Not to mention Conviction, Fable III, Crackdown all flopping last year. 360 owners have been neglected for years.

Yet Killzone will always be remembered for being hyped the "halo-killer" before it scored a sub 7 score here on GS.

well you obviously haven't played it if you think it "completely sucked".

That may be so but Alan Wake did not suck at all.

All in all they both have the same score so theyre in the same boat.

Dont start.

Well, we know you didn't play the game. Not surprising, TC.

And no, it did not flop harder than KZ3. If you want to see the hardest flop this gen, look at GT5.

Killzone 3 had a lot of hype actually.

Mostly graphical hype. As I remember, Alan Wake was claimed by lemmings as the first AAAAE exclusive with best graphics on consoles.

Killzone 3 flopped way harder than Alan Wake. It was hyped way more - to be better than Halo, king of console FPS games etc.

Sure, Alan Wake flopped, but nowhere big as KZ3, and certainly nowhere near the insane GT5 level.

They both got like .5 less than the hyped score, I don't find any of them to be a hard flop. Alan Wake did have a bigger reaction though.

Killzone 3 had a lot of hype considering most people were sure it would score higher/equal Killzone 2. Alan Wake was a new IP. Yeah, KZ3 flopped a lot harder.

The new gunplay is inferior, and that's a shame, I get why they did it but still. I want to play the retail before I judge though, according to reviewers the new maps are sick.

The only non-flops for the 360 last year were Halo Reach and ME2 (which is on PS3 now anyway). SC Conviction, Crackdown 2, Fable III, and Alan Wake all flopped, and in 2011, 360 owners don't even HAVE a game to flop, so they have absolutely no place to call flop on anything. It's like a bratty kid who can't even dribble a basketball sitting in the bleachers and screaming "your jumpshot sucks!" to the NBA players.

Is that because Gears 3 and Forza 4 simply cannot flop? ;) But seriously, way too much emphasis on exclusives - 360 still has a ridiculous amount of exciting games coming out for it.

Yes I honestly believe Fable III and Crackdown 2 suffered from a lack of budget. I own Fable III and its tech is just not up to scratch, the graphics and animations are seriously underwhelming. Crackdown 2 used the same city and has the same graphics as the first, a game which didn't look all that great in 07. Either these games were underfunded or they were seriously rushed. They put all the money from Live in their pocket, it certainly doesn't go to exclusives.

100% This.

SW gets crazy when games don't score 9 or above. Alan Wake was a great game and from what I've read (KZ3 not released in UK yet) Killzone 3 is a great game.Stop whining and enjoy your games.

Or even better, buy both systems and play both games. :o

I honestly doubt Forza and Gears won't be AAAE but then again I would have said the same for K3. How can you not place emphasis on exclusives?, all those "exciting" games are also on PS3, the only thing seperating the consoles are exclusives and it's not like PS3 only has 1 or 2 more, we're talking about 8 AAE+ games this year.

alan wake flopping was more suprising and shocking than gt5 and kz3 combined.

therefore making it a more dense flop, a supernova flop.

GT5 flopped more than any Microsoft title in the history of video games, so quit trolling.

Only Lair and the original Killzone can actually rival the massive flopping of GT5.

Well, there's nothing wrong with exclusives, but even so, what games (exclusive or not) has the 360 gotten so far this year? Dead Space 2? It scored better on PS3, and in the meanwhile, PS3 has been getting DC Online, KZ3, LBP2, Trinity Zill Whatever, and those other two JRPGs coming out in a bit...I mean, it's not even an issue of "focusing too much on exclusives". Where are the games?
