How is Rock Band a rip-off if it is made by the same developer as Guitar Hero?
Kyle Scatliffe I completely agree, they sold the name to Activision, then went and made Rockband.
Same thing I said.
Because Watchmojo are kind of idiots who don't fact check.
Not to mention not dead since they're still selling dlc and are highly active on social media for their challenges. Sure not as popular but certainly not dead unlike GHtV that Activision had to give refunds to those who bought live within months of the online server closure. If anything GH jumping to band with World Tour ripped off Rock Band
Same thing to dantes inferno and god of war they are both made by Santa Monica studios.
To be fair though, NOVA was pretty fun. Especially NOVA 3
True
D3aThStrok3 yes
Nova 3 was super fun, but then I actually started playing good games
NOVA IS BEST UNDERATED FPS GAME
and yes underated not the BEST
Yh
Every mobile GameLoft release
lmao yes
That’s fucking true
So Sonic too?
How the fucks is asphalt a ripoff of halo it’s a racing game
@@fungusamongus9686 asphalt is rip off of nfs
Hey mom, can we get Halo
No, honey, we have Halo at home.
Halo at home: 0:37
Nova 3 is at least good
I liked nova on mobile
ForTheRepublic 1 alright mom it isn’t that bad
Dude this game was good so I’d say ur moms got some pretty good food in the house
FOR A MOBILE GAME ITS GOOD
Saints row had much more customization both player/vehicle options from crotch areas and making a custom semi truck cab
Right they’re just bullshiting when they talk about saints row
Saints row was not a rip off game also they was just inspired by gta even GTA is inspired by a lot of its "rip-offs" today
Did you mean sheath size?

😂😂😂 I have that game
Dante’s inferno was a gameplay rip off of GoW but that’s it, the rest was it’s own thing
I loved that game it was very interesting
Yeah I agree, Dante’s was more inspired in GoW than a Ripoff of it. Was it better than GoW, maybe not. Was it great? Hell yes, I think Dantes was a great time, I loved the story too
The rest is just a story. Obviously a story will be different, but the gameplay is all but GOW rip-off. Is not inspired, is a rip-off. Inspired will be like GOW to DMC. Sony wanted to prove that western creator can also create an action hack & slash game like DMC, so GOW was born, and the gameplay is not a DMC rip-off. Don't get me wrong, I love Dante's Inferno, but it is a rip-off of GOW. Story differences doesn't count coz this is video game, not movie.
@@shawziiz5031 Just because you can button mash, doesn't make the gameplay a GOW rip-off...
@@thedarkdojo5115 Dante's Inferno use the same attack style like GOW, the only different is the weapon, but how the weapon attack is exact similar to GOW, triangle 3 times for smashing the weapon, hold triangle to launch the character and then jump in slow-mo just like GOW. Hold square to do a rush slow-mo fiery attack, like GOW. L1 + square for special horizontal attack, just like GOW. L1 + triangle for special vertical attack, just like GOW. Press circle to execute the enemy, like GOW. Parry system work exactly like GOW. Dante can ride bigger enemies, just like Kratos in GOW. Boss fight has phase, winning each phase grant you health and magic orb, just like GOW. The magic system work like GOW. The magic slot place exactly like GOW. The fountain system work exactly like chest system in GOW.
There you go. Is not about button mashing here. Of course button mash doesn't make the game rip-off. This is about the whole pattern is the exact copy of other game. I know you try to deny it. You even comment to me on other thread like oh similar is not same, whatever. Suit yourself want to accept or not.
Rock band is a spiritual successor to Guitar Hero
So we’re just gonna ignore the fact that she farted in her combo in 10:35
yeah better ignore that
Yeah it's best ignoring this...
@@Man_im_dead- Duke Nukem 3D is just a parody of Doom since 3D Realms and Id Software were friends.
When most of the "original" games listed are ripoffs themselves. 😂
MicahXD the first two sky landers games were infinitely better.
Ya, he admires it width behaved sort if
@@ItsMicahDesu doesn't matter on your opinion, what matters is the date it came out on
From what I can tell, the majority of knockoffs here exist to fill a void. Mainly for mobile.
Honestly though now the Disney infinity figures are really cheap I recommend buying them if your a fan of certain movies cause they're actually really well made.
N.O.V.A,looks like Crysis with Halo gameplays
Candy crush is probably the best video game ripoff we got! Enough said.
yes, Ocean horn is exactly like Zelda, but there is no Zelda for Mobile and the game is actually very good
Unless you download an emulator app and play Zelda..
@@jamesvancam But, i need gud graphics.
@@TheElectreKid theres some emulators and phones with specs powerful enough to withstand DS and 3DS zelda games. Doing a quick search through your channel I see you play games that dont really beg for high quality graphics. For ex Minecraft..
@@TheElectreKid what about legend of zelda Twlight princess
@@jamesvancam I can't afford a powerful phone though.
13:59 You mean Dante from DMC? I'm pretty much sure the name Dante came from Dante Aligheiri himself which is portrayed as the main protagonist in Dante's Inferno
Exactly the game is based off the book Dante's inferno well I'm sure it was a book and it was an awesome game
@@BEAST_WITHIN_GAMING920 "The Divine comedy" is the english title. "Inferno" is just the first third of the book. (the two other parts are much less entertaining) also, if you read it, I recommend that you read an annotated version.
@@eldphm I don't really read not my thing but I knew I heard it was from a book and not a rip off that these guys try to state
N.O.V.A 3 was literally my whole childhood, and is the best game of all time. I used to play it for hours with my cousins.
I prefer Halo 3
Ive nit tried NOVA
Everett Haider same along with sonic dash angry birds
Interesting choice of childhood game...
Just stop.
Play it on tiny iPhone 4s
6:10 lol he just slaps him in the cheek and he oof
It is crazy that "The War Z" managed to Ripoff DayZ When severs shut down 2 years before DayZ launched
Hey, how about "Crossfire"
It's an absolute rip off with the Counter Strike Series
Don’t forget CS Neo, wait hold on, all counterstrike named stuff are registered by valve meanwhile for crossfire, no valve register. Looks like they used the GoldSrc engine to make it worse.

Isnt indiana jones a rip off of the original monuments men?
Rip N.O.V.A 3
2012-2017
@Venom Snake gameloft removed it.
@@cupheadsboyfriend615 install them all a russians' apk site
*laughs at Disney Infinity being a rip off*
IT’S JUST A TOYS TO LIFE GAME, HAAAAAA-
What about Dauntless being a bad rip off of Monster Hunter.
And Fortnite. Pretty much everything made by Epic Games is a rip off.
William Garrett i thought dauntless was pretty fun
Fun or not its still a cheep rip off.
Yeah i guess, I just think it deserves some love for being a good enough game
It's not a rip off just the same concept like god eater
20 slots and no mention of Fortnite ripping off PUBG.
*everyone
Fortnite literally rips off everyone. See the mech thats ripped from Halo 4 and Titanfall.
Isnt fortnite and pubg made by the same devs? Lol
REGENTPOK'emaster4230 Ulysse I think they are. Different developers but same company under Tencent(Chinese company). If I’m wrong correct me.
@@dlazyace9116 oh, they are. They are both under tencent and are both under epic games and unreal engine
12:13 more Mario why
You could make this video with only Gameloft rip-offs. That's the only thing they do.
That's the only thing mobile game industry does
Well , at coincidence they are at the top when in making mobile games but shit , Gameloft is like EA , greedy af , its all about pay to win
This should be called “biggest copycats in gaming history” or something. Most of these games are just cheaper alternatives, and if that’s what you’re looking for is it really a rip off ?
....yes??
I think that's the definition of rip-off lol
They don't mean ripping off players, but ripping off the design of other games.
@@J4kuZZi Skylanders is Gauntlet Legends but with Skylanders characters while Disney Infinity is spiritual successor to Toy Story 3: The Video Game.
I hate to be a smart ass but Rock Band is 10 times better than Guitar Hero because of customization
And Rocksmith is a hundred times better than both of them, because it requires actual talent in music.
How is that being a smart ass? It's your opinion.
Adam Hovey don’t forget guitar hero has ripped off the drums and full band aspect from rockband
I liked Customization in both games except for GH Live and Rock Band 4.
Plus, it's an extension of the original, because Activision didn't want Harmonix to extend Guitar Hero.
Speaking of Legend of zelda rip-off what happened to "tunic" it was announced on last year E3. I did want that (I still do)
Play 3d dot game Heroes in stead, that's also zelda. Kind of
Yes!
Fox Link is so cute!
And his world looks so great!
Four years after Mario came out?
But SMB1 came out in 1985, while the Great Gianna Sisters came out in 86/87.
Me: clicks on video and curious
Video:This is mojo-
Me: clicks off asap
For GTA ripoffs, the mobile "Gangstar" series are pretty good
Blades 500 the best ones are gangstar vegas and rio
Yea I personally enjoyed rio
Nah
Me: Seed Halo and Gamelofts Nova series..
Also me: WOW really?
N.O.V.A is a gem ❤️
Nova was my childhood
Temple Run is a rip-off of Pepsiman
Pepsiman!!! "Proceeeds to bump into a car jumping as high on the screen"
4:43
...ok first off, what the hell would you think that Disney Infinity is a rip-off of Skylanders?
It's unlike that game. Skylanders is a light hearted dungeon crawler by leveling up while Disney Infinity is a adventure creation game. You don't even get to make your own worlds in Skylanders and it's STILL not a thing in Imaginators! So they are COMPLETELY unlike! Get your crap together. 🤦♂️
I have nova on my phone and it's awesome. One of my favorite free phone shooters. Good campaign and co op
That music from Giana Sisters is basically the soundtrack to my childhood :-)
Not gonna lie castleminer Z was fun
I totally agree 👍
Yeah it was amazing
Facts
So true
i thought disney infinity was kinda fun doe
Yeah but it was so much money just to do things
Oceanhorn is pretty cool, and it’s similarity to Wind Waker is certainly not a secret either
I had forgotten about Farmville....so thanks for that...
13:50 Thanks. Now i have to waste 5 hours of my life watching the full gameplay because it looks amazing
that awkward moment when pokemon go is just a reskined previous game
Disney infinity was really fun and is legit my childhood lol, but yes I do agree I think they where tying to cash in on the "toys to life thing"
I played the hell out of Simpsons Road Rage. It's was Crazy Taxi but less frenetic, allowed you to drive for longer, had progression and unlockables and the Simpsons' iconic locations and characters, who had funny dialogues.
Castle miner z was honestly a huge part of my childhood, played the shit out of that game.
Hell yeah it was! Loved that game
Was it the zombie Minecraft?
Honestly, people who cannot afford any console or Xbox can play similar games in their phones. So there is no reason to criticise that they are fully bad. (Only phone games)
I can afford if i gotta steal or rob a bank or some shit
Bejeweled is a true hero. I mean , a big company copied Their game and became one of the best games in the world shamelessly.
Even after that they managed to make a game even more famous and better than candy crush. That's some inspiration we need.
Make a biopic about the creator already
Love how it says rockband failed, yet they are still adding songs to the game on a regular basis 😂
Killer Instinct may an MK knock off but it's actually a good one
U might as well say almost every side scroller fighting game is a rip off of MK
Not really seeing as how the original Street Fighter, for example, was released before MK for the NES.
Killer Instinct is not a rip-off of MK, rather it was inspired by both MK and SF. That why the game succeed. They not copy paste, unlike Tattoo Assassins, Fighter History, Art of Fighting, who just a straight copy of MK and SF. Hell MK has so many rip-off compare to SF actually. You can just search here on youtube about game that try to clone MK.
It still a rip-off. Just not a direct rip-off. And that's why it Killer Instinct works.
@@Codmaniac91 Rip-off mean completely copy and paste. If it change stuff a bit, that inspired. Like God of War to Devil May Cry...yea whatever
What about Bubsy 1 and 2 based on the Sonic The Hedgehog series?
Castle Miner and Castle Miner Z was the shit. I still play Z to this day, it's still fun as hell
I thought that Nova was just another game, and friends said it was Halo. I was suprised in the end that it was.
Hard part was that now I can’t tell which is which.
Y'all really gonna say Rockband is a RIP OFF?.. I'm Guitar Hero, but this is just a game.
The existance of black ops 4
I’m shocked that Modern Combat isn’t on this list, especially with Nova being on the list.
Man I loved that “Toys to life” boom. I was a huge fan of both Skylanders and Disney Infinity and have a pretty big collection of those figures.
you forgot to put Mobile legends in this video
base on League of Legends
the dev even got sued by Riot after they make That shitty trash Game with many Rip Off from other game
Pierre Buie II
Yup
When the game first came out
They have many character rip off from other game
Tutorial Girl copy DVA Overwatch
Splash art Po Kungfu Panda, Pudge Dota
Map copy LOL
They even Copy Nero and name it Dante, also Monster Hunter with Charge Blade and the Gear ,Ashe LOL, and Marcopolo from King of glory,Black Rock shooter Anime
Last year they even Copy Assasin creed Quote "we work in the Dark to serve the light",How to Train Dragon and Ultron from Marvel
@@goodgood7622 you do realize that most MOBAS took inspirations from other Games and Medias.
@@h.knight
Inspiration my Ass
The Dev to Lazy
Many Character they Rip off and Copy
And people in 2019 still using that word "mAnY mObA bla bla bla inspiration"
Moonton: "hipity hipitu your property is mine"
Inspiration from LOL
But,got sued by Riot
How can you say that inspiration
If they got sued and Reworked/Revamp all character even the map and skin
Well now they copy some heroes skill from league of legend
But you cant compare their matchmaking system
I love the saints row series. No matter wut u say about it, I just love them
What about 4Gat out of hell
sad that they decided to leave such a well built game and lore at 3 and then turned into the abomination it is now
Yeah a lot of people see it as a knock off or just think it’s dumb because the new games are the only popular ones.
Anyone else thinking of *Harvest Moon* on Nintendo GameBoy back in the 90's, when it comes to farming games? :P
I played N.O.V.A in my smartphone.
Not gonna lie, it was lots of fun and i enjoyed it.
Although that the Multi-player experience reminded me about Halo but the game was awesome.
Thank you for creating this video.
Keep going.
:)
Rock Band isn't remotely a rip-off....also it's a billion times better than Guitar Hero.
I could care less about both of them
@Australia Gaming Theater Kinda like the Skylanders series haven't heard a new game come out
@Australia Gaming Theater did you hear humor's of PlayStation all Stars 2 like ACTIVISION was going to give smash crash
@Australia Gaming Theater I really want it to happen I want the game to be better and actually add Dante in game
@Australia Gaming Theater I know it still hurts but if the game does come it better good and have options to turn off hazards and items so it can become completive and so I suck at all fighting game's
If Disney infiniti is a rip off. So that means nintendo's amibos are rip off too
FIGHTER'S HISTORY was definitely slower gameplay than Street Fighter 2, but it was a fun game to play in the arcade!! FEILIN was my favorite character!!😄😄😄
To be fair to Disney, it was more about making your own toy playsets than leveling up your characters. not to mention the idea about making your own toy box had existed in a licensed version of Toy Story 3 back in 2010 BEFORE Skylanders was made.
How to loose all respect for a RUclips channel in 1 video.
You pretty much summed up how I feel about this channel
Yeah
Have you heard of “Brawlhalla” :)
Twomity yup
If I’m not mistaken, Oceanhorn first appeared as a demo for the original PlayStation.
I'm surprised Bubsy didn't make the list
Well some of them are actually good like Dantes inferno I played it on psp, it's not a god of war clone game mechanics are not similar. Nowadays is nothing original anymore.
Dante's inferno weapon combo is similar to Kratos weapon combo. The magic system is the same like GOW magic system. The magic slot is the same like magic slot in GOW3. The parry system is the same like GOW parry system. The button configuration for attack is similar to GOW button configuration. The fountain system is the same like chest system in GOW. It is a rip-off, clone of GOW. Don't get me wrong, I love Dante's Inferno but there's no deny here it was a complete copy of GOW. The only different is the storyline..that all.
@@shawziiz5031 Way to miss the point...
Edit: Similar doesn't necessarily mean the same...
@@thedarkdojo5115 Hey there, yea just comment on you on other thread. You clearly in deny about this. Suit yourself.
I liked Dante's inferno.
I'm channeling my inner Angry Joe when i say FOUR HOURS to respawn?
Also I know the first title I'm about to go into had one come out on the ps2 era consoles. but one game that was awesome was gun fair which red dead redemption took a lot of inspiration from gun. where red dead revolver was basically a 3rd person shooter gun brought the wild west idea to an open world about 3 or 4 years before rockstar did.
What about Mobile Legends being a rip off of LOL and DOTA 2
Had NOVA. impeccable graphics for a phone
I was about to go to bed at the end but then I saw and heard the zombie at the end now I can’t sleep without getting that off my mind
Castle miners was my game back in the Xbox 360 days
Look I haven’t watched the video yet but damn, how tf you gonna call N.O.V.A. a rip-off? That was the best damn mobile shooter out there, it and Infinity Blade are the best mobile games and they haven’t made anything to top them since 😤
N.O.V.A and modern combat was like Halo and Call of Duty but a mobile version and will be best bcuz these games completed my childhood :)
Still a ripoff
Well....technically its a rip off. A fun rip off to be precise. Its like paying homage to Halo.
It was still a ripoff of halo even if it was good halo combat evolved came before Nova
I feel like they dont understand what "ripoff" means...
Castleminer (2011)
Minecraft (2011)
Me: *Confused on the same year*
maybe the video is titled wrong as I expected it to be things like the multiplayer pass which required people to buy the new game rather than a preowned one. or things like expensive collector editions that just come with digital content which eventually be useless when the game is no longer supported/playable.
What about Super Mario Maker ripping off Little Big Planet? Come on MojoPlays quit being biased!
You mad lad 😝
@@Keith_Norman Nope I'm stating a fact.
@@MaximMicheal20 Never said you were wrong
I will agree, they are very similar
Well little big planet ripped off moding
Change my mind
Yeah I remember when Disney Infinity started back in 2013, I could smell the Skylanders ripoff from miles away!
Now I get that Skylanders inspired the Toys to Life genre. When a gaming genre begins it seems unique at first until other entries are made, which doesn't necessarily make them ripoffs. For example, saying Nintendo's Amiibos are a ripoff of Skylanders is like saying Duke Nukem was a ripoff of Doom (trying to give an example of when the FPS genre was in its starting years long before it expanded. I think you get what I'm trying to say here right?)
But yeah Disney Infinity just had way too many obvious similarities to justify. At least Amiibos had some originality and were designed for multiple Nintendo games/franchises (not to mention Amiibos are also the only Toys to Life line that still continues to this very day, while the rest seem to be dying out), but the same can't be said for Disney Infinity. I mean, it even has the frickin Portal Platform that you put the toys on to sync with the game! Gee, where did they get that idea from? Even Amiibos didn't do that! (Though fun fact, they did once do a crossover with Skylanders in Superchargers where Bowser and Donkey Kong made guest star appearances as half Skylander/Amiibo hybrid figures!)... Okay I know Lego Dimensions had a Portal like that too, but even that had more of a uniquely creative aspect as you could actually build the Portal however you want via being made of Lego! At least they tried something different, unlike Disney Infinity. I honestly think it should've been a little higher on this list, but that's just me.
But at least Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale was kinda fun when it was first released, and it got a cult following.
Nova was actually kinda fun
Who's here's after the PS5 game leaked PlayStation All-Stars arena
What about Dark Souls, a ripoff version of Severance: Blade of Darkness.
no one ever heard of that shit lol
yea but minecraft is also a ripoff
As long as they add more viability , unique mechanic and better creativity than the OG than its not a rip off
Dark souls is garbage
In my childhood whenever I was able to defeat clown in Fighter History! man that was a great game.
Does any one know the name of that song on part 2:16 am running from u from rock band the game
I know that their not talking about my saints row
Mutant Gaming ikr they better shut up about my childhood game

Mutant Gaming same bro same in 2024 we gonna be able too play emulators on android phones at 60 FPS at least 50 maybe😂 ima be playing saints row 4 and smash bro’s brawl
Saints row is garbage
Saints row 2 s better than gta 3 and vice city.
Oh no u got it wrong boi , Gta sa and vice city IS BETTER than SR , but issa opinion of yours
Night Hawk those two may be better but saints row is definitely better than all the other games, I still think saints row is better than all gta games but I see where you’re coming from.
Ocean horn also looks good!
They need to make a co-op option!
And play as both boys and girls!
Show off more variety then Zelda!
Hey, I liked Rock Band! What other game lets you fill an entire band, and play drums?! I probably played them as much as I played guitar 🥁
What idiots would even think for a second that Nova game was a new mobile halo? There are actual mobile halo games that look way better.
Can you give a
The link to them pls
Is this RippOff Good or Not!!! Seems Legal Copy with More Features than the Original One 😀😁😂
“Pump It Up” franchise is a rip-off of “Dance Dance Revolution” franchise and both are still going on even to this day. Both use the dance pad to play the game even if they are different. Konami filed the law suit against Andamiro (creator of Pump It Up franchise)
