Why do people continously bash Dante's Inferno for being a God of War clone? Just because it is unoriginal doesn't mean it deserves loads of criticism. Why is it that when a new FPS game is released, nobody ever bashes it for being a clone of Halo, Call of Duty, Killzone or whatever else. Yet as soon as Dante's Inferno shows up, everybody is screaming "what a shameless rip-off! How terrible! Shame on you, EA!".

If you played any FPS game within the past 2 weeks (apart from Doom or original Wolfenstein) youinstantly lose your ability to call Dante's Inferno a shameless rip-off because that FPS game you were just playing is a shameless rip-off previous FPS games.Call of Duty is a shameless rip-off from Medal of Honor. Section 8 is a shameless rip-off from Halo. Even in other genres, Forza is a shameless rip-off of Gran Tursimo. See what I did there? Apart from Spore, Wii Fitor DJ Hero, there are hardly that many "original" games nowadays, since everything has already been done before. Dante's Inferno is not original, but judging by the gameplay demo it looks like a real gem. And thats the most important part. I'd rather play a fun clone (Dante's Inferno) rather than an original game thats boring to play (Wii Fit). Agree? :)

You guys can lose sleep because Dante borrowed a few ideas from Kratos, but the rest of us will soon be enjoying a great game. Thanks for reading:)

They are brining nothing new to the table.

However, I am all for shameless rip-offs if they are fun to play. However, Dante's Inferno looks terrible, so it will be critizied heavily. If it was fun, it would not be. Look at Hevanly Sword? Good game, so everyone looked past that it was a GoW rip-off.

Dante's Inferno seems to be the definition of mediocre. The demo was not impressive and the low res textures everywhere didn't help.

So your saying that God of War should be the only game in its class, and no copmpetition is necessary? I say competition is needed. Darksiders and Dante's Inferno should hopefully do a good job with that :)

God of Wars compettiton is Ninja Giaden, Devil May Cry etc. Games that feel and play differently. Darksiders I think will flop, but I don't think its a clone. It looks far more original. Dante's Inferno is a clone, period. Its more of a shameless rip-off than Conan was.

Your (and AKUs = GoW hype and DI hate) logic does not add up. The gameplay, story, and framerate of DI are all good. Graphics are good too. It is not where near PS2 status like a few hyped up cows have claimed. What warrents the huge score difference?

Conan was really fun, even though it got 7.5-ish ratings. Darksiders is made by the same developers (Vigil) but Darksiders and Dante's Inferno look far more polished than Conan was. Should get much higher than 7.5, thats for sure :)

Are you not familiar with that turn of phrase? It mean I don't care, and I could care less than not caring, which means I really don't care.

60fps to be exact. Better than GoW.

The story is ok, the gore and sex are extraneous and just for teens, but the action is tight. The gameplay and music is what makes GoW great for me. I'm not overly impressed with the DI demo.

They will both be fantastic. One thing that's a fact is that DI's gameplay will be more Visceral, thanks to 60 FPS. ;)

Seriously? I played the demo and I loved it. At least 8.5 for me if not more. I don't care if it's a God of War clone, it was awesome! Plus I like the setting of the game. God of War has to deal with Greek history where as Dante's Inferno deals with the Crusades, based on Roman Catholic lore, which is more interesting to me.

I don't really care for Dante's Inferno, but I agree with everything you said about originality. People whine about how there is no innovation when it comes to the FPS genre, and it doesn't occur to them that no one is being innovative. RPG's, Racing, platformers, whatever it is, there has been little to no change to them at all for years. If you want originality, video games are the last place to look. Everything is a clone of something that happened years ago. And yet, people act as if this is a terrible thing. There have been fantastic games that are complete clones of others, and yet, people will look right by them, or say they like those games, and whine about originality all the same.

not saying that saying that DI will be a bad game or anything. But, your post clearly shows that you haven't actually played both games to know what people mean. The gameplay is pretty much EXACTLY the same. Stop trying to bring up all these pointless examples about how games borrow from other games. You don't really get it because I'm certain you haven't played both games to even be saying this. Every game you brought up saying that they borrow from each other has noticeable differences in gameplay. GoW and DI have the SAME gameplay.

The fact that DI and GOW have the same gameplay is what makes me feel so excited about it. How is it a bad thing if a game has the same gameplay as GoW (which was awesome)? Fun >>>>>> Originality

Why cant u just like both of them. Damn, I mean I will be getting both GOW 3 and DI. Why does there always have to be a comparison. Both are great hacknslash games.

Eh. God of War's okay, but we don't need clones of it.PannicAtack

I mean it is a clone right down to the same control scheme. I mean it isn't like UC2 and TR where one is is aimed at 3rd person shooting and the other at platforming by the controls and gameplay. It is a rip off with worst graphics.
