So this year, we've had several flops so far. We've had Halo Wars on Xbox 360 (Hyped AA. Got a 6.5)

We've had The Conduit, which also got 6.5, hype was A.

We've had Arma II on the PC, scored a 8.0, hype was AAA.

We had Scribblenauts on the DS, hyped AAA and got an 8.0.

Which one of these purpoted 'flops' duid you enjoy playing the most? Come on, open up... you aren't telling me that you can't enjoy a game unless it meets the hype...?!?

Anyway, on my part, it was Scribblenauts. It's so darn fun, I just wish they'd fixed the controls though.

Still a great game.

What about you?

Come on guys, grow up. Just because System Wars hyped it to some level, and it didn't meet the (often unreasonable) amount of expectations doesn't mean the game isn't good...!!!

I enjoyed Halo Wars the most. The lemmings really set themselves up with that one. "Crappy spin off" could almost be seen near the title. Lemmings need to watch out for Halo 3 ODST next. I wonder what the hype for that is.

how did it flop? It got an 8.5? Personally, I've never played it, but I hate these days where if the game is not a AAA title, no one will play it. Less games are coming out each year.

The Conduit. There I said it. I really liked the game and I feel I should vote for that.

Yet again, it's the only one I played on that list :P

I haven't played any flops this year, but past flops have been pretty good. Usually it's the ones with high scores that end up sucking to me.

Agreed. Kind of like how I enjoy Army of Two more than Infamous or Resistance 2. Yeah, most would say I'm crazy, but it is true. I get more out of the lower scoring games than I do out of the so-called great games.

I liked the conduit, Halo Wars just was not as good as people hyped it out to be. Of course, since it wasn't Bungie behind it, I guess it makes sense.

System Wars HYPE: AAA Score: AA If it doesn't meet the hype, it flops as per System Wars rules. It's strange I know, but there you have it. And that's why I made this topic. To show people that 'flop' is not necessarily a bad game, just a tad overhyed.

Normal people don't want games to flop.

789shadow
Of course they don't. But what happens after the game has 'flopped?' Will you cancel your pre order? Or will you go ahead and play the game anyway, framing your own opinion about the game?

Mass effect has a 91 on Metacritic. The fans voted it an 8.7 which means it has a higher rating then Killzone 2.

why even bring up hype? judge the game in front of you- not based off broken promises during development and certainly not within the frame of some video game forums forecasted rating from one website. who cares?

Halo Wars is a great game. Simple but fun and epic. I want to get Scribblenauts though.

Thats right. though the official hype was AAA
