Doubtful. In the recent video podcast, all three of the people that were in the Heavenly Sword segment gushed over it. The only complaint they had was the hair.

Much farther away from the final game than they did in this case, but yes, sort of.

Edit: You do realize standards change over time, McDragon? Not to mention the fact different people review each game. That DQ review is not necessarily representative of the same group that reviewed BD. (I do disagree with their review though. DQ8 was a 7.0 at best.)

is lair further proof that a lot of traditional games do not require motion controls?

While Factor 5 may have not implemented it perfectly ... if any 'traditional' game made sense to use motion controls ... a game where you fly dragons seems to be one of them IMO.

Whats on the cover for this month, Halo 3?

Mario Strikers summary...?
Click to expand...

yes, halo 3 cover.

mario strikers:
it's not really a soccer game so much as a hockey game with a soccer-like sheen. it's got body-checking, etc. it's "messier," in that it's more chaotic and arcadey than the gcn game. the new "sidekicks" are awesome, and have their own special moves. the motion-sensing controls add to the gameplay, not f*** it up. "over the top but balanced gameplay"

Hey, it was Blimblim's GoTY 2006. Are you implying he has bad taste as well? :p

Is the slowdown in the demo the type of slowdown to expect in the full game?

If so, it is in no way an AAA game.

Hey guys, air-based games on consoles that aren't called Ace Combat (or maybe Starfox if it doesn't suck) don't sell.

I just hate the way it looks. Factor 5 is the one that (apparently) messed up its gameplay.

And had PS3 fans not gushed over Lair due to it's exclusivity, they would have seen it a mile away. This game had mediocre stamped on it's forehead.

actually sad to say but i sort of got caught up in the hype when i saw the Epicness of the last trailer.


Eventhough i knew it was made by Factor 5 :( and i had got burned by their games before.

Yeah, the full game has slowdown and tearing in battle. Since it's turn-based it doesn't affect the actual gameplay, but it is a downer. It hurts the visual presentation a bit, but yeah...

You can check the official thread where I complained about the slowdown/tearing A LOT and DCharlie said it was all in my mind or my X360 was broken. But even though I complained about all that stuff, by the end I loved the game as did pretty much everyone else in the thread who finished it.

For the most part people just liked how technically impressive it was. It's always gotten mixed impressions.

Something tells me MS rather get rid of their existing lot of Premiums and Cores. Elites are hard to come by and if I wanted to guess, I would guess they lose more money on Elite than Premium. But who knows.

sigh.

5 is AVERAGE.

Everything that's not excellent is bad for me. I dont like to spend my money on AVERAGE games.

BTW, any word about the frame rate? Might still pick it up as a tech showcase if they fixed that.

What does some minor slowdown in a turn based battle system have to do with BD not being an AAA game?

Too many great games this fall to waste money on the average ones.
I truly want probably three times the amount of games that I can afford this fall.

And Lost Odyssey might not have ground breaking gameplay, but at least the story/characters are more interesting than BD and ES.
