that's exactly what I was gonna post.

its too late but at lease they going to release it for people who wants to play it, anyways i read somewhere that theres going to be lair 2, is that true???

sucks

Why did it take so long? This game was released months ago in the summer and they intend to release it "in the coming months"? It makes no sense.

... but i would still need to be pretty board to do it.

This game bites even with a patch

Lair will be the game, at the end of the Ps3's life cycle, everyone will wish they experienced. It's going to be the Troll 2/Blood Hook/Boarding house of videogames... It's not so much that it's a bad product, it's just simply misunderstood.

Anyone who passed Lair up were too busy sticking their heads up EGM, Joystick, Kotaku, Destructoid and many others @$$'s... That's my take. Lair plays very well and the learning curve is taught to you over time... not all at once.

The game is awesome and easily under appreciated by everyone. The thing is, Factor 5 and Sony aren't going to be willing to just say "here's a patch" it's fixed...

I don't think so, anyways. I think they're going to want to re-release the game under a "special edition" version at a cut price. That way new consumers think it's "NEW" and not just lair on the store shelves.

needs a lock-on patch thats for sure...I hope this will let me play the game straight through in remote play, if so then it's a great patch

Donkey sh!t stays donkey sh!t

With or without a control patch.

Average rated 54%. It might become 56% with some better controls though.

Lair was never that bad. Screw reviewers. Play it yourself and judge. Anyone with the motor skills of a 5 year old can play the game well and have fun.

Dark Sniper is glad to hear this news,Lair has a high chance of hitting AAA status with this new patch,the only flaw in Lair were the SIXAXIS controls,other than that everything was perfect,great storyline,beautiful sountrack and SUPERB graphics,the only people who though Lair was a bad game were those filthy Xbox fanboys who have yet to even experience the power of PLAYSTATION®3,it looks like Dark Sniper will be replaying Lair for the second time,he can't wait,and he believes with this new patch,more copies of the stellar game known as Lair will sell due to better controls,along with more PLAYSTATION®3 consoles

$niper

But I've been proven wrong before. If the control patch comes out, I'll give the game another shot.

Im going to go buy this game..

Can be brutal. Just imagine if you tried to create something new and innovative, spent your time and energy on it just to have it torn apart by the media and gaming fanatics.

I know its a tough business, but sometimes people can really go above and beyond when they could just demonstrate their dissatisfaction in a more civilized way. I think it did hold some water the excuse that hard core gamers probably weren't use to the motion controls and that made it more difficult, and thought I fell into that category, I would never say the game was horrible, it just wasn't my cup of tea at the time.

People should really watch what they say about games and how they bad mouth them in the media. In the end, someone spent some time and effort on it and though its hit or miss, its still an effort. Just my thoughts.

Hope the patch works out for Factor 5, perhaps though the game has a bad rep among people who already played it, maybe new people to the system will find this game cheaper and an excellent way to experience something different in the next gen.

They're still working on this POS game? How pathetic...

Too little WAY to late.

that if I cannot get a grip of the "Sixaxis" controls, I have an option to play old school.

just admit it, guys: the controls were terrible.

i bought Lair day one. played it all week, finally beat it.

i enjoyed the motion controls, to be honest, but they were not, by a long shot "perfect."

controlling the dragon is simple enough, and the most fun. dashing is also a lot of fun to do, but when you start getting into the more complicated tasks like doing 180s, attacking enemies, and pulling off the motion based combos, it gets sloppy.

i plugged in a PC controller to my PS3 and played Lair for a few minutes using analog controls. it felt *MUCH better, even though, by the time i beat the game, i was a friggin dragon riding *MASTER.

choice is always a good thing, and a lot of the complaints hurled at Lair centered around the control (i find it funny that most of the complaints for the PS3's "heavy hitters" last year centered around one, generally miniscule complaint that was blown out of proportion, ie, Heavenly Sword's length).

Lair does most of the fundamentals right:

1. Graphics - Lair is gorgeous, hands down. The dragons look great, the water effects are great, the scope of the world is *FANTASTIC. It has a wonderful Lord of the Rings vibe to it, and i felt like i was on a Nazghul, ripping through soldiers.

2. Story - The story is very cinematic and epic. i was never bored, and always wanted to continue on.

3. Sound - The sound in this game is *FANTASTIC also. the music, the sound effects, the voice acting; all quality.

4. Gameplay - Considering that you are on the dragon 99.9% of the time in the game, i'd say the gameplay is pretty solid. i enjoyed most of the missions (except for one particular mission about a third of the way through that's just insanely difficult due to multiple and time-based objectives, and the controls fight against you fiercely here), and the environments are varied enough that you are always seeing something new throughout the 15 missions (i *LOVED the prison level. beautiful).

the controls are where that score comes down (though not as harshly as the reviewers brought it down; i'd give it a 7/10, and if you add the patch for analog controls, add an additional 1-1.5 points to that score). you may have thought the controls were "perfect," but a *LOT of other people did *NOT, and they should have the option to play the game in the manner that is the most comfortable to them.

Warhawk, for example, has *EXCELLENT motion controls, but some people prefer the analog sticks (i use the analog sticks for Warhawk, but that's only because sometimes i just want to let my fingers to the talking). they should have that freedom of choice, and if they one day decide to give the motion controls a try, that's great too. at least they have the option.

i enjoyed Lair the way it was, but i would certainly welcome analog controls. i'd rebuy the game for that (and improved PSP connectivity).

Nice to hear. I was going to rent this game to try it out, so I'll wait for the patch. I heard good things about it from my friends who played it.

NOOO i just returned it to blockbuster!!!

They still trying to revive this dying horse? What about the patch to fix the horrible AI, freezeups, terrible lock-on, framerate, etc...

in a few months? So that could mean it takes a whole year for such a simple ix to such a big problem?

they probably should have released it earlier, pretty sure lair will be forgotten in this years games

Lair's concept and look has always interested me, but I stayed away because of the controls. If they do indeed patch this then I will be buying it for sure.

I owned lair, beat lair, Yea the patch would of been handy months ago. But got a nice trade in for it. Good Game, could of been great..... Best Graphics of any game when it came out.

and now I realy could buy it. this was my most anticipated game, but becuse of bad reviews and control problems I pass over. I hope that patch will make things better

I still enjoy playing it, i never regret for buying it!
I don't care for a patch, I love it as is but it is good move from factor5 to release it because this great game deserves more sales.

I actually got the hang of the controls after an hour or two of playing, but after a couple more hours realized that Lair's problems go much deeper. The game is fundamentally flawed from a design perspective, though certainly not enough to warrant a "4/10". I could understand a 6/10 as a middling score, but it's not an utter failure. It had its moments, it just had a disproportionate amount of frustrating moments.

That being said, if a patch is released I would seriously consider renting it again. I'll give it a few more chapters, but after my initial experience I'm in no hurry.

More often than not it *is* a beautiful-looking game.

Lair has the best soundtrack of a major game flop that I can remember. I still listen to it from time to time on Youtube.

I love the fact that at least someone remembers,
during the PS3 era how many bad games, and studios were shuttered during that era. you get nothing but rose-colored/ perfect hindsight about that now...

Haze broke me. I was such a massive fan of Timesplitters that I didn't believe for one second they could make such a generic, sub-par game. It even had a couple of neat ideas, but nothing that could save it from utter failure.

I learnt a harsh lesson from that game.

where's naughty dog's Way of the Warrior ?

The Order itself wasn't disappointing to me. I had a lot of fun playing it. The disappointing part was how short the game was...It needed at least 5 more hours.

The Order 1886 2 by Santa Monica, no Ready at Down

why waste money on remaking disappointing game
when they can remake good old school game
for a new Gen

The Order wasn't disappointing. it just wasn't exceptional.

The order 1886, im sure Sony said that would be a franchise. I also remember the developer saying he would take all the feedback and develop future title to be better

the order was not disappointing its an awesome game that was TOO SHORT

For me the biggest disappointment with The Order other than it being over a bit too quickly, having a rushed ending and not having any replay value is that I actually wanted more and never got it. The cliffhanger it ends on feels more like I just reached the middle or end of the first act of a game, not the ending proper. A sequel that picked up where it left off was sorely needed and we did not get that. For what it is, I actually really enjoyed The Order. It probably helps that I got it for $8 on a PSN Flash Sale rather than spending $80CAD on it on release, but I got value for the money I spent.

i really enjoyed the order.
I think the game was bashed for no good reason.
short game, so are tell tail games. do i have to mention Detroit's running time? how about quick time events.

if the industry is going to pan a game and then celebrate other games and they are basically the same i think they are all HYPOCRITES .

Ffxv need a remake, just do what versus suppose to do.

Knack should not be on these list. The game hit the mark on accessibility and ease of access to children at the BEGINNING of the PS4s life and delivered a very good sequel that improved on the first.

My 7 year old started Knack 1 when he was 4 he now plays and loves Knack 2 with my 4 year old.

That’s literally what we love about young gaming

Socom 4, all others were great. Looking forward to H-Hour releasing on ps4 later in the year

Legend of Legaia 2, the first was one of my favs all time, 2 was returned to GameStop the same day I bought it.

Haze - never understood anyone that defended this pos. It looked generic, it played generic.

Twisted metal small brawl. Please Sony give us another game like Twisted Metal Black

I really liked Lair back then, pretty graphics and overall production values. Sure it had some issues, but still I didn´t quite get the hate it got,.

the funny thing is more than half these games aren't bad they are just not that good or very niche

I thought the Haze premise was actually pretty cool. What's funny is that the same basic premise was used in Black Mirror.

Wow... some of these games on the list aren't bad at all. Must be a slow day at the office, huh?

15 Page Article=No Read

Uh oh...

Haze was pretty good.

I think we should note that these are the worst ps exclusives, which doesn’t mean they “bad” games. Just not as good as many of the good/great ps exclusives.

GamingBolt is the equivalent of Cheat Sheet.

I loved Twisted Metal 3

Whatever

These are my top 15, in no order at all: (please note i don't enjoy racing games)

15. Infamous 2
14. Uncharted 2
13. The last of us
12. God of war (Ps4)
11. Heavy rain
10. Ratchet and clank: a crack in time
9. Metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriot
8. Yakuza zero
7. Horizon zero dawn
6. God of war 3
5. Resistance 3
4. Until dawn
3. Uncharted 4
2. Metal gear solid 3 snake eater
1. Bloodborne

It's leaning more towards ps3/ps4, I know, but these are my top 15 nonetheless. I expect a lot of disagrees!

LOL! Even PS1 and PSP titles are counted. Surely gamingbolt was s0 desperate to find something from 20 years ago.

Interesting timining gamingbolt since Sony has been killing the competition with it's exclusives.

GamingBolt, the Microsoft mouthpiece that continues to find one way or another to say something negative about Sony.
There were stinkers on every platform. Xbox and Xbox 360 had quite a few and the reason why there are so few on Xbox One is because there have been hardly any exclusives this gen. Given the sheer number of exclusives Sony has had over each of the consoles, 15 games over nearly a quarter of a century is hardly anything to write about.

i dare someone to do a similar list with nintendo exclusives

lair and knack are not bad games

I actually kind of enjoyed Knack. It isn't the greatest game ever but I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I think people were expecting it to be this hardcore AAA killer app probably due to it being a launch title, and it just isn't that. On the other hand, that it was released as a launch title is why anyone paid any attention to it at all, so maybe it worked in the game's favour afterall.

Trollingbolt bolt upsetting the fanboys.

Haze was fun, i liked the concept.

Haze was my first ps3 shooter and should not be on this list. The multiplayer lobbies were always full and I would play for hours. The campaign was that bad either.

for some reasons , I started Twisted Metal with TW3, after I loved it, I tried going to TW1 and TW2, I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy them, however , I find TW3 better. maybe starting it as the entry game in TW was the reason I like it so much.

another clickbait article by gamingbolt.

BS to get people to click through 15 pages, nice try gamingbolt.

For me it was Haze, i give it a change but after 2 hours, but the gameplay was so bad that i gave up en never looked back.

I wonder if they do a "15 worst exclusive games on xbox" too?

Are there even 15 xbox exclusive games in total?

People need to get over the motion controls in Lair. They patched it to have regulat controls like a month later and the game was tremendously gorgeous and fun like an HD starfox with dragons.

As soon as I see a negative title I immediately know it will have Gamingbolt's stink all over it.
