    Creepy as fuck.

    So After I beat Bayonetta I started Dante's inferno. I like that's it's Linar in the way alot of 16 bit Era games were or PS1 era games are (basically it's those games with a coat modern now gen paint) But....THE GAME IS FREAKY.

    Gluttony (where I am now) is the creepiest fucking thing I've ever seen in a video game.

    If you just played the Demo it does seem like a God of War Ripoff but the more I played it the less it seems like God of War and the more it seems like a PS1 game with Better Graphics (I can't in any way call this game Pretty)

    Anybody else agree? It's not a bad game but it's not going to be on any of my top ______ lists

    I'm not gonna lie, I really liked this game....and it is indeed very very creepy, compared to GoW at least.

    My brother Has played through Dante's Inferno like 3 or 4 times now. And I loved the Demo when I played it, the story is very strong.

    Yeah the story is one of the games good points. The Art direction too.

    It's just I wish there were less puzzles.

    And the game takes alot from Catholic Dogma with concepts like pergatory and unbaptized babies going to hell (IN Exodus there's a thing called Age of accountability that cancels that out)

    Exodus 30:10-14 (New American Standard Bible)

    10"Aaron shall (A)make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD."
    11The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,
    12"When you take (B)a census of the sons of Israel to number them, then each one of them shall give (C)a ransom for himself to the LORD, when you number them, so that there will be no plague among them when you number them.
    13"This is what everyone who is numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary ((D)the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a contribution to the LORD.
    14"Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, shall give the contribution to the LORD

    So "LIMBO" in the game would not be in actual hell.

    Yeah, My brother is knowledgeable about all that kind of stuff. And when i watch him play he starts going all Analytical on me and explaining everything lol Xp

    I might haggle him out of the game for a while so I can play it all the way through sometime.

    Only tried the demo. The demo didn't really do it for me. I think I've just grown tired of the whole thing where you mindlessly beat an enemy a thousand times with a giant weapon, waiting for it to finally split in half where the killing blow hits it.

    Still planning on picking up the game sometime later. Probably along with Dead Space 2 or something (which I will grab on launch)

    Didn't I read in some preview that the "Lust" boss is a naked woman who spits demon babies out of her boobs?

    I think GOW was never intended to be creepy. Violent yes, but not creepy.

    Yeah God of War NEVER creeped me out Dante's does.

    Anyone comparing Dante's to God of War hasn't played the game enough and doesn't know what they're talking about.

    I love me some God of War and Dante's is growing on me when the puzzles aren't pissing me the fuck off.
