Biggest flop of the year so far?

ZombiU.

why you so obsess with that game lol

Xbox 360.

Even the Vita is getting some.

THe 360 and the Xbone by far.

haha

Yeah, it's pretty chill, man. Whacking zombies and shit. Very hardcore stuff. Nintendo style. Don't leave a fella hangin'.

Personally Rome 2 has been the biggest disappointment. The game has come a long way since launch, but that's no excuse for such a poor launch.

haven't played any, but on these forums EASILY two souls. Game looked nice and cool when they showed it off and cows on here talked about, but next day after it came out. it was put asleep and never spoken again and sent down the slaughter belt

ha

GTA5

PS3

A game that get's discriminated on being a game more over than anything at all rather than the game itself = / = flop. Especially when it scored a 9.0 here. If you bring metacritic up the cows will bring The Last of Us. There's no way to win the argument here.

Rome 2 definitely, it was hyped to death by Hermits and the result was yet another gigantic flop (like Company of Heroes 2)

When it comes to exclusives the PC isn't all that great. Their top 3 exclusives are:

1) Out of the Park baseball 2007
2) Baldurs Gate II
3) Grim Fandango

Can't even beat PS3's top 3. And when you add to the fact that the PC platform is decades old, you will realize how sad it actually is.

No doubt.

If you're talking about games, it's still TLOU.

If it's systems, that would be the Wii U. Even though sales increased do to a Zelda bundle, it still has done miserably for most of this year. The PSVita would be the 2nd worse. The PS3, XBox 360 aren't even in the same category. Not sure why anyone would include the XB1 or PS4, as neither system has launched yet. When they do they will easily outsell what the Wii U has done this year.

r u serious

@blackace: If you're looking at it purely by Gamespot score then maybe, Rome 2 is still pretty big. Rome 2 has been hyped AAA and by many AAAA for at least two years. Rome 2 flopped across the board. Reviews were way under what people expected and the game was an absolute mess at launch.

Gamespot gave TLoU an 8.0 but the rest of the industry loved the game and it has a really high Metacritic rating because of it.

I know this place is System Wars and thus logic is very shallow, but it's still really stupid to think that in 2013 Gamespot is the only source that matters. Especially considering how 90% of people here often dismiss Gamespot's opinion anyways.

Obviously The Last Flop

Gamespot's redesign.

your face.

Website is much better, little less features ATM, but no stupid ass bonks every weekend

no

just slow ass pages, a stupid new tou, removed the level 10 rule and others

it's awful.

It was hyped to a 10 IIRC, it got a 9 and now its been downgraded to an 8.

Fuse. Insomniac tried creating a multiplat game and epically failed.

I didn't make the rules of SW. Yes Rome 2 flopped as well, but I think more people cared about TLOU on here then Rome 2. I'm not sure why Beyond: Two Souls is on the list, as it got a AAAE (9) on GS. I still passed on it, cause I don't think it's worth $60. I'll pick it up later for 1/2 the price.

The only right answer is WiiU.

How could Ninty fail so bad after Wii?

They shouldve looked into innovating more.

My biggest disappointment right now is Pokemon. Not liking it as much as I thought i would.

God of War Ascension... Huge step down from the originals not only in reviews but sales.

The Last of Us.

I'm not ignoring the hype the PC gaming community gave Rome 2. When that flopped they didn't say a damn thing. Sony fanboys got all upset at TLoU's score while PC gamers didn't make a fuss. That's why you think more people cared about TLoU. Console fanboys in general are very vocal.

Biggest flop for me, Rome II.

Exactly.

Hell, no one hyped it more than me. And I was the first to say how disspaointing the launch was. It's a decent game now, 5 patches later, but the first rome is still my favorite :(

Not only that but Beyond: Two blu-ray movies was not only hyped ot death by cows, but Sony gave it a marketing budget 100 times larger than Rome II had. AND the Metacritic score for Rome II is HIGHER than Beyond's.

So yeah, Beyond is definitley the bigger flop.

Rome 2.

I think that Sonic Lost World has been a big flop mainly because Wii U owners were hyping it.

Rome 2 maybe?

TLOU?

Hmm personally for me GTA V was the game i was most hyped for and disappointed me the most...

Not sure if trolling...

The PC is pretty much THE system to own right now if you can afford it and there isnt any signs of that changing any time soon.. the ps3 and xbox 360 library is actually quite pathetically bad bar a handful of exclusives.

Oh and I havent been following it too closely as the total war series has never really interested me that much, but it seems they are patching the hell out of that game weekly to bring it up to the standards its fanbase wanted...

I don't understand the TC's diatribe against CoH 2. Kevin only flopped it because he didn't know how to counter german half tracks. As a sequel its really very solid and fixes some issues the first game had. I've put more hours into CoH2 than any other game this year.

Rome 2 even after patches feels lacking for some reason, I just can't get into it bugs or no.

My vote goes to Beyond though, review scores regardless the game is a narrative mess. The second half of the game is packed with laughably bad dialogue and the ending makes Mass Effect 3's conclusion look like a profound piece of art. Meaningful choices are non existent and there is no sense of danger since you can't die. This is coming from someone who liked Heavy Rain.

This is the only correct answer.

@chocolate1325: Were they? must have missed that...

@I_can_haz: Wii U is most fun Ive had with a console in a long time...

Gamespot review of Luigi's Mansion 2

Sonic lost world...

Lets hope that third Sonic exclusive gets it right.

Rome 2 without a doubt

might actually be a 2d sidescroller?

Gotta be The Flop of Us.

*surprised to see TLOU isn't in the poll

Of the selections, Rome II. I'd say Beyond but it really depends on what you're expecting to get out of the game.

Remember when sonic was good?

Uhh wasint that far ago. I mean genirations did come out.

Sonic was hyped for ages and fizzled so badly.

Beyond was looked down on for months before it was out. I've played it and tend to agree with a lot of the dissent. I preferred Heavy Rain and I wish I'd have bought Dragon's Crown instead.
