Fanboys detest the great books and classics.
In their superficial, worldless, bookless, litless, soulless cave, spectacle and hype are all they know, and so they confuse spectacle and hype with story. They see pretty shadows dancing on the wall, and they don't feel so bad as culture dies all about them and the family breaks up, as they drive their Ferraris around, hyping storyless, plotless, soulless creations as great and enduring dramatic art.
You will never hear Mark Rein/Cliffyb/Wyck Godfrey quoting Shakespeare, Dante, or The Odyssey.
That's because only in the absence of the Greats, which remind us of Truth, can they hype, hype, hype. Wall Street had to get rid of the Great Books and classics, so as to better be able to devalue the currency and break up the family, and Cliffyb/Wyck Godfrey must serve Wall Street over art, truth, and Story.
Wall Street's New Line/Time Warner is afraid of competetion, and so they have created a soul-destroying, story-hating, art-killing Hollywood machine. Mark Rein/Cliffyb/Wyck Godfrey are the true Locusts, emerging from the subteranean Wall Street/Hollywood Matrix to kill story. For story reminds us of truth and individuality, and thus Wall Street, which relies on lies, hype and deciet to profit in their zero-sum game, cannot afford it.
The vast arrogance of fanboys never ceases to amaze me.
J.R.R. Tolkien has a Tomato Meter rating of 95% postive:

Why it is that Wyck Godfrey seeks to chase ambulances and hype fanboyism, instead of busting his ass penning an epic, classical story, we do not know. Wyck could reach out to modern authors, but make no mistake, he has run the numbers in his little head, and he has chosen to ignore the authors, just like the feminist Wall Street machine. He finds good company amongst fanboys, as they too detest epic, classic, profound story.
Make no mistake--this is war. Every lie/hype propagated by Microsoft/Cliffyb/New Line is a violent affront to Truth, and thus Story, as teh center and circumference of Story is Truth.
Unfortunately, in order to bolster the Wall Street/New Line mythology, the machine must place Cliffyb/Stuart Beattie/Wyck Godfrey over true art and artsists. This means that they must counter the truth, plot, chraracter, and epic story; and prop up superficial fanboy fictions and hype.
Make no mistake--they could reach out to true writers, to true art, to Truth and Beauty, but once they touched that Ring, they put it on. They chose the lies of the Matrix--the illusion of Wall Street's machine, over the rugged truth of the indie artist. They chose to serve the Dark Side of the Force, with groupthink, hyped Microsoft press releases concealing their lack of soul, spirit, erudition, and story:

Great to see Epic doesn't give a damn about the storyline

"I'd rather have people say the story isn't deep than complain that they had to skip nonstop cut-scenes and comlink communications," Bleszinski says. Thanks a lot, Cliffy B. It's developers like you that give games a bad name by providing us laughably poor storylines utterly bereft of originality.http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?gId=3160828&sec=PREVIEWS&r=8325231
Unlike Kojima

CliffyB does'nt know how to make a patriotic story, only a game with pretty graphics. Wait a week or so... you will get bitch slaped by a random Metal Gear Fan.http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/review/R107512.html
Yes, I definitely think this game has been severely overrated by the media, due to the of course excellent graphics and ridiculous levels of hype. For a start, and one of my biggest Gripes in the whole game is the Story. Or more appropriately, the Lack of Story. It is very strange how Cliffy B said himself many times that he thinks games require a compelling narrative, and has even said that Gears will have a epic emotional feeling storyline. So Cliffy, where is it?
And thus as a hedge fund we will be shorting New Line/Time Warner.
