The title says it all, after Zelda Skyward Sword enter the nominations for Biggest Flop this year

I wanna ask questions: What's the biggest flop this year?

First, it was Infamous 2 that scored 7.5 here, although when I played it I feel it should've been 9.0, then GS made another mistake:

Zelda scored 7.5....really....biggest flop ever....

I seriusly can not believe GS review anymore, if there's anybody out here who think that Zelda SS is really a 7.5 game then....

Anybody not picking Zelda, is either trolling or has seriously never been on GameSpot before and just picked a random game.

I'd say Zelda. Very surprising score, but I am not up in arms over it because I have never played a Zelda game before.

Zelda, but it doesn't surprise me because there shouldn't have been much hype over this game.

Zelda definitely. Wonder why Uncharted 3 is up there though since 9.0 is AAA.

How are any of these games flops? Just because gamespot provided poor reviews doesnt mean the game is bad. Zelda average on gamespot 94%. All the other are in 80% or 90% so yep just some terrible reviewers.

I assume Uncharted is there as a joke about the hype thread being flooded by people making fun of it for "only" getting a 9, scoring lower than Gears, calling it a flop, etc, based on the fact that the poll option indicates it was hyped AAA and scored 9. I almost voted for it myself when I saw it.

Because the SW definition of flop is "a game whose score on GS fails to meet the official SW hype."

seriously the poll looks stupid with UC3 up there...it got AAA 9.0 score. IT didn't flop. Zelda Easily. Games like Infamous 2 didn't flop..seriously who outside of a core Sony fanbase cares about that game? ~Uncharted 3 was the only PS3 exclusive people cared about.

Zelda, the hopes, dreams and aspirations of many sheep were broken. I would give runner up to Flopza4 as it was AAA LOCK only to get AA FLOP.

Battlefield 3 because of the amount of denial going on I would say zelda but it is voided because Tom Mcshea reviewed it, if someone else gave it a 7.5 I would say that

It's funny that Uncharted got a 9.0 and is considered a flop. 9.0 is not a flop but the hype was so crazy and the reaction to a 9.0 was ridiculous.

Zelda. I still think 7.5 is a fine score, seems like I'm in the minority though.

SW rules for a hype thread.

EDIT: and "Zelda average on gamespot 94%" does not make it better since it is still a hype avaage.

Sold mine to a friend about a year ago and planned on borrowing it back to play SS but now, probably not. :P

From this list I'll say it's Zelda, but in all honesty nothing beats Duke Nukem Forever in terms of floppage.

Also, why is UC3 on here? It met its hype.

Duke Nukem forever, I mean sure Zelda got a very suprising score (I would have probably guessed at 8.0) however Duke Nukem Forever had many years of production, loads of money thrown in and produced a 3.0 and also flopped on many different websites as well.

Flop of the year and perhaps the past Decade is Duke Nukem Forever

Battlefield 3. It was hyped to be the superior game to MW3, and ended up getting lower scores overall. Zelda, on the other hand, has so far only flopped on Gamespot, and we should have learned a long time ago not to take Gamespot's reviews too seriously.

Zelda has been getting high scores and I'm sure it will sell a lot as well. Duke Nukem forever was hated by pretty much everyone.

Last I recalled it was hyped at AAA. 9.0 counts as AAA. Just because you were expecting a 9.5 or even a 10 doesn't neccessarily mean it's a flop, or at least a significant one.

Gamespot is the biggest flop of the year. Zelda getting a 7.5 just locked GS in for FOTY. Ranking MW3 and BF3 the same is further fuel for FOTY. Gears of War 3 outranking Skyrim is grounds to make Gamespot FOTY.
