“$25 none of that $60 only multiplayer bullsh*t”
He speaks my language
"whats up cracka how ya been?" Damn Cliff thats some serious game
he got that RIZZ!!
He got some gears turning alright, lol
God...he's exactly my age. Didn't know that. I feel lucky to have grown up in the 3d gaming revolution. What a time to be alive. CliffyB will always be in the Video Game Hall of Fame, sitting up there with Romero and Carmack.
ABSOLUTE GENIUS I WOULD LOVE TO MEET OR HEAR ABOUT WHO RAISED HIM
@@Malouco I don't think a genius would burn so many bridges. If he was easier to work with, and less abrasive, I think he would have done much better in the industry. A smart person would have done things differently.
@@Glowbox3D Unfortunately genius doesn't always mean easy to work with.
Wish he'd go back to the unreal Franchise!
This
Not like Epic cares about it anymore
Need UT 4.
Gears 1 classic is so good it didn't need a remaster
Please Cliffy B makes Gears great again. 😊
The Forest Gump of Gaming.
Unreal and Gears made Epic what they are
Tim Sweeney's engine made Epic and Gears. Cliff is a borderline narcissist. He lambasts people who aren't as rich as him, and blames everyone but himself for his last failed project.
Xbox was right to refuse him to come back to Gears.
@@honkyjesuseternal you’re right he is. But sometimes you need that aspect of your personality to create something great
microsoft needs to try to bring him back into the fold to direct gears, and also create new ip
He did make a new IP; Lawbreakers. See how well that went.
@@iplyrunescape305 yes, not every try is a success
@@zombl337og yeah but how he went by it, it wasn't that it just had bad luck. he does not have the attitude anymore.
@@iplyrunescape305 yea true, but maybe if he rethought of how he made games and tried a different genre
@@zombl337og yeah, if only.
UT99 was absolutely legendary and so is Cliff
Gears is crap without him
If Gears was actually crap there wouldn't be this many games in the franchise. New one coming next yr too 🙌
The "gaming causes shootings" shtick is getting old. There has been plenty of studies with no conclusive evidence. Really cool to see a gamer make it big and do things his way though.
It's been old, but don't tell the NRA Spokesperson that...
Its a shame I just found out about Law Breakers I would have been all on that game. I remember hearing about it 1 time at E3 and that was it. I didnt even think it came out.
Exactly why they have lost and closed the game
it is a damn shame tbh
Cliffy B!
I want to make another billion dollar IP
Can’t wait for Gears E day!
Pixel game shootem ups are the funnest games...PROVE ME WRONG 💅
I pre-ordered my copy, years of reading videogame magazines and this is the first time I get to see a book like this, a full account of what such industry is like. Videogame people rarely get their biographies fully told. Can't wait, really enjoyed the couch cop of Gears of War 1 and 2. Sadly my Xbox 360 red ringed before 3.
I am also halfway through Hideo Kojima's the Creative Gene, the other book by a videogame creator, though this more about 4 page reviews of all his creative influences than a full account of his time making videogames (though you get snippets). Very recommended too.
David Polfeld : the dream architect is also quite good for the views of an insider as well as Sid meier’s memoir. You can also check the books by journalist Jason schreier
@@arvinsloane6715 I'll keep them in mind though I am a bit of a slow reader.
Also John Romeros autobiography The Doom Guy
I did end up reading the ones of Nintendo from Satoru Iwata [exPresident Global Nintendo] and the autobiography of Reggie [exPresident Nintendo of America] both overlap and somewhat shred enough in Shigeru Miyamoto. Though halfway Iwata became more of a President and Reggie was more of a marketing person to understand the west. That do said the West vs East is an interesting core.
Might jump on one of the ones you are suggesting later on. Would love if there were Keinji Inafune [Megaman, Dead Rising, Resident Evil, Capcom], or Ubisoft mainly due to Michael Ansel [Rayman] or Patrice Desilets [Assassin's Creed]. Or of course the Houser Brothers [Rockstar games Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead, Bully, La Noire, etc], I have considered childhood self-righteous villain Jack Thompson but not sure if I could stomach him.
CB is livin the life
He's a genius Gears of War was so original and was the susseful of Xbox 360, that game became in the best selling consoles of microsoft and was the game that shows for all the world the NEW and best graphics for that generation.
Lancer was sweet w that Chainsaw!
Shame that he couldnt behave himself
He pretty much burned his relationship with every gaming community over the years
If lawbreakers was created by some nobody it would have done better then with cliff
He reminds me a lot of a less extreme version of phill fish
Wish Microsoft would let him revive Gears Series
Inspiration
When I become wealthy, I will buy the rights to Gears of War and knock on his door and tell him.....Dude we need you to make this game great again
I am not joking when i say this, but he created a game where i am within the top 1% of the best gears of war 1 players. When i was a kid, i dominated and to this day, i still dominate in gears of war ultimate edition.
That's pretty damn cool. Did play in any tourneys? I'm a Halo guy but Gears is my 2nd 🤙
Video game makes lot of money. One worst game = million dollar. The best game in the world double the sales.
what? I think I had a stroke reading this
For a brief moment I thought the mainstream understood gaming and took it seriously then the interviewer asks the classic nonsense question “how do you feel about violent games making society violent”
the pioneer of badass video games.
😂😂😂no
@@DannyCosmos uhh yea, he made one of the best video games - Gears of war, not to mention adding a chainsaw to a gun. Genius.
@@ShantoShmento pioneer? There were plenty of violent video games before ..what exactly did he pioneer? A chainsaw on a gun? Lmao
@@DannyCosmos ok, clearly you're a hater.
No way he married a twitch e-girl
"one of video games most successful designers" lmao
The only game he created was a rabbit game in the 90s.
Gears was a collaborative effort where Epic gave him the lead. He just told people it had to have chainsaw guns and be manly.
The greatest success of Epic Games has always been their engine. Cliff had nothing to do with that.
What a failure honestly bro. Got lucky with gears of war 1-3 and has been living off of it till
He sold it and has some chick who does twitch/only fans want a joke lmao 😊
