The story has really captured me from the demo. Can't wait to rent this.

What a joke, I can't remember a game in recent memory which has been so blatant in it's rip off-ary.
It's as if they were given a tick box of all the things that God of War has and tried to match it.All sewn into a story of revenge...in the fucking Crusades!! Christ! (lol)

All except they forgot to actually take the gameplay element that God of War, perhaps one of the best examples of an easy to get into hack and slash I've played. They got so much right in that game which was further improved by it's sequal.
The main thing is, it had an element of bloody variation in it's attacks. This is only a demo, I am pretty sure that there will be further moves unlocked but even God of War, with it's chain spam on a non powered up Kratos you could do more shit. All I saw on this was whooshing, whizzing and some bodies flying off the screen. Felt like there was no impact with your attacks. Fucking rubbish.
Taking even the powered up fool, it's just a mess of animation so fast, that even with 60fps it's all missed. It doesn't matter what you press, shit dies you keep pressing buttons. Boss battle against Death or whoever was bogus as well. Block, Block, attack, attack, attack, get hit, block and repeat. Then do the same, while he is aireborne but add a jump in the guide typed up above.
They've tried to be clever and add their own twist or re-imagining of the Crusades like SCEA did with Greek mythology. Only it doesn't work as well as the Crusades actually fucking happened and this is just some twat writer who had to came up with a pitch for a game during his lunch break. I don't know whether this is actually offensive or is just fucking stupid. Christian vs Muslims: Battle for Jerusalem 1096!!
It's just crass. The whole sewing the cross into his own chest! He has gone through the crusades facing much adversity, yet can't go find a fucking shirt to sew it on? Went so far with this it's laughable and not even remotely "cool". Then just insert tits into every other cutscene so it's not overdone...
If this is coming out at the same time as Bayonetta, and this gets more sales and praises. I'll quit playing games. It's not gonna happen though, so I'm safe. ;;;
Fuck this game.
Edit
These guys made Dead Space!?!?! Shame they couldn't add or tinker with this genre enough to make it good instead of sending it back 10 years and then some.
They may as well have. They almost literally raped a great story instead. I wonder what they'll do for an encore.ultim8p00 said:Did Visceral rape your mother?

The combat is just too stiff.
I might rent it in the Winter (Summer for you Northern Hemisphere folk).

I was reading the Amazon description for PS3 DI and noticed this:
Particularly the bolded one. DLC already confirmed?
I wonder if this is saying that by buying the PS3 Divine Edition, you get this piece of paid DLC for free. I don't see this in the description for the 360 version.

Just when you thought EA's advertising campaign for this game had hit its lowest, most stupid point, they roll this thing out. No pun intended.

Monocle said:I am not a fan of this game. Help me understand the appeal, GAF.
In the demo, Dante's attacks are repetitive and the controls feel unresponsive. The gameplay seems worse than that of any other mainstream action game from this gen, and many from the previous. Why do people like the combat when there are so many better alternatives? How is the art design appealing? I've watched every dev diary on XBL and I have yet to say to myself, "That's a cool interpretation of that [creature/character/place]." Everything looks plain, or ugly in a bad way.
I want to like Dante's Inferno because it belongs to a genre I love and it's based on the Divine Comedy. What does this game have to offer besides a title borrowed from a literary classic?
He's sewing a cross on his chest because he wants to repent for all the terrible things he did in the Crusades. He wants that punishment as a permanent reminder for him. Also, agreed that getting stabbed by a noob in the back is the lamest way to go. Better way to go is in a hail of spears and arrows surrounded by saracens. Whats even lamer is how he beats up Death and takes his scythe. We know its a game, but C'mon. Atleast put some thought into it!KGKK said::lol :lol
THought he was suppose to be badass hence why he is sewing a cross on his body for no particular reason.
It seems to me that Dante's Inferno's inspiration must be considered in any balanced evaluation of the game. It's an adaptation, after all. EA's marketing belabors the connection at every opportunity. I like the idea, at least. One of the Devil May Cry series' minor pleasures is its references to The Divine Comedy. Shouldn't it hold that a whole game based on one of the poem's books would be something to look forward to?KGKK said:I would not place your interest in it due to it being inspired by The Divine Comedy.
However, I would give the team the benefit of the doubt as they made Dead Space. Dead Space is one of my favourite games this gen that came out of nowhere. Before the release though, it got a lot of hate(including from myself) for looking generic and boring or simply like a RE4 clone in space.
Also from the videos where they preview the seven circles of hell levels, the game seems to have some amazing set-pieces.
Oh, that reminds me. The corpse tits are a really crass bit of business. What's the deal there?Crunched said:Boobies.
DavidDayton said:Wait... Dante defeats Death...
...
I mean, ignoring everything ELSE wrong with this game, "Death" isn't an evil force. Why would it be fighting against Dante???
Darklord said:Because he gets stabbed and Death wants to take him. Dante's tells him to get fucked. Battle ensures.
DavidDayton said:...
That's even more patently absurd than the stupidity already seen in the game.
Darklord said:It's a game. An action game. If your looking for logic and sense don't play the game with the guy fighting his way through hell.
StevePharma said:Exactly, if you want logic in your action game you could simply play Bayonetta.

Being a GoW rip-off is gonna hurt it
Rated-Rsuperstar said:I don't understand this logic. Why is being similar to one of the best action series out there a bad thing. Call of duty is an fps and so is Halo. That doesn't stop people from buying either. And it's not like the GoW template is over done. There's God of war, Conan, and that's pretty much it.
Ponn01 said:Tell that to the Castlevania series. I mean really, come on, you find it out of place to fight Death in a video game??
Seriously, people are really going out of their way to hate this game. I wouldn't say its going to be as good as GOW III but its really not as bad as people are nitpicking the hell out of it. If you don't have a PS3 this is looking like a good game to fill that GOW void on the Xbox 360.
It hurts it because its not original. That definitely counts for something, dont ya think?Rated-Rsuperstar said:I don't understand this logic.

Relaxed Muscle said:Belmonts and the other protagonist of the castlevania series are or either powerful humans/vampires that controls magic, have sacred powers, equiped with armors infused with powers and armed with holy/demoniac powerful weapons,that somewhat made sense they can kill a demon being like death, some unknown crusader that was just stabbed in the back by some stupid ass, beating death with just a common lance, make no sense whatsoever.
Yes, is an over the top action game, but at least be consistent.
For the record I don't think the game is bad, is terrible deriative, uninspired, stupid and destroys a classic book.But the core gameplay it isn't that bad, and actually I think it could be a good game.The problem is I can't see anyone getting this over Bayonetta or GOW3....
