Fanboyz would rather see industry die than serve exalted art

Fanboyz would rather see industry die than serve exalted art & story!

Just saw this in [i]Play Magazine[/i]. As it was published in a reputable magazine, I know that people will not want to discuss it, but just start up the ad hominem attacks against the Gold 45 Revolver / Ideas Have Consequences / Moral Premise technologies.

My take? People are slowly but surely getting tired of the same old shit." But still, the point remains... consumers aren't as stupid as you think they are.... --Page 10, February 2010 PLAY [/quote]

Imagine games with meaning, emotion, character, love, story, and romance, instead of dumbed-down Dante's Infernos with naked, debuached Beatrcies and giant boobies and a Dante with a giant, fanboyish cross stitched across his chest:

The game tries to be gratuitous, graphic, and controversial not because it
adds to the atmosphere or the story, but because they desperately want you to
ignore that the game just isn't very good compared to other God of War and Devil
May Cry knock offs. Spending money on a superbowl ad isn't going to change that.
Seems like with all the marketing around this game since it's very announcement
that there is more riding on it's success than we may know.

Dante's Inferno follows the poet warrior as he hacks and slashes his way through the demons of hell to save his girlfriend from the Devil.

Are you just screwing with me, Visceral?

Surely this is a joke. Surely a developer would be too crippled with embarrassment to put so much money, time and effort into something so ridiculous - turning a literary allegory on the nature of good and evil into a blood spattered God of War clone.

As you might have heard, it IS basically a clone. A carbon copy of Sony's successful massacring of Greek myth. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Plenty of fantastic games are shameless copies. Bioshock is System Shock plus Fallout; Saint's Row is Grand Theft Auto minus brains. If you can make a good game that resembles one people already love, then why not?

LOLZZZZ THEY RIPPED OFF GOD OF WAR LOLZZZ!!!

But Dante's Inferno isn't just a clone - it IS God of War. The attacks are the same, the plot elements are the same, the quick-time events are the same, the health bar is the same. There are God of War orbs to collect so you can unlock more God of War moves to use on God of War enemies so you can get to giant, powerful God of War bosses.

LOLLLLZLZLZ ZLZOZLZO LOZLLZOZ LZOZLZL!!! EA'S #1 EPIC FAIL FANBOY JONATHAN KNIGHT STITCHES A GIANT CROSS ON DANTE'S CHEST!!!

Overcome with a bad case of the sads, Dante does what any logical person would do: he stitches a fabric cross into the skin of his chest. That's how you know he's serious.

LOLOLOZLZZOZZLZOZLZZOZOL LOZL O LOZZLLZ OMG OMG!!

EA'S #1 EPIC FAIL FANBOY JONATHAN KNIGHT GIVES BEATRICE HUGE BOOBIES LOLZ!!!!!!

Outside, he finds the dead body of his lover, Beatrice. In the poem, Beatrice represents love and maternal feeling. In the game, Beatrice is a hot, chesty woman with a craving for demon meat. She's lying dead and half-naked on the ground, then her spirit pops out, naked, to be groped by a cloud of smoke known to most as Satan.

She's naked because men buy video games and men loves breasts. So that will make them buy the game, right? RIGHT?! Look forward to the upcoming game adaptation of Othello where Desdemona is a pole-dancing hooker.
