I just played the demo for Dante's Inferno on Xbox Live. It was really fun, seemed a lot like God of War, but it worked.
It was fun, the cinematics looked good, the voice actor can really show some emotion in that demo and some of the trailers I've seen.
So far, it looks like an awesome game to me, anybody else have any thoughts?

[Daerog]

Well, the poem was pretty good and the things Dante could think of for Hell were quite.... twisted, I guess.



I don't know much about the game other than The Divine Comedy, the trailers, and the demo.

Haven't played it but I like what I have seen of it.

Would prefer a PC version but the Xbox360 will suffice.

It's a bit like God of War lite, but it IS still fun (judging from the demo, of course). *Demo Spoilers!!!* I don't really understand why some many people have been like ZOMG BOOBIEZ! It's not like anything is over-sexed...his wife was raped then killed (hence the boobie), and I don't think a spirit has much use for clothes (hence the double boobies).



@Obtusifolius: I think I'll be reading it this year in English. I'm hoping it's enjoyable, but I'm a little wary of the medieval Italian to modern English translation.

Lucky. I'm doing an English degree and the only decent authors I've done over the past three years have been Milan Kundera, Shakespeare, Chaucer and Dickens. Oh, and George Eliot. Now I sound like I'm boasting <_<

No, you sound perfectly un-boast-y. I agree with you on all counts, minus Dickens. I don't know...I just....despise him. Hated "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Great Expectations". From what my teachers have said, if I hate those, I hate everything else he's ever written. I have since begone a process of bleaching him from my brain.

(Also, I'm a Senior in High-School. All this talk of degrees is making me cry...I still don't have a major chosen, and I already have a scholarship from ASU!)

Anyway, I'm sure the translation will be fine... although translating verse from one language to another so that it still sounds half-decent must be hard.

Yeah, it always sounds...forced. For the most part, it seems unavoidable.

It's the sort of book that, unless I'm forced to (you know, by my teachers), I'll end up never reading.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Paradise Lost is another one I'd like to read, but I'm so lazy these days when it comes to reading, it is quite pathetic

I'm going to read Paradise Lost as well. I'm ready for my one point increase in speech!

Hm, funnily enough I have read neither of those. I'm not a massive Dickens-humper...

It would be SO easy to manipulate that phrase for my nefarious deeds...

Just choose something half-decent, honestly. I am supposed to be good at English, but my God this course is so ****ing boring I could cry sometimes. However, if you are (unlike me) a semi-functioning, productive, motivated human being, then you will do fine with whatever degree you choose. [/quote]

Sometimes I wish I was bad at stuff, so it would be an easier choice...Yeah, I know that sounds egomaniacal, but it's kind of true...(Well, I'm bad at Chemistry, but that hardly narrows it down. )

You want to know what I base my module choices on? Whether they involve a presentation of any kind. If they do, then there is no chance I'm going to do them.

Very sad, I know

Heh, just like my sister (who is also in college).

And I am very sorry but I did not get the reference (although I am very awesome nonetheless)

Fallout 3. Good stuff.


Bah, sometimes I wonder if I'm a "college guy". I wish I was born one generation earlier, in a time when it was possible to make good money without a bachelor's.

[AshedMan]

I just played through the demo but it wasn't my cup of tea. It was way too button mashy.

You know what, I like it when people admit they are good at stuff. Flase modesty really pisses me off.

Heh...For a moment there, I though "flase" was some kind of fancy French word.

Hm, not that keen on Fallout 3... I did play it for around 100 hours and made precisely no progress through the story (I'm the sort of person who has to uncover every corner of the map, and in the end those subways just got too much for me).

You know, Fallout 3 was pretty weird for me, too. I would play for a week, get pissed off, and resign myself to punching small children in the face. Strangely, I kept going back. Then trophies were introduced. Horrificly, they didn't make them retroactive, so I pretty much raged through my neighborhood, killing everyone who crossed my path. At least, that's what I would have done if I were less sane.

And trust me, degrees have never been more useless (I say 'trust me', but what I am saying is probably bull****) 

The problem is...ASU is all like, "Yo dawg, you got pretty OK grades! Here's $7,500 a year." How the hell do I turn that down knowing that a gajillion other people would nevereverevereverever get that chance? Having a conscious is really sinking my ship...

*Ahem*

Anyway, Dante's Inferno DOES feel quite button-mashy when compared to God of War. It's like playing Dynasty Warriors, but your less badass, and you can only play as one guy.

In before pseudo-literature buffs march in and:

"Dante's Inferno is blasphemy, a bastardization of a great literary piece of work and a disgrace to Dante's masterpiece!"

In before:

"LOL God of War clone, suxxx"

A bastardization of the poem? Really? That seems sad to say. It's based off the poem, sure, but I don't think it's brutalizing it that much. God of War clone, big deal, why not go with a gameplay that works? Most shooters are the same, but not much complaining done. God of War pretty much bastardized Greek mythology, but I don't remember too many complaints, it was still entertaining.

The demo is amazing! I love the music and that Demon at the end? Full of awesome! I like how when you breathe fire, stamp or swipe at enemies you make that really cool growl or snarl.

[AshedMan]

I liked the Bayonetta demo better. They are both button mashers but Bayonetta seemed to have more combos and better scripted encounters.
