So is 6.5 for Dante's Inferno a flop?

I was seriously expecting much more, like at least AA, the demo seemed fun enough to me anyway.

Why did it score low. Aside from being a clone was the strory bad or gameplay repeditive ?

I think general hype for it was AA. So, yeah, B is a flop.

Poor EA. Not a good time for the company to be putting out bad games.

I don't care. Loved the demo so I'm still getting it.

I don't know. I saw a couple of good ads on TV this weekend for it. It looks like a pretty cool game. I'll rent it and then make my decision. I'd be really surprised if it doesn't out sell the game PS3 fanboys claim it is copying (GOW3).

Not sure how it is copying it, two completely different settings, but whatever. Yeah it's similar gameplay wise, but so are other games. Hack and Slash is Hack and Slash. As a matter of fact the original GOW looks like it copied Castlevania, or Devil May Cry, but nobody cries about that.

Yes, but no one cares because it's not exclusive. SaltyMeatballs

Other than the control layout and the fact that its a Hack N Slash... exactly how is DI a rip off of GOW?

So any FPS that uses the same control scheme as Halo is automatically a Halo ripoff and therefore sucks?

Does the game use similar enemies/characters... the same levels? Anything the same except for button layout & genre?

If you think DI is a rip off of GOW... I wonder what you think of 3D Dot Heroes? They shamelessly ripped off Zelda, but for some reason the cows don't seem to care about that... hmmm.... funny how that works.

There is a major diff between homage and direct "copy and paste" game design. Anyone whose played GOW can see it.

Okami is an homage to LOZ. See the difference? 3D Dot heroes is an homage to the original LOZ, and the game design alone still makes it strikingly diff from the original game.

What am I a fanboy of exactly? Multiplats? No wait...you're right. I am a fanboy of games that bring something new to tried and true formulas. Like Bioshock did for the FPS or No More Heroes to the action adventure game. Or the unique weapons in Deep Space or the FPV in Mirror's Edge or hell even the stealth in Assassins Creed.

But what do I know? I'm just a silly fanboy of unique concepts and originality. Silly me.

[QUOTE="moistsandwich"]

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] 1. Camera angles. 2. Font style for combo announcements 3. Camera movement 4. His weapons even attack in a very similar manner 5. Everything else about the game. This isn't just borrowing play mechanics buddy. They just lifted stuff from GOW and stuffed it into their wannabe game. 3D Dot heroes isn't the same thing.

Nice try, I own a PS3 and the GoW Collection.... better luck next time.

LOL... are you calling GoW unique?

After GOW every game had quick time events and gigantic boss battles. The stuff Kratos does in those games always makes me wide eyed and shocked.

Of course, some were hyping it to kill God of War which would mean it would've had to score at least AAA. But I think the general hype surrounding it was AA, and didn't get anywhere near that either.

Im with Moistsandwhich, i really don't see why people keep moaning about it being a copy pasta 100 percent. All i see is they copied the combat scheme, am i alone on this one? Jeez, people talk like they took kratos and the other characters and enemies to hell.XxSTILL_BORNxX

For anyone who wants a fair insight on the game, check this out.

I feel the game was scored too lowly. GOW ripoff or not, from the demo I felt it would be a fun game.

I am getting both this and GOW 3.

I saw a commercial of Dante's Inferno during the superbowl. Surprisingly it was the only video game commercial during tha time. It's going to sell. It's got good marketing behind it.

I love first person shooters even though at the core they are all 'clones' of Doom and/or Wolfenstein. So, the fact that this is a clone of GOW gameplay-wise does not bother me. As I happen to dig the GOW gameplay system. Aside from that, the setting and subject matter of DI appeals to me. Looking forward to picking up my copy tomorrow. It is going to be a fun 'flop' for me.:)

I certainly hope cows aren't hyping that game and bashing DI for being a rip.. but it seems they are.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] Just like Prototype 360 fans try to use a multiplat to put down a PS3 exclusive. So I def. care especially when DI was such a blatant rip off. So glad to see it crash n burn. Espada12

Nice try? Go ahead and waste ur money on GOWannabe. I really don't care buddy. Yes GOW is unique. The epic scale of the game inspired many other games soon afterwards. Even the use of quick time events felt refreshing. Plus Kratos as a character and his storyline. Many of the games levels were just unbelievable and like nothing else I had seen at the same. Might not seem so exciting in GOW3 but when the first game came out it was amazing stuff. Hence why critics were so impressed and why the game became so iconic. Average crap doesn't stand out from the pack.

This is quite sig worthy, and god of war actually didn't do much for the AA genre as few games actually copied off of it (yes even in scale), D.I is the only noticeable one.
