So let me get this straight, you people determine a flop by the opinion of ONE person on ONE site? Thats without a shadow of a doubt one of the most idiotic things Ive read online. Matter a fact, I think idiotic is an understatement.

Its just a game we play on this message board. There really needs to be a specific sticky explaining this point.
When a big title (especially exclusives) is coming up, someone takes it upon themselves to create a hype thread. Typically a poll is set up and you vote either AAAA (10), AAA ( 9, 9.5), AA ( 8, 8.5), A (in the 7s), etc..
Then when the game is scored it either meets the hype, or flops based on the poll results. If a game is hyped AAAA, but instead gets a 9.5 then it is considered a flop. Not a bad game by any means, but a flop in the SW game. On that same note if a game is hyped to be A, but scores an 8 then it exceeded its hype and there is no "ownage".
We don't honestly care about the reviewers opinion when it comes to the hype/flop metagame.
GT5 was a huge flop and I accepted the ownage. Didnt keep me from absolutely loving the game and pouring way too much time into it. On the other hand I thought MGS4 was pretty bad, but it scored perfect and exceeded all hype. As a huge MGS fan I thought it sucked, but that has nothing to do with the SW game.
We all know that this has nothing to do with the real world. Its just one of the many things that provide lulz in SW.
