    I was referring to the combat being repetitive.

    For the second time now (third if you include the review), I reviewed the game on its own merits. Yes, I mentioned the similarity to GoW, but I certainly wouldn't knock the score down just because Dante's Inferno copied it.

    Please show me exactly where I implied that I didn't expect the game to be a work of fantasy.

    want finger bleed? go look at bayonetta
    Yeah, thanks hardcore gamer for assuming I'm a noob and have no idea how to build a character or use combos. My point (again, read the review) was that there's no great difference between the two.

    And that's exactly most of the game's problem: it tries to be provocative but it comes across as feeble and forced. I like the occasional boob as much as the next guy but I found the boobage in Dante's Inferno tried too hard to give some (unnecessary) gravitas.

    I find it funny too that you're quick to slam me for comparing the game to other titles, but you've used the same comparison tactic three times in one post. Ironic, much?

    Either way, the review is done and I'm sticking to my OPINION, as have a lot of other reviews who mirror my sentiments. Oh, and props to Wlad for giving his opinion without condescension or whining.

    The different Circles are varied visually and come equipped with slightly differing bad guys, although some are just way too over the top to the point of being laughable:

    <snip>

    Some environments are equally as ridiculous, such as the excessive Greed stage with awful golden rivers, or climbing walls made up of the damned who moan monotonously as Dante traverses them.
    read the poem? afaik know the rivers was like that and it's their interpertation not your personal, religious or nonreligious expectations of what you think hell should be in a "non silly way". hence i said it seems that you are not expecting something imaginary but more of a factious setting.

    i could easily say go and reply the game properly and you might notice that it does actually make a difference. taking for example further reach to grab the enemies and banish them helps a lot with the flying things. not to mention that 3 cross attack both deals dps with secondary effect of pushing the crowd back is good before just running head in. having the correct choices does make a difference.

    fail to see your point. that's totally open for debate and interpretation. sounded more like you wanted like a single salvo here and there like a horror fps.

Neither path really affects the gameplay to any great degree, and the lack of any remarkably innovative moves or combos (apart from the effective ‘Bash Square Until Fingers Bleed’) makes choosing one or the other a matter best left to a coin toss rather than one’s moral compass.

    actually not comparing dante but rather giving you examples from your replies as to my question what is not repetitive game and for a finger back rather go to bayonetta. learn to read. much ?

    ...in the end i'm merely conveying my point, but seems that one should not dare do not disagree with... THE WRITER .

    Disagree all you like. You're entitled to your opinion as much as you are to disagree with mine. Trying to provoke me though isn't going to get anyone very far. Be a grown-up and comment on the review ala Wlad rather than criticize the writer.

    Otherwise, I've said my piece about Dante's Inferno. IMHO, it deserves the rating I gave it. That is all.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to rub one out over some God of War 3 screenshots.

    sure buddy play the "grown up card" when not wanting to reply. this was hardly an attempt to provoke... commented directly on the review and the interpretation there of right there, but agree to disagree then.

    I don't get why people are at RustPuppet's throat. Save your raging for a game that's actually worth it.

    Has anyone even taken a quick peek at metacritic to see that most reviewers panned the game for similar reasons, he's not alone in his opinion.
