Quick Quotes: Bleszinski on people writing-off the story in Gears of War
“People say, ‘yeah, I tried the campaign, but whatever.’ Gears of War 3′s campaign is very important to us, and we’re going to have the longest damn campaign of the series in Gears 3. With these Pulp Fiction elements we’re adding, you get a better perspective of characters like Cole and Baird. But yeah, I dont get why people write it off either. (Laughs) The amount of work we put into it.” – Cliff Bleszinski speaking with Destructoid.
