How To Avoid Lair's Motion Control

August 31, 2007 in News comments 8

It's simple. If you dislike Lair's Sixaxis motion control and wish to use a analog stick or d-pad, then just plug in a USB game control pad and you're all set. The game will switch up the motion controls to the analog nub or d-pad. Problem solved.

I don't want to suggest that somehow the control magically becomes perfect. It doesn't. But the difference is palpable. I pulled up that infamous first bridge level, and suddenly I was actually able to make the dragon go where he ought to. I can't imagine why this functionality isn't an option. I don't know if it's possible to play through the entire game like this. Certainly some key button features, like lock-on and rage mode, weren't mapped to the buttons on my pad.

    So I'd have to spend MORE money just to make the game work.

      No...you dont. The game works when you get it, it is just for the people who are to lazy to change the way they play the game and figure out the learning curve.

    Are people that pathetic that they would rather spend time finding ways around the motion control than learning how it works, its like anything you can only duck out so often eventually you will have to figure it out.

      No, I have a gripe that a suitable alternative control method was available in the demo and suddenly it's gone in the full game. Not like it matters since the game is lackluster.

      Bitch about it in the Lair forums. I will not repeat myself here. You fanboys are placing the blame on the wrong aspects.

      Also, you should stop always accepting what's given to you and dealing with it. BAD GAMES EXIST ON EVERY CONSOLE, GUYS. zomg

    Renee you're a troll just no one says anything. You're just as bad as Finalblade. So kindly, *bleep* off.
    You try to come off as not being a troll with things that sound like they're pro-every console but you can't hide what is blatantly the truth.

    This is a case of every publication just jumping on the bandwagon now that It got horrible reviews, no one wants to be that publication that gave Lair a decent review after all of this. I didn't say great or good, but decent, it isn't nearly as terrible as everyone says and the controls are not broken, I have had no trouble playing through the game and in fact I've been enjoying it way more than I ever expected to.

    Most people who have played the game say its a pretty decent game, not great but decent.

    And I have played Lair over at my friends and while I sucked at first I was getting the hang of it by the end of the second mission

    I played Lair at my friends house and I think that the controls are horrible.

    Now for this article, gamers don't want to spend money on buying another set of controls/products. They expect every game to be packed with all of the material necessary.
