That is dissapointing. A game flopping should not be applauded. A company releasing a dud is not good for gamers.
I think we should hold a minutes silence for the game that could have been...

Only gamers it hurt was the cows. Does not effect Lemmings or sheep at all. For example lemmings just got a AAA game so those gamers are doing just fine.
Yeah, how does Lair flopping hurt gaming in general at all? Games have been flopping since the start of gaming, and the only game who's floppage has ever actually hurt the industry was E.T. Lair is pretty bad, but I don't think it's E.T.
If anything, games like Lair flopping so hard with games like Bioshock being a massive success will only tell developers and publishers that we won't stand for unoriginal garbage. And that's only good for gaming.
It's just one game, really shows maturity level of so called Lemmings who are more of a console bashers than cows I have observed in past few days. String-Fellow
If your such an observer, you would know, most hyped AAA titles on the PS3 are flopping like pancakes lately.
Wow. Official hype was AA, with a relatively strong base of Lair-fans here claimiing AAA (and many agreeing until the time came for the hype thread)...
Factor 5 hasn't made a decent game in ages (GameCube's Rogue Leader 1 was pretty to look at and pretty good, but Rogue Leader 2 was trash), so this is no surprise. Not only was this game hyped, but Factor 5 itself was hyped when the announced they do PD3 exclusively, then made press releases trashing Xbox360, all of this was cheered by the cows. lol
Well, Factor 5 knows graphics, but they sure don't know games. :lol:

Professor Layton dares to differ. Factor 5 is amazing, I blame the PS3 for this! :P
no, not really...
Professor Layton is developed by Level 5 not Factor 5.
Yeah, its pretty safe to call this a flop now. No need to even wait for the GS review, really. However I'm still not really sure how IGN could give it a 7.5 in graphics, unless the framerate was incredibly inconsistent.

I think Bioshock0wnz has the game and was saying earlier that the framerate is terrible.

Shame they couldn't fix the framerate. Cell processor FTW?
Factor 5 is one of the very few devs that knows Wii's hardware inside and out, so the visuals would hold up(making it trick you Lair is running on next-gen hardware), and the wiimote is a MUCH MUCH better fit than the tacked on gimmick on six axis. Wii is also more popular too.
Wii could've had a solid game in their library, instead of a flop in the PS3's.
I'm all for this. Shame that Gamespot won't score it 4.9 too because that'd seal the deal...
I miss the .1 system :cry:
I'm telling you guys this new system was put in place for the casual audience. It's more simple. Even the new layout and font looks too simple and plain.:cry:

The new .5 rating system made sense when you considered their reasoning for it, I guess. But I'm sorry, the whole emblem thing just screams "casual newb attention-grabber". Why have an emblem for "great story" when you can simply note that in the review and properly discuss it? To give people even less of a reason to read the review?
Nobody ever even talks about how many positive or negative emblems a game got when a review comes out, much less what they even were. Emblems are something I would've honestly expected from a publication the likes of Maxim magazine. No offense, and stuff.
I find this extremely funny, not because it was officially hyped as AA by cows, but because of what Factor 5 said about the 360 and developing for it. It just wasn't powerful enough to handle their amazing game :lol: If this is what they can produce then, please don't develope for the 360...or anyone for that matter :lol:
I'm really not surprised. Some cows were silly enough to hype this at all, there was one or two cows hyping it GOTY, but smart cows and anyone who is'nt a hardore cow knew this game would be bad.
I always feel bad for someone who gives a PS3 exclusive a bad score. If he guy who wrote that decided to see how his review went down by reading the comments he'd take a huge blow to his ego, what with all the "this review is crap and you are crap" comments.
Preatty bad for cows. Altough im not a cow this title seemed promising to me and i tought it would atleast get AA i tought the same about Blue Dragon altough i don't like JRPGS i guess i phail at predicting scores lol.
We don't need to wait for Gamespots late and poorly written review to know THIS GAME is TOAST. Hopefully they won't make a sequel to such a disgusting flop.
