Well, I do at least love the hilariously unenthusiastic VO and script of this, if nothing else.

Yo dawg, I heard you like raging over Dantes Inferno trials so we put more trials in a trial mode so you can play trials and rage while you trial.
 
Can't wait to hear if there's a trial mode trial.

I thought the combat was the best part of Dante and was only bad when they made it quarter-stealingly hard? 
 
Man, if these companies are gonna go heavy into video they need to step their game up and bring in a secretary or someone who knows how to sound nice/interesting.

You know, im one that considered this game a guilty pleasure while agreeing its as bad as they say. I still wouldnt buy this DLC. I dont see the appeal in prolonging the most painful part of the game (um... the combat). The malbolge was the worst part of the game so I dont see how they can make the concept interesting even with making it multiplayer.  
 
I dont know... just dont get where they're headed with the DLC. Its not really making the game more appealing.

I enjoyed plaything through Dante's Inferno, but this DLC doesn't interest me at all.  The combat in the game was rather mediocre, and this DLC is purely that.  The game's strength was in its art, in how it realized the circles of hell.  At the very least I thought I'd be able to play through the single player campaign as Lucia, but nope.

Holy Cross + Divine Armor = cruise control to Win
I only think the trials that prohibit these will be interesting.

You can get higher milestones by playing the same trial up to 35 times? That seems excessive...

this game is a disgusting amount of squandered potential. Now I fear we will never get a good game based on Dante's hell.
