Forums - Gaming - Is Lair worth $18.99?

 

 

Just wanting some advice from anyone who had experience with Lair.  I know it's a big flop, but Walmart's big anniversary sale is this weekend and Lair is on for $18.99.   What does everyone think?    Is there some good qualities to this title to justify a purchase? I'm always looking to expand the PS3 library, but i don't know about this one.   Any thoughts?

I am sure it is worth $20, regardless of reviews or opinion. It is still a PS3 game, and, from what I have heard and seen.....wasnt all that bad..........or was it????? Hmmmmmmm??



Sure it is. If it sucks, you can sell it back to a game store or pawn shop. In the end, it'll be about the same price as a rental. Go for it!



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Personally I would say no. A bad game isn't worth shit if it's not enjoyable. For the same price you can grab two quality titles off of PSN or any number of other quality discounted retail titles PS3 has to offer. In addition to that, if you have PS2 BC on your PS3, there are numerous quality games that can be purchased for the same or less than that.

This comes from someone that hasn't played Lair outside of a store demo, so don't weigh my opinion the same as someone that has played through the game. I just think you can spend $20 better than purchasing Lair.

God no. I wouldn't take that game if someone gave me $20.

There's a demo with the patched controls on the Hong Kong PS Store. Recommend you try it out first.



i played the game and enjoyed it, and i think you will too. all you have to do is get by the fact that the controls were alittle meh. but after a couple minutes of trial and error i had the controls down, although they still sometimes dont work the right way. heck i think even the controls have been patched now

the story was awesome, graphics were nice. you will like it!



Well I am not a PS3 owner but if you believe all the reviews of Lair I would think that there are better ways to spend your time. Wipeout HD has great reviews and is in the same price range, a bit cheaper really. I may be a bit biased as Wipeout is among my favorite PSP titles but what I am really saying is that your time is worth something in addition to your money and no matter how cheap a game is if it is bad then you can probably find a better way to spend your time.

I think people who never played this game (or for God's sake, don't even own the system) should absolutely restrain themselves from posting on this thread.



I bought this game for 10 bucks from a friend.. with the new improved control, it's not that bad a game. I'd give it 7. Not a game I will ever buy for full price, but for 20 bucks, it's worth giving it a try.

especially if you want a game to play.

I've played most of the game, and while I didn't hate it, I was glad that I just borrowed it from a friend. I can say that I did not enjoy the controls at all, though the rest of it was mildly entertaining (you know, flying around on dragons and killing other dudes on dragons.) So, you can give it a shot, it isn't the worst game ever, but you can do a lot better than Lair with your $20.
