It's only the second game on the list, but can you figure out what the list is for?

(i'll just tell you-- games that we suppose to be so cool and unique, probably a bit revolutionary, and ended up failing super hard. And these games weren't just hyped as good games like lair or whatever, they were hyped as OMG changing how we see gaming games. God. these games suck. )

Yeah, disappointment of the year. Amazing concept, lackluster execution.

By the way, I loved Spore. I also enjoy this game. Just because it flops, doesn't mean it is bad.

Scribblenauts was overhyped, that was Nintedo DS users being ridiculous, but was it a bad game?

Yes, it actually was a bad game. Pretty much broken--> most stuff didn't work properly, controlling it is nearly impossible, repedtive as crap.

I agree Scribblenauts reminded me a lot of the Spore hype, I said it probably since the day people started hyping it. But unlike Spore, Scribblenauts didn't really under deliver. Scribblenauts does everything they said it did. It's just the concept of the game isn't as revolutionary as people originally though. When it comes to Spore though. That was hyped to mars as a revolution and GOAT. It didn't turn out to be anything like what we thought it would be. Scores aside, because they both scored well. When it comes to Spore, that was a much bigger underachiever. But blame the internet for hyping it in the first place.

I'm glad I stopped hyping Spore well before its release. There are probably some other games that could go on that list, but I don't remember them off the top of my head right now.

Wait a second. Isn't Daikatana still the champion?

These games atleast are very good games, its just that when compared to the hype they are meh. Daikatana was actually a bad game.

I think we should make a list for the games that met the hype.

Games like LittleBigPlanet

Scribblenauts was a good game. The execution was absolutly horrible. The Controlsare among the worst ever.

You know, if you think so, that's great. Some thought so about Spore as well. I also enjoyed Too Human a good amount as well (i'd consider it a 8.0). However, I just found Scribblenauts unplayble mostly.

Where in the OP does it say either Spore or Scribblenauts are "bad" games? I find this assumption made on the part of games that "flop" pretty funny.

Oh, no, I frankly don't care what it scored. It actually did great here, much like spore. I just felt the game was disappointing.

Well Scribblenauts had absolutely horrible controls.

There's nothing more that I hate in a videogame than dying/failing a mission because of broken controls.

The concept of scribblenauts can never be a perfect game.

It is fun to play around with yet its just impossible to make it a 10 game.

I hyped a 8.5 and received and im happy with my purchase and 5th cell did a wonderful job

Where does it say "bad?" I would think that it is a comment towards the game's bad controls. Which has been most evident.

I was so hyped for this game and it turned out to be nothing but a broken piece of crap. My biggest let down since SSBB.

Does it even matter? I hyped it before it was released, could care less. I still liked it, maybe not as much, but I don't understand how your glad you stopped hyping it? Does it make you feel good?
