Take into account:

the amount of pre-release hype among gamers and critics, and across the gaming board in general of Internet

the expectations by gamers leading up to the game's review and release.

the general belief that the game would score AAAE or AAAAE

I'm not bashing or hating, just want the people's opinion on which they consider to be a bigger flop.

You do know this is going to get locked. I am glad Tom Shea gave it this score. When I watched gametrailers review, they were bashing on it so I thought we were going to get an unbiased review but then it ended up getting a 9.1

Twilight Princess the difference between 8.8-90 is much smaller than 7.5-90 but it is obvious from reactions that .2 had much more weight.

I don't see the point in locking this. It's a thread about the bigger flop, out of these two. Considering how the 2 latest main Zelda games have both flopped.

I've played both. SS is the better game(TP was the worst 3D zelda) but SS is the bigger flop on SW.

Whoa, the damage control is high in this thread. Just pick an option and motivate that choice. It's not complicated.

There is no other game that has flopped as dramatically as these two, only one exception, and that is GT5. So... This thread is this valid.

LOL

You can even join the three most recent and biggest SW flops (Doom 3, Twilight Princess and Gran Turismo 5) and Skyward Sword would still win. 7.5? Fo' Real?

Not really trolling, as I am not trying to offend or disturb the sheep. I just want an opinion on which game is a bigger flop, as I wasn't here around the TP review periods, and have only heard of it.

Skyward Sword is the biggest flop of all time!

But I'm still enjoying it much more than TP, or any other game I've played this year for that matter.

If we go by SW rules, Skyward Sword, but I'm not about to let a forum decide what words mean. I felt TP, while good, was quite disappointing. Meanwhile, SS seems to be a game I will enjoy immensely.

a 7.5 doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Gamespot even said that if you're a fan of Zelda you will fall in love with this game.

I know, I have no problem with the score myself. It's just those that use the number to exactly make SS look bad, when in all respects it's done very well critically, and well here too in the right perspective.
