Well, what I got from the bad reviews for Lair sort of suggests that the problems with the game, although severe, aren't really integral to the game itself. As in, the game could be improved significantly by improving some fairly simple things like the control scheme, etc. Things that could be fixed with a patch, not problems with the actual design of the game itself (which is what costs a lot of money).
It seems like they would have been better off writing a patch that fixed the common complaints with the game rather than publishing this guide to attempt to explain them away.
