I would say Too Human. (Don't judge because I own a PS3)

I believe the only redeeming quality of Lair was it's graphics? While Too Human had a lot of flaws and that annoying death sequence? Not sure never played either of them.

But Lair had dragons, c'mon...DRAGONS!!

Lair: Hyped AAA got a 4.5

Too Human: Hyped AAA got a 5.5

The cows will say Too Human and the Lemmings will say Lair.

One thing with Too Human is posters who wweren't Lemmings where hyping it.

Too human was in production for 10 years and had astronomical production costs.

Lair

Too Human is actually a decent game. Lair on the other hand is arguably on par with Legendary for atrociousness

Lair was just another game that cows hyped because of beautiful trailer just to see it flop. Cows always do that nothing new. Too Human was being hyped AAA even AAAA and some called it the Final Fantasy, or Metal Gear Solid 4 killed. Been in development for 10 years. Too Human is easily the bigger flop

Lair was a bigger flop as most didn't expect it to flop, unlike Too Human. Sure many didn't expect Too Human to flop to that degree but still. I believe Lair is the right answer.

The previews were so damn misleading, everyone except maybe one or two site were being really nice and saying it played well. But when they actually reviewed it, the dropped 5/10's left and right.

All things considered, in the REAL WORLD it's obviously Too Human.

In SW it's a toss up, due to the fanboy population.

Too Human was SK's 10 year the making, super Online Coop, M$ paid for exclusive, Trilogy. It had So much hype, even after the demo, people were reserving it in record numbers.

Dennis Dyack went on a rampage at NEOGAF, further adding to it's ownage.

ALSO, to the noobs saying LAIR had AAA hype, stop trolling and lying. Lair was AA hype.

They could argue about it as much as they want but that still won't make it true. Meely because a game had astronomical production costs and 10 years in production doesn't increase the hype for it automatically. I have no idea why people are saying this and why they think it was the biggest flop. I think Lair was a much bigger flop in terms of hype and Too Human and Haze are pretty much equal in floppage terms.

I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find afew lemmings doing that. But it would be the same thing with Lair and Haze.

True true, Haze was supposed to be a Halo killer and Lair was the 1st coming before LBP became the 2nd coming.

Lair was a much bigger flop anyone who disagrees is a fanboy. Lair was hyped like some ps3 saviour while too human wasnt hyped as much especially after its lame appearance at E3 06 or whenever it was shown. Alot of lemmings agreed too human would suck but cows on the other hand were hyping lair like it will kill 360. so Lair is a major flop and it also scored lower then too human

Lair was supposed to be a graphical powerhouse that would wipe the floor with 360s.

Too Human was plagued with problems from the start and most fans were just hoping that it would get fix and be a good game. But it was quite obvious to everyone it would be either a failure or success.

The answer it Lair.

Unless you live in Cow-Land where SquareEnix are evil, backstabbing traitors, the PS3 is selling well and GRAW isn't a 360 exclusive, the answer has to be Lair.

Oh so we're basing flops on production time and not fan hype now?

Lair: not.

I don't care how long it took to make. Lair had dragons.....that you CAN'T control! Rent Reign of fire. You get as much control in that piece of dung. They were both weak, but I enjoyed Too Human a little. Lair sucked!

Just about everyone was laughing at Too Human before it was released, while people still thought that Lair could be a good game.

I'd definitely have to give it to Lair.

can people stop using this stupid arguement? the game WAS NOT developed for 10 years straight. It underwent many engine-transitions, story and gameplay changes under it's time-lap. They also put it to rest for years while they did other games. Too Human (the one in the stores now) is only 3-4 years old.

Yeah Spore is definitely the bigger flop. Hermits/PC fanboys said that game had an easy lock on GOTY/AAAA. The gaming media said the game would be revolutionary and groundbreaking and hyped it to hell. "zomg it's teh guy who made teh sims this is gunna be revolootionary!!!"

Lair flopped way harder with its low scores
