So your saying... If Sony released a game just like GOW2 that was equal in quality you would think it was inferior to GOW2 because it had something new.  That's all i'm asking.

Since your only complaint this thread was "they didn't try anything new."

Nope. My complaint is that they shamelessly ripped off God of War's combat system. Its SO similar.

Only the game is supposed to be repetitive, has mediocre voice acting, repetetive and lacks the huge scale that God of War has.

If they were a bit original in their approach to the combat system, it would have been better.

no these are all your assumption that if it was called god of war it would have got a better score.The weapon is fukin slow and lame(hammer thing) in the game.that's one big no no in god of war genre.

nothing about it even outshines god of war 1 and 2 let alone 3.

so you are just assuming without even playing the game.

wasn't dead space called a resident evil rip off and it still got 89 on meta(better than RE5)??it got the score becasue despite being a copy it out shined RE in some aspects  but not dante's inferno.

It's not really an assumption.  It's basic consumer science.

The God of War brand has value wouldn't you say?

Yes, that's my point... exactly.

Your main complaint is "It's not from Sony."

It has nothing to do with the combat system... but who UTILIZED the combat system.

not as much as resident evil franchise.dead space over came that brand name....why???( I know why i just want you to tell me whjy all of a sudden reviewers are harsh on dante and not on dead space)

Wrong answer...read the second line of the previous post... You're accusing me of being a fanboy..

Well for one... I didn't hear too many people compairing the games.  Not like DI and GOW anyway.

It used the same over the shoulder gameplay but the setting being in space and aliens vs zombies... was much more distant then Greek/christian things.

It did a lot different from RE4.

Two... different brands hold different amounts of value.  Just because you have the better brand doesn't mean your DEFINITLY going to come out on top... however it is going to negativly impact you.

Also finally.  RE5 used an annoying co-op almost needed mode with an AI buddy.  AI buddys are bad even compaired to the worst players... hence the issues with RE5.  Also while fun games... RE5 weren't exactly master storytellers with amazing dialgoue or anything and Deadspace was seen to have improved on that.

Not that GOW is masterful storytelling or dialogue... it's just fairly servicible.... though I'm sure DI is also fairly servicable and not making huge strides.

No, i'm accusing you of having a misconception based on branding.  It's not a matter of being a Fanboy.

This happens to 90% of the world.  It's why consumer marketers are paid so damn much.

The "second line" is all stuff that can be effected by the "first line" and considering you were calling this before anyone had played the game it's fairly obvious that your conclusion came from the "first line."

RE and dead space had different setting but their mechanism was pretty simillar butttt dead space improved the mechanism (walking while aiming,better/scarier setting,..)

dante doesn't do anything better than god of war.it's slower(main weapon sucks ass), graphics are not that great for its time,not as epic in scale .in conclusion it's a good game but it doesnot touch god of war let alone outshinig it.hence all of revieweres mentioned that it was worse than god fo war.not all reviewwrs can not become god of war fanboys all of a sudden.they are just expressing the truth.
