Play's review scale is ****ed up. Score means nada. Takuhi's words are encouraging though.snack said:So, is this like 9/10 1up scale , or is Play's review scale ****ed up.

Most impressions have said the motion sensing system actually works well.Endow said:I'm curious about how the game actually plays, something that hasn't been given enough exposure in previews as opposed to visuals.

the game is pushed back to October
It's coming out in October for Europe, this seems to have confused so many people, as it's till on schedule for an August 14th release in America.Mammothtank said:Where was this announced? I thought it was still on target for next month?
Son of Godzilla said:Bad art or not, I meant that Halo 3's art style has nothing in common with Lair's. Whereas the dragons in Lair look suspiciously similar to Locusts.
Pure senseless bable, luckily you realized how far out you had come on deep water and changed your post to a personal attack instead.Son of Godzilla said:Jesus shit who cares.

That's all.

PepsimanVsJoe said:Definitely not PLAY magazine. Hell I'd actually put Famitsu over them in terms of trustworthy reviews.
I mean no disrespect to LAIR as I think it looks incredible but PLAY isn't fit to review different brands of toilet paper let alone videogames.
The written impressions are encouraging, and moreso since it was Casey and not some of the more...frothing...writers at Play, but it wouldn't be the first or last time that Play has glossed problems because they enjoyed a game so much.VonGak! said:Also for the written impressions? If there's one thing I have learned then it's the score means nothing no matter which site it comes from and one can only rely on the combined written impressions.
If any, the score are only good for console wars.
If play loves it, then it might not be good. 9.5 for Sonic 2006, 8.5 for Bullet Witch, 9.0 for Monster Madness... and all three of those games were torn a new one elsewhere. Never forget.Speevy said:I'm still holding out hope that it's not very good. I'll choose to ignore this review, thank you very much.

Shompola said:lol you people remember the 10/10 reviews brute force was getting the first review week? Yah I have feeling LAIR has the same fate there. Ohh and about the graphics, the problem aren't the indivual parts, it's the complete package that looks very cluttered. Their artistic direction is pretty non existant in that department.

You know, I'm going to remind all of you guys of this when Play gives NiGHTS 2 a 10/10, followed by giving Halo 3 and Killzone 2 7/10s.Kintaro said:One that fits how they really want a game to turn out. Pretty much the way it is on GAF.
Because you're not articulate enough to convince me it shouldn't be defended. What does WW2 and brown have to do with each other anyway?tdrdrgn said:but why defend it?
tdrdrgn said:but why defend it? it really looks like poo. they could of done something like brother in arms.
its takes place during ww2( i don't know) but its not brown and gritty. i also think gears was a little bit too brown but it showed a little variety. post some links to lair that brings out the color. all ive seen were brown ones.

People have already posted a ton of pics that showed off the colours in the game. Check the last couple pages.tdrdrgn said:but why defend it? it really looks like poo. they could of done something like brother in arms.

Go find pictures yourself. But I already know you have made up your mind. So, don't even bother.

Well, what I've been getting at this whole thread is that Play's reviews don't mean anything, one way or the other. I'm fully expecting Lair to be an 8-9/10 game, but I'm not going to accept Play's word as confirmation, and nobody who is familiar with Play and has half a brain should, either.Kintaro said:You know what you'll see right? Universal praise for Play on their Nights 2 review, and pure hatred for those Halo 3/Killzone 2 reviews.
Personally, I don't give a shit about the scores. I want to read the review. I actually like Play for the most part, but pay absolutely no attention to the scores. If the review is written like dogshit, I'll gleefully slam it.
But this is GAF, home of the riot that ensued over an 8.8. Imagine the doom and gloom if Super Mario Galaxy doesn't receive 10s everywhere.

With other mags, I'd just say "read the words, not the score", but Play's enthusiasm tends to permeate even the words of their reviews. If you love something, you have trouble seeing its flaws, and Play in general seems to love a lot.
