Wait, fraud is a sin? What if it's only tax fraud, does that count?

I think recent events have proven that Wall Street would say "no, tax fraud does not count."

You just wait until Harvey Golub has to fight his way through the depths of Hell.

Looks like the Quick look for Darksiders

Have they shown what Lucifer looks like in this game?

I love how the devs act like this is so creative. "It's like a series of arenas. It's like Fight Club!" It looks like several circular platforms where you just fight a lot. Hardly inspired level design.

So, the eight circle is an arena? Kind of... dissapointing.

I still don't understand why the developers are detailing the entire game like this.

Waaaaaiiiit.
 
Alright, I now know I'm not buying it. Fraud is an arena..."It's like Fight Club!". Ed Norton should kill that guy. Curb stomp him straight to his uninspired version of the eighth circle of hell.

Wouldn't it be kind of cooler and more clever if the fraud and deceit level would... like... you know... try and deceive you?

Re-treading content you've already seen in the game, but in a darker level... Yes, what a wonderful idea! Very creative!

I totally agree. At first I thought this game looked kind of sweet, but the more info I get from it, the worse it gets. The demo was largely just meh, and the story seems out of place. And now with the 8th circle that's supposed to be ultra epic, is just an arena where they decide to recycle ALL the enemies encountered through the ENTIRE GAME!? All in the while they try to make it sound really cool, but in the end they just repeat themselves over and over and over...

they are, while it looks like it may be fun, its not.

I'm calling it, this will suck.

The deception is that you bought the game expecting your money's worth.

this game is soooo disappointing. And just hearing these guys talk about it likes its so cool and unique just pisses me off. Its like they think we're all dumb asses and can't figure out the truth from all we have seen. From what I've seen, the best thing about the game is the sound design. However, the voice acting for the demon chick in the beginning was cringe worthy, soo out of place.

Boo to the naysayers. Dante's Inferno, while derivative of God of War (which in turn is derivative of Devil May Cry) is going to be an awesome game.
Serkeron Jan. 11, 2010 at 1:01 p.m.
Theres a part where u think its all over and ur done fighting recycled enemies, and then they throw more recycled enemies at you then u have ever faced before! 
 
ThatFrood is right, this couldve been the level where they really fuck with your head; Scarecrow sequence in Batman style.

Arena-based games are poison to me. POISON.
PlasmaMachineon Jan. 11, 2010 at 1:06 p.m.
I have a friend who told me that someone he spoke with about the game was pissed off because the developers were spoiling the final boss to Dante's Inferno in the interviews. Let me repeat that in a summary format; a guy was pissed off at a spoiler for Dante's Inferno. One more time, SPOILER IN DANTE'S INFERNO.
