Poll Which game flopping would hurt the most for fanboys? (209 votes)

The Order 1886 6%
Bloodborne 14%
Uncharted 4 41%
Rime 0%
Zelda U 9%
Super Smash Bros Wii U 5%
Bayonetta 2 1%
Xenoblade Chronicles X 0%
Sunset Overdrive 1%
Quantum Break 0%
Rise of the Tomb Raider 1%
Halo 5 Guardians 21%

Given the Destiny flopping and Hyrule Warriors miraculously scoring an 8, I thought it'd be an interesting poll to say which flop people think might hurt each respective console the most. I included 4 games per platform to make it as fair possible. I only included exclusives since multi-platform flops affects us all!

Note: Even though Tomb Raider will eventually be multiplatform I included because that might be particularly damaging given that MS probably payed for exclusivity.

Of that list, Uncharted 4 would completely crush most of the users on this board.

I went with Uncharted 4 but it could be Halo 5 as well. I would say Zelda U but they have experienced flops before.

@TheEroica: Got to say Bloodborne will be the first fall, which will then set-up for the massive butthurt to follow when Uncharted 4 flops.

@TigerSuperman: I think after the destiny fiasco I'm willing to entertain any game on that list or otherwise as potential flops no matter the pedigree of the dev.

Watched the blood borne trailer from tgs today. Looks cool, but we'll see!

I'd be pretty hurt if Bayonetta 2 ended up blowing chunks (doubt it though), though I'd be more hurt as a Bayonetta fan than I would be as a Nintendo fan. Same with Tomb Raider, I'm a much bigger fan of the franchise than I am about the timed exclusivity of the next game for XBO. If it failed there I worry that the future of the franchise would be in jeopardy.

Though, as far as somewhere like System Wars goes, if Uncharted flopped hard there'd probably be the most chatter around that. I can see two potential reactions. If say all reviews all around were bad or under expectations people will be pointing at the cows and laughing. If say GS gives it a 7 and everyone else a 11/10 then I imagine cows here would be threatening to close their GS account so they can move to Giant Bomb or IGN and writing harassing messages to reviewers and GS staff.

Well TheCorridor1886 is destined to flop, and even cows know it. The last zelda flopped so it wouldn't be such a big deal if this one did too.

As of right now I'd definitely say Bloodborne, because we're close to release and its getting the most hype from cows.

Bloodborne

So far the devs of the Souls franchise can do no wrong. If this were to flop it would be a major blow to all cows.

Naughty Dog needs to retire the Uncharted franchise.

Uh where were you when the TLOU review came out? Tormentos has a stroke that day.
The number of Cows here out numbers the Lems. If Halo MCC flopped there would be like 6 people pissed about it and 200 trolling them.

If Uncharted flops we will get gems like this one.

Wow.

I'm a cow but even I have to admit that's some epic damage control. I defended most of McShea's reviews because he's just as bitter as I am.

Uncharted 4, i dont think bloodborne has a big fanbase, they are just dedicated. Also a lot of people dont have trust in most of those games, order/halo5 etc. so they wouldnt hit hard imo

They have already Flopped a Naughty Dog on here it seems, but not really a flop in real terms.

Zelda or Mario will give some kids a heart attack.

If I were to guess based on these forums? Bloodborne is the most likely candidate, especially as we've seen Little of UC4, and we all remember UC3 (so I think more tehn a few people are cautiously optimistic about that game, rather then right out on the hypetrain).

The Order 1886 could cause a bit of back lash, though tbh it's more than likely a 6 or 7 anyway. Reviews will be along the lines of looks great, game play is poor.

Uncharted 4 flopping (it won't) would start a riot among the Cows and would create a Lem insurgence for a few days.

Halo 5 flopping would be a handful of Lemmings being trolled by 200 Cow alt accounts.

Any game flopping on Wii U would have sheep shrugging and carrying on as before.

Definitely this with Bloodborne in a distant second. Cow flops are always the worst. The hype is always too extreme and the DC is always pathetic.

I would say the new Zelda, but after 2 main entry back to back flops, sheep have learned (or died).

@ConanTheStoner: yeah, I mean Zelda is a good choice, but the last couple console releases have cast at least a legitimate shade of doubt that the game will always be legendary with every release. Also, significantly less sheep roam these pastures since that 8.8 (#legendary)

I just don't see people freaking as much this time around... especially when coupled with the fact it would be a massive flop from naughty dog, who somehow carries arguably the most clout in gaming today.

Cows would commit mass suicide and the ones that braved through would offer some of the very worst damage control in human history.

I don't think anybody is expecting much from The Order: 1886.

Pretty graphics can't cover up the same tired old gameplay that we've all seen from the vids.

Nintendrones are definitely the most viscous breed of fan-boys. The meltdowns that would proceed from either Zelda U and/or Xenoblade Chronicles flopping would make for epic viewing.

Bloodborne can't flop,they played it very safe, take Dark Souls/Demon souls and add improvements. It will become the Call of Duty of hardcore games.

True, but i'd put Uncharted 4 abit on top since it's the playstation flagsip title,a dn it's by "Naughty Gods".

If either fo those 2 flops on MC and GS, the shitstorm will be amazing.

Sheep are precious about their Ninty franchises. Cows are morons, so they'll run off to Metacritic, because they're herpaderp like that.

Lemmings don't have exclusives, so nothing can flop for them.

Anything Sony first party. Cows have the tendency to hype up every last exclusive game like it's the second coming of gaming Jesus and every time something flops damage control like champs. They always go to the "other" review source that supports their opinion, and will do anything in their power to write off Gamespot's review.

Bloodborne is already at that level of hype. It would probably be the most epic flop.

After halo 4 Halo 5 isn't going to be a flop. Everyone will have low expectations and 343 should be able to get a MC score of around 70% easy. MC collection is what I'm worried about being mediocre.
