I Still Hate Clash Of The Titans

It’s been.. a month or so since I saw that movie.

My soul still burns from the horror of watching it.

I thought the acting was somewhere around horrible, the writing was utter shit.  Almost every line in the movie was cringe-worthy and delivered with so much seriousness and rage, but not enough to make it a comedy.  The action scenes were so poorly shot I couldn’t tell what the fuck was going on.  Character interactions made no sense.  As Perseus is trying to defy Zeus who is giving him gifts?  Even though he could have before?  Then Perseus and Daddy Zeus have a sudden reconciliation off-screen and they defeat Hades with their powers combined?  The plot was shit, the action was shit, the acting was shit and this is OBJECTIVELY, they were all poorly done.  Taking taste into account?  So much worse.

Anyone who enjoyed that wreck is a horrible person and is part of the reason why American Idol is popular.

Dante’s Inferno Is Hell

I rented Dante’s Inferno.

It’s a bad fucking game.  Let me give you a review.

Graphics

PS2 quality, flat muddy textures and sloppy animations.  Clipping is a major problem, and most o the levels while colorful, also look BROWN in a way.  Everything is ugly.

Sound

Generic ‘epic’ music and hammy voice acting.  The sounds of weapons is good enough, I guess

Play

Poor man’s God of War, but without proper depth to the combat and prone to giving the player many cheap hits due to fucked up hitboxes and inconsistent powers, there is no proper feedback on how effective attacks are, the enemies have no real patterns and they have a tendency to just combo Dante and his horribly long stun animation (which can be hit again during!) and horrible shoddy platforming with instant death as punishment.  Then there are artifacts, but the system is stupid and the leveling up system feels crappy and awkward.

Story

Whiney asshole going to hell to get his wife back, and then it looks like the devil has a giant evil plan.  The only way it could get less interesting is if Dante’s name was simply Hero.

Verdict

Avoid the game, there is something better to play.  As at this point in the year 2010, the following games are BETTER: Darksiders, Bioshock 2, Bayonetta, Bad Company 2, Heavy Rain, Chime, Toy Soldiers, Adventures of PB Winterbottom, Army of 2: 40th Day, MAG, White Knight Chronicles, and Tropico 3.  Which is pretty much every game released up to this point in the year.
