I am not a Gears of War fan…at all. I have bought both of them trying to find the awesome everyone tells me is in there. Both times I couldn’t find it. I have many problems with Gears of War and it’s sequel. Like the fact Cliff Bleszinski can’t write without sounding like he lives in a middle school. His new game Bulletstorm seems to be going in the same childish, idiotic way.
I want to like Cliff, I really do, but he never helps himself from not looking stupid. I must say that at this years E3, he was much more mature about introducing his new game. He let the blonde girl look like a complete idiot instead. I mean how many pictures have you seen of Cliff with that damn gun with the chainsaw on it. Does he know how bad that looks? Is he that out of touch!?
He thought he was a god of game making because he brought the curb stomp to Gears. Yes Cliff curb stomping and chainsawing some one is very nice, but not as nice as a cure for cancer. Lets get some perspective.
His new game seems to be going down the same horribly written road that Gears created. Watch the video below to see for yourself.

“You scared the dick off me!” Really….REALLY!!?
I mean the gameplay did look fun, not the best thing I’ve ever seen but fun. I would even think of picking this up, but having to hear the writing makes me want to burn it. Deadly Premonition’s writing is better than this!! Just because I play videogames does not mean I’m unintelligent and want to see boobies all the time. Please Cliff and any other game makers out there treat me and my brain with some respect.

Hell, the day dreams I had in middle school trump those I have today, don't fucking dis middle school.
Mostly though, it's FUN! If you want decent writing then you're looking in the wrong place for the wrong thing.
And regardless CliffyB doesn't even write the stuff if the writing is what's putting you off. In fact if I'm remembering correctly Cliffy stays far away from the writing because he knows he sucks at it. Cliffy is responsible for the world and the gameplay. The writing is done by someone else who helped him create the world.
What? You think one guy does everything?
I dunno what your beef is against CliffyB. I love him. He seems like a cool dude to just hang out with and I've never heard anyone say otherwise.
Epic's good though, I expect them and Gears to keep getting better and really that's really all I care about.
There's your ticket.
cliff has awesome gameplay design ideas, UT, gers, jazz jackrabbit, and i'm pretty sure epic has little to do with bulletstorm bar helping the funding and maybe some production, but not in the actual design of it, just gave them the engine and said go have fun, since painkiller was awesome and all.
I love the gears series and I'm looking forward to gears 3 and bulletstorm
but that has nothing to do with Cliffys involvement. I play these games
for the mindless, rage fuelled fun they provide.
Can't you accept the success if something without liking it yourself? Or spilling your lack of understanding over the Internet floor?
