Probably one of the best God of War clones ever made. It's a shame we may never get the sequel.

micdagoat192122d ago

Iv'e wanted a sequal all these years ever since I beat it.

annoyedgamer2122d ago

They shut down the studio that made it after Dead Space 3.

CanadianTurtle2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

Dante's inferno was a great game. But I wouldn't say it's the best GoW clone. That would be Castlevania:Lords of Shadow. Now that game had it all. I'd say it was almost on-par with GoW3. Anyone who's a fan of GoW and hasn't played Castlevania:LoS, you're doing yourself a dis-service.

darthv722122d ago

Well luckily for you I never said "the best" but instead I said "one of the best". Meaning it is one of many that fit into that category. LoS is good too but seeing as this piece is about Dante's Inferno then that is why I said it.

Einhander19712122d ago

God yes been waiting for a sequel absolutely love this game.

CanadianTurtle2122d ago

I don't know how they'd do a sequel since it's based on the books. And from what I remember, the books that came after Inferno don't take place in hell. :/

marioJP872122d ago

Man, they need to stop playing and make a part 2 already.

web10172122d ago

It was a mistake for them to not try to bring this to pc. I am sure people would have tried this game which could have increased their sales.

CanadianTurtle2122d ago

I don't know if sales on the PC would've even helped by much. The game had massive marketing already (even a superbowl commercial). I remember reading somehwere that EA wasn't too pleased about the game not living up to their target sales. It was a really good game, don't get me wrong. But the truth was that it had way too much competition. Especially since GoW3 was releasing literally 3 weeks after Dante's Inferno

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake223d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga223d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx223d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga222d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9223d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler223d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666223d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52223d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott222d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara212d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52222d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner222d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52222d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster223d ago

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.

-Foxtrot223d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster222d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned223d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9223d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1223d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster222d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds566d ago (Edited 566d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno566d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya566d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020566d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds566d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya566d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman566d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran566d ago

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.
