    So, if any of you have ever played Secret of Evermore (didn't think so), there was a boss in it that you had to hit in the heart, which became exposed after his ribcage opened.

    Gears of War ripped this off, the only difference being that Secret of Evermore was 2D. I don't mean the basic boss mechanic was taken, the creature was ripped right from SoE, with its red coat taken away.

    I just felt like standing up and saying, "Hey, guess what? Epic isn't so creative after all."

    Not saying I regret getting Gears of War, but I think people give Epic too much credit.

    Hitting the weakpoint for massive damage was taken from Genji 2, silly.

    So, if any of you have ever played Mike Tyson's Punch Out (didn't think so), there was a boss in it that you had to hit in the stomach, which became exposed after you punched him in the face.

    <<<----  I can't seem to remember his name though....

    I think it'd be hilarious if you made a comment like "I regret getting Gears of War because the Corpser was lifted directly from Secret of Evermore."  The sheer outlandishness of the statement would send the forums into an uproar.

    How do you even know they did it on purpose. Plus, they don't even look similar. You shoot the corpser in the mouth for Pete's sake.

    The first Gears Of War stole/borrowed (whatever you like) pretty much a quarter of it's mechanics from RE4. And personally, I like Gears better. That's why the world is so wonderful, we can improve on each others ideas and make something beautiful.
