yeah, when you name extreme differences, you either know you're being extreme for the sake of making an idiotic point, or you are, in fact, an idiot.

those games aren't completley dissimilar. they have similarities. social aspects, rpg elements, gear, increasing difficulty, etc..

and even if two games are VERY Different, you can still draw comparisons. replay value, multiplayer, fun-factor.

so get of your high horses. you're just being closed-minded.

"How can you compare apple to oranges?"

They're both fruits, weigh roughly the same weight, are spherical, and they both come from trees.

"Riding a bike is the same as driving a car?"

Both are used on the road, are a mode of transportation, have wheels, and for the most part need someone to operate them. Not technically the "same" but this is comparing, not making an exact congruent.

"Watching a movie is the same as flipping thru a picture book?"

Movies and books are used as a form of entertainment, both utilize the eyes. Once again, not the same, but we're only comparing here.

How do you compare super mario bros to bf3?

Both are video games, you can jump, kill enemies, there are seperate maps as you progress/regress throughout the game. Oh yeah they're both multiplayer as well!

Who are you calling small-minded? :O
Almost anything can be compared in some form or another, as well as contrasted.
It seems like this is a matter of convergent/divergent thinking... oh how the educational system failed you, n4g... :(
