Well I made a thread earlier about Lair and Heavenly Sword flopping on several other sites, but the cows were denying that those games would flop on GS. Now that Lair flopped over here, what is your thoughts? This question is specially aimed towards those hyping the game AAA.

I think that people looked at its graphics and heard the audio and assumed the rest would follow which unfortunately it seems, it did not. That being said it accomplished the original goal of setting a new graphics standard as every review no matter how poor has praised it for the graphical fidelity.

From the Heavenly Sword hands-on I think it won't be a flop but as for Lair....I had high hopes for Lair, gameplay videos looked promising and I thought it would at least be an A, but for it to flop so hard, it's just really disappointing. Why didn't they just make the Sixaxis optional? It would have got a much higher score otherwise.
All we can hope from now on is that Lair teaches devs to either get sixaxis control a 1000% more responsive, or make it optional!

thing is that warhawk manages to nail sixaxsis control almost perfectly and also has the option to turn it off. i just dont get how the developers couldnt getlairs controls to work when they 'specialised it'. Just so stupid

Honestly? I feel bad for Factor 5. They always put tons of work into their games, and the reception that their latest effort is getting... ouch.

I dont feel bad for Factor 5...I mean they made a game that makes you use sixaxis normallny people go to hell for such things. All I wonder about is how much money they were paid to do that to their game.

No regular controls = epic failure. The game is a bust now, I hyped it AA going off some impressions but I didn't expect it to miss the mark by such a wide margin.

Looks amazing though.

I'm a sheep so my opinion doesn't really count, but what would you perfair? Flying a Dragon with crap sixas controls in a medevil game? or flying a Warhawk with the option of Dual analog sticks or better than Lair sixas controls? I think i'llgo for Warhawk thanks.

I think you're mistaken... Sheep don't exactly have good gameplay in excess on their system right now. You'll notice their mantra is "SALES ZOMG!" not "TEH GAMEPALY IS INCREDIBLE!"... Lemmings are the ones with the gameplay for the moment.

What i meant was how the sheep often say "the Wii's graphics can't compare witth the other consoles. Not that it matters. It's all about the gameplay"

The funny thing is the height of the Wiimote's "awsome" gameplay so far is Resisdent Evil 4: Wii edition and Wiisports ... pity that i already own Resisdent Evil 4 ... and Wiisports while being an excellent tech demo/free game it isn't exactly a system seller ...

My immediate thoughts are that you should correct the grammar in your thread title. Also there is a sticky on the top of the page :)

I never hyped it AAA. Never have with any game.

But think about this. How can ANY of us really know how a game will play? Yes, we all can watch gameplay trailers, watching someone else playing. But that still doesn't tell you how it plays. With that said its very, very hard to include gameplay within the hypage.

So, did Lair deliver visually? Yes. Did it deliver on story? Yes. Did it deliver on audio? Yes. Did it deliver on gameplay? No. So, was the hype wrong?

To me, I still need to play it. I've heard far too many people complain about six-axis on other games to take anybodiy's word for it. The controls take time. Most gamers are too lazy to take the challange and just want to be successful in a game right away. Will there be problems, oh yes. There's no doubt there will be issues.

This game delivered the bulk of its hype. It delivered on what the majority of the hype was based on, graphics, audio, and story.

Sad, wanted this game to be good.

Hoping Heavenly sword at least hits the 8.0 mark.
