To give Cliffy some credit, he's voicing his honest opinion on the matter. I imagine the vast majority of game developers react and feel the exact same way when it comes to their own games but keep it to themselves.

he is whining about one reviewer giving his game an 8/10. Why should i give him some credit? His game is already hailed as an excellent one as it currently stands at an 91. The sheer arrogance from cliffy B is disgracefull. David jaffe is another guy that can't shut up. Most of ye clearly do not understand how review scores should be graded. Jim reviews games on a proper 10 point scale, unlike 90% of the "reviewers" out there. An 8/10 in the proper scales is classed as an excellent game but not a perfect one which gears 3 isnt.  

Cliffy B's opinion does sound greedy and ungratefull.

I agree.

Machina, look at it like this -speaking their opinion or not- What if the people of Naughty Dog, bitched about a few reviews for their highly acclaimed Uncharted 2? It's called class. That's why, even if all devolopers feel that way, they keep it to themselves.

Wouldn't that come off as super douchey and arrogant? I mean our views on this one in particular is a bit hazy because it's Cliffy, already an "outspoken" person. When you boil it down he really shows some bad qualities. Qualities I've never seen in him before to be frank.

He's not bitching though. He's simply saying that he's a little upset that Gears 3 hasn't reached the same acclaim has Gears 2. It's not like he stated that he was depressed or pissed off about the score. He may be wrong for calling the Eurogamer reviewer a hater though, although he could very well be one. (I don't know, I haven't read it)
