Did Final Fantasy XIII meet hype?So how many major flops are we at this year? There's been BioFlop 2, Heavy Flop, Alan Flop, Flopdown 2, Final Flop 14, Flop of Honor, Flopout: New Vegas, Gran Flop 5, Donkey Flop Returns, and now Epic Flop. Am I missing any?

I bet GS doesn't have the balls to underrate a game from from Activision :P.
Thats probably true. Activision would just buy Gamespot and make them make new map packs for Black Ops and have Kevin V, Chris Watters, and Tom McShea review them with perfect scores and call them a great value
If you are a Disney fan, Disneyland especially, and liked N64 era platformers you will probably love this game.You mean Tom McShae hates DK64 and Banjo Kazooie? :shock: Well, I wouldn't know that... ;). I just read the review, and it just feels too harsh. This is the kind of game, where if you fit the target demographic (Disney fan + Platformer fan) you could easily get swept up by the experience. Unless you want to look at it with a critical eye and spoil the experience for yourself.[QUOTE="sam_nintendo"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] I know, it just seems inconsistent to me. I might pick this up eventually, it seems like an enjoyable game, in part because of the Disneyland nostalgia clouding my thoughts. Bigboi500

Hmm I'm not sure. I want to say no since most FF games are hyped AAA, but I didn't pay too much attention to 13

I was going to say Splinter Cell but everytime calls that a flop everyone goes nuts and pulls out like 4 different hype threads where it was hyped AA and in the official all the cows inflated the AAA scores just to see it flop.
But yes, the others definitely did flop, including Flople 3 (or Failble 3)

I'd say it flopped. It's about as grey as Heavy Flop.First time I saw gameplay footage, I thought it looked mediocre. Guess I was right. lolDragonfireXZ95No I guess Gamespot thinks you were right... this score is 18 points below the Metascore. I canceled my pre-order for this the day before, probably the right move since it's not seeming to be worth full price (not that I could afford it at the moment anyway), but this score seems stupidly below the average.

Flop =/= Bad Game
Flop = Not meeting the Hype.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World is an Amazing movie, yet it flopped in the Box Office when it was in Theaters.
(in other words Yes Donkey Kong Country Returns Flopped)

People expected a AAAE for Donkey Kong.
It got AAE.
Thus the Flop.
Pretty harsh. From what I've played so far, it's pretty good. A little rough around the edges, but it's heart is in the right place.
[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]Wow. That's actually kinda depressing that it scored so low.GeneralShowzerYes. I keep earing about this game as one of the Wii's finest this year.Too bad. The reviewer is right you know. This game looks terribly outdated. Compare this with something like Mario Galaxy or Ratchet and Clank.
The negative points had nothing to do with the visuals....Do people even read reviews anymore?
Oh this came out? I'm renting it tomorrow then. 6.0 seems low for this game, from videos it looks like something I'll find tons of fun playing and find it deserving of a 8+ score. Weird how the games that get scores below 8 on Gamespot end up being some of the most unique/fun games I've played.

Outdated as in outdated gameplay.I thought it'd score in the 7 range, but I guess it's much worse. It's too bad, the story seems good, but gameplay is and should always be the most important factor.
