Can you believe lair flopped that badly?

your late to the party, but welcome nevertheless

The game reminded me of a PS2 game I got as a gift a long time ago. When seeing the previews, I immediately thought of this...

it roughly got the same score too, 4.1

lol@ motion controls. Once again u prove my point that its stupid.

there was no reaction, really. it made no impact. unlike MP3 and Zelda.

I expected it to hit A at least and thought it would get higher than that considering it's Factor 5 we're talking about and the Rogue Squadron games' flight missions controlled well and I haven't encountered a single bug in their games.

Not even hitting A was a major disappointment given their experience.

Because cows like to be here to hype their games but disappear when it comes time for the game to actually stand up to the hype, as it naturally almost always fails to do, mostly since they just overhype everything they see. Then of course a game they once had pegged as GOTY AAA gets a 4.5/10, a flop of such enormous magnitude that it's difficult to properly grasp, and now they pretend that they don't care. :lol: Of course, if Lair had done well, they'd all of a sudden be caring. Gee. Warhawk got an 8.5 and there were 500 posts of cows bragging in the official review thread.

Yea, cows are crazy. They have been gone for a while though. I kinda miss people like Powercharged. They made things interesting.

although i dont own a PS3 i was looking forward to that game it looked awesome. I cant belive it floped so bad. its a shame they should have had better controls that game could have been awesomesonofabear17

Agreed, flying dragon combat sounded awesome. I thought it was going to be a semi-tempting reason to get a PS3. But alas, the wait continues

Old...now cows are hyping Haze :lol:xXMercenariOXx

i think your just jealous that it is not on your poor little 360 anymore . .lol

Much like how Lemmings are hyping an "intro movie"? Oh wait. That's in your sig. My bad. /sarcasm

Not bashing here or anything (I thought lair looked pretty good myself) but man everyone was talking 8.0 at least and when I saw today on the front page the lair review and saw4.5 I could'nt believe it, is anyone else still having trouble letting that sink in? I mean the game was practically made for the ps3's six-axis, it has'nt worked in many games so far so if its even not working in a game which is practically madewhat's the six-axis's future will it just become one of those little gimics they added in that never worked out or will they find something constructive to do with it?proud722

I am a Sony fan and support the PS3...but yeah, Lair flopped harder than anything I can remember. What was Factor Five thinking. The graphics are realy amazing, but wow.

i actually saw alot of promise in that game, i guess in the end the game was brokenmlbslugger86

Honestly, the game looks great. But as soon as I saw the first gameplay vids, I immediately thought "X Wings that shoot fire". I'm not even sure ifI really want to play the game. Just don't like the idea of having to use the motion control for flight. Feels unnatural. But then again, that's what I said about the Wii and I like it.

i saw almost all the vids for lair, for some reason it caught my eye, it just makes me mad that they sacrificed gameplay for pretty graphics.

I finished Lair today and in my book it's an 8.5 The game is very epic. And you know what....it's a lot more fun than Genji 2 and Full Auto 2 or for that matter Untold Legends Dark Kingdom and Spiderman 3. All the games I mentioned are not even close to Lair in terms of fun. Lair is so much superior in every aspect. But you know....GS is professional i guess!

Not a 4. Thats insane!

Gamespot mainly rated it by the camra controls and if there bad then thats a BIG minus, and the actual controling your character. Impatient learning curve? And the depth of the game is a minus. But depth doesn't matter for Gears.
