Dante's Inferno (video game): Difference between revisions

** Also, between Dante and Death after Dante ''steals Death's scythe''... and cuts him in half with it.

* [[Dead All Along]]: Dante, [[Spoiler Opening|of course]].

* [[Deal With the Devil]]: Beatrice.

* [[Demon Slaying]]: Considering that almost every enemy in the game is a demon, this is a given.

* [[Deranged Animation]]: The flashbacks to the Crusades.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: In Dis, Virgil explains that the heretics are locked into coffins that will open only on the Judgment's Day. In the original novel, the coffins were open and would eventually close only after the world's end.

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Dante's father.

* [[The Determinator]]: Dante starts out his quest by killing Death, the proceeds to bring a one man holy war down upon all of the legions of hell that dare to stand in his way, up to and including the Devil himself.

* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: The nameless assassin, in retaliation for {{spoiler|Dante sleeping with his wife as part of a deal for freedom which Dante actually honored, a deal that ''she'' offered}}, {{spoiler|kills Dante, travels all the way to Europe to find Dante's home, and kills Dante's father and his love Beatrice}}. His [[The Determinator|determination]] is nearly on Dante's level.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Beatrice.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Well, the [[Captain Obvious|Suicides forest]]. At one point Dante is influenced by a demonic tree and, if not quick enough, kills himself.

* [[Eat Me]]: Against {{spoiler|Cerberus}}.

{{quote| "What will become of '''MYY GOOD NYYAAAAAAMMMMEEE'''!?!!!"}}

* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Dante.

* [[Male Frontal Nudity]]: Lucifer's very large, very ''furry'' penis is on full display.

** Dante's is also visible during the ending. Blink and you'll miss it, but it's clearly there.

* [[Mook Debut Cutscene]]: The various "sin" demons all have one, a [[Squick|squicky]] one if possible.

* [[Mook Maker]]: Cleopatra again. [[Squick|Don't ask how she makes them]].

** Also, {{spoiler|slaying Lucifer's titanic body frees his human-sized true form that was trapped within.}}

* [[Nipple and Dimed]]: Completely averted, to occasionally [[Squick|squicktastic]] effect.

* [[Notice This]]: There's a glowing wheel attached to anything in need of pushing, pulling, or climbing.

* [[Oedipus Complex]]: {{spoiler|Dante and his father end up duking it out in the Fourth Circle of Hell.}}

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: It wouldn't be a game set in Hell without it.

* [[One True Faith]]: [[Zig Zagged]]. Pagans are in supposedly in Hell, but Lucifer tells Dante that those he fought in the Crusades are not, after all, in ''this'' Hell.

* [[Posthumous Character]]: The majority of the characters shown in-game are already dead -- this being Hell, after all -- although Beatrice and Dante deserve special mentions.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]: {{spoiler|Dante returns Lucifer to his prison by using the souls of his family and friends.}}

** {{spoiler|Beatrice and Lucifer, briefly.}}

* [[The Vamp]]: Cleopatra, who doubles as [[The Baroness]]. The temptresses may also count, but they don't really try to seduce Dante, as they're too focused on tearing him to shreds.

* [[Viral Marketing]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMiRFJzIKA Mass: We Pray]'', a spoof of [[The Moral Substitute]] which actually had people very worried that it was a ''real'' product. Also, notable people in the media who cover video games received items tailored to a specific Deadly Sin:

** The "Wrath" portion of their [[Seven Deadly Sins]] based marketing campaign: a box containing a hammer and safety goggles was sent to various gaming media. The catch? When said boxes are opened, [[Rick Roll|a certain song]] starts playing and the only way to stop it is to ''smash the hell out of the box''. Once the unfortunate recipient is done, they find a scroll claiming that Wrath has damned them to Hell.

* [[Wall Crawl]]: One of the other ways of getting around Hell. By the way, the walls you crawl on throughout Hell are made out of the ''souls of the damned'' -- who keep moaning and screaming over their damnation as you crawl all over them.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Lucifer proposes this to Dante in the end.

* [[World of Ham]]: It's Hell. If people aren't screaming lamentations or cackling madly, something's wrong.
