Agreed.. My bro just got this over the weekend & I watched him play the first level.. Aside from the rough particle effects, framerate dips & pop-up it was bloody spectacular IMO..

I might actually buy this game once it gets patched.
I was reading about GTA4, especially things like helicopter play (where you can kill enemies on a ground by tilting the copter so the blade chop up people trying to run away or using the skid pads to fly above an enemy copter to cause it to crash) and thought about the scale of Lair.
Remembered the guy boasting how the Lair engine allowed macro to micro transitions, fly high above, get into aerial combat and then land somewhere for ground battles.
Maybe they can use this kind of engine to enhance those battles. Will probably have to happen on games which are more popular than Lair though.

Lair demo is on Hong Kong store apparently....Is this different from the Japan store?
I didnt see that stage but what I ve seen in the demo didnt look good at all.
The visuals are extremely rough. And it is not pleasant in the eyes either. There is too much brown. The visuals seem very rushed and unpolished. It is impossible to enjoy them. The choice of colors is weird. It is hard to explain but after some time of playing the imagery was annoying my eyes. I d prefer to play a PS2 game than this despite that it has an unbelievable size of scale and things happening on screen. Shadows are extremely rough. Sources of lighting are too few. The framerate is often choppy. Some monsters depict low res textures too.
This game shouldnt have been released as it is.
I cant believe how much the visuals changed since the real time tech demo they showed years ago. I wonder what really went wrong! I am sure that they could have made it look almost as good as they promised if they chose a different direction.

It is in the chinese store. I made a Hong Kong account to download it. It was recently put there
Oh and something else. The controls are confusing. Some aerial dragon fights require some motion sensing and button pressing but I dont quite get the logic.
And some of the motion sensing input makes no sense. For example the 180 degree turn requires you to suddenly lift up a lot your controller. The control movement and the result dont make sense.

Think reins. At least, that's what you're supposed to if I remember correctly. Then again, I'm one of probably very few guys that can actually ride a horse.
Why can't guys ride horses? Is it a female only sport?
I don't know but it seems to be! I stopped riding horses because I don't like bossing an animal around. That's also why I have a cat (ok, 3 cats) rather than a dog. Besides, a bicycle is a lot more practical. However, when I was 10 I went on a camp where you rode horses twice a day for 45 minutes, including bareback at the end. Later I went riding twice more (once in Italy, was very nice), but then I quit, for the aforementioned reasons.
I've never met another guy who could ride horses, I think. Part of the big thing of riding a horse is also taking care of the horse, brushing it, etc. That's traditionally been considered more something for the ladies (witness the my little pony marketing).
This world is incredibly sexist, and it's nowhere as obvious as when you look at what kids are confronted with when they're little. My parents were very different in this respect, compared to just about all other parents. I did all sorts of things as a kid, from cooking class to go-karting and all sorts of stuff in-between, and there were very clearly stuff that people made girls do, and stuff that people made boys do. There's an incredible amount of examples I can come up with and only a few show some kind of balance in the sexes. And almost all of them can be traced back to 'genderism' in parents and the rest of the people that kids deal with.
Anyway, straying off-topic.
