its cause lair was really hyped up. they even made a commercial for it with that dragon cracking the walls and dropping into the white room.

"An abomination of a videogame that doesn't even deserve a rental. Stay far away from this one--though if you get close, the enemies probably won't even see you."
All platforms have there terrible letdowns, but rarely are they as high profile as Lair was.
SpartanFX said: Honestly It's getting old,,,PS3 had one exclusive that was a dissappointment (also known as lair).The average review score from 32 reviews was 6.1 (http://n4g.com/ps3/games/g-21843/tt/metareviews.aspx ) . The game was hyped as the game to show the PS3 was the most powerful system. It was supposed to show off the PS3 the way the Rogue Squadron games showed off the N64 and the Gamecube. This doesn't make the bashing right. It's just the excuse for the bashing. I don't see people constantly bashing 360 due to some of its bad exclusives like Kingdom under fire:COD which got 5.8 from 34 reviews ( http://n4g.com/xbox360/games/g-21500/tt/metareviews.aspx ) Duh. It's the RRoD and low sales in Japan they bash it for. so Kingdom under fire was rated below Lair and yet I don't see anyone bashing 360 for it ,,,,,, Most of us don't even know of Kingdom Under Fire. but why is it that whenever people want to bash PS3 ,they bash it based on dissappointment of Lair?? That is not whenever it is brought up. There are plenty of excuses made to bash the PS3. Now I am NOT stating I approve of bashing (I have personal reasons to be against bashing). Yet I'm a realist, so I'm not going to deny that bashing happens. |
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

It was on pc too and Idk. Ask the people who bought it for the review because they were the only people who did. It's shovelware so what the ps2 had alot of it. Now when a game is hyped like lair they aren't going to reach expectations because everybody would expect more than a single game could give. I played lair before while I think its a bad game idk its as bad as people say.

On this board Lair was heralded as the saviour of the PS3. It was going to be the game that turned everything around. When it released PS3 domination began. All of this was based on how pretty the game looked and a few positive previews from gaming magazines. Seems another game that is supposed to be released this year fits that bill as well... Anyways, that is why it is trumpeted out so much. After having to listen to how great the game must be with no real evidence for months you have to expect some backlash. That is a lesson all fanboys should take to heart regardless of console.

Well that means a lot of the Wii's library are unjustly criticized because they're higher than 5/10, like Mario and Sonic and many other games that have good sales yet seemily don't "deserve" it. Thanks for clarifying.
Chicken Shoot, Ninjabread Man, Vampire Rain... These games all have one thing that Lair doesn't.
They delivered on their hype.

QFT, just because a game gives you hard on from how pretty it looks doesn't mean you should jump in bed with it right away. It might have a disease and you'll have to live with that mistake for the rest of your life.

It's because Lair was so hyped by PS3 fanboys, Ditto Heavenly Sword (It's a short, average game, but utter crap imo because it was tilted as the Next gen God Of War).
That's why I shut down KZ2 fanboys that say the game is the real deal before they even play the retail copy, because if it gets hyped like the former 2 games were, even if it were a good game (like HS), it'll be crap because people were saying it's the Halo Killer.
I'm glad uncharted wasn't so overly hyped, it turned out great, gameplay wasn't dead on (shooting mechanics and AI that was just the game throwing legions of enemies at you) but because I didn't play it with any expectations going in, it was a great experience.
