Has to be Skyward Sword.

Skyward Sword was bad, but still mild compared to Twilight Princess I'd say.

I don't think anything beats the mess GT5 had come with the non-premium cars. Biggest dissapointment by far.

Skyward Sword. In no universe does that game deserve a 7.5.3SidedSquare
skyward sword was saddled with too many flaws. simplistic dungeons, so few items, backtracking, mandatory fetch quests, dowsing, a bleak and largely empty overworld, very little enemy variety, and too much repetition

I may sound like a troll but for me it was too human. For me Too human had some really good ideas but they executed really poorly. The game was full of glitches, it had repetitive and lazy level design and it the biggest problem of all is that it was really an unbalanced mess. Its really a shame the game ended up being so terrible.

Probably The Last of Us. Gave a much lower score than just about everyone else thinks it deserved.

Everyone keeps referring to Twilight Princess being colossal.

Can we consider that this gen? It was like 2006 wasn't it?

In terms of score, Lair.

However, there are quite a few games that led to more laughs when they flopped (GT5, TLOU, TP).

Easily Twilight Princess and i dont even feel it's close. On that day you could feel system wars change into something extraordinary. So many epic reactions to that review. Nowadays flops dont have the same impact

Seems like cows are the only faction that has the balls to hype their games AAAE. Lems/sheeps/herms are either to chickenshit to make a hype thread or they resort to setting the hype to AAE.heeweesRus

Too Human and Lair had the biggest score differentials to their hype.

But Twilight Princess evoked one of the most cataclysmic community backlash on the forums.

Twilight Princess was huge.

On the Sony side of things, GT5 was far worse than TLOU.  Funny how quickly people forget.

Dat reaction though.  I judge the severity of a flop not by the difference in score, but by the fallout that ensues.  In that respect, Twilight Princess may be the biggest flop of all time.

Gran Turismo 5:

-Years upon years of shit talk towards Forza

-The hype thread exploded after the flop and ended up with over 20k posts.  (pretty sure it was the largest SW thread ever)

-Hype thread contained posts like this one:

Then Gears Judgement. Gears 3 scored a 9.5 and Judgement dropped an entire 2 points. I don't think we have seen a larger fall from grace this entire gen

Lems use GS like a shield...

Halo8Shield.gif

But they dont hide behind GS opinions when it comes to Best Graphics or GOTY.

The truth is the biggest flop this gen is SW's definition of flop and/or the score-mongers who live and buy games by that definition.
