"I read the poem "the Divine Comedy", and I said to myself: how can I make money off of this?"

[IamAnnie90]

wasn't Limbo like, you do receive a punishment but eventually you can go to Heaven or was that Purgortory (i pretty sure i had spelled it wrong)?

[rogviholm025]

Like the movie and the game :)

[Classynotclassic]

what is this poem?

[chelseafan16]

I doubt these guys read the ENTIRE poem.

[Glenndeman4fun]

when you kill someone arent they going back to hell or something?

[tolegit2quit511]

watch the south park where ike sees dead celebrities.

[Dennislius]

Ohh i just got the info...Limbo means when its changes...Like the road to another thing. what they mean in the game should be that you are going from life-to death.

[max123621]

what is limbo?

[Dennislius]

lol its the first circle of hell

[max123621]

.....i no that but what does limbo mean??? or is it just a name? i dont no cuz im Jewish

[blargenthrop]

@max123621

you know you could always just google the word limbo :P But to explain it it just means in a state of betwixt. Like you can't move forward, but you can't move back, you're just suspended in a state of in between. In the Catholic religion it's the place where unbaptized but innocent or virtuous souls go, like infants or good people that were around before the coming of Christ.

[max123621]

oh ok thanks. wow so killing babys...that sounds intense...

[londea88]

@max123621 if you recall they did the same thing in Doom 3 with the Cherubs.

[Dennislius]

ohh, I got no idea O.O

[gummyocto]

its also a fun game where one tries to walk under a stick by tiliting their heads backward....

;D.

[Waluigi101]

Between hell and heaven.

[ZeroJinKui]

nice... this should be fun, it'd be almost like playing a video game of whats constantly rushing through my head 24/7!

though, i think my thoughts are a bit more brutal than this game... but it'll be fun nonetheless!

[fismaljE]

the game is really worth buying, also played a demo on xbox360 this is simply outstanding.

[R4z1n9Th3R00f]

after playing the demo on PSN today, i reckon that this game is worth buying, but there's a problem; would it kill the developers to find a way of adding AA, like MLAA in the saboteur, that was like 16xAA.

[Clutchisback1]

"ETERNAL DAMNATION FOR YOUR SINNSSSSS"......gave me goosebumps....

[wotandsdwys]

he didnt go into hell in the demo.

in the trailer it shows him dive into hell after beatrice.

[timus001]

If Dantes actual descent into hell is accurate in the demo im not going to be pleased. Something more awesome like what happens in the featured trailer would be great.

[Sebansho]

Tested the demo version, liked it! Oh, and this game is NOT for first timers in horror games. I had creeps during the entire gaming of the demo.

[Altor07]

same here

[ToastyMcMuff]

I WANA PLAY IT NOW :(!! looks sooo good, ive been following this game for AGEES, when i found it a while ago that the people who made dead space are making this i got so excited!

[Darkstar6545]

I never learned what limbo is what is it

[RamboSkills]

Limbo is Purgatory.

[iliathebest]

No, not according to the book. Limbo is for those who lived good lives but didnt discover Christ. Dante has another book on purgatory.

[londea88]

@iliathebest By discover Christ I assume you mean those who accept Christ as their lord or god as their lord and those who do not?

[TRELOS1321]

Man you are such a fucking idiot

[londea88]

@TRELOS1321 Yeah and your'e being an asshole.

[LegendaryStory]

no, Limbo is the edge of hell, purgatory is a process or condition of either temporary punishment or "growing holiness" where one is prepared for heaven or hell depending on the obvious

[View100]

@RamboSkills: Limbo is where souls who did not embrace Jesus, or those who weren't bad but did not given baptism, example babies, will go.

Not a terrible place, but a place that not many would want to go.

[kvnxo]

Im not saying anything about the game, I mean, it looks great, and they can do wathever they want with the story, but dont say that "the divine comedy" is a love poem; it was a political manifest, almost clear as "the prince" of N. Machiavello

[draketheduelist]

EA Games' Hell (Dante's Inferno)

vs

Id Software's Hell (Doom series)

Whose hell is more hellish?

Personally, I find a 3rd person perspective disorienting enough. When you put a 3rd person perspective in the darkness of Hell, where you have puzzles, bosses, and impossible-to-find secrets, how can you even *identify* the place?

I think Doom's hell, for all its cheap monster closets and gimmicky teleporter tricks, is more hellish, simply because you can't tell what's sneaking up behind you...

[Blakefe]

this is like christianitys god of war

[ldbboosha]

the great thing about god of war is that it sets the stage for christianity and explains why there are no more greek gods.

[lastlink]

Magnific

[Pointingtothereality]

shes hot

[teriyakininjaXxXx]

LUST! LUST YOU HEATHEN! lol jk

[lunei66]

I hate religion sooo much, but this game is just really interesting.

[sceeterp]

religion is a pain, but it is perfect for games movies etc.

[calvinsaccount001]

i know right

[asiangamer64]

LOL circle of jealousy, circle of shoplifting!

[7m28]

yea, right after the circle of emos. lol

[Dem0nKlng]

what is this book or poem call

[weirdo3116]

it's called "The Divine Comedy"

[londea88]

@weirdo3116 Im sure it's in no way shape or form even slightly comical.

[goldengeckodave2]

The Divine Comedy

[zerox144]

The divine comedy,

by Dante Alighieri

[codofwar666]

i am soooo getting this

[tohla]

Getting this game for sure.

[sabieDxMx]
