Dante's Inferno

--- Quote from: Dimmukane on 24 Mar 2009, 21:13 ---As far as I can tell, they are really just using the 9 Circles of Hell as a setting, and until we know more about the story, that might be all it has in common with Dante's Inferno. This is more or less what God of War did, anyways, use the mythology for setting and make up their own pseudo-mythology with characters from the original pseudo-mythology. mythology

The difference is that God of War was called God of War and not, say, Homer's Oddysey. I'm not a Christian so I'm not too fussed about the co-opting of Christian mythology in this game - it's the insult to literature that annoys me!
Oh and that stupid giant scythe thing. Does he also shout out "MY PENIS IS ENORMOUS!" as his battle-cry?

Is The Divine Comedy really official Christian lore? I thought the belief in hell/the inferno as Dante described it died out the last century, if not even before that. Is this really anything else than all the other games based on books?

Oh shit guys
--- Quote ---Dante's Inferno was a poem. Now it's not only a game, but a movie as well, with the movie based not on the poem, but on the game based on the poem.
Sigh.
Anyway, this movie now has a writer. And that writer is...Mr. Dan Harris. Who aside from writing comics for both Marvel & DC also co-wrote X-Men 2 and...Superman Returns. Which means, at the very least, he's got a track record! Even if that track record involves taking otherwise sound franchises and making boring movies out of them.

Oh fuck
Oh crap

Wow. That might end up being the worst thing that ever was in the history of bad things.

Guys this game could be so fucking good if you got to keep on going fighting your way through the rest of the Divine Comedy through the terraces and spheres until you get to Kick Gods ass and make your own creation where you're surrounded by hot babes
