Forums - Sony - Lair: What a wasted opportunity

I got it for $20 used at Gamestop. It's not terrible but definetely not good.

Lair came straight from hell. Must be one of the worse things on this planet

I deeply regret that i bought it and i think that not even trophies will get this crap inside my beautiful console again. Only reason it's still in one piece is that my cousin might buy it when he gets a ps3. If he changes his mind i don't care, i'm giving it away for free, maybe he'll do me a favor someday, or try to kill me.

Great shot.  Perhaps you should read my post instead of posting something completely irrelevant.  I'll quote myself since you were to lazy to actually read through the thread.

"...I was dumbfounded it looked so "EGA Waterfall" that I LOLd at it.  Later, we see high res dragons and I think wow, that looks great."  You know, High. Resolution.  Dragons.  Kind of like the picture of the one you posted.

is it that bad? is the story any good?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Yes, it is, and not really.  The story is OK, I guess, but the voice acting is pretty bad which spoils it to some degree.  The "monologues" at the beginning of each stage are interesting but that's about it.  Every thing I saw was pretty much cliche.

No, he said a background effect looked PS2-era--can you read?

"Occasionally, we can see (and hear) what the PS3 is capable of but then they throw PS2-era graphics in our face and provide highly annoying voice-acting that will tell you what you should be doing."

I don't see anything about the background's graphics in that statement, so it seems like you're the one who can't read, or rather, you're only interpreting it how you like

 



Don't Worry. factor 5 is now working for Nintendo again. I think the next game (wii ikarus) will be AAA-Title :)



as a very big fan of Panzer Dragoon1/2/Saga I was severly disappointed by Lair aswell..

I played the demo they have at the hong kong store and the controls just felt like they are trying to make the game annoying and unfun .. graphically it's quite nice though
