...KFR is not as fun gimmick-wise and not as solid as SMB (in my opinion), I decided to put it in my maybe pile because I prefer SMB, are we not allowed preferences within a genre? Do we have to like EVERY game that's in a somewhat similar gameplay style?
...Back to SMB and KFR though, they are not the same game or even THAT similar that you have to like both of them. They perform very differently and I much prefer SMB...
HOWEVER for arguments sake, lets say they were exactly the same and just reskinned, even if they were completely identical then I would choose SMB for the more like-able design, besides, why would I bother playing another game that's the same thing if that was the case?
If you're a big fan of KFR then good for you, I used to be a fan of the game Haze and everyone hated on that, so I understand what it's like seeing everyone around going 'nah don't like it' and being the only one sticking up for the game... Especially when some people honestly don't give it a chance...
But please remember just because someone doesn't want to play it passionately doesn't mean they just don't know what the game is, people are allowed to decide they don't like the game without it having to be down to 'oh you just don't know what it is...'I'm "making such a huge deal" about the comparison (I only wrote two small paragraphs on a page where I wrote essays about everything else) because people -especially gamers- often ignore similar things if they're not publicised enough. I quoted eight people who had specifically expressed an interest in SMB's gameplay and didn't say much, just said put your attention on KFR
alsoOf course you're allowed preferences, and of course you don't have to like every game, but I still don't think you answered the question of what makes them SO different. So... it's not as fun and not as solid? That's a fair opinion, but is that reason enough to dismiss it in such stark contrast? Even your favourite game and film makers make some which are not as fun or not as solid, but you don't always ignore them and go rewatch your one favourite instead.
A comparable situation (and I should really avoid metaphors but I can never resist) is someone pays one price and receive two similar cuts of meat on their plate (forgive me vegetarians, but we're talking about Super Meat Boy after all). Then their reaction is "I LOVE this one, I'm going to gobble it up. But I'm going to leave the smaller one entirely because it's a bit less prime."
I realise that time is a constraint, but just to try it doesn't seem like a big stretch. Even if you're someone who always wants to complete the trophy list it's less demanding by far.
If they were exactly the same... what? That has to be rhetorical. Why bother playing anything past your favourite level, or favourite entry in a series? Because you want more of the things you like, it's human nature.
Haze is a good example, and yeah, it's kind of like that. It's not that I'm the sole herald for this game, and as if it needs to be said I have nothing physical to gain nor lose from what you do and don't enjoy, but these games are given to you free together so I'm not convincing anyone to buy them, just trying to convince people who have expressed similar interests to try and find fun where they didn't realise it existed before.
Maybe you are an exception (munch had already proven that he is), that's fine. I didn't say anything specific to you either so I don't know why you seem to feel singled out (there was a laugh after that warning smiley in case that wasn't obviously a joke). Either way, play it or don't play it, it won't really affect me. But if I can bring this much-ignored game to the attention of half a dozen people who could end up enjoying it then I've done a good thing.
And let's be honest, most people had never even heard of this game before let alone knew what it was about, which hopefully now should make clear the meaning of my original words which I still stand by.

...take a look, you might be surprised...
I've got enough quotes here that I could've made a whole new post just for the number of people that judge PS+ games without knowing the first thing about them (nothing wrong with being excited for SMB but you ignored KFR is all I mean)
