How did RAGE flop exactly? It still got a good score, so using your logic 8.0 and 8.5 means bad game right? Last time I checked 8.0 and 8.5 mant great scores, also it only got an 8.0 on GS, there are other reviewers you know? I suggest you read them to get a wide range of opinions (that's all reviews are) so you get more views. Also you shouldn't let review scores be the end all be all, just use them as general refrences and that's it. Decide for yourself wether or not you enjoy a game.
why do people still not understand what a flop is, a flop doesnt mean a game is bad, it means the game didnt meet the hype as rage was hyped AAA i believe, and it got an 8(AA) so therefore it is a flopHow did RAGE flop exactly?

Part of it is due to how much of a mess the PC launch is.What was the hype?
Anyway i think Forza 4 is a much bigger Flop.

The term "flop"refers to something that people expected to be good but it ended up being bad, atleast that's what it is in real life. SW may have a different definention...
So when people call RAGE a flop they are trying to imply that it is a bad game, which it isn't.

No when people call Rage a flop, they mean it didn't score AAA.

The term flop means something isn't as good as expected.Rage was expected to be AAA, but turned out AA, thus failed to be as good as expected, and there fore is a flop.[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"][QUOTE="TH1Sx1SxSPARTA"] why do people still not understand what a flop is, a flop doesnt mean a game is bad, it means the game didnt meet the hype as rage was hyped AAA i believe, and it got an 8(AA) so therefore it is a flopDa_lil_PimP

*Ahem*
System wars.
What's so special about 60fps?What is interesting is that untill this game come up I wansn't liking it, but after seeing the reviews, even if the scores are not the highest, it will be the next game I buy. It just seens to have a superb gunplay, not to mention the divine 60fps.

It's just for fun.Oh that's right on here a game is a flop if it scores .5 less than expected...sheesh.
Biggest flops this year with that logic...Duke Nukem and InFamous 2. People are still crying about the InFamous 2 score on here. Lots of fanboy tears there.
Infamous 2's and Duke Nukem's scores just show that you can't take the scores on this site too seriously. DNF isn't a great game, but it's playable, and it's fun, so it sure isn't a 3.5 game.
In my opinion flops are games that are expected to sell well, and only sell a small amount...like Resistance 3. Duke and InFamous 2 have sold pretty well so I wouldn't consider either flops. Rage will also sell well, so doubt it will flop either.
I'd say Forza 4, just because it had a solid track record on this site for 9.0+ and lemmings were really sure that it was gonna be AAA. Second biggest would probably be Infamous 2. I wasn't sure it would be AAA like some were, but that was the hype.
I don't think DNF was as much a flop as some say it was. I certainly expected it to be horrible, as I think most sensible people did.
[QUOTE="Heil68"]I'm really thinking that's Forza 4..AAA lock HYPE, AAE 8.5 FLOP.TheEroica
Cows are super funny how they always forget about the AAA hyped infamous 2.... silly silly cowsOr Flopza 4.
Mozelleple112
Was infamous 2 really hyped AAA? Last time I had checked it was AA.
what hype? if anything DNF was hyped and people still are crapping their diapers about it. if anything the hype for rage is that ID made it thats probably the only hype i heard of it.not bad not great good easter eggs though
Dragon Age 2 and Duke Nukem Forever came out this year.Ace6301Those games both looked horrible so I wouldn't call them flops. I do think Rage and Crysis 2 are probably the biggest flops of the year.

Cows are super funny how they always forget about the AAA hyped infamous 2.... silly silly cows 50% of the 360 exclusive line up for 2011 flopped. silly 360 fanboys damage controlling all over the place. Its not Infamous 2 flop mattered, since we have some many other great exclusives.Or Flopza 4.
Mozelleple112
Its been hyped for 2 years and ended up being nothing special, oh wait does duke nukem count? Everyone knew it was going to be crappyFirstinstimctGame is fun for me. It's definitely 10x's better then Duke Nukem, that's for sure. It's still one of the best looking FPS on game consoles.
It's the best racing game on game consoles. LOL!! Better then GT5's flop. The game only flopped on GS. Every other game site gave it AAAE scores. LOL!! The same can't be said for GT5 that's for sure. Polyphony is still releasing updates to try to fix it's crappy game after 5 years in development. LMAO!!Or Flopza 4.

On GS it just means it didn't meet the hype gamers were expected it to meet. Doesn't mean it's a bad game at all. Forza 4 is an incredible game. Remember, it only flopped here on GS, which is pretty much meaningless to people outside of this site, where it average a 92.2 score.[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"]It's the best racing game on game consoles.

Does it bother you that much that Forza 4: Flopsport turned out to be so disappointing.. Cheer up you can always play Gears of War 3 Kinect.Or Flopza 4.

But what about Teh Gunstringer, Sesame Street, Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports 2, Raving Rabids, and Rise of Nightmares? :P
Seriously though, those games may suck, but Forza and Gears aren't the only exclusives.
All I'm saying is I had fun with the campaign but boy was that ending awful...it has to be the worst videogame ending ever. Yes, even worse than Enslaved.
SRTtoZ
...how bout Dead Island?
Haven't played it yet, too busy with Dark Souls which is a way better game. But I see it has a 83 on Metacritic.
Agreed. I love the game and it's one of my favorites this year that's for sure.How did RAGE flop exactly? It still got a good score, so using your logic 8.0 and 8.5 means bad game right?

I'm really thinking that's Forza 4..AAA lock HYPE, AAE 8.5 FLOP.Heil68Have you even played Forza 4? Oh, it hasn't been released yet. If the demo is any indication of how well the game is going to look and play, well then I would say it is going to be far from a flop. Not to mention Turn 10's track record(no pun intended) is pretty good.
