Speaking of flops, and the usual hype that preceds them (cause they go from being Highly acclaimed to getting Low reviews, hence the word "flop"...
I find it so absurd that when someone that works at Ign, etc. is previewing a game they hype it up, then 2 or 3 weeks later they give it a poor review! Whats the deal? Did the game all the sudden change so much for the worse?
Example from Lair...
Preview - "Lair is surprisingly easy to pick up and play, and piloting your dragon in the heat of a battle - with swarms of enemies bombarding you from every angle - becomes simple with practice. They're responsive too, and moves such as the quick 180-degree turn, executed by jolting the pad up, means that dogfighting soon becomes second nature." - IGN
Review - "You can jerk the controller to pull off a 180-degree turn, but like all of the Sixaxis controls, I found it horribly unresponsive. Eventually, I just gave up on it -- even though the game refused to let me and had me doing 180s and speed bursts (another wrist-flick move) against my will." - IGN
Whats the deal?!?!!?
