I say whatever..... Darksiders, Dantes Inferno and GOW 3 all copied DMC and no one complained. If you play all 3 everything down to the mechanics is a rip off. All of those games have very little that they brought to the table let alone stealing old religious stories from DMC as well.

But GoW perfected the genre and remains at the top of the genre's ladder. The combos aren't that deep until you fully upgrade your weapons, yes..but the puzzles, the story, the epicness of it all and the overall presentation is so much better, imo. GoW is a better complete package.

Like my other replay, I believe Bayonetta has the best combat system yet in the genre, but God of War is improving(evolving) in it's own way so it's good as well.


GOW didn't perfect the Genre....it's just a really good game. Perfection is subjective really, but besides that GOW took everything from DMC...besides lets see...adding brute strength and adding heavy cinematic kills. I almost forgot the last one, so i'll add it now....instead of using the myths from Christianity, GOW used a dead religion. GOW stole everything down to the mechanics of DMC....and as I said...no one complained.

 

lolwut ? Greek Mythology isn't a religion...and Christianity and Greek mythology cannot be a copy...That is just absurd.

I suppose DMC has puzzles better than GoW, Combat system with Golden Fleece Parrying, Sections such as Flying sections with Icaras wings, Wall climbing, platforming,QTEs etc.

GoW is original enough.

By perfected the genre, I mean that it pushed the genre to the very best.. 94,93 and 94 for the 3 main games on meta backs this up. What I'm saying is that being inspired by another game is fine if your goal is to improve on the formula, which GoW has done from DMC. DI is the opposite.


Greek Mythology was a religion...but it is a dead religon. The greeks adopted Christianity much like the Romans did. GOW is by no means original....it just has enough to stand as a name. I recently bought the GOW collection for the PS3 and until I bought them I thought GOW was a glorified cinematic. I am impressed with the all around presentation of the game. It does seem to work on what DMC lacked but in truth man that was mainly cinematics, brute strength and scale. I preordered 3 as well. I've played this, darksiders and Dantes Inferno. Dantes Inferno did rip off GOW but just changed the religion...but in that respect they all stole from DMC and no one said a word.
