Friday Fight #6
It's clobberin' time...Published 05/02/2010 at 14:30 by Gastos84
Friday Fight is back. On Boxing Day we saw Nemesis challenged by the former God of War – Kratos. It appears that it wasn’t even a scuffle as Kratos won 31 of your votes while Nemesis only managed to gain 3 and two of them were sympathy votes.
To kick start this just-for-fun feature and to celebrate the release of Dante’s Inferno, today’s fight will hopefully provide you with a tough decision. So, without further ado…KRATOS vs DANTE.
Kratos’ Pros:
- Angrier than a rabid badger
- Go-faster stripe for intimidation
- Two extremely sharp blades seared to his wrists via chains which can be used in all manners of destructive and violent ways
- Magic powers, including lightning attacks
- Penchant for ripping limbs off bodies and shoving them back down their owner’s throat
Dante’s Pros:
- Extendable Scythe for maximum reach
- Stitches tapestry into his own flesh
- Magic powers
- Rides beasts like a…beast
- He’s a Knight
Kratos’ Cons:
- Sluggish at times and a little slow
- Limited attack range
- Silly beard
Dante’s Cons:
- Not good with kids. Especially if they haven’t been baptised
- Copycat
- Whipped

Kratos would just lay out 3 of Chronos’ balls…of rage and then hit him with Poseidon’s rage and spam circle. A shocking defeat to say the least.

pffft. Dante would whip out a GBDC, ram it down Kratos mouth and pull it out the other end.

touche sir. touche.
Unless Kratos was wearing the dairy bastard costume. A GBDC is no match for a badass dressed as a cow flailing 2 4L milk jugs.

Is Kratos allowed to bring in his legal team to question Dante’s originality?

Dante (even though he won’t stand a chance on PlayStation based site)
I’m currently loving Dante’s Inferno… it does everything God Of War has done so well in the past, but I’m afraid to say does it better.
Violence, sex, combat, giant Titan sized enemies, puzzles etc… etc… but adds to it with choice to Punish or Absolve and the dual upgrade path that gives. with the promise of co-op play and user created challenge rooms, its going to get even better
Dante’s Inferno is quite probably my number 2 PS3 game ever (pushing Drake down into 3rd)
Buy it or… Go To Hell!

See, I played the demos for both Dante’s Inferno and God of War III and D’sI just felt like a poorer version of what I played with Kratos.
The GoW demo was far from perfect, it was often too dark and had awkwardly placed QTE indicators, but the gameplay, graphics and scale all just felt so much fuller, and more brutal than D’sI. I loved the Dante’s Inferno demo, don’t get me wrong, but upon a second playing, it just didn’t feel as nice or as polished as it had the first time round. I’ve done the GoWIII demo multiple times now, and it seems to get more impressive every time.

Inferno is better than GOW3. I say so. OBEY ME!

I too thought the GoWIII demo was a bit better, but I’m making my way through the second circle now (Lust) and the scale is jaw dropping, also the locked 60fps does make an indescribable difference to the gameplay, the combat feels smoother ans I’m going to say the impression of scale on Dante’s surpasses GoW because the camera doesn’t zoom out making you tiny Vs a titan, it just makes the titan super big… Its quite simply and stunning achievement… and I love all of Kratos’ adventures but so far this improves on everything that GoW did so well

Hmmmm… Dante is cool and all (look at him, he stapled fabric to his chest) but I’ll hve to go with kratos because of the nostalgia.

Fabric isn’t bad ass. The ashes of your dead family, now that’s bad ass.

Kratos!
He’s Badass. Also, despite his appearance as your stereotypical angry brutal greek guy, he actually has a proper developed backstory, and one you actually care about. The moment in Chains of Olympus when you have to push *character* away from you by pressing square(?) repeatedly was a genuinely hard thing to do! You knew everything Kratos had done, and eventually would do for those characters so it was something you actually cared about.
I just think that any character so brutal, ruthless and angry that can make you actually care about him is a winner in my books!
Dante seems like a bit of a bitch.

I’m going to say Dante. I feel sorry for the poor chap. It isn’t his fault he is a complete rip-off, it’s the designers and developers.
So for that reason alone (sympathy) I’m going with Dante.

Ive only played the Dantes Inferno demo, never touched a God of War but im still gonna go for Dante coz he is awesome. Iwent to get the game today but wound up bringing Guitar Hero: World Tour back with me.
Dont ask me how it happened, I really dont know but it was an excellent decision for me.
Anyway….Dante FTW!!!!
