Dante's Inferno?

[sooper-man12]

Seriously? I don't really think the author would approve of this...  

[Paper Sonic]

This... is NOT how the Inferno was. The bodies weren't like that... Odysseus was in there for crying out loud and they were sorrowful and being tortured not attacking D=<
This doesn't have the right to use his name. It should just be called Inferno...  

[Sharkbutt The Orgiastic]

How amusing, I just started reading the Divine Comedy. It's for a class. We get to make a puppet show out of it. 3nodding
But, no, this has no right calling itself Dante's Inferno.  

[Waynebrizzle]

No s**t it's not like the book. There was no major fighting in the Inferno.

Dante would probably laugh his a** off if he ever saw this. One for the shallow storytelling that this game will most likely have, and two because of the sheer ridiculousness.

I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm just tired of games trying to get more attention or seem "deep" because it's based on a book.

So wait, is it based on the book, or based on Dante's view of Hell having seven circles? Why didn't they just call the game Seven Circles of the Inferno or something? That actually sounds cooler.  

[Keeskee]

Dante Alighieri seems like he had a good sense of humour. Hopefully he'd find this as funny as I do. ;P

Mind you, I was the only one in my class who found the Divine Comedy funny. ...Mainly because Dante the Pilgrim is such an uncomprehending t**t.

Perhaps they knew naming it this would cause controversy, which would get the game noticed more.  

[Skaeryll]

I can't really base an opinion on it yet since the trailer was very short and didn't really show anything.

He is, isn't he?

I didn't think of that, but you've got a good point.

Seriously. No wonder Virgil gets so impatient with him; honestly, he should've gone to Paradise- he's got the patience of a saint.

'So why can't I pity the damned?'
'Because the damned do not deserve your pity, Dante.'
'So... why can't I pity the damned?'
'Because God has made them the damned for a reason: That being their horrible sins. Therefore, they do not deserve pity, Dante.'
'Sooo... why can't I pity the damned?'

You're right- and you're very, very wrong.

In the Inferno, Virgil specifically avoids going near many of the pits because of the inhabitants- only in one part do they have cross through one, and there, they almost get mauled by the demons forcing the inhabitants under the boiling tar.

The only reason they do not attack or whatever is because they're monitored by demonic beings. It also depends on the crime: Of course the lustful aren't going to attack you.

But if they'd attempted to pass the Cereberus without permission, it would've attacked them- same with the Guardian of the minor sins. (Whose name I cannot remember for the life of me.)

Damn.

The idea that one guy can infiltrate and defeat anything in hell is just ridiculous. Don't you think its inhabitants would have tried that a while ago?

It's like God of War.

Hey what does Pandora's box do? Doesn't it release all of the world's fears?

hah, wrong. IT TURNS YOU GIANT

God of War kind of gets away with it because at least there were people that badass in Greek mythology. Still, Pandora's box? Come on.

Well in the story there was only one thing in Pandora's box after all of the sadness was released. That last thing was hope. It was hope that turned him into a giant if you wanna go by that, and that is even more ridiculous.
