That's pretty bad...lol.

Well, I’ve got ZERO Greek blood in me, but I'm not arguing with you over the history of Greek Pantheon...I'm saying God Of War is like one of those "Based on a true stories" movies...I'm not judging how Good or Bad it is, just that they basically did what they wanted to do with it.  DI is basically taking “artistic liberties” with Divine Comedy, and I can certainly understand someone trying to complain about how closely it copies God Of War, but it’s a far stretch to say it somehow diverges totally from it’s source, as compared to God Of War…my question to you is how?  Also, you've judged the ENTIRE plot of the game based on the demo?

I think we should be positive about this because look at the brightside out of the the Major Publishers
EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Take Two.
Until recently EA has given the PS3 a lot of support.
Fifa game do better on PS3, they even said themselves maybe we made a mistake supporting PS3 so much yet they still do it. So I like them for that.

Did you ever read Inferno?

It's hard to explain the Divine Comedy to someone who never read it, because it's an enormously involved tale, but, here's the short version:

Dante's Inferno is a political Allegory following Dante himself... a fucking poet, as he strolls through the levels of hell making observations about the nature of religion and existence. The creatures he sees are nothing but metaphors for these observations. Beatrice, in the Divine Comedy, was nothing but his guide in the final part of the Comedy, Paradiso. Dante was certainly NOT a warrior, nor was he battling through hell and killing the Grim Reaper. For christ's sake Dante faints when they first cross the lake into the first level of hell.

The plot of Dante being some soldier who cheated on Beatrice and is chasing her soul into hell is pretty ridiculous, and there is no reason to turn a poem into a bloody action game. Hell they could have easily made an adventure game and actually kept the plot in tact and it would have been much better. What they did make was just a REALLY bad excuse to clone God of War.

DI is the ammo the 360 fans will use (for the most part) against GOW3 on the PS3's side, just like the Prototype vs InFamous (which just about every publication/site places InFamous above Prototype :) ). Will DI suck? Nah, it has some potential for a hack and slash. The visuals are not convincing at all though as GOW2 from the GOW collection looks as good, if not, better. GOW series has the fluidity this DI demo doesn't. Bayonetta is a different category to GOW, and tbh, no I didn't like Bayonetta (jap import), the story is mediocre at best and they tried wayyyyy too hard with the lead character (which has little personality to me). Yea Bayonetta was made by the guy behind a portion of the DMC series, BUT DMC3 wasn't made by him and that is the BEST DMC in the series. Bayonetta is DMC meets Viewtiful Joe. Good game imo yes, great game...no. Fast paced? yea it is, but I still prefer GOW2 over Bayo. My apologies if it pisses anyone off, it's just my views so I will not try to speak for everyone.

Since i didn't finish the demo, for obvious reasons. The only thing that i took out of the whole thing. Is that you are chasing some tits, and trying to get them back. At least in god of war you didn't have to work so hard for it. :)))))

@ Khuutra

Yep...I suffered thru it in both HS and College.

@ naznatips

I think we can fully agree on the extreme stretching involved in turning a mild mannered Poet into a raging God of War (you like that pun...huh), but I suspended my belief right around the time I heard about the and said to myself "...WTF...wasn't this guy a poet?..."  I just think anyone can judge the game, based on it's alignment to source material, especially when comparing it to Kratos fighting Zeus?!?!?!  We start slipping into the arguing on how World War Hulk can Beat Superman.  If you say DI is worst than God of War 1...I really can't debate that...I can say the demo looked okay to me, and I'll try it when it comes out...BTW...where is Hercules in God of War storyline?

BTW...I did some homework and watch youtube of God of War 3..yeah...Dante's Inferno is pretty much a blatant copy of it...but isn't that a good thing?

Then I don't see how the incongruity slips by you. Dante was damn near anemic, a person swept along on a hellstorm of circumstances that were beyond his control. He had very little agency in the whole thing.

It's a game...don't you think you're going a little too deep?  I'm still confused as to what the problem is here?

Oooh, but...Wolverine, Conan, Viking and a host of other games are very similiar as well...why didn't those cause as much of a stir amongst the God of War faithful?
