enough gold to upgrade your armor till and if you lvled up, you'll be left behind with either lack of armor or weapon damage"
Very true. This is worsened by the fact that there are high-tier weapons and armor that are miles better than whatever you have on hand that are locked behind a paywall that everyone always buys. Nowadays, you won't get very far into the game without breaking out your wallet.
I love how he uses steam charts to show fall guys' low player count even tho it's available on every other platform for free, and you can't even buy the game on steam anymore
I'd say that Cops and Robbers is also better than PG3D for 2 main reasons: 1. There's no egregious amount of stuff that you have to grind to pay for. In fact, the game actually rewards you for playing it. And with how much stuff you'll acquire when starting out, currency won't be a problem. 2. The amount of customization the game encourages. From weapons to maps to even the skins. There are hundreds of different custom-made things that the hardest part is trying to pick out your favorites. And if you don't see anything that you want, you can make it.
one more thing about stumble guys is that the game is insanely easy to play, like if you want get into a match in fall guys it would take up to 2 minutes but in stumble guys you can get into a match in just seconds
I wouldn't call Stumble Guys better than Fall Guys. With it's lack of quality, complete and obvious plaigarism (Creative = Workshop) and being owned by a company known for a casino game (Monopoly GO), it just got lucky that Mediatonic didn't really have the resources to keep the game at it's peak, wasn't free, and even with the Epic acquisition now, doesn't have the resources to keep up, purely because Epic is making a metaverse with Fortnite, and are using Mediatonic for that. Nontheless, Epic haven't shut the game down yet, something that they did with Fuser after acquring Harmonix, so we can't say that its a flop. It did loose 5m MAU though since the f2p launch, but still has around 13m MAU.
I wouldn’t call PixelStrike to be a clone/copy of PG3D, but rather a Cod/CounterStrike hybrid with a pixel art style, it tries to be more realistic and more competitive while Pixelgun tries to be more casual with its more simple movement and gunplay Pixel Strike really appeals to competitive players with its more rewarding grinding system and for even having a Prestige System, while Pixelgun is much better for playing a few matches then getting off I love both games, but PixelStrike is way more rewarding and fun long term, if I were a lower level in PG3D I wouldn’t even bother playing the game Great video by the way! Though PG3D and PS3D are a little too different in who they target and their overall gameplay in my opinion
Funfact: here are some other knockoffs better than the originals Hydrox Cookie < Oreo Flash Gordon < Star Wars Man who Laughs: Visage < Joker Chuck E. Cheese < Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria
Knockoffs arguably better than the original: Bad Business. It has A LOT of elements from COD and other modern shooters. However, this game puts you in a match immediately, has a map/gamemode voting system, does NOT take hundreds of gigabytes, does NOT have disbanding lobbies, and has ALL of the weapons unlockable just by playing the game.
I kinda disagree with piggy being better than granby but thats just an opinion, though there are granny mods that adds multiplayer or add new content to the game
@supporting_fox4057 yeah but I think piggy gameplay in my opinion is kinda worse. since there is no item physics you basically have to switch place with items you find which can be annoying and alot of back tracking (though I haven't played piggy in a while so idk if this mechanic is still is)
I can’t help but think piggy was never intended to be multiplayer. Imagine someone takes the red key and never puts it where it goes because either they genuinely have no idea OR refuse to use it as a means to hold the entire game hostage. Need I point to the traitor mode that gets picked notably more often than any of the alternatives?
You can’t just look at the steam charts for fall guys and compare it too stumble guys cuz fall guys is on multiple platforms and the game is no longer available on steam for the last 2 years if you actually gave a shit, also fall guys is and will always be the better game whether it’s more or less popular than stumble guys, which is a game that is Pay to win and has gambling which is horrible considering children also play the game. Maybe if you put some effort into your videos, you would know not too compare FG steam charts to stumble guys 💀
6:46 palworlds pals are based on Pokémon while the gameplay is based on ark and it’s so much better than both with og ark losing support for the remaster that’s not even able to run well on Xbox series X (which is sad) and the remaster taking away so much content and replacing it with p2w stuff it’s not even funny. And Pokémon well let’s just say it’s a buggy mess that’s been doing the same thing for years now just with less content due to dexit and taking away certain items so yay I guess? My point is palworld is a knockoff of multiple things yet does it so much better than all of its influences.
0:27 very wrong lmfao, if the game actually only had that many people finding a new match would take ages, (it currently takes 5-15 seconds) too bad epic doesn't show fall guys player counts like they do with fortnite
i cant believe pg3d fell off so hard (not rlly tbh it still has mehh amount of players) i tbh only play it just for fun or campaign (still on world 2, or 3)
Very true. The fact that you can even customize your weapons, armor, and skins makes it far better than PG3D. Sure, you'll hit a limit somewhere, but with the amount of achievements and rewards the game throws your way, it's pretty easy for new players to settle into the game without worrying about getting killed almost immediately.
Fall guys somehow managed to die twice ☠️
that says something lol
fall guys fell more than once 🐺🐺🐺
Went from fall guys to fell guys
Because of Epic Acquiring it. It got delisted from Steam after Epic Acquired it, just like Rocket League.
really putting the fall in fall guys
Wait until the knockoff of that knockoff is considered better then the knockoff of the original material, and then the cycle continues 💀
And then in the end, the original version of all of those knockoffs decided to be better
Ending the knockoff cycle
Pressure is a better knock off of Doors, which is a knock off of Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion.
I'd consider Geometry Dash as being one of the best examples of a knockoff being far better and superior than the original. It's based on The Impossible Game but added so much more gameplay mechanics and an editor that made it last to this very day

Cities skyline also have it's knock off know as Theotown. It is actually much more fun there than Cities skyline ironically.
Not really, I would compare TheoTown to the old Simcity games, also it's easier than Simcity and Cities: Skylines, it even has a workshop

Fall Guys player count comparison is not accurate due to F2P players being only on EGS, while Steam gamers are OGs who bought the game back in the day, so that number will be much smaller.
Also Skylines is spiritual successor, since SimCity is just abandoned by EA, so someone needed to fill the void.

Hey thanks for telling me about pixel strike 3d
Dusk. It’s based off of games like doom and quake, and in my opinion, it has better gameplay and weapons.
Why foes this have 839 and 81 comments is bro falling off?
5:07 How can Cities Skylines, a game that was made by the same studio as SimCity, and was meant to be a spiritual successor, be a knockoff of SimCity?
I already moved on to Pixel Strike 3D, I like it a lot. I've also played Smashy Road and its sequels.
I wouldn’t call PixelStrike to be a clone/copy of PG3D, but rather a Cod/CounterStrike hybrid with a pixel art style, it tries to be more realistic and more competitive while Pixelgun tries to be more casual with its more simple movement and gunplay
Pixel Strike really appeals to competitive players with its more rewarding grinding system and for even having a Prestige System, while Pixelgun is much better for playing a few matches then getting off

Basically it took things from older CODs and meshed them with other formulas.
