Skip it. Time for a new (and hopefully better) game...

Funny. A post about crappy eco dvd boxes, followed by a post by MrEco... lol

Yeah, that seems like the more reasonable way to go...

Lol, I noticed but didn't say anything. Couldn't think of something witty enough to be worth typing.

one toss, one poke, or give it to a little kid and it damages your cover!

I dont want to be eco-friendly! I want a solid dvd case!
They're made out of the same non-recyclable plastic. They're not even really all that eco-friendly compared to regular cases.

If these companies were actually being environmentally conscious, they could use case made out of bio-degradable plastics instead of just poking holes in regular ones.

You should definitely get 20 Platinum Trophies for finishing the game in the first place. How'd you pull that off? That's my question!

Easily one of the worst games I've played this gen. Most boring level design I've ever seen. "Here's a bunch of dicks and vagains on the wall, let's change up the colors and this is what Hell looks like for the whole game!" ... lol, but seriously. The boring ass environments brought it down a lot for me, along with everything else.

I found the combat kind of fun. And the fact that it wasn't a very long game helped. But yeah, other than that it was horrible.

The reason I dislike Dante's Inferno is not for its boring, derivative combat, not for its incompetent delivery of a classic work of literature, and not even for its predictable and repetitive art style. I despise this game for the marketing campaign that EA staged for it. It was shallow, offensive, insulting, and wrong on so many levels.

What was Dante's Inferno's marketing campaign? All I remember is seeing some crummy looking dvd on shelves.

They got people to act like religious fundamentalists and complain about the game. Way to go EA.

I think Extra Credits covered the issue pretty well if you want to check it out.
