The story stars Dante, a Christian soldier during the Crusades, as he attempts to rescue the soul of his lover Beatrice by descending past the nine circles of Hell for an encounter with the devil himself.
Armed with a scythe swiped from Death, Dante unleashes devastating combo attacks against an unusual array of enemies, such as blade-wielding babies and projectile-vomiting, gluttonous giants. Dante also uses Beatrice's Holy Cross for ranged strikes. Players can use the cross to absolve enemies for souls, which help them bolster the Cross, scythe and magic powers.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
Who knew?
lulz
ALL games are unoriginal. This isnt news, just a fanboy whos jelous of a game thats better than GOW3.
GOW 3 isnt original, and there isnt news about that.
