Why would someone ever want a game to flop?

They don't own the system with the game on it, so they want it to flop to make themselves feel like their not missing out.

i don't bear negative feelings for any game

but i loved mgs4, and i love the mgs series i knew i was going to buy it day one regardless of reviews

but it would've been hilarious to see the people who invest too much of their lives in the gaming sites like these, hyping things to kingdom come, its just funny to see people squirm

its like seeing someone get hit by a car, its kinda funny in a sick way

ok, maybe thats just me

but if mgs4 had gotten a 5 i'd think it was the funniest thing on earth when ps3 fanboys flipped out even though i loved the game

i don't need critical acclaim or public opinion to justify my gaming likes

If you are head of a company who is releasing a competing game around the same time as another game, you would want the competitors game to flop so as to hopefully reduce its sales whilst boosting your games sales.DustAmulet

the only reason I want games to flop is to see enemy fanboys react. I love it. As long as its not on my system of choice, it's all good. Also, I want the AAA game count of my system of choice to surpass the enemy console. Fart_Storm

Friday From "Robinson Cruzoe" springs to mind.

Perhaps I cant grasp how a game doing badly helps the gaming industry. Fanboyism isnt really an excuse for wanting someone or thing to do badly, thats like saying you only root for the Patriots and want every other team too lose, well that certainly isnt good for the NFL is it.Maraos

this explains everything, system wars does not appear to be based on the real world. logic is teh fail here.

The enemy console? Good lord you people are so far entrenched thinking that this is a war thats its sad. Also, why does someone who is sad because their game didnt do well give you joy? I wasnt aware sorrow was funny. (However the guy with the hit by a car analogy wins this thread lo:D)Maraos

Fanboy sorrow is hilarious. I want TEARS from enemy fanboys when a game flops. On the flip side, I have almost cried when PS3 games flopped, too. It goes both ways in the war.

If the game sucks, it deserves to flop. There.

You take this "War" too seriously. Put your "Principles" to better use.
