Many do not see connection between story, soul, & $$$$$$$$!!
It is sad to see your schoolmarmish "can't do"/"mustn't do"/"father EA knows best" attitudes.

It is like you're walking around like a Nun witha ruler coming down on the desk of anyone who takes their eye off the board; only on the board the are not exalting Beatirce, but they are stripping her naked & trying to sell her boobies to the fanboyz who arent's buying it as tehy are seeking their true fathers (THE GREAT BOOKS & CLASSICS) & losing tens of billions; and yet you spend all your time hating on me who is only trying to exalt the industry in a novel manner allowing interactive entertainment to reach its higher glory, via ideas, which acted or not acted upon, have varying consequences; as virtue is ideals rendered in action (Aristotle) and all wealth derives from virtue (Socrates).

Many of you do not see the connection between story, soul, ideals, & $$$$$$$$!!

Many of you also exalt not in seeking truth via dialogue, but in playing little games, making up fake prior art, banning, locking, and censoring, mashing buttons to get your way; even through the greater riches are to be found in epic, exalted Truth; and not in little highjinx moves.

Story is the soul of the work--the events which show what happens to those who serve ideals and the moral premise, and those who do not.

Here we just had an opportunity to exalt Dante's Inferno in any one of a myriad number of ways exalting story, soul, and eternity; but instead they replaced the sense of Divine Justice and classical precepts with a neither-here-nor-there, absolve/damn gameplay hijinx.

Check out EA's Market Cap:

http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&c ... RTS&ntsp=0

Since around when EA started working on the game, EA's market cap has plummeted aby about $10 billion!!!

EA has been spending millions on the highjinxy/offensive/peurile marketing of a game which desecrates Dante's original exalted work, strips his beloved Beatrice naked, throws her into hell, and then tries to sell her b00bies to the fanboyz mashing buttons in their single-mom's basement. .... and it ain't working!!

It's as if John Riccitiello's & Jonathan Knight used their opportunity to lose millions and billions to recreate classical art in their own debauched, soulless, story-free image.

They had an epic chance to exalt art, videogames, profundity, women, Dante, poetry, the classics, a franchise, and EA's market cap; and instead they desecrated GoW, Dante's Inferno, and lost millions/billions of dollars.

They created far more debt than wealth in both the cultural and business sense.

Over at the yahoo stock boards someone writes, "If Inferno performs as well as I'm expecting at retail, which is to say dismally, shareholders will tally yet another strike against the failing leadership of ERTS. With any luck, this will expedite conclusive changes and get the stock price moving upwards once again."

Someone else writes, "DANTE INFERNO 6.5 ...OUCH!!! EA DOES IT AGAIN....SHORT! SHORT!"

TELETEXT GAME CENTRAL: 5/10: The works of both Dante Alighieri and David Jaffe are defiled in this shallow and puerile actioner & NYT: "gross misrepresentation" of Dante.

Dante's Inferno:

IGN: 7.5/10
Gamespot: 6.5/10

Bioshock 2
IGN: 9.1/10
Playstation Mag: 5/5

Bioshock respects story. Dante's Inferno doesn't.

Go ahead and mash some buttons & delete this & lose out in billions more. Lozllzlz!
