"Jonathon Knight and the team at Electronic Arts' Redwood Shores studio have a fight on their hands when it comes to persuading gamers that Dante's Inferno is anything other than a rip-off, and they know it. Or, at least, the team members we spoke to seemed so desperate to be taken seriously that that's the conclusion we were left with.
Gamers are, broadly speaking, a cynical lot and won't easily be tricked into thinking that "this is what Dante Alighieri would have wanted" no matter how insistent exec producer Jonathon Knight is. As gamers ourselves, that cynicism is something we share in and it's heightened by the knowledge that Dante wrote the Divine Trilogy as a way of exploring religious dogma and testifying his love for the real-life Beatrice Portinari. He definitely didn't write it so it could be adapted into a violent hack and slash videogame."
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
