I'm not warning you, but lair is really disappointing

I almost buy a ps3 for this game until I played lair in person yesterday.

the demo graphics reminds me of 3dmark03, especially the water effects.not bad, but also not impressive.

the biggest problem is the framerate. I can't describe how many framerate, but when the low framerate can affect my controll and shooting, you can imagine how bad it is.

also the enemy AI , I can say it's not like a war , but some target practice game.:D

ps: I played it at china CJ

Lair has lost most of its hype due to the hype of Heavenly Sword. Isnt lair running on 1080p?? if so a 8 on GS will get this game sold for me graphics still look amazing.

In my experience, cutscenes from Lair have always looked good, and gameplay from Lair has always looked bad - in my opinion. Lair will probably score a 7-something. Heavenly Sword will most likely be the game to wait for if you own a PS3.

Have I ever seen wild fanboys post things that aren't true? Yes. (not saying he is one but you know what I mean). Hard to trust people I barely know on a message boardover my most trusted videogame site on the internet. And yes, most of the times previews are poitive, but not as positive as this one was, which makes me believe it more so.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I think the opinion of a professional video game journalist holds a little more weight than some random internet guy.

I've seen all the previews and watched a lot of footage. Lair looks promising.

ok, I can only decribe my feeling. you know the gear of war is 30fps, I can still feel a few lags occasionally., not too much.

in lair, I can estimate the lowest framerate is around 10-15 .

I'd say the character models look ok(definitely downgraded though), but the enviroments are rather dull. We'll see if Factor 5 still has their touch, considering they haven't made a truly good game since 2001. Eh I've kinda lost my confidence in them after they abandoned the Rogue Squadron series after that botched Rebel Strike(thanks to the bad on-foot missions).

who cares. The only way I would care is if it flopped and cows said they never hyped it. That would be classical.

His opinion is valid, no matter what you say/think.

I find that every Gamespot preview only has positive things to say, then the review totally contradicts it.

Yeah, and the reviews aren't much either.

You lost credibility when you started talking about framerate. I know for a fact that it has none.

It would have been funnier if you brought up an older thread where everyone first saw lair and was screaming AAA.
