That&#8217;s you <em>and<\/em> Cliff Bleszinski, who has decided to do something about that. In an interview with X360A, the man who invented the chainsaw gun promised that the next Gears of War game will be hard. Mega hard. Like Gears of War 3 on Insane difficulty wasn&#8217;t hard enough already.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels like in this current console generation that we\u2019ve taken a lot of steps to grow the audience and what I think\u2019s happened is that the games have become more linear and easier, so it feels like a lot of quick-time-events,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more I play games like that the more I turned off to them and just want to get back to systems interacting with systems, and get back to a game that, you know, when was the last time a game really challenged you and asked something of you, right? There\u2019s a reason why Demon Souls and Dark Souls have taken off lately. It\u2019s because they really require you actually try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taking its cue from those games then, Gears of War: Judgment will be out to kill you. A lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCasual mode will still be casual, whatever, if you just want to see graphics and you don\u2019t want to die. But every other mode will be hard in this game and you will die,&#8221; he explained, perhaps rubbing his hands together and laughing maniacally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I played this in four-player co-op\u2026 I mean, I\u2019ve been playing Gears since the beginning of the course and I really have to hunker down and focus, and if my buddies aren\u2019t reviving me, and we aren\u2019t working as a team, you\u2019re going to die, and it\u2019s okay to die a few times in a game to try some different strategies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is it? <em>IS IT?<\/em> I suppose it is.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36094\" style=\"width: 579px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cliff_Bleszinski.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36094\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36094\" title=\"Cliff_Bleszinski\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cliff_Bleszinski.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"569\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cliff_Bleszinski.jpg 569w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cliff_Bleszinski-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cliff_Bleszinski-250x197.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-36094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Call me Cliffy B one more time&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xbox360achievements.org\/news\/news-12086-Cliff-Bleszinski--%22Games-Have-Become-More-Linear-and-Easier%22.html\" target=\"_blank\">X360A<\/a> (via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerandvideogames.com\/354674\/epic-games-cliff-bleszinski-is-done-with-easy-games\/?cid=OTC-RSS&amp;attr=CVG-General-RSS\" target=\"_blank\">CVG<\/a>)<\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39597-gears-of-war-judgments-lead-character-a-no-brainer-says-bleszinski.html\">Gears of War: Judgment\u2019s lead character a \u201cno-brainer\u201d, says Bleszinski<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39458-epic-explains-gears-of-war-judgement-setting.html\">Epic explains Gears of War: Judgment setting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39059-gears-of-war-judgement-e3-trailer-criminalises-baird.html\">Gears of War: Judgment E3 trailer criminalises Baird<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Gears of War: Judgment news\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/tag\/gears-of-war-judgment\">All Gears of War: Judgment news<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;There\u2019s a reason why Demon Souls and Dark Souls have taken off lately.
