@ 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?

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?

Because those games didn't rip off GoW in every way, shape, and form

Gameplay is pretty bland, but the setting and cutscenes are amazing.

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.

 

glad to see that someone else on this board has read the devine comedy and thinks the games adaptation is very poor and cheesy.

Dante first and formost was not a warrior from the crusades, he is the poet.

he was trying to find his way to paradice. the Roman poet Virgil some one dante looked up to guides him through hell. Beatrice was dantes ideal women but she guides him through hevean.

 

the game really shouldnt be called Dante's inferno, its just discrasing the poem and making it really cheesy trying to make it "epic"

 

also i dont know why people are comparing Bay to DI. Compare DI with GOW and Bay with DMC. no offence to DI and GOW lovers, the gameplay/ combat system in those games dont came near as hardcore or as in depth as DMC and Bay.

WOW, GOW has just as much depth as Bayo (yes, imported) and DMC. FYI, so far i've beaten every DMC on Dante must die, the hardest of all is the ORIGINAL DMC3 who's Dante must die mode had the highest difficulty in the series. They all have equal combat/gameplay depth  based on how you play them (can't speak for DI since I only played the demo). I found GOW much more enjoyable and was truly able to expand more and more on the combat system, especially when being forced to adapt on the harder modes (especially in GOW2). You want to REALLY talk about combat depth? GOW is comparable to both the games you mention, yet Viewtiful Joe takes the cake on combat depth. For everyone loving Bayo's creator and talkin about "well it's a clone because he made the DMC series", here's reality, DMC3 which he wasn't involved in was the best in the series hands down.

ok i see what your saying, i agree with some of your comments but just because you beat DMD doesnt mean anything. also the dmd on dm3 = dmd on dmc3 SE and...many can argue which dmd is truly the hardest dmc1 or dmc3. i'm with you though dmc3 dmd is the hardest.

about the bayo comment, i've already said that dmc3 was the best in the series and that it wasnt created by Mikami (acually i really seem dislike Bayo lol its a fun game but it seems really really stupid. but thats another argument and of coursed besed on a demo)

i dont want to get into an arguement but i still stand at what i said, GOW has nothing on DMC and Ninja gaiden in terms of gameplay. GOW is indeed fun but i find dmc and NG alot more intuitive. I will have to see what Bayo offers, most likely a dmc like experence....but i'll have to suffer from its perverted antics, lame character and story. *sign*

For the 360 owners only that have never tried GOW and dont understand why ppl call this a GOW rip off trying playing GOW series first b4 going "OMG GOW on steroids!!"


I own both a PS2 and GOW 1 and 2. Neither game is the best of it's genre. And I have finished both. They are good games with flaws. DI does it better. GOW 3? We shall see. But already GOW 3 loses in the setting department.

I disagree.  DI has worse gameplay, already seen that it has worse graphics than GoW3, and finally while I think that the cutscenes have a cooler style in DI, the overall feel of the game's story as well as the setting that it's set in has to go again to GoW3.

edit: based on what I've played in the demos I would summise that DI will be a High 7 or low 8 game at best, and GoW3 will be of similar quality to the previous God of Wars and will probably end up a high 8 or low 9.  That would be my prediction anyway

Can you elaborate. GOW faults and how DI does it better. I just don't see it.
