Forums - Gaming - Sony UK PR Compares Skyrim with Lair

In an interesting turn of events, Sony UK PR manager, Hugo Bustillos compared Skyrim to Lair and expressed disappointment that people didn’t see much value in Lair. In case you don’t know what Lair is, it was a PS3 exclusive released a few years ago and featured Dragons… and a lot of them.

I don’t get all this love for Skyrim and dragons. Where were all you people when Lair needed you? I guess it was just ahead of its time…” he said.

He also said that the game was misunderstood, and people should have given it a lot more credit. I don’t know whether he is serious or not, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard and Skyrim is the better game in so many ways, it’s just inarguable.

The Dragons of Skyrim bring a new dimension to the game, and it’s actually quite effective the way Bethesda has woven it into the main story.

In Lair, while the Dragon riding gameplay mechanic was fun, the controls were so broken that it basically killed the game.

The entire comparison with Skyrim seems a bit absurd because both are different games from different developers and genres. Besides, you can check out what makes Skyrim so good in our review here.

O Sony, u so funny!



I haven't played Lair but don't you ride dragons instead of fighting them? I'm surprised he didn't bring up the Spyro games.



Signature goes here!

LMAO

That is pure PR gold

Comparing Lair to Skyrim is like comparing Soldier of Fortune: Payback to Halo 3, the differences are just massive.



WHAT?!

Remember PR people don't live in the same world as the rest of us.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Where was I when Lair released?

I don't know, playing good games and avoiding bad games. Same as today, nothing's changed.



That's ridiculous. For one thing, Lair wasn't crippled by game-ending bugs. Everyone quit before the end of their own volition.



Whats so "absurd" about the comparision? He's talking about the dragons....
He didn't say Lair was better than Skyrim, he said the game deserved a lot more credit.

Been on multiple sites reporting on this story. Most of the comments are like "How dare he compare this game to my precious Skyrim?" Its ridiculous how big of a deal people are making out of this.



I haven't played Skyrim or Lair, but such is my disinterest in Skyrim that I think I'd rather try out Lair just to see how bad the controls really are.
