And the flop of the year award- the game begins with a S...

[QUOTE="mo0ksi"]

With Spore, people set themselves up for the disappointment.

It was made by Will Wright, who makes casual games. The entire time Will Wright said that it was to appeal to a massive audience leading to it not being a complex and hardcore game. People ignored it and played Spore with that mentality.

What's bugging me though is that people are acting the game is awful because it flopped. It got an 8. 8 isn't a bad score.

He wanted to make the game far more complex and scientific.

It was Chris Hecker who beleived it was too complex and had it... simplified for a wider audience.

Hence why the preview builds of the game months and months ago were so much better than the final product.

This is pretty much why Spore was such a massive dissapointment.

but at least socom is somewhat fun when you get in a game. spore is just... ugh!JackDaniels121

PS2 Socom is still way more fun... and i'd argue spore is a bit more enjoyable than the mess that is Socom is right now. at least i don't get booted from the spore servers every couple of minutes :P spore was boring, not broken.

Those who are saying that Socom and Too Human are bigger flops obviously haven't been paying attention.

Spore received ****ing insane hype for years; it was hyped as GotG by alot of people.

Easily the flop of the year.

whoever says that spore was the biggest flop is crazy. VERY FEW PEOPLE ever even hyped it AAAA.it was generally hyped either A or AAA(people loved the idea or hated it) and it recieved AA

Too Human was supposed to be AAA/AAAA and look, it didn't even get A

yeah unless gears gets a 9.5-10 it will be considered a flop here. r2 only has too do 8.5-9.5 to meet most expectations

Of all the names going around I've gotta say the biggest dissappointment (ratingswise) was SOCOM: Confrontation. Everyone kind of just expected it to be AA/AAA and it really went astonishingly below that so...Spore, not too far off the mark, Fable 2, not too far of the mark, SOCOM...winner in the losers catagory.Newsboy

It isn't quite that simple. For system wars, it all depends on the hype factor. If a game is hugely hyped to be AAA but scores 8.5, it is considered a big flop in system wars. It isn't logical, but that's how it is. SOCOM wasn't that hyped. Sure, it was hyped AA by cows, but there wasn't a thread every day saying "SOCOM will score AA for sure". It had minimal AA hype. Spore had maximum AAA hype and even AAAA hype. Therefore, Spore is actually a bigger flop than SOCOM. And based on the hype for years over Spore and how it was going to monumentally change gaming forever, it is even a bigger flop than Fable 2.

Spore or Too Human. Everyone knew Socom would suck because it was made by Slant-Six.
