Lair Reviews THE TRUTH

We all seem to be talkin about the views on Lair as being reviews but they are Only Previews, so as i am lead to beleive this is just a short look at unfinished code (pre).

This is just a case of bad non informative jurnalism.

As far as i was aware there was no planned PSN demo,

From what i have seen the game looks cool and im lookin forward to using the sixaxis. The only addition id like to see would be multiplayer.

It got some decent/good review except for EGM/1UP. All the previews done by IGN and Gamespot said that the game looked great. I doubt it is going to be a AAA tho.WongB

This is a little off topic, but I'd rather take a chance with Lair over Heavenly Sword...I was not impressed at all with that demo.

That's not entirely true. They've been saying there would be a demo in July. When fans asked about it the developers said "we are working to finsih the game, when it's done we'll get a demo out".

What's not making any sense is the fact they have stated quite clearly they are infact done with the game (for about 2 weeks now). The only reason why they have delayed the game is because they are working on some worthless online scoring/trophies part of the game. But the core game is finished.

It seems they are either lying about the game having a demo (not likely, they are going to release one) OR they were lying when they said the game was finished and all they were working on was some online stuff (highly likely they are placing analog controls in after the complaints).

Well, I started getting a bad feeling about Lair when they cancelled the demo for PSN. So in a way it makes the bad reviews seem like it's the truth.MERC_RECONN

They didn't cancel the demo, according to the playstation blog it should be coming out within the month.

Also, the only negative review was EGM. Play, Edge, Gamezone, Gamepro, and Game Informer all gave it good reviews. My advice... wait until gamespot and ign.com review it, they seem to be most reliable.

Wow, after reading what egm said, I'm def not gonna renew my subscription. Thank you for that link.

"BAD
They thought the dragon was a re- skinned x-wing
The dragon shooting fireballs was odd and wasn't realistic enough
The game had no map and someone asked if the graphics were good and he said "its High Def" and he didn't like the colors used,everything was brown and Grey.
They didn't like the art ****and said the game lacked innovation"

Are those EGM writers morons? A dragon shooting fireballs IS ODD!?!? And how they hell do you make shooting fireballs from a dragons mouth realistic? WTH does that even mean lol?

Have these guys ever seen Dragonslayer? It sounds like they just don't like dragon games from their explaination.

So basically they said they didn't like the colors and the art ****....but the controls, framerate, story was awesome.......but they gave it 5.5 score????

These guys are the biggest idiots I've ever seen.

After reading that I have more faith in the game... they said the controls are good but theres too much brown and grey and its not an original game? I haven't played a good dragon game since panzer dragoon saga.

yeah, from reading the good and the bad it sounds like the gameplay ( the most important part) is good. From what ive seen i like the colors and art and shooting fireballs makes sense to me. You cant hit enemies from a distance with a steady flame coming from the dragons mouth.

STupidest reasons EVER!

I think what they mean when they say the dragon shooting fire balls isnt realistic enough they mean it may be like a machine gun or something just to rapidly.Killzall

Becase there is an actual realistic way a DRAGON can SHOOT FIREBALLS..... :roll:

One bad review and the game is bad..............I really wish they would totally get rid of game scores, it is really sad that people namely gamers get so wrapped up with game scores.

I only think people would rely on game reviews if they haven't tried it out (this is why demos are cool). Cuz cmon Dynasty Warriors series has gotten bad reviews since DW2 and they still sell well.

well think about it in this game dragons would be biological creatures not machince guns and if they were spiting out 120 firebals a minute would that seem realistic? mabey a short burst of 3 or 4 but not 20 or 30

It sure seems like the dragons shoot flames fast, but w/e, it'll destroy my enemies faster.
They had really bad reasons for bashing the game.

-Disliked the art **** even though GeOW is kinda brown n colorless but is fine

-OMG Dragon has no Magic Crystall Ball Radar!!!!

-In an instance of the game, uses a cable to bind the feet of a giant brontosaurus reptile like the Snow speeders in SW
Bashed for being un-original

And some other stuff, they really tried to not talk bout the strong points like the gameplay.

They called it a re-skinned X-wing... I have to say. Factor 5 made Rogue Squadron... WTF do you think the game is going to play like?

i could give **** abt wat they say abt the game~im still gonna buy this game~

i have faith that this game is goin 2 b great~theyre defenitely paid by ms~

[QUOTE="barom"]THE REAL TRUTHThe_Tombo

STupidest reasons EVER!

totally agree. they say the gameplay, which is the most important aspect of games, is great but they dont like the art direction.

looks to me they favor graphics over gameplay. weird

EGM & 1UP are the same people just so you guys know and they're so biased it's not even funny. Wait for the GS or IGN review that will be smarter these guys don't know how to review I never listen to their reviews even if its a good 1.

The point is, how the hell do you base "realism" with DRAGONS?

You say it's not realistic that dragons would spit fireballs so quickly......are you kidding me? That's like saying mythical flying horse (pegasus?) is not realistic because he flys too high....everyone knows a horse couldn't breath at that altitude. rofl, the whole arugement is stupid if one of their reasons for hating the game (and yes, they hate the game to give it a 5.5) is because the dragons are not realistic when Dragons don't EXIST.

Yeah, I think this game will definately be worth getting. I usually trust GamePro, but their review was a little silly, imo.

"Pros:Gorgeous Graphics, amazing orchestral soundtrack. Dragon Based action is fun."
all that sounds like a must buy, so what was their con?
"Con: The decision to utilize Sixaxis only control scheme hurts more than it helps"
uh, what? Isn't the Sixaxis one of the selling points of the game? Well darn, cause who was't hoping to not have to use that? Not like they've been harking about it for months now!

Also, as far as the dragon spitting fireballs too fast: in my opinion we are talking about a mythical creature here. I think they're allowed to take a few liberties.

i agree, only the exact opposite.

Its weird because all the people who tested it at E3 said it was awesome on how they put the controls together. Its weird now that with the game coming out, bad reviews are coming from how bad the controls actualy are.......tfaa

That's my thought as well. All previews sounded good and said how the controls weren't bad. Now these first reviews are ripping into the controls, like what happened?

Has anyone considered that maybe the game just isn't as good as they expected?Bartz_Has_Bite

of course not because the rampant fanboyism just wont allow that. god forbid that one excluse be a bad game even though there are a lot of other exclusives that are going to bo just fantastic.

i have never once thought that this game was going to be good at all. it has always looked like garbage to me.

[QUOTE="barom"]THE REAL TRUTHgizmo_logix

This "The Real Truth" is a complete lie. Am I the only one here who gets EGM? The EGM review said the controls Completely Sucked Hardcore.

If you want to hate EGM go ahead. But don't buy into these lies.

reading the posts there gave me a headache.

I know what you mean, I still want this game. But that made me feel iffy about it for the first time.
