Why do people consider Zelda: TP a flop?

If it's hyped "AAAA" or "AAAAE" it can be a flop if it doesn't get that score.

I'm telling you, no AAA game is ever a flop.

this reminds me of that thread about why we have the 0.5 increment system. Everybody says TP flopped and laughed at it and yet it was only 0.2 away from being AAA and not a flop. It's stupid. Personally I feel TP is one of the top games out there, and GS was kind of out of line considering how seriously everyone takes the AA versus AAA debateGunSmith1_basic

No I think the Sound score was lower because of the really crappy Wiimote speaker :P

Had to turn that off the first time I heard that junk :lol:

Because after years of delays and unbelievable hype it turned out to be Ocarina of Time with better graphics.

That said, I played through the gamecube version twice. Liked it for what it was, even though it didn't wow me as much as other zelda games.

I think your misunderstanding me. Zelda OOT is probably my favorite game of all time (tied with TES 4 Oblivion) but in almost 10 years nintendo didnt advance the series at all. I had already done everything in TP before in OOT 10 years earlier. So yeah that was really disappointing. Im now starting to realize that all nintendo does with Zelda is recycle everything we have all done before. For that reason, Zelda is more or less dead to me. Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask will always be some of my favorite games but its really hard for me to get excited for a new Zelda when I know its gonna be the same thing that I've already done.

▲ It was hyped AAAA. It recieved an 8.8. You tell me. ▲

It was hyped as a AAA game at least and it got a AA score. This rule doesn't only apply to Zelda but every other hyped game as well.

I personally think it's one of the best games this generation.

You must be new here,

Hi! Welcome to System Wars, where trolls and anger awaitthrough a hellpit masked in a videogame discussion forum.

I'm referring to SW, not GS as a whole.

[QUOTE="MrJack3690"]

Because even though a flop is defined as a complete failure On SW it's a flop because it was hyped at AAA (9.0 - 9.9) and got an 8.9 GC and 8.8 Wii

So really, it is not a complete failure, therefore not a flop, but everyone on here will say otherwise. Because words don't mean what they're really supposed to on here. And by SW standards that is a flop for not meeting hype

DroidPhysX

Did it live up to the hype? No

Therefore its a flop...Doesnt matter what a flop is defined as. In GS it was a flop

If you read my post that's exactly what I just said, no need to restate it :P

I said "Because even though a flop is defined as a complete failure On SW it's a flop because it was hyped at AAA (9.0 - 9.9) and got an 8.9 GC and 8.8 Wii" and also "by SW standards that is a flop for not meeting hype"

just also said I don't agree with it, but yeah that's exactly what I said

Because people thought it was gonna be better than OOT.

We don't use that here, only GS for ownage, and it got AA instead of AAA and caused many bad and lol things to happen in 2006.

I joined a few months before it came out.XD

Games that don't score what they originally were hype is a flop in System Wars.
