Did you enjoy any of these gigantic System Wars flops? *56k fails, beware*

TP was amazing but I agree with Gertsman's review. I'd go with.. Lair since they closed down a development team.. The team who woul've made a new Rogue Squadron! :cry:

I played two games out of that list: Scribblenauts and TP.

Scribblenauts is a great game; 8.5 in my books (even flopped for me personally, but whatever). Levels are short, and the controls canbefrustrating, but it's still a solid buy.

TP was my first Zelda game, so maybe I'm biased, but I loved it. The artstyle was incredible, and some of he oss fights were eally fun.

Lair - 4.5

Too Human - 5.5

Haze - 6.0

Halo Wars - 6.5

Scribblenauts - 8.0

Spore - 8.0

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - 8.8

So did you enjoy any of these System Wars mega flops? If so, which ones? And do you think it/they deserved a higher score than they received?

gamerankings scores:

lair:56.57%

too human:68.24%

haze:56.33%

halo wars:81.88%

scribblenauts:78.82%

84.31%

LoZ:TP:94.28%

so actually TP DID NOT flop. its AAA.

i played scribblenauts and i hated it. and halo wars is an AA game imo. i haven't played the others. oh yeah spore, i'd give it AA as well

If we use GS scores, then why don't we change TP's scores to 9.0s? GS does use a 0.5 system now.

Out of those, Twilight Princess because it wasn't a flop.

But out of the real flops, Lair, I'd have to give it an 8.0.

Too Human was a GREAT game, imo. Loved it.

Lair was OK after the control patch.

Halo Wars was pretty good.

Zelda as always, was brilliant.

I dislike how this thread is worded, you make it sound as if it's near impossible to enjoy a game which scored an 8.8...bobbetybob

Or maybe the thread is actually showing that despite GS "flopping" it, a game can still be enjoyable.

I loved Too Human and Twilight Princess was also an awesome Zelda game. I didn't play the rest, but I would like to try Spore.

Woops, I played Halo Wars. I thought it was good, not great.

My youngest son bought SPORE when it came out and never got to play it cause his pc wont run it. "surprise!" buying a pc game only to find out later you wasted 50$. Happends all too often.

Sell it to ya if you want.

That only happens to the incompentent.

If you bought a new PC game, without knowing if your PC can run it or not thats not the fault of the game. Thats what we call operator malfunction.

Such a weak ass argument against the PC.

If you assume your son is to young to know his PC specs, then whoever allowed him to purchase the game (most likely with your money) shoulders the blame. Not Spore, or his outdated PC.

/rant against ignorance and blame shifting.

But it is a shame he didn't get to play the game. My child (7) adore's Spore. It's one of her favorites.

So i was scrolling down, agreeing with, until i saw Twilight Princess. Are you mad? I dont even own a Wii, but ive been a long time zelda fan, and this game instantly sucked me in.

Since when is 8.8 a flop? A flop would be 6.9 and under.

7 is pretty much average

8 means the game is good

9 means its very good

10 means its a must buy and near perfect.

Halo Wars was decent. The Metacritic score for it is 82, which is not bad at all for a console RTS. Lair was actually the funniest, IMO (its Metacritic score is 53!). This tells me that GS missed the score on HaloWars, but was right on with Lair.

I played the hell out of Too Human. It was a frustrating but fun experience with a friend. That game should be played coop.

I loved Twilight Princess, my favourite game on the Wii.

I have only played Lair and Too Human out of those. As for Lair, that was a game I was extremely hyped for, but to say it fell short of what it could have been is an understatement. As for Too Human, I found it fun, but it still ended up being an almost, but not quite affair for me. It did have quite a bit of potential which I still feel could result in a great sequel if done right.
