I'm extremely excited about this game. I even have a PS3, but I'm going to buy this before I even think about buying GoW. If I even buy DI that is, with the all the good games coming out like BF:BC2, Halo Reach, Metro 3233, and all those other PS3, X360, and multi platform games.
I'm excited about this game because, even though I have never read Dante's Inferno, I did read this. I found it very interesting, while not true, interesting. So, is anybody more excited for this than GoW3? Specifically the PS3 owners.
Dante's Inferno

Anybody else more interested in this than GoW3?

But to answer your particular question, I'll be passing on this game for a long time considering GoWIII is just around the corner. Even though Dante's Inferno has an interesting background and story, there's only so much of these kinds of games that I can shovel money out for. If I were Mr. MoneyHats and had all the time in the world, then sure.

Not even slightly, just saw some screenshots for GOW3 in a recent thread and yea..... not even slightly.
I am looking more forward to GOW3 than Dante's Inferno. But that could change when they both come out.

I played the demo for Dante's Inferno, and it copies God of War so much it's not even funny. Even the way he absorbs green orbs is like Kratos. Even the way you hold triangle to launch an enemy is like God of War. Even the quick time event finishers! The control scheme is VERY similar to God of War as well, like I mentioned earlier about the launching. The fight against the Grim Reaper in the beginning of the demo was a ridiculously boring boss fight. It was so boring it made me consider quitting the demo.
I'm not more interested in this, but I will be checking it out.
My brother seems to be way more into this game than GoW 3 though if I can cast a vote for him. He was really into the visuals and art in the demo.
I am, but that is largely because I'm really into the fear mongering Christianity that DI is based on. This is also why I'm digging Darksiders (and to a lesser extent Bayonetta) for the angels and destruction.
Really, it has absolutely nothing to do with not liking GOW, because I do, it is entirely due to a preference of the mythology that DI draws from over the Helenic basis of God of War. However I still expect to play the shit out of both

But Catholics are Christians.

Sorry, I'll clarify. The reason that I say Christian as opposed to Catholic is that I'm referring imagery and art that came about in the post-Schism, but pre-protestant area, wherein there weren't different sects for this type of stuff to develop from

The demo peaked my interests and it'll be on my to buy list for sure BUT, the God of War series is one of my favorite of all time and I am totally excited for GoW3 beyond anything this generation thus far. :O Though I was pretty excited for The New Super Mario Bros cause it looked like the next actual Mario game but was pretty disappointed after playing it :(.

I'm interested in both, but based on what I've seen and played of both, GOW3 seems far superior combat wise (it just has that wonderful flow that I love in the GOW series), and the story and locations seem much more well developed than the ones in DI. DI looks like it will be good, but GOW3 is in a whole different league in my humble opinion.

Christians worship God.
Catholics pray for the dead and saints.
Christians pray to God.
Catholics think Hell is a place where you are at temporarily and then you go to purgatory, then Heaven. No-matter what.
Christians know there is a fine line between Heaven and Hell, and that there is no purgatory.
Catholics think that being good will get you to Heaven, and then being semi-good will get you there faster than normal.
Christian believe that when you die, you go to Heaven or Hell based on your beliefs.
Catholicism is a power-hungry religion.
Christians focuses on God.

I don't even know what this "all or nothing" talk is, I just called you out because you made a ridiculous comment. This game gets some much blind and unnecessary hatred I can't even understand it.
um sorry to point this out. but christianity has many different churches that worship god in different ways with different views. there are many like lutheran baptist catholic and others. christianity is just the basic view that jesus was the son of god and was sent to absolve our sins.... so saying catholics arnt christians are different is plain wrong seeing as all other christian religions like lutheran from luther and baptist from john the baptist are based off of catholism since that was the christian church at the time. they just had different views on different things... dont go into this with me i attended a christian high school and college.... u sir need to be more open minded.

well the all or nothing thing is, you said I hate anyone with a different tastes, which is not true.
I don't like halo but I don't hate people that like halo. It's like saying since that guy does not like that one black guy he must hate all black guys.
You could say Christians are the same as Jew in that view. Christians are the people that were Jews, then Jesus called them Christians. There still are Jews, but they have different beliefs as they did way long ago. Just as Catholics had different beliefs then now. Catholicism and Christianity are completely different. Catholics believe people are holly, such as saints and priests for example. Those beliefs completely go against Christianity." @ADTR_ZERO: um sorry to point this out. but christianity has many different churches that worship god in different ways with different views. there are many like lutheran baptist catholic and others. christianity is just the basic view that jesus was the son of god and was sent to absolve our sins.... so saying catholics arnt christians are different is plain wrong seeing as all other christian religions like lutheran from luther and baptist from john the baptist are based off of catholism since that was the christian church at the time. they just had different views on different things... dont go into this with me i attended a christian high school and college.... u sir need to be more open minded."
Yeah, I should be open minded and say all religions are the same. /sarcasm.

Mass Effect is an RPG where you can run around freely and shoot guys in real time to your liking, along with preset enemies in certain locations.
Final Fantasy is an RPG where you have to take turns fighting enemies through a menu system, along with random enemy encounters in the open world.

Dude, don't even want to really get in on this argument because it's going nowhere but are you really comparing the differences between two religions to RPGs? That doesn't prove anything. Catholicism and Christianity are not the same thing. The support of the Catholic structure and the Pope is a fundamental difference you can't argue against.
