Lair patch is up

[Melfice7]

For those who care the patch is up, analog controls and a crosshair

[depward]

Well I'll be!

[Dante]

Would be interested in hearing impressions. Too bad I traded in my copy

[Core407]

I'll be here when people start complaining about the game instead.

[Costanza]

It's 29.99 at Target on clearance if anyone wants to pick it up (again).

[Alphahawk]

I eagerly await impressions....

[Aladuf]

Holy shit really? I was thinking about grabbing this finally when the patch was out.

[Kolgar]

Ah, cool. I didn't mind the motion controls much--in fact, I rather enjoyed them--but I got to a tricky level (attack the castle in the ice land or whatever) and I think I may fare better with my trusty analog sticks.

This functionality should have been in the original game, though.

[FabCam]

Is the core game that bad? If I can find it cheap, I might buy it. It looks gorgeous and apparently the musical score is amazing.

[Mejilan]

[Ranger X]

Sweet. Will probably grab some used copy from some bin.

[Captain Pants]

God damn me for thinking about re-purchasing this game. It was so pretty, but soooo broken.

[fistfulofmetal]

Now it's a solid 5.0!

[inthezone]

The game is still 59.99 in most places. My copy (along with my old 60GB PS3) was stolen a while ago. I have a 80GB PS3 now but no way in hell Im paying full price for this.

I liked the game (I got up til Mission 7 I think). Id pay 29.99 for it for sure. Its not as bad as people would lead you to believe.

[Cardon]

Guess I'll finally put Lair back in my PS3 for the first time since September.

[Nemesis556]

I remember back when we found out it could be played via Remote Play on the PSP but without the sensor controls, that it was a pretty decent game. Any weight to those statements?

[BobTheFork]

Great! Time for a replay. But, how do I get it? The store is still down and I'm not prompted for an update when i load lair

[anddo0]

It's 29.99 at Target on clearance if anyone wants to pick it up (again).

I bought a copy over the weekend for full price too :|
I'll just open it, buy a copy from Target and get my money back from GS

[bud]

i heard the final boss is a mountain

[BeeDog]

Oh man, new impressions will be hilarious. "Bu-bu-bu now the game is fuck-awesome wiz teh analogs!" or some stupid shit like that.

[nib95]

Awesome. I borrowed the game from my store, and think the visuals and sense of scale are amazing. Controls need work, and the animations are weak, but with this new patch, can't wait to try it again.

[rhfb]

Time to rent it then

I don't care how awesome the game might have been in the first place. The motion controls I find are ultra shitty and I've never played a game that made them feel right.

[Ello]

I'll download it when I buy Lair for 10$.

[nofi]

It's 147MB, taking Lair to 2.10 - is that the one?

[a.wd]

wow apologists assemble! hee

I might pick this up, uk cheap places anyone?

[Mammothtank]

I beat the game about a month ago. Fairly enjoyable, but by the end, it was clear the developers had very little ambition. The storyline could have been more than, people thought of as savages attack your city, you retaliate, kill babies and puppies, cry, side with your former enemy and kill a preacher, game over. The potential for this game was enormous but in the end, Factor 5 didn't want to make an adventure...they wanted to make a shooter...*sigh*

[ZeroTolerance]

wait i thought the store was down ?

[user friendly]

wait i thought the store down ?

In game patch?

[Wollan]

Tech is amazing but somewhat problematic. Soundtrack was fantastic. I think this update should push it to a solid 7 by most standards.

[GQman2121]

If the game is below the Target price used at GS I might use that 25% deal they're offering right now on PS3 games. $20 is my sweet spot, but I'd pay a little more if the impressions are favorable.

[nofi]

In game patch?

Yeah, downloading now.

[Lord Error]

i heard the final boss is a mountain

It actually is. And it's one of the better looking levels in the game!

[Totobeni]

Great! Time for a replay. But, how do I get it? The store is still down and I'm not prompted for an update when i load lair

same here i put the game into my PS3 and there is nothing ,the patch message should appear right after the first black screen/SCE logo , i also go to Network option and still no patch

[BobTheFork]

I didn't get prompted when I started the gam.

Which version do you have - maybe I'm just downloading an older patch, been a while since I played it...

[nib95]

I just clicked on the game to load and it started downloading the patch. 147mb. At 22% already in like 30 seconds to a minute.

gee thanks :|

[Crayon]

Hmm. If that Target price is true today I may pick it up.

I have a strong feeling I will regret it. I'm almost positive that it will be a waste of 30 dollars. But I'm probably going to do it anyway. Yes. I think I'm going to go with my loser intuition and act against my better judgment.

Lair, here I come.

[nofi]

Yep, mine's done, super fast. I now have analog flight controls!

Impressions, give them to us as soon as you can!

[Onix]

Yeah, I'd like to hear impressions ... especially from anyone that didn't particularly like it originally.

[Melfice7]

Bit of impressions, the game feels tighter, the targeting is slightly better due to crosshair, left d pad = U turn, right d pad = dash (although you can still use the motion control to do a U turn but can't make a dash though)

Definitly more enjoyable this way

[nofi]

That would be me, but the wife's watching something about some cyclist and some spiders on the TV. Be at least an hour, I'm afraid.

[Lord Error]

gee thanks :|

Don't worry, it's not what you probably think it is. it's not a live mountain or anything magical like that. You're just plugging several volcanic holes in a mountain

[GQman2121]

Looks like it's back up to normal price NEW at Target........I'll pass for the time being.

[Jim]

Is this gonna skew those leaderboards a lil bit? (sold my copy looong ago)

[RuGalz]

Any framerate or mission flow improvements? That's a huge patch. I'd actually consider at least checking it out again if they fixed both.

[BobTheFork]

No patch yet, nothing.

[Costanza]

I saw copies today on clearance

[IzumiK]

So uh... where's the update?

I fired up the game... and nothing auto happening.

Must be only the Euro versions. Odd.

BAH!
