Zero Punctuation: Dante's Inferno

[ewhac]

I rather liked the throwaway tableau he drew at the beginning with Abraham about to spike Isaac, with $(GOD) floating in at the last minute saying, "Just kidding."

 

[Supernova2000]

Here i thought Yahtzee was going to mention the stupid recurring "why did you break your promise" dribble from Dante's wife when the explanation is simple: If he'd unplugged himself from his wife BEFORE promising to 'forsake all pleasures of the flesh', thereby breaking it the very nanosecond he made it, then maybe she wouldn't've gone to hell in the 1st place! But then, how the hell is that her fault? In his 'infinite wisdom', god decided to punish the wife for the sins of the husband? I only played the demo and realised the full version is completely redundant as long as my God of War doean't go missing. Plus, unlike Dante, Kratos wasn't a complete numpty. Beatrice: "why did you break your promise?" Dante: "I don't understand" although, to be fair, the blood flow to his brain was minimal at the time.

Well said, Yahtzee, well said! I agreed with every single thing you said in that video.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

"It's like my right hand on a Saturday afternoon"
"Why is that"
"It beats the hell out of me!"

Great show, sport!

Stop stealing what I was going to say!!!

 

[HellbentCrusade]

Played the game. It wasn't horrible but it was in no way as fun as GoW. The only thing DI did better than GoW II was graphics and that is expected from a next gen game.

 

[Deathfish15]

Disagree with ya, Yatzee. This is atleast better than REHASHING God of War (into a 3rd). I'm sick of sequels and am glad that EA decided to try a new IP, even if the mechanics are identical to GoW.

That was one of the funniest ones I've seen.

Two things....

1. Sounds like you wank it too much.
2. Glad I didn't buy this.

You can never wank to much

Just a quick question, will you be reviewing no more heroes 2?

not yet because michael atkinson likes to fuck over austrailian gamers, so give him some time as the game goes through the standard flogging most games seem to get while being prepared for PAL releases.
you do have to know he's in Australia, so he can't review a game the moment it comes out in the US or UK. It doesn't work that way dude.

I know. I just want to know if he plans to. I'm going back to mr Wii in a few weeks and I'd like to pick it up, but if it's not on par with the original I'll leave it be.

Fuck yeah, get it. there's tons of changes and has been getting decent reviews all across the board... BUT before you even fork out the 40 bucks for the game... why don't you rent a copy and try it?

Why would I do that if buying it outright is universaly cheaper?

 

[Tryforlive]

it beats the fuck out of me LOL

I didn't think much about the "voice change" that people are talking about. If i do have to think about it (which i am obviously doing now) then really, its only a very slight... and more like his starting videos. the only thing that jumped out at me (which i don't think anyone has mentioned up to now) is the
"as if you're trying to make fire without matches on his face".
I wasn't sure if he was doing it on purpose, like that time he said "so apparently i'm a retard", but i watched the review again and he genuinly ran out of breath. perhaps a bit of punctuation might not of hurt.

I'm glad to see his pride of "doing it all in one go" overrides the fear of sounding retarded.

I liked some of the imagery he uses. He wouldn't have been half as funny without it XD

Heh. Yeah - I noticed that, too. Seemed like he was running out of breath.

I'm not completely sure whether or not it was on purpose, but it did sound rather humorous. xD

 

[GameOverGoblin]

That was a good review. WAY funnier than his ME2 or Borderlands review. I'm still going to try to at least rent the Dante's Inferno, though, since I actually don't have god of war 2.

 

[duchaked]

meh I wouldn't know the difference (between good or bad) with either Dante's Inferno or God of War...not my preferred genre at all

 

[BioTox]

LoL Was that a poke at the 'Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster' (yes, you can Google it) in the credits? Video made me laugh like always.

 

[ImprovizoR]

This was old schools quality review. I loved the jokes

 

[Obrien Xp]

I love it when he said. "Without matches on his face!"

I saw Ludo on his clock pick with wank wank wank.

Cookie for ye who knows where that's from.

 

[DTWolfwood]

right hand and sunday nights XD "beats the hell out of me" o good one! hoho funny review. finally bringing back the 'not gay' proclivities \o/

 

[TheLefty]

First 45 seconds;Part of the reason I'm agnostic.

 

[Octopusesgarden]

I've always found dantes inferno an odd game since I saw the first preview.I haven't read the book it's based of but when I hear of it being one of the most important peices of litiarature and involving religion,it just seemed really crazy of EA to do a god of war rip off.

 

[mrx19869]

Demon souls is better... GOD and this game are boring, its like playing the TMNT Arcade game.( nothing wrong with this 10 years ago..0
