Arnold Katayev: "Electronic Arts shocked us when they announced they'd be putting out a videogame based on Dante Alighieri's "Inferno", which is actually an entry in a collection of books called The Divine Comedy. Granted, there is nothing comedic about Dante's Inferno, seeing as how this is basically Electronic Arts' very own God of War game, and that means tons of gore and demonic imagery. But don't be confused about Dante's Inferno, either, because the game is only loosely based on the book - as the story, while it pays homage to the original, also takes its own creative approach. One such example of that creativity is making the character of Beatrice Portinari Dante's love-interest in the game, this was not the case in the literature."
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
