Cliff Bleszinski: Heavy Rain Is For Girls, Says Gears Of War Creator
Epic Games design director and Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski believe that Heavy Rain would have sold better if Sony marketed the game directly to women.
Speaking in an interview with BioShock creator Ken Levine posted on Irrational Games’ website, Cliffy B explained, “I hate to sound misogynistic but it feels like such a great game for a girl who wouldn’t normally play games.
“Because women love true crime! I don’t know what it is. I’ve said it before – they love two things in life: queso dip and true crime.
“Y’know, you’d see Heavy Rain advertised in PlayStation Magazine and things like that. I’m like, dude, why isn’t this in Entertainment Weekly? Why aren’t you marketing this to the right crowd?
“There were scenes were I was almost literally dropping the controller it was paced so well. If you had that and shipped a disc with all those women’s magazines you’d maybe have sold twice as much.”

raptr and gamespot isnt properly linked as of yet likewise the gamespot fuse is buggy for that.Alternatively,you can edit your list like now playing,etc from gamespot account just edit ur gamelist in ur gamespot account manually thats it raptr doesnt update them automatically
