Poor Mans God Of War

"Everyone has thought it, many others have said it, and I am here to elaborate on it. Dante's Inferno is a big ass rip off! Such a big rip off that I had to constantly remind myself that I wasn't replaying the God Of War 3 demo, when in fact I was playing Visceral Games' carbon copy, hack and slash debacle"

Considering most 360 owners can't afford another console, since God of War 3 will be good DI will be good thanks to God of War

great article

This topic is starting to get old, and really annoying. We know the games are extremely similar in terms of gameplay. We know...

Not that I've played the demo, but I'm still looking forward to it. There's no reason someone should enjoy God Of War III and not Dante's Inferno just because they are so similar - God Of War is a great franchise. If someone doesn't like Dante's Inferno that's fine -- don't buy the game, but I dont think it's a good argument to dislike it just because it's similar to another great game.

I have a feeling if Dante's Inferno was exclusive fanboys would be singing a new tone.

Still picking this game up day 1.

Or, it's a normal man's Dante's Inferno that just happens to be a bit similar to God of War.

Then it would still be a God of War 3 ripoff, I wouldn't support a game exclusive or not with such similar aspects of gameplay design and story its disrespectful to the developers at Santamonica studios who put their heart and soul into the game

I don't know why Dante's Inferno is the poor man's God of War if they will both cost 60 dollars when they are out.

ehh dude if the game is good, does it really mather if they copied god of war or not? :S if it does then see it like this: you're playing in an alternative world where you find out how Kratos his life would be if he was born in the medieval ages(or whatever age DI is set) i think that should fix the problem

Correct me if I'm wrong, but God of War III is $60 right? And Dante's Inferno is $60 too right? So is Dante's Inferno really made for poor people?

"Dante's Inferno is a God of War rip off!!"
"Darksiders is a God of War rip off!!"
"Quantum Theory is a Gears of War rip off!!"
"Metal of Honor modern combat is a Call of duty rip off, which rip off the original Metal of Honor!!!"
Its been said a million times, yet people seem to forget, Originality died long ago. Everything copies something else in someway, and if it truly was to the point that a developer felt plagiarized, they would take it to court, they don't need random people fighting their battles on internet forums.

Rip off or not! if the story is original and gameplay is good/enjoyable then no problem for me.

I'll admit that the gameplay is really similar, and basically it looks just like god of war, but I wouldn't go so far as to calling it a rip off. That would be like calling Killzone 2 a rip off of COD:MW, or basically any fps game is a rip off of another fps game. They're gameplay is basically the same thing. I still think Dante's Inferno is a great game (the demo at least).

You'll be hard pressed to find a purely original game this generation despite a few games.

like i said in my demo review, they are similar but only in the combo frenzy combat and the vengence story line with a loss of a love one, other than that Dante's Inferno is amazing, the story is epic and very intresting. God of War 3 is probally going to be twice as good as this but this game is still going to be pretty damn good. God of War didnt start this genre of action, it just made it hugely popular, as far as i know Devil May Cry perfected the system

Well guys you know what?

PS3 users can play God of War 3 AND Dante's Inferno!

Isn't it great that you are not forced to buy either one, but your PS3 comrades can still play them both!

I think that is great.

Morshu approves of what I said and he also approves the Game Boy!

What, did you create a new account just to post this? That article is garbage and sounds like the rantings of an immature child. Quite frankly I enjoyed that demo far more then the GoW demo and I thought both were good demos.

Especially since the coveted God of War that every seems to swear is the first and only hack n slash every created, basically lifted just about every aspect of the game from Rygar.

So, even though it's a good game, you won't buy it because it takes stuff from other games? Games can't be very innovative anymore because almost everything has been done. KZ2, for example, was very generic, but it was a great game

I don't get it either since they're comparing a PS3 game to another PS3 game, but maybe because of the overabundance of topics on this on SW they think this one should also be there?

Not true. There's still plenty of untapped, unimaginable innovation that could be done in gaming. Money just happens to be a heavy deterrent.

Meh, dont care for the button mashing gameplay of either. But Dante's Inferno has a better vibe even though the gameplay isnt as good.

I agree with you totally. I mean the timing is just hilarious with EA... they always steal ideas from leading games and make some carbon copy of it and release it right before the other game comes out.

I might get Dante's inferno later on though, because I am a fan of the book.
