So ye, m$ft’s current strategy to satisfy their ignorant userbase is to enlist the help of developers to make multiplatform games that steal their subject matter directly from established franchises. How do multiplatform games benefit m$ft? Don’t multiplat games benefit all systems? No, multiplatform titles accomplish a few things.
One thing multiplatform games do is cancel the nextgen and better hardware argument. Why do you need better hardware to run games that play on lesser systems as well? But all right players lose because to accomodate the small bus console, we have to deal with a slew of small games, small enough to fit on the bastardized consoles limited media disc. Want better games? Only buy exclusives that make full use of the Bluray disc.
Also, much like a political voting event, multiplat games pull attention away from exclusives. Those dumb enough to buy them because of misleading video trailers or pretty box covers may find themselves small on cash when it comes time to buy the exclusive. Much like Independent candidates pull attention away from Democrat or Republican candidates.
These two games, Darksiders and Dante’s both steal their mechanics directly from the God of War series, but Darksiders is the worst offender of the 2, stealing character skins from World of Warcraft. Don’t buy either of these games, wait for God of War 3 and place your money where it belongs.
If you look at all of m$ft’s exclusives, they’re never very skill oriented, never attempt to build a right community or show children how to organize, because m$ft is part of the problem we have in the United States at this moment. Predatory laws, Politicians bent on disenfranchising Americans to be subserviant to their government. Yes, m$ft and other corporations partner up to keep our kids stupid, and produce mindless consumers who buy into whatever hype is advertised to them.
If you bought Darksiders or Dante’s, you’re part of the problem, you have some re-thinking to do.
Oh, and what do I mean about Dante’s being written to introduce soldiers back into society? Dante’s Inferno, the original poem, was written to show soldiers that what they’ve done on the field of battle will have to faced once home if they wish to save their marriage, or start one. The premise used was hell, and Beatrice, but what the book really exposed was the inner workings of a disturbed man and the psychosis that faith makes in fanatical followers. How appropriate that a bullsht poem would become a bullsht game…

Draksiders is a Third Person View (TPV) action fantasy game developed by Vigil Games and Published by THQ in USA and Published by Konami in Japan, Dante’s Inferno is a TPV action fantasy game developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts, both of these crappy games are multiplatform games made for Playstation3 and Red Ring of Death 360. World of Warcraft is a TPV Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment exclusively for PC. God of War 3 is a TPV action fantasy title made by developer Incognito exclusively for the Playstation 3, deserves your hard earned money.

More than just …
More than just thoes 2 they stole from, they even stole from portal :/
well said mate.
well said mate.
@PainGuy2 Bruce Lee …
@PainGuy2 Bruce Lee, Miner2049er, and a slew of other titles on c64 and Coleco would qualify as being a platformer, years before Nintendoof existed. Why don’t you quit being so naive and new to everything, and really research your info before you make stupid claims like you just did, LOL. Nintendo’s first console launched in Japan in 1983, how is it 37 years ancient? You don’t even know your own facts, get outta here, lol… You didn’t even talk about the Magnavox Odyssey, sad…
im 19, and yes ive …
im 19, and yes ive played the arcade version, miyamoto painted both arcades himself. He was originally an artist. Donkey Kong wasn’t a platformer in the way Mario Bros was. Plus were not talking about arcades were talking about home consoles. how about u stop twistin what i siad and admit that ur just a cow. u wouldnt have so much despise on this video if u werent such a cow. Colecovision, and Comodore64 didnt last, Nintendo did They hav been alive for the past 37 years because of there originality
LOL just saw this …
LOL just saw this video with the captions and google speech recognization failed so hard on this video
@recklesslifegnr …
@recklesslifegnr Dunno, when Socom 1 came out, I was into the conflict series from Take2 more. But since Take2 recently killed that IP by licensing it out to a newb developer, I’ll have to see what’s up with it. It’s on my to-rent list. If I see some gameplay vids from Zipper that shake my scepticism, I may upgrade it to-buy, hopefully it’s excellent.
@ A1R5N1P3R Right …
@ A1R5N1P3R Right what you say, but there are sheep out there and Microsoft know this! What are your thoughts on SOCOM 4 Navy seals on PS3 of course?
i would buy dante´s …
i would buy dante´s inferno
but of course after buy god of war 3
the only reason a have to buy dante’s is
i want more god of war, and when i had plaied gow like 5 times i will need a new one and this is my only option.but
FUCK DARKSIDERS
Bravo…………
Bravo…………
Second is, yes, I …
Second is, yes, I like Darksiders. I like God of War a shitload more, but I like Darksiders. A while back, I read about it in a Gameinformer magazine, and the way the described, it sounded pretty kickass. I followed the game for a while, bought it, played it, was kinda disappointed, but I liked it. You see, with me, it just i like games that genre, I’m not trying to promote anything.
God of War is the undisputed king of the genre without rival. Now everyone want to be it. it’s that simple.
Okay, for starters, …
Okay, for starters, I agree. With just about everything you said. Now I wish to throw out my personal views. The first being that Dante’s Inferno is probably the more guilty game when it comes to plagiarizing. For me, personally, Darksiders has too many gameplay mechanics and to really be narrowed down to just one source. It’s Zelda, God of War, WoW, and Portal. Darksiders is just what happens when you throw various video games in a blender.
I can know …
I can know the character designs in Darksiders are very similar to WoWs, but what aspects of Darksiders do you see similar to the God of War series? other than they’re both in the same genre.
I agree with Dante’s Inferno though.
@randallsnowb …
@randallsnowb There’s a playthru of ff13 on YT, from a few months ago, when it launched in Japan – watch it. I’m in the same boat, I look at a year in total and only buy 1 main title per genre and that still adds up to quite a bit. The 360 and Wii are rife with copycat games, that’s how they can boast having so may games, the only way…
@PainGuy2 How ancient …
@PainGuy2 How ancient are you? First platformer in history? LOL. No you haven’t heard of the Commodore64 or ColecoVision, the 2 sources for what Nintendo stole from for thoughts. Mario Bros. is from the classic game titled, “Donkey Kong.” Even Mario Bros was a stand up arcade hit long before anything Named Nintendo appeared in the world. LOL – learn your gaming history.
yeah I have …
yeah I have really, but are they in the VG Hall of Fame? no. Shiggy was the first person to be in the VG hall of fame, got voted LA TImes most influential, and various other awards. Nintendo made the first platformer in gaming history. it was called Mario bros. Without that game u wouldn’t have the God of War as we know it today. Taht game made the platformer standards that are used in GOW. I like God of War. I have the first and second on my PS2. Unlike u though, im not a blind fanboy
i am the same way. …
i am the same way. i don’t mind similarities in games, but im not interested in games that i know are blatant rip offs. these games are spawned because of casuals. they’re here to stay, its inevitable. lol @ the espionage bit
I have played both …
I have played both of the games gow and darksiders and I am not complaining about either one. I am really pleased that their is a gow type game for the 360 and other systems. They are nearly exactly alike. I like kratos so don’t get me incorrect.
I got God of War 3 …
I got God of War 3 pre-ordered on amazon. The give u a $20 gift card when u buy it.
the worst part of …
the worst part of the plagiarism is they managed to take a excellent game and turn it into shit. Dantes and Darksiders all flopped in sales.
Yes, they are Jap …
Yes, they are Jap made, but FF13 feels nothing like a Jap game. It feels like a wannabe western RPG that is downgraded to appeal to the dumbass casuals that make up most of the buys for video games.
dantes inferno was …
dantes inferno was pretty cool…. at first.. then it got kinda stale but still descent. darksiders is just god of war, world of warcraft and the legend of zelda combined.
I hope this is not …
I hope this is not going to be a beginning of developers getting bone idle and just copying each other. Its happened before in the past. SAD!!!
man all FF games …
man all FF games are jap moostly all the games u have or had were probably a jap game
MW2, Mag, FFXIII, …
MW2, Mag, FFXIII, and etc, has already made me overbudget, plus im waiting for GT5. GOW 3 is a bit lower on my list. it sucks, but im going to have to wait for it to get cheaper. damn, i just have to admit that i’ve been raped by MW2. i played it once since playing Mag, and felt like a noob shooting at other noobs, lol!
you have a point about m$ throwing money at Squaresoft to get a port. I hope they didnt goof up and sell out. i’ve been waiting for this game for two years now.
on summer i questioned a …
on summer i questioned a relative to get me AC2 and for my birthday he gave me darksiders (fuck i wanted mag) as an extra, omfg thats a fantastic reason why i like to select my presents xD
