Daunte's Inferno

I think the fact that they're doing a game loosely based on The Divine Comedy is a pretty neat idea. I'm going to give it a shot.

Agreed. The concept is fugging epic. But having played the demo, as beans said, this is just another button-mashing beat-em-up. And the cross attack is so odd. It's like the dvelopers were saying, "Well, he needs a ranged attack. Bow and Arrow?" "Naw, let's have him hold up a crucifix and machine-gun out crosses of light three-at-a-time." "Hmm, it seems like you didn't put a lot of thought into that. Perfect!"

And does ones choices in the Punish vs. Absolve thing actually matter?

I might get it anyway, because even though the gameplay is pedestrian, I think the fun might be in the journey. The descent through the rings of Hell and the various damned and daemonic encountered therein would make for a great experience.

yea, the cross attack is really half assed. I felt like I was playing gauntlet... except I love gauntlet.

A lot seems half assed about the game. Like the way he dies. He's just randomly standing around and one hooded guy sneaks up on him and stabs him in the back? Really? That's the least cool way to have your character die. Why not have him swallowed up in a fire? Or overwhelmed by enemies? Or crushed by a piano? Or bludgeoned to death by a four-year-old in a pink bunny costume would be more badass than the way he dies. Yeah, some great hero we get to play here, he can't even detect a guy sneaking up on him in this enormously wide-open outdoor space. That threw me right there.

outside of the combat system, the entire game is asinine. the concept art was stripped off the school binder of a 5th grader. considering i've already played bayonetta and darksiders this year, this one will be tough to enjoy.

AND NOW I WILL SLASH YOU WITH MY GIANT BONE SCYTHE!

please. completely gay.

i thought bayonetta was kinda crap too. I just can't get into these $60 coin-op games. I'd play it if it cost a quarter but I can't shell out $60 for a totally linear, single player beat-em up (which inevitably takes place in some version of hell) that takes 6-8 (at most) hours to beat and has no replay value.

I'll load up my wii and play golden axe or altered beast or metal slug anthology kthxbai.

    • He's completely useless, it's like playing 10 vs 11 with him out there. But he's one of those "nice guys", friendly and personable. Likeable guy around the building and nobody wants to be the bad guy that kicks him to the curb. So he just gets to hang around forever even though he's useless. Wouldn't be surprised if Bryce ends up in the same situation.
    • No high end HC candidate was ever going to seriously consider us, we were always only going to be looking at re-tread HC's who no other team would give another shot to or the young guys who weren't ready for it yet and saw it as their chance to jump the line Most of the pieces on this team were bad coming into the season and there's been a ton of injuries on top, I don't really blame Canales much.  At worst he's going to set up a better culture in the locker room with his up beat attitude and it will get it in a better place for the next HC after Canales is dumped following next season. That's another reason I'm against drafting a QB this year, we can't fire Canales after 1 year (as NOBODY would want that job).  Give him year 2 with a gap starter or young current backup (my vote is Hooker from the Lions) to see if he can do anything, if not we get a new HC with a Top 10 pick to choose his own QB.
    • I know it's not of popular opinion but at this time you cannot continue to dwell in & on  the problem any longer.no absolutely not  you have to get in the solution at the end of this season & you must set aside any emotional connection you have with this front office & current coaching staff .for years now & still this team is the worst team in the NFL showing no improvement not by accident you have to  hire a brand new GM put him in  charge of everything football related & i mean literally  everything & then GTFO out of the way as he brings in his own personal hand picked scouting department & hires his own coach & drafts the Qb of the future & most importantly creates an entirely brand new culture in Charlotte or keep what we are currently doing & accepting a different result...just saying
