It's funny how idiots say that Uncharted 2 is only popular because it's a PS3 exclusive that has outstanding visuals so fanboys are hyping it. It makes me wonder whether these people have actually watched the incredible gameplay footage via Gametrailers.com. It's clear that it's being hyped and it's been popular because we haven't seen a game set the bar in terms of the entirety of graphics/animations/great characters/story/intense action all in one. It's not just fanboys, but it's everyone who knows a great game when they see it motion. Yet, people want to attribute the fascination with this game to 'fanboys'. How stupid and annoying. Get over yourself and just appreciate great games for what they are. In the 5 minute rooftop gameplay (the first time you watch it) that had more exciting action than you get out of playing a good game for an hour. The last game that really got a reaction out of me from what I did while playing was God of War II (those who have played it should understand what I mean. Think about the boss fight finishes/the scholar who Kratos made read, lol...)
Whoa, even the way he jumps and does certain moves is exactly the same as Kratos (Animations)

THANK YOU. Finally someone acknowledges with their eyes and based off experiences from playing GOW rather than talking out of their ass and saying stuff like "they are all hack n' slash games".
This thread demonstrates how truly stupid people on these forums can be. Please don't take offense and report me, but just continue reading what I have to say. I can't believe no one has elaborated on this, and you call yourself gamers? The comments I'm reading make it seem like you guys have not played any one of these games. The comments are very narrow-minded and don't offer any kind of insight on the games. First off, stop grouping DMC, Ninja Gaiden, and GOW together. GOW focuses on a large scale epic adventure and the gameplay is way more slowed down than Ninja Gaiden's and DMC (they are all hack n slash, but DMC and NG put much more emphasis on pure action/"coolness" and THE COMBAT IN NG AND DMC ARE FAST PACED AND MUCH DEEPER). In addition, in NG and DMC you play through individual areas and levels/chapters (this is more apparent in DMC where you get a score. This more arcade-like than God of War, which is an action/adventure game that focuses more on story). DI and GOW are much more comparable to each other than NG and DMC. This leads to my second point. For all of you who are saying something like, "there have been other hack n' slash games before God of War, so it's not a ripoff". Seriously? That's what you have to say about this? Do you think that maybe, JUST maybe it's possibly the reason that people are calling this game a GOW ripoff is because THE GAMEPLAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS GOD OF WAR! Take a look at the videos of Dante's Inferno. Dante moves and animates at the SAME SPEED as Kratos does. In the game, there are quick time events during the boss fights and quick time events against enemies (that have the same timing/occurrence), just like in God of War. You have light and heavy attacks, just like in God of War. His weapon is similar to Kratos's chains as they can extend out... DANTE EVEN HAS THE SAME ****ING DOUBLE JUMP AS KRATOS, LOL (those who have played God of War should know exactly what I mean!) As far as the gameplay, Visceral really should have tried to be more unique rather than just take the exact same gameplay. How can you people be this blind...? You really can't notice all of these things. It's basically like they put a skin over GOW and did their own thing as far as the story/characters/environments. Therefore, don't come to me with stupid **** like "well, genre's like FPS borrow from each other and ripoff each other all the time". Look, as far as gameplay, DI and GOW and more similar than Killzone 2 is to Call of Duty 4. It's more similar than Prototype is to Infamous. It's more similar than Forza 2 is to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Anyways, you can't really argue with anyting I say because I stated facts and I've actually played these games. If you're willing to disagree about the incredible amount of gameplay similarities between GOW and DI, you obviously haven't played God of War, lol. It's not really that hard to see. Some of the people who worked on God of War are actually producing Dante's Inferno, so it's understandable how the gameplay ended up being like that. With all that said, I do think Dante's Inferno is looking great and there's a chance that it ends up being better than God of War in someways. The people behind this game are talented and I have a good feeling that they will have some levels that's like nothing we've every seen in video gaming. Can't wait for both games.
