TVGB: "With its mutated baby demons, whose slaughter the game awards you for, shooting out of nipples of giant bare breasted ladies, and other kind of delightfully twisted stuff, if any game has a chance of getting banned in certain countries it's probably Dante's Inferno. Developer Visceral Games isn't sitting around waiting for the inevitable ban hammer to hit though but is "scaling back" parts of the game for certain regions during development."
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
Dante's Inferno at 4K 60FPS!
Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.
I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls
It's a shame that they have to do this kinda thing, but at least they are being realistic. Surely Valve didn't expect to slip L4D2 past the Australian censors?
I for one cannot wait for this game. I'm buying GOW3 as well but I love the concept of running through hell more so than causing havoc on Mt. Olympus. I just hope they dont censor anything for the NA version. Sucks for Australia though. I think they should push it so hardcore that it ends up getting a 18+ rating. Like running a long a bridge in LUST completely made of damned souls forced to forever fornicate with each other. It's SICK, TWISTED and I WANT IT!! Games like GoW took hardcore brutality to the max and now it's time to push it completely off the edge.
If they scaled it back to avoid the ban-hammer,man imagine when GOW3 with all it's gore comes out. I mean the scene of Helios stirred my stomach when i first saw it, it felt real also you could feel the pain through Helios' expression.
Speaking of Australia in the article, I have a feeling that Sony cut funding for L.A. Noire due to a possible Teen rating because that game is coming from an Australian developer. I mentioned it before.
Also, I may be in the minority, but I'm really excited about Inferno. I know a lot of people are saying it's a knock off of God of War, however I think this game will be well received.
I respect the right of people to want certain aspects of media censored. I don't know what the big deal is. If you live in a country that doesn't appreciate your ideas, you move. It may sound drastic to some, but the world is free in that sense. Or, as many of you are probably aware, you can try and ship the uncensored versions of games in, or if you buy it on PC, and you're slightly good with debugging and crap, you can bring back source files in the game and restore hidden content.
