Great episode guys! Thanks, Scan! Also, Dante's Inferno fucking sucks and I loathed every minute I was playing the game. The ONLY good part I can remember was the battle against Dante's brother-in-law, the big knight templar guy. That battle actually required you to use the game's combat mechanics in a meaningful way to survive. Every other part of the game is bland, the level design is boring, the camera sucks half the time, the upgrades don't make you feel more powerful. I can go on. The game blows donkey balls, that's all there is to it. -------------------- |

The game blows donkey balls, that's all there is to it. I think the only reason why you're so grave with your opinion on Dante's Inferno is because you played Bayonetta fairly close to your experience with Dante's Inferno. It's similar to going out with a super hot girl then ending that relationship and not wanting to go out with a girl thats average looking cause you've still got the super hot girl in your mind. Also I've noticed that when renting games it's a lot easier to be critical of the game then when you buy it. In fact I think that because we buy the game we tend to sugar coat it because we don't want to feel like we wasted money. I.E. me and White Knight Chronicles. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty. They stood back to back as the galaxy burned - always brothers, never friends; traitors together unto the last." --an Excerpt from a Night Lords Novel Void Stalkers Chapter X: Revenge |

In fact I think that because we buy the game we tend to sugar coat it because we don't want to feel like we wasted money. I.E. me and White Knight Chronicles. Both valid points, I won't argue. I think not having a monetary tie to the game is a good thing when giving impressions though, because it does let you go "ok is this worth my TIME" rather then "well i spent 60 bones so i better make the MOST of it." You just can't fall into the "pirates trap" of playing the game for 15 mins then writing it off as shitty because it didn't hook you immediately. But I don't see that being an issue with any of us, we give games a fair shot, and I like to at least finish a game completely before I make my final judgement call. -------------------- |
