LAIR a must buy- Kotaku

http://kotaku.com/gaming/impressions/sloppy-seconds-+-lair-292997.php

This guy seemed to like it quite a bit and went as far as to say it's a must buy.

i goig nto cause trouble. Man these games are getting mixed reviews.

But it doesn't matter, when we can only go by GS's review here. ;)

I'm gonna be picking it up too, it looks so good, and I think I can get used to the sixaxis controlssimulation

...because as long as graphics are good, you'll compromise having a good gameplay experience, right?

lol no, but fighting with dragons in the skies, and then aldning to jsut demolish armies, sounds cool, and I liked the story too, ya im not some fanboy I actually have looked into this game

um.....

I'm a cow and can admit this game has a pretty broken control scheme....

I don't know about this one.

Have you played it so you can make that claim? I'm still skeptical about the game though. Probably a rental first and if its good i'll buy it.

Yeah I figured the people complaining about the controls were just full of crap. Lazy_Boy88

so one person's opinion based on 15 minutes of mid-conference play is enough to dismantle full reviews? wow.

And yet another PS3 review that continues to confuse me lol.

I give up. I'm just buying what I want. Reviewers are very inconsistent with the PS3 line up of games. I don't know why that is...bit just seems to be blatant for every new release.

No, he meant just what he said. That he will take the time to master the controls because the game overall appeals to him, and I agree. Besides, did you not read what the guy from Kotaku said? He said that Lair "nails the motion controls." He also said that he was able to pick on the controls right off, and that they were very tight and responsive. He has not been the first one to say this either. Therefore, it is apparent that the game got some low marks just because some people simply did not like the controls.....it does not mean that they suck for everyone though. As is clearly evidenced in this Kotaku write-up.

Either the game will appeal to you, or it will not. And just because it does not appeal to you, does that necessarily mean that the gameplay will suck for everyone else as well? I think not. As based on the mixed reviews of this game, it is becoming all too clear that the controls are not that bad. It is just merely coming down to either loving it and finding an appreciation for the new controls, or hating it with a lingering wanting for analog controls.

This personal preference for control schemes does not mean that it out rightly just "sucks" though. As there will be plenty of people who will love this game for more than just it's graphics, as is once again evidenced by this write up. As he clearly states that the game is so Epic that it easily gives you that feeling of being part of a war. Let's see....that impression sure seems to be based on a little more than just pretty graphics to me. Bottom line, do not impose your sour impressions upon what someone else has an interest in just because "you assume" that the game will be bad.

The demo of Lair is a splice together of different aspects of the game. According to the people at 1up it is much much better than the final product (listen to the latest 1up yours podcast).cakeorrdeath

indeed. ...and did you hear the IGN PS3 editors talking about this game? It was like they were embarassed to even say "Lair". like the game is so bad, it makes them uncomfortable to talk about. :shock:

so when did Gamespot's forums not become about debate and discussion? just because you don't like my opinion doesn't mean I need to stop voicing it. thankskbye.

indeed. but you know it's bad when those guys are obviously disgusted by the game. and i wonder if they got to play the final build of HS. None of those guys were the ones reviewing it, so who knows.

I think you are skewing what he said. he said it looks good, first of all. That could mean anything, not just graphics. I can watch a video of a game and form an opinion on whether or not the gameplay "looked" good.

Second, he said he would "get used to" the six axis controls. That says nothing about the gameplay being bad. I, personally, like the six-axis. I used it with Motorstorm and I use it with Nascar, both of which give you the option. If simulation is of the same thought, he is saying he just needs some time with the game and he'll have it down. Meaning, there's no issue with gameplay.

Most people hate on the six-axis for various reasons. Because of that Lair is going to get trashed. Says nothing about the game and its gameplay though. Just shows the lack of faith in the six-axis. And that, is merely opinion.

I have no problem with you voicing your opinion, lol. You just were telling the guy he wanted the game just for graphics only, as if you know for a fact that the gameplay will just flat out suck for everyone....which of course you don't.

Thanks, Bye.

Too many games now a days are getting hyped on an almost purely graphical basis.

in the biased U.S. market where MS can pay to turn the tide of the console war, people seem to focus their respect of games on first person shooters and frames per second for games. Glad to see someone mix it up a bit. blitzinger123
