Dante’s Inferno Game Has Shaky Understanding of “Lust”
Okay. I understand that the Dante’s Inferno videogame has very little to do with the classic literature. As a English lit nerd, I don’t like it, but I understand it. So rather than bitch about that, I’ll bitch about how Dante’s Inferno looks like hell’s biggest God of War rip-off. Okay, there are certainly worse games to rip off, but I swear Dante has the exact same attacks as Kratos, except when the swishes stop, he’s holding a scythe instead of Kratos’ ridiculous yo-yo blades…
…oh.
You’re probably more upset about the giant lady who shoots demon babies out of her nipples or the other evil lady with the vagina on her stomach with its own hideous tongue tentacle, aren’t you? Yeah, those are bad too.
