In short, this is one of the most pathetic threads I've seen in a long time. First off, if this isn't some petty fanboy defense, why don't we have this discussion on every 'flawed' game? There's plenty of them out there. Second, even if oneself truly believes that DI is nothing but a GoW ripoff, why is this necessarily a bad thing? So... people get more God of War... yeah, WTF is the big deal? I don't get it... Where I come from, more=better. I suggest instead of complaining about 'which mechanics from where!?' people simply play games and enjoy what they're given. Personally, I like having more western hack n' slash available. I think it helps to level out all these Japaneses games that I don't like such as Bayonetta. This thread, is more of a response to selnor's claim that an imitation is on steroids compared to the original. And yes , I am a God of war fanboy. I posted my impressions on the game, which pales in comparision because it tries too hard to imitate a franchise COMPLETELY while failing to live up to its standards. In short, Dante's Inferno is bringing about its own downfall by trying to compete with an epic franchise by doing the EXACT same thing. Darksiders or Bayonetta doesn't rip off GoW such as this and I would buy those 2 games before I buy Dante's Inferno. If DI innovates in a certain area, I will definitely buy it because of its potentially awesome story (but Dante sounds pretty horrible). I wanted to like this game, but it was a let down because it was nothing but a re-skinned God of War with less fun combat. If you're looking for Wetern hack 'n slashes, get Darksiders which is getting pretty good reviews. But come on man, we ALL know how slenor is   DI shouldn't be thrown under the bus simply to further a fan agenda. Let the games come out and enjoy em both. Anyway, that's just my take on this matter...

My opinion is that DI sucks and theres nothing you can do about it.

Except maybe abduct me with your fellow Pataponian warriors and torture me into saying otherwise.

Yeah, that was quite pathetic lol. Even my brother who don't play video games noticed it, and remarked that Death isn't supposed to behave like that.

The cut scenes weren't lame! They were the best part of the demo.

The cutscenes suffer from the same problem that plagued Final Fantasy VII's FMVs; the style isn't consistent.  The cutscenes in DI switch from CGI to animated while FFVII switched from using in game models to realistically proportioned characters.

Bayonetta vs GoW 3 is up for discussion that one i agree on.

but i fail to see how anyone can claim that dantes inferno demo is better than GoW 3 demo...Dantes inferno is just a poor imitation without soul. It's not that fun to play, it doesnt look good and its seems to focuse more on boobs than the actual story..

Agreed. While Bayonetta is great, Dante's Inferno demo looks average to me. Boring fights and stupid bosses...

And come on, Death pleading for life ? Seriously... There's an unintended comical effect with this boss...

I guess that's what happens when you want too much to be over the top.

I can't believe some people would even think of comparing DI demo to GOW3 demo...lol!

Now, Bayonetta and GOW3 should be the one to compare even though the ps3 version of bayonetta looks inferior. =]

Yeah he sure did

CGI was brilliant, but the transition to animated cutscenes was kinda lame.
