Ya, pretty much what I got out of it. This was my first hack and slasher, so I had no point of reference. But it definately didn't feel like the best thing I've played.
Granted, it was still fun as hell once my brain got put back in and i started speccing scythe. I spent an hour doing the last challenge in fraud, and enjoyed every minute of it.
Now the six hours of Lucifer...that was a bit brain frying. But oooooh sooooo satisfying XD
edit: Also, the story was actually pretty damn good, and since I"m not a huge hack/slasher guy, that scored bigger points with me than it should've.

"So what the fuck does being tossed around by the wind have to do with Lust, Mr Alighieri"
I believe 'tossed' is the operative word in the sentence
And since this is probably the first and last time I will ever comment, I'm going to be incredibly presumtive and recommend a game to a game reviewer *shock/horror* Tear it apart if you must, but at least take a look. Machinarium [http://machinarium.net]

So when exactly DID the gaming world decide there would be one game that was the staple of an entire genre whie all other games of that particular type are just trying to be major "rip offs" of it? I'm a bit over this attitude lately...
No not every hack 'n' slash is trying to be God of War.
No not every FPS is trying to be Halo.
No not every cover system thinks it's from Gears of War.
Seriously, God of War wasn't even the first of it's kind
Anyway, I didn't enjoy this vid. I think Dante's Inferno could be the most underrated game to come out so far in 2010.

As far as straw man tactics go I've seen a lot better than that. The two games may be of the same genre but the similarities pretty much end there for the most part. And let's not forget that story and characters are important parts to factor in too. And a key word here is "seems". It would be nice if you could reserve passing judgement until after the game has actually been released and has had a chance to prove it's worth to the gaming community.
wow my friend got this game and its been a blast. The levels are freaky and graphic and the game doesnt even try to skirt around anything mature it just shies a big beacon light on it. I have played GoW 1 and 2 and found this game to be at least as good if not better just because of the mature focus of the game. Is it perfect, no, there is No game that will ever be perfect. Is it fun yes. Also this game had a decent story that was followable unlike Bayonetta which was a story thrown into a blender then thrown across the room. Will GoW 3 be better, most likely they have already had 2 games to build off of, but the story and art of the game gives it playability all of its own. But if you can't handle an actual Mature contented game GoW 3 will be out soon for your sensitive eyes.

I'm just curious as to why, since he mentioned his fuzzy bum, Yahtzee didn't comment at all about Lucifer's ridiculous bait and tackle flopping across the screen during the entirety of the second phase.
Contrappasso to Lust: people who abandoned themselves to their overwhelming feelings while alive, letting themselves be carried, are now forced to be overwhelmed by a stormy wind (with painful, rock-slamming epilogues at times).
Enough of an explanation, Mr. Croshaw?
Time to find another hobby to your saturday evenings, if you don't like windy places..

Devil May Cry was first (2001) and God of War came out second(2005) so I'm sorry GOW copied DMC[/quote]
DMC and GoW are very different games and have very different styles. I am a little annoyed with how people keep lumping the two together. DMC had the ability to switch between main melee weapon and gun in a combo, where GoW had one main weapon and you switched as needed.
But mostly DMC was about style and combos, GoW was about the raw brutality. I have played both and if you want to say one is like the other, you may as well lump every blody action game where you gain exp together.
