Hell yes. (No Pun intended). Put this game on reserve.

Getting it next month when it comes out.

 

Discuss. (And due to the graphic content I cannot link).

This game is nothing but the developers choosing that for their next game, they had to take the most recognized part of one of the most legendary poems of all time and throw in some God of War style gameplay. As someone who desires to read the Divine Comedy, I am simply ashamed that anyone would do this. I may get it, but I shall stand by my opinion for now. I'm not one to be overly religious about stuff like this, but Dante Alighieri just has to be rolling in his grave.

 

Prior to Inferno's release' date=' in June 2009, a protest began during E3 2009 in San Diego to oppose the game. Around 20 protesters, claiming to be from a church in Ventura County, held up signs that called the game sacrilegious and labeled it possibly insensitive to peoples beliefs. Protesters even went as far as calling EA the anti-christ. This led to many people accusing EA of creating this as a marketing hoax to promote the game. A few days later, it was officially confirmed by EA spokesperson Tammy Scachter that they had hired people to protest the game and that there was no actual protest.

 

Later, in October 2009, it was announced that the game would include an Xbox 360 achievement and a PlayStation 3 trophy entitled "Bad Nanny", which rewards players for killing unbaptized infants. This sparked a conflict with the International Nanny Association (INA), in which they encouraged supporters to oppose the game. The INA claimed that the achievement is offensive to real nannies and that it also promotes real-life violence. In retaliation, the INA asked the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to omit the reward and elements of infant violence. The ESRB insisted that its role was merely to label products appropriately, not to censor them, so their request could not be met. Despite this, the INA is still boycotting the game with hopes of it being changed before release.

You guys are idiot's. Just because GoW is the best hack and slash game so far that doesn't make every other game a shameless rip-off. Yes they took inspiration but that's it.

 

Also Dante's Inferno is to the Divine Comedy as God of War is to Greek Mythology ie. besides the setting and the names and references there isn't that much in common. The game doesn't follow the poem religiously rather it's based on it.

 

ITT: Gay people.

That's not the point. I just don't want to spend about 60 bucks for a game that's pretty much a clone of GoW. I'm going to drop it anyways. >_>

I meant game wise. Not genre wise. I also use GoW as an example because it's well known.

 

And yeah, it does look like a GoW clone. Hack'n'slashes are all fun until you realize that's all they are.

Worlid in Conflict is a Red Alert clone. I also use Red Alert as an example because it's well known.

By that logic Call of Duty is a Halo clone.

 

...

 

OHMAIGAWD.

No, my logic says that a game that plays exactly like another game is a clone.

 

Sure, Dante's Inferno isn't an exact clone of GoW, but it's pretty much the same gameplay wise. My point is that I don't see why people are excited over it, if it's pretty much the same as GoW. Unless they actually care about the plot, but then they could just go and read the poem itself and guess what's getting changed.

funk you're an idiot. The genre is about hitting people with weapons and doing extreme sheet, just because God of war is famous doesn't mean every other game from the same genre is copying it because it came after that game.

 

Your saying Call of Duty is like Halo because even though you don't shot people in space you still shoot them making it the same gameplay wise.
