Forums - Sony Discussion - Is Lair for the PS3, that bad of a game?

Again why is being similar to RS a bad thing?


I certainly didn't, I haven't even played Rogue Squadron.

The fact of the matter is I don't have to look at the videos because I've actually played both games. Have you?


Are you so slow? I think based on my comments you can easily come to the correct conclusion.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, WipeOut and Motorstorm are good racing games, but even by just looking at their gameplay videos you can easily judge they are very different apart from being racing games.

Are you slow? I've said that I've played all the RS games and Lair, and that in my experience they are far more similar then you are claiming.

Just because its dragons and not space ships doesn't mean that the core gameplay and game mechanics aren't very similar, because they are. Hell, you've had someone say that things as simple as the medal system and menus are practically the same, but still you persist.

And you still haven't explained why being so similar to RS is a bad thing. (you messed up the quotes IMO)

Back to original poster - In reality, you're right, that does follow my advice, though I'm also highly opposed to giving EB games money.

So I apologize for the offensive, at least in relating to your design, but still stand by my original point!

So far the game seems to have sold around 250K for the North America and Japan:

I wonder has many copies have been sold for Europe (/rest of the World).

250k is dismal sales for a game that cost over $25 million.

Hasn't HS sold more than this? I know at launch Lair was selling better than the good PS3 titles such as Warhawk and I think HS, but I guess its craptasticness caught up with it.
