Post recent flops in this thread. See how long it goes. Today we have, Stranglehold and MOH.

Last week we had massive ones in Lair and Blue Dragon... ouch

Next week could we have Sony deliver on another contender for flop of the year in Heavenly Sword? We'll have to wait and see.

Flop is hardly the word I would use to describe Stranglehold. It looked AA from the start and delivered.

Kind of hard to say that Stranglehold / MOH:A flopped considering nobody was really hyping those suckas :P

Heavenly Sword will be next...still looks like a great game tho.

I remember when Stranglehold hit XBL... I was playing Gears and people were saying how awesome it was. I came on here and people said it would definitely get AA just off of the demo. I log in today, look at the review and it got a 7... that's on the bring of massive flopdom cause if it got a 6.5 that would of been just... ugh.

Hopefully it won't turn out like Lair then... I feel sorry for the people who were like "I buy no matter what!!!1"

because it's not a good game... it's not worth 60...

Ruined your thread with this nonsense. The game is already 83% at gamerankings. No way can it be flop of the year.

I haven't played Stranglehold all the way through. But you have to laugh at that lame diving jump. They tried a little hard to make this game an action movie.

Its a safe bet at this point. As long as one is okay with the running time. Its seemingly short but sweet.

I know this is off-topic but how do you like your wii so far ?? and HS most likely will flop with a AA because of it's length idk why people hyped it AAA :roll:

Wii is cool. It was an impulse purchase cause they were suddenly in stock so I couldn't get a game just yet. I am getting some via gamefly this week. But I like it. Still I need a lan adapter for the online, so I'm still waiting to enjoy the VC games. The game that sold me was mario strikers, played it on my friends Wii, can't wait to get that one.

HS will flop. But I'll take an 8 flop over a 4.5 flop any day.

If trash like Strangehold can score a 7 here at GS, there's no reason HS can't score at least an 8 here.

I don't care what score Gamespot gave it. I'll probably still pick it up on Ebay for less then $30 a few weeks from now. I don't think the game is worth $59.99 and I feel sorry for people who paid that amount for this game. Most people will probably just rent it anyways.

stranglehod got a 7.

Since when is 7 not an average score?

surely 5 by definition is an average score out of 10. to me a 7 means if you like this type of game then this is for you, you will like it. buy it in the confinece youll get it home and have many hours of enjoyment with the kind of game you like.

but if you not a fan of this type of game then dont bother, it aint going too turn your head.

Factor 4.5 - " Lair can only be done on the ps3"

indeed

Blue Dragon sucked as well.
