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.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
