If you want to be a cynic why not just start pointing out that every FPS ever is just a Doom ripoff, and that Doom is just a first person ripoff of sidescrollers like Blackthrone and Duke Nukem, and then point out that they're just ripping off Pitfall, and then you can bring up how it totally ripped off Adventure, which was basically just Pong where you controlled the ball, and how Pong ripped off Ralph Baer's paddle ball game, which ripped off table tennis, which ripped off real tennis, which ripped off... I dunno... some rock throwing game.God of War uses a very similar formula to Devil May Cry, but they're both on Sony platforms so no one jumps to call it a ripoff. Just enjoy the damn games. Seriously. What's the point of "computer entertainment" if you just bitch about who took what from where. A good idea is a good idea, regardless of who did it first. Henry Ford invented the car, so should no one ever try making one? Wait, that seems ridiculous. Well, alright, there's your barometer. If it’s fun, who gives a damn what it rips off?
