This episode came together, BEAUTIFULLY.
I give it 9/9, the HIGHEST score, possible.
I'm sure the guys would prefer 6/9.
Yeah except for one detail...
Why this game?
Medium rated by most (70% , PLAYERS on Metacritic 64%), lots of players found it to be "light" in content and a bit clunky..
But "worst than most"? Actually, better than most, so why?
The complaint among negative reviews? Like here, "bad controls".
Most times I've seen that in a review, it translated into "don't understand/don't have the time/can't be bothered" which is a COMMON theme on worst games ever. They don't want to play the game in the first place so...?
@@jbarnhart2653 You are taking this far too serious.
The show is only supposed to mock mediocre to downright awful games, even tho the mediocre entries might not be as bad as the likes of "Ride to Hell: Retribution" or "Miami Vice (PS2), etc.
Actually, its just an excuse tp talk about games that would get no mentions anywhere whatsoever, and thats the case with Lair.
Even tho TJ actually does a journalistic job bringing up data and info about reviews/critics/dev info/trivia, they never implied any pretention to prove themselves as hardcore/technical gamers. Its actually the opposite: That's brought up on several ocasions that they (especially Ben and Ashton) actually play some entries on easy. And from a POV of someone playing games daily as a job, its actually reasonable that they keep it on a casual level instead of try-harding games few people care about.
Fucking Andre, they're so cool bc they play games no one knows, instead of playing games no one knows.
D riding at its worst
I love that Ben launched into an Alan Partridge impression the moment they learned the main character's name.
As a Australian im very offended, we are NOT backwards!!!
We're upside down, we walk on roofs and drink from our bot-bots
Am Australian, can confirm
I’m not Australian but confirm that too
I actually loved the concept for Lair. I almost wish someone would pick it back up and retry it on newer hardware.
Soundtrack *was* good though.
I always love how when you make references you show the clip but most of the time i still have no idea what you're talking about.
Same i get about 1 in 5 references
I only ever get the MBMBaM references Ben makes. But they're so subtle and spread out that most people probably don't realize that they are references at all.
If I recall, Simon Miller has a history with Lair.
When it was released you could only play with motion controls, there was a patch released later letting you use the sticks for control.
As the Offspring song goes: you’re Pretty Fly, for a White Guy.
i'm going to use " choking the air with my discharge" to describe when i fart from now on.
Id love if you guys did a Worst games ever mini doc series. Id love to see you speak to developers about why they believe the games ended up in such terrible condition.
That's basically What Happened by Matt McMuscles
Yeah thats already a thing just search Wha happun?
Heck, the Wha Happun? episode for this game made me feel really bad for Factor 5. They got screwed by LucasArts twice, screwed by Nintendo once, screwed by Microsoft once and screwed by Sony so. many. times.
Ben looks like Morrigan from darkstalkers with those head-wings.
You can tell it's a launch title because it uses sixaxis for everything.
Those pre-rendered face models still hold up, that’s pretty amazing.
Every time I remember to look at the subs count (almost every day), it’s increased by about 100. Slowly but surely bois; keep it up!
Personally I don't like how CZcams only displays a channel's sub count to the third digit now.
Tell your friends!
I'm just waiting for them to get that one hit video that earns em a few million views. Also, how much funding is needed to bring the special facts back? :P
For those who miss the worst games ever facts I post them in the comments every episode
@@chikasnotmadjustdisappoint6266 It really is one of the worst and weirdest changes they've made.
Worst games ever

TheSAMlearning Thank you 😁
This video may well be the most powerful experience that a man (OR WOMAN) can share with his (OR HER) $5,000 home theatre system
Ben, remember, your wings are beautiful
“Handcuffs? Kinky. Hey hey.”
Have you boys been reading my fanfic again?
Ohh spicy
Worst part about this game is that they've patched the horrid Sixaxis controls out, but you still can't play it with a PS2 controller because they forgot to assign a button to one single action needed to complete the tutorial.
Yes, you can use a PS2 controller on a PS3 with any cheapo USB adapter. Don't ask.
Ah, shite, I commented before watching. Apparently, the same thing happens to PS4 controllers.
Peter Austin: *Messes up word*
Peter Austin: "And also, trans rights."
I remember being so excited for this game to come out. They fed me the hype and I ate it like the fat piece of crap that I am.
Ben was so quick with that edragulate joke. That was really impressive😂
He's been waiting since 2007 to use that joke.
If I remember they added a patch so you can use the sticks I believe
23:36 Love using a literal dragon as just cavalry
Ben plays this like how every mum plays every video game
You leaving the table to go get a PS3 controller was extremely entertaining.
Press F to pay respects to Ben's dignity.
Thanks for the Video My Dudes! I really enjoyed it! Laughed all the way thru the video!
Ben, you flap your dragon wings so elegantly. Remember, your flaps are beautiful
This video makes it into the best of Worst Games Ever list, for sure. One of the most hilarious episodes in ages. Great stuff boys! 😂
1st time watching the channel, clicked to see if this was that game I recalled.
Not ashmed to say stayed for how hot Ben is.
Ah, I see you are a man (OR WOMAN) of good taste 😉
Lair......I hardly know her.
That's what Caim said at first about Angelus.
16:46 caught me completely off guard and almost pissed myself.
Laird of the rings... You're on fire ben.
This game as a concept seems cool, and would be something I could get into if it were much, MUCH better executed. Flying over a stronghold, blowing shit up and then landing on a dragon to kill battalions of armored knights. It just really blows in its execution. I like the criticism Peter brings up on some of these games, that it feels like the devs had the things they wanted, and got them done but didn't actually do them justice.
I played this game, after the first few levels you have to do a stealth mission.
Imagine using the sixaxis controls in a mission where you to avoid huge headlights, because when one of them catches you, you had to restart.
Come a little bit closer to my dragon, son.
The only redeeming quality of this game is the soundtrack being similar to my favourite duel in Star Wars
I remember enjoying Lair up until the level with the spotlights.
Edit: I also played it before they patched in the analogue stick controls so I had no choice but to use the sixaxis
@19:03 I love how there's a genuine lightbulb moment when it sinks in how bad the game is. There's of those in every worst games episode lmao
Nominate that Tiny Peter has badly drawn glasses on his 'game's victim' photo.
It's been proven that Peter dreams about doing intimate things with dragons.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks guys!
The only thing better than an Alan Partridge reference is an Alan Partridge reference from The day Today. Thank you
I remember seeing this and liking the concept. I have always wanted to ride a gosh darn dragon, just like every other person who has ever seen a dragon. I was interested in the title but never got it since we didn’t have a PS3, I guess I should be thankful
Peter is spot on with the star wars music!😂😂
WOAH!!!
Was NOT expecting Bob Katter.
I thought only Ozzys would know about that peanut.
Comment to help Al Gore's Rhythms
Has anyone ever told the boyz that you can sync a ps4 controller to a ps3 through bluetooth?
i think every time they mentioned it in a ps3 video, people in the comments did tell them, i don't know if they ever saw said comments though.
I remember my Dad wanted this game in the early PS3 days, bought it for him and it resulted in me playing the whole thing for him.
Dragon games have not been doing so well. Look at Eragon and Scalebound.
Maybe he just wanted to be involved in your hobby and that was his way of doing it
@@ffffdsd He was a video gamer from when I was a baby and to that timeframe (Not so much in recent years). So while I get the idea, it wouldn't fit with him.
It was just that the game didn't interest him.
Can confirm we are all backwards in Australia
I remember getting really excited by this, and then when it was an entirely different game when they released it lol
Ben wearing his wings looks a bit like Peter Gabriel's costume for the song Watcher of the Skies, where he wore bat wings on his head.
Wait, is that Newcastle?
Edit: wow, yes. I had to check Streetview to make sure. Been there a couple of years ago, haha.
Cheers from Spain, guys!
Bunny ear Ben is my favourite. Fingers crossed for a Funko Pop!
Yes they are bunny ears, wings would be ridiculous.
That intro cutscene seems really similar to Dark Souls
I hope somewhere, Billy ARRR Walrus (Pirate walrus) survived the moves and is happy with one of the vidiots.
I just realise you live 30mins aways from me lol im sure one of you used to work in a game shop in toon
11:10 Superman 64 flashbacks
Ben looks fly, dragonfly
ben got his red wing today LMAO
I thought you looked more like dobby, than a dragon, Ben ;)
See it’s the bits others would cut out that so fucking funny and make them unique.....I LOVE THESE GUYS.
Bob Katter on triple jump. Mind blown.
I'd say this game was well ahead of its time...
...by exact 10 years. It looks like one of those shitty PS4 games made by Gilson B. Pontes.
Really? It looks shocking
@@Lewis1995 yup
Although I'm kidding about it being ahead of its time, it does look a bit like these horrible games:
Spear of Destiny
Sword of Fortress
Samael the Legacy of Ophiuchus
Shadow the Ronin
@@MateusAuri I'd probably agree its ahead of it's time tbh they just didnt execute it very well
@@Lewis1995 Ah yes, one could argue that, indeed, when it comes to other aspects besides the graphics.
@@Lewis1995 also holy shit a reference to a Simpsons footballer
‘Resistance Fall of Man’ now that’s a game awesome.
Edragulate.... there goes my whole day🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😵
Remember everyone the boys are accepting post donations of tat till the 30th of November
Got my greeting card with small tat inside ready and waiting to post!
I remember being excited by the gimmick, and then playing for 10 minutes until it got old. It just goes to show, we were very easily impressed by motion control in the 2000s.
You guys are funny. Good show.
this is my favorite episode
Vulcan-Os, Spock's favorite breakfast treat 😂😂😁👽
man the sage is so cool
It got an update where you don’t need six axis am sure
Used to live just round the corner!
this is probably my favorite worst games i've ever seen. great job guys! you're awesome.
16:40 Funniest reference
Esto es triste, Factor 5 había desarrollado buenísimos juegos como Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures SNES y Mega Turrican Genesis
As an Australian this video was upsetting
Yes ben you do look fly
Lookin fly
ben looks super fly
Aww. Didn't wear the headband all the way home?
Being a fan of Eragon; I was so excited about this game.
Remember that every 3months or so someone is killed by crocodile!
Good joke Ben
That's great they stopped playing exactly where I decided the game was trash lol
I can't believe Bob Katter's ridiculous speech made it out of Australia.
The ideas are great, if they made it now, would it work?
I tried my best with this game and even after the “fixed the controls” it is still shit.
And if y'all think THESE wait times are bad, holy shit, you GOTTA try playing Shadow of Mordor on 360.. navigating the menus in game was no less than ~30 seconds or more any time you pressed "Start". It was so bad that I legitimately only played it for like an hour total. Hehehe
the frames!!!!
BEN IS PATAMON!!!!!
Your wings.... are beautiful
I don't know if it's a 10/10 (the highest score), but the score really does sound nice. I also agree with the lads that the dragon has been extremely well animated, plenty of contemporary games did creature animation like this a lot worse, I feel. The technical performance is absolute garbage, though. I'd be curious to know if advances in emulation etc. could make the game run any better than this.
Ben looks hot in those wings. Also where's Noah Walrus?
I love this; really shows SONY up 😂😂😂
Why couldn’t his name be Harry lol
that reviewer said your lair is beautiful
Drakengard + Lord of the rings movies....
Oh... I loved this game :(
