<p>My friends and I were talking about it today at lunch.</p>
<p>So... what do you guys think of it? I think that the graphics are quite amazing and it's well done, but I've also heard that the game doesn't follow the original masterpiece's plot. It's still ingenious to bring back a more than 700 year old classic in the form of a video game. Perhaps stuff like this will inspire hedonists to develop at least a mote of respect for the arts :)</p>
<p>I'd like to hear your opinions =D</p>
<p>It’s not my kind of game…I’m an FPS and RPG guy.</p>
<p>I do like the concept though. I’ll probably rent.</p>
<p>lol I doubt it follows the actual Divine Comedy, the least epic epic I’ve ever read. They should have done Orlando Furioso instead</p>
<p><em>goes on wikipedia</em></p>
<p>yeah no, that’s not the plot haha
Basically Dante is all confused in the woods and the poet Virgil is like “let me show you around Hell and Purgatory” so he follows him, sees Mohammed, Alexander, and various d****y Italian princes and popes in the divers circles of “il inferno”
Then he goes to heaven and sees his late girlfriend in the 9 or so heavens which are all planets along with the sun and moon</p>
<p>interesting coincidence - I just discovered that this old mansion/museum I volunteer at has a statue of Dante, which I at first thought was Boccaccio because I prefer the Decameron to the Divine Comedy, but I was still impressed with the old owners’ apparent taste (they were lumber barons who typically enjoyed reading puritan religious texts and stuff).</p>
<p>The video game probably has a way more interesting plot than the epic. I have to put Paradise Lost and Orlando Furioso ahead as more interesting</p>
<p>The concept looks very cool, making a classic work into a video game. I hope it won’t just be an inferior God of War though.</p>
<p>They completely butchered the Divine Comedy. Alighieri would be ashamed.</p>
