Does anyone here get disappointed when a game on a different console flops?

I mean, of the current gen stuff, I only have a 360, but looking at the PS3's line up, whenever I see a game that looks awesome flop I sorta get disappointed. Anyone else get this sometimes too?

I get disappointed when great looking games (not talking graphics) fail to live up to their potential.

If a hyped game flops, I get dissapointed regardless of opinion but really if I play it and see too many flaws, I wouldn't give a score cause most times they're inacurate

Most gamers do. There isn't much sense in getting pleasure from a game failing.

Well here's the thing, most people and myself want to see games succeed. If they do? Sweet. If they don't. That's a shame.

However, when you research a well hyped game before it is released and you predict it will flop (not by SW terms), and it does indeed fail to live to expectations -- it makes you feel smart:D

but it's still a shame, and this goes regardless of console of choice.

I was sad when I heard that Heveanly Sword was a 6 hour game and Uncharted was 12 hours. I was considering buying a PS3 at that time. Good thing I played the HS demo and realised that game was trash. Uncharted I would play though.

Normally, yes I do get disappointed when games flop. Lair's flop however, was hilarious and I wasn't upset in the slightest.

Depending the game. When Ratchet and Uncharted didn't get their 'hyped' score I was disappointed because both games looked awesome. If MGS4 or LBP didn't get a 9 or higher I would have been extremely disappointed.

I love when games flop. I don't care what score it got, I'll enjoy it regardless. But I think it's so funny to see fanboys go into damage control and really without flops, system wars would be so lame.

If a 360 game flops, I don't care. I'd feel the same way if it were a hit.

I own 3 systems, so no I get disappointed when most games flop, more importantly, I get upset when I spend 60 bucks on a game I find out I hate despite it scoring well. Reviews work both ways unfortunatly :(

Games flopping is what makes the games better. "Many" flops are followed by a much improved sequel, while the great scoring games just end up milking the series with the same thing over and over again (not always bad, but would be nice to see some solid improvements). I get much more disappointed by overrated games that end up wasting my money expecting something epic and find out it is average to good (looking at you GTA4, MGS4, and the king of all overrated games Halo). The flops that disappoint me are the ones that are reviewed as a flop for technical problems or bugs that are resolved by a patch within a week or so but are already determined to be a bad game.

To be honest I don't care at all if a game flops or not on any console. I mean me and GS usually have different opinions on games so I wouldn't base a games fulfillness on it's GS score.

All depends, if a game looks like trash but is hyped crazy(see lair, haze, and Too Human - which I hyped and still loved it) then is can be funny. However if a game like Banjo and Little Big Planet were to fail horribly, then I would be sad
