I wont miss Cliff Bleszinski :lol:
Is it just me, or do people seem to lump Cliffy B into the same category as people like John K? I don't know a single thing about the guy, but he seems to have a bad stigma.
Yah, as much as it is off topic, I gotta know why the CliffyB hate? He produces good games, so what did he do wrong? Did he kick a puppy or something?

More specifically, after getting fame through his work on Unreal Tournament on the PC he has spent the last several years spitting in the faces of PC gamers.

I don't really have a problem with him, but calling him a great game designer is like calling Michael Bay a good director. A one trick pony who shouldn't have all that success.

Bay's work on Playboy Centerfolds may change your mind. But perhaps it would not as I haven't viewed it. That said, he made Meghan Fox not seem like a superficial over the top bitch whore for two movies before she again turned into a bitch, so that's an accomplishment.

Playboy centerfolds AND gratuitous explosions. Might not be so bad.
