Or possibly because he's overrated?

Last i checked, he didn't single handedly make gears of war, either.

Cliffy started out his career making colorful toony action platformer and goofy fantasy adventure games.

How he wound up being expected to just make more Gears of War is lost on me. I thrust he'll think up something interesting. Gears of War was interesting when it was announced and was still mysterious at least.

No one has ever single handedly made a AAA game so technically everyones overrated according to you?

He helped make Gears of War and Unreal Tournament. Two wildly successfull games that forever changed their respective genres. How is that overrated?

Its my favorite Xbox game period! Doesnt change the fact that Cliff makes Dude-bro games!

Do you forget Jazz Jack Rabbit his first sucessfull game?

And how is Unreal a dudebro game?

And who is James Schmalz, can you answer without googling?, here let me ruin it for you, James came up with the idea for Unreal Tournament, yet the series is attributed to cliff most of the time.

That sir is a direct result of being overrated.

How is that a result of being overrated? He created Jazz Jack Rabbit and GOW. He helped in Unreal. He helped create Epic Games into a AAA studio it is now.

Everything Cliffy B has been involved in has been a success.
If thats overrated then you have extremely high standards.

Coming out with a idea and following through is two different things.

Or maybe I don't have the same mancrush as you?, Gears 1 was okay, 2 was meh, 3 should be used to torture terrorists.

Well it's a good thing he developed the idea to completion and retail then, isn't it. *rolls eyes*

So resulting to personal attacks because you have no argument. 

Gears 3 is the most polished game in all the GOW's and is played the most to this day. 10k online during peak hours. I still play it regularly and so do many others. Every Gears Fan uses GOW3 as the basis for the next GOW.
