Flopped games this year you actually enjoyed?

I see a lot of people who thought games such as Alpha Protocol and Dante's Inferno were surprisingly good.

Which badly scored "flops" did you enjoy so far this year?

Heavy Rain, 8.5 is a great score, but it was hyped 9 so I guess its a "flop".

Aliens vs. Predator

It has 68 on MC, but I like it a lot :)

Alan Wake

heavy rain and alan wake. two of the best games ive ever played even if they did flopppppp

How the heck did Alan Wake and Heavy Rain flop? 8's are still excellent scores.

Easy. If game is hyped to be an AAAA (10/10) and gets 9.5 it's still considered a flop.

GT5....

Yeah, that's right, I got a time machine!

A flop is when a game doesn't meet the hype, if the official hype for HR was 9-9.5, and it scored 1-8.5 it is a flop, don't get me wrong I love the game my favourite game this year.

Final Fantasy XIII and Bioshock 2 are both great, though they only missed their hype by a bit. Nier, while it wasn't really hyped, scored low here, and I think everywhere else as well. I'm playing it now and so far it's been amazing.

Metro 2033 and Alan Wake!

Alan Wake.

Didn't meet the hype but I still liked it.

How about Blazblue? It only got an 8 on GS, but it's my favorite (new) game this generation. It wasn't a 2010 game, but it came out within the past year.

I really enjoyed Heavy Rain.

Alpha Protocol and Dante's Inferno.

alan wake (should be 9) shadow complex (should be 9) i reaally enjoyed and still is enjoying those games

also dantes inferno demo is amazing but the score and reviews are giving me doubt in buying those games

Well by SW rules, Heavy Rain flopped with an 8.5 ( :roll: ), but I rather enjoyed it. As for games that actually flopped, I have not played any of them, but I am thinking about getting Lost Planet 2

Alan Wake.

looking forward to my 3rd playthrough.

nobody in here is so worried about his/her money that he/she would rather save it only for big hits or the genres he/she likes !!!!!I do, i am on a very limited budget, i get 3-4 games every 4-5 months, sometimes even less :? ... can't take risks.

FF13.

Alan Wake

No no and no. Get out.

Alan Wake and FFXIII were both great games that I enjoyed.

Alan Wake is the only legitament flop that anyone has been naming. C'mon, FFXIII? Wtf, guys. Heavy Rain? THEY'RE MAKING A HEAVY RAIN MOVIE, it's not a flop.

LOL. That's your definition of a flop? That's f^&king retarded, my friend. You're a f*&king retard A flop is defined as "an almost or complete failure", hype has nothing really to do with it. If a game was hyped AAA (whatever the f&*k that rating system is) and falls a little bit short by getting an AA, that doesn't mean it's a flop... it was still a GREAT game in the eyes of a lot of people and it made a decent amount of money. The only thing that flopped in this situation was retarded gamespot users expectations (which, isn't surprising, it's very freqeunt).

That's System Wars' definition, yes. Get over it, or get out. Don't insult people because you failed :lol:

I failed because Gamespot users don't know the definiton of flop? Ok, then. :roll:
