More on Epic EAfail/Epic EA fanboy/fanmba suck

see? out here we're yearning for exalted games with depth and profundity. too bad the fanmbas at EA are dedicated to losing money via debauchery, desecration, and cheap marketing gimmicks.

The combat to Dante’s Inferno isn’t terrible, but it isn’t great either. It’s just another action game trying to be God of War. The story may be good if you could care less about the literary origins. The artwork goes from being generic to outright disturbing and disgusting. EA can use as much controversial marketing tactics as they wish, but there is a very small audience for this game. It will have its fans, most certainly, but weeks after this game has been released it will become forgotten.
Thank God.

Yes--EA's Fanboy/Fanmba Dante's Inferno Game Sucks: From Gamer's Daily News

http://www.gamersdailynews.com/article-2169-HandsOn-with-Dantes-Inferno.html

"What can be said for Dante’s Inferno? Well, it is definitely a complete rip-off of God of War, so it has that going for it. Oh, and it probably would have been better just to have made the game about a random crusader diving through the many layers of Hell and claiming inspiration to the literary classic. Now it just enrages anyone with an appreciation for those long forgotten “book” things your ancestors used to read. You know, back when paper was used by everyone and not just bureaucrats behind the times.

Truth be told the game wasn’t really all that thrilling. In fact, it was a little bit irritating and just a tad sickening. A number of buttons can be used for different attacks, yet somehow I always found myself pulling off the same combo that ended with me stabbing into the ground with a bone scythe. It felt like the only way to win was to simply button mash without any real plan in mind."

Dante's Inferno God of War Ripoff

From: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/10/dantes_inferno_game_has_shaky_understanding_of_lus.php

"Okay. I understand that the Dante's Inferno videogame has very little to do
with the classic literature. As a English lit nerd, I don't like it, but I
understand it. So rather than bitch about that, I'll bitch about how Dante's
Inferno looks like hell's biggest God of War rip-off. Okay, there are certainly
worse games to rip off, but I swear Dante has the exact same attacks as Kratos,
except when the swishes stop, he's holding a scythe instead of Kratos'
ridiculous yo-yo blades......oh.You're probably more upset about the giant lady
who shoots demon babies out of her nipples or the other evil lady with the
vagina on her stomach with its own hideous tongue tentacle, aren't you? Yeah,
those are bad too."

I've been very surprised how much negative press I've seen about this game; I've always thought it was a fairly good premise and an interesting setting. Who knew that there were that many people that really love Dante. "

I don't like this too much, either. My main reason: I *am* an English teacher, and I am now terrified about what I will see and hear in papers, discussions, and projects when we do Dante's Inferno. Not to mention the angry parents who think I'm talking about this game because they too did less than stellar in their English classes.Do all the crazy alien fantasy games/characters you want, but just stay away from our literature.
