Biggest flop in system wars history?

Twilight princess, because it was hyped AAAA and was said to be better than OOT.MGS9150

Zelda. People are going to vote Lair because it just happened and the score is really low but Zelda had the most impact of all time.

AAA was the offical hype i believe.

Hahaha, This is a classic case of lair-floppage denial.

Lair. Without a doubt.LegendofNerd

Lair by a long shot.

And I'm a "cow". Anyway, this crap can be kept to the official Lair review thread, since this is obviously meant to be a thread about Lair.

I dont care if lair flopped, it doesnt affect me at all. I wouldnt have bought it anyways.

Other.

Super Mario Sunshine imo.

You forgot Shenmue and the biggest of them all... KILLZONETargetDog

this list is horrible.

no fable, no killzone, no doom 3, no mario sunshine. Geez, you act like sw was just created in 2006...

saeriously, this list is a pos.

Twilight princess, hyped AAAA.

2nd place metroid prime 3... Hyped Halo killer by sheep and will score higher than Bioshock.

3rd I think its killzone, maybe because of the media hype.

Zelda. People are going to vote Lair because it just happened and the score is really low but Zelda had the most impact of all time.

The official hype was AA and some fanboys were even saying AAA and a GOTY contender, its SW, what can you expect.

TP was hyped AAA, and please show me where all the sheep were saying MP3 would kill Halo, wait, they didn't.

Lair is the biggest flop. It was hyped AA, and missed its mark by 3.5! Coming down to 4.5 as a score! No game did as bad as this! TP hyped AAA, got AA, .2 off. Metroid hyped AAA, got AA .5. That is no where near Lairlettuceman44

But when we mention the number 8.8, its like mentioning 9/11. I think the number 8.8 is bigger than 9/11. Its really amazing.

[QUOTE="LegendofNerd"]Lair. Without a doubt.Carmilla31

Rogue Squadron II says otherwise. Besides, MGS, Metroid, and Zelda still scored AA which are, correct me if I'm wrong here, GREAT games. Even Blue Dragon, as bad as it flopped, was nowhere near the epic floppage level of Lair.

4.5 :? That's all I gotta say.

Blue Dragon, MP 3? You kidding me?

With flops like Mario Sunshine, Doom 3, Fable, Killzone, GTA Liberty City Stories really defining what's an SW flop, those games are bad choices for your list.

It's tough though, all those flops I listed were really big, but Twilight Princess was so unexpected and crippling. Lair is a big flop, but it wasn't supposed to be a killer app.

Out of your list, I'd vote Twilight Princess. Though I think Mario Sunshine is the biggest flop in recent memory.

How is it not Lair? Lair got a 4.5. You don't really compete with that. It's a 4.5. The types of games that get scores like that are ones that are never hyped and everybody knows they'll be horrible, and they're released and nobody buys them and that's it. Lair on the other hand received MASSIVE hype and was pegged as AAA GOTY by plenty. It also received a lot of hype from other publications. A game with that kinda hype getting a 4.5 from Gamespot? 4.9 from IGN? That's what makes this such a big deal.

Lair is the biggest video game flop probably ever based on its hype, not just in SW. I can't think of a single other game from any generation that received the hype Lair did and came crashing down as hard when all was said and done. Daikatana's close, but even then a lot of people had reservations about it since John Romero is a douchebag.

There was a time they did. I remember that. As soon as that onepreview said the controls were the most revolutionary in FPS history since Halo, fanboysran withit. Luckily, they forgot all about that soon after.

It's obvious none of you were around when Daikatana came out. It's by far the biggest flop in history. It was hyped as a divine revolution in gaming godness for its like 5 year development.

...and it was a mammoth piece of crap. Scored a 4.6 I think.

Lair.

Cows: "OMG LAIR IS TEH AMAZING. IT WILL MAKE HALO LOOK LIKE CRAP"

4.5 doesn't make Halo look like crap...
