flop is based on what the game is hyped as
ME was hyped AAA and it got AA
that means it floped
floping dosent mean its a bad game
just that it didnt live up to hype
8.5/10 is a gd score, those who were expecting it to get insanely high scores were always going to be disapointed. Its got an average score of like 92% on gemerankings, so it did not flop. Same with uncharted, 8 is a gd score. Oh and would all you ps3 owners stop saying mass effect is a flop cause in that case uncharted is a biger flopvanntheman
u don't understand.
Mass Effect was said to be AAA by most lemmings, so its hype was AAA, it scored AA, so it flopped
Uncharted was said to be AA by most cows, Uncharted got AA, so it did not flop

Mass Effect = FLOP

It was hyped AAA and got AA meaning it was hyped 9 or greater and got below a 9 therefore its a flop. Still 8.5 is a great score but it did not meet the hype. You're thinking of flop in terms of failure when its not a failure but its a flop. Flop and failure don't go in the same sentence.
:lol: All the crap cows got from lemmings. Now look at the lemmings.Ragnarok1051
It's not even on the same scale as the Sony damage control.

it's still AAA, everyone else is rating it 9.0 or higher
Mass Effect by these definitions has only 'flopped' on Gamespot. From what I know 9.2 (as an average) is AAA. No one should take one review as the definitive review. Thats why Metacritic and such sites are life savers. 9.2= really good if you didn't know.ganon92
Ohh so now we go by the averagees?

Yes but as I'm sure lots of sony fans will tell you soon enough, within System Wars it is Gamespot's opinion that matters. Whether you agree or not, while you post in this forum you are forced to follow the teachings of the Almighty Gamespot as it claims to be the source of objective truth in such clearly subjective matters....So yeah Mass Effect flopped.
Critic Score: 9.3
Verdict? Not a flop. The game is of AAA quality.

On here its a flop. People stick to GS scores only ok no more averages or using gamerankings or whatever. GS scores matter here. Lems dont change the rules now when you guys enforced it to the cows and sheep. it was hyped AAA and got AA here so therefore its a flop here.

Isnt it ironic? What goes around comes around i guess. I think il enjoy this flop. Anyone remember the guy who made the thread 'OMG 2 DAYS UNTIL THE GREATEST GAME EVER DROPS, Wii and PS3 owners SELL YOUR CONSOLES AND BUY A 360!!!'
just feel bad for that guy...

uncharted isnt a bigger flop and you are just being a sulking hypocrite. you sound like the type that mocks every ps3 flopped game even though they can do as good (or better in scores as ME) RFOM? was that not a flop? ME flopped harder!!! oh and what happened to "gamerankings doesnt matter".
I have just returned from the store and was all too too happy to lay down the $$$ to own the Flop and can't wait to get home to play the heck outa this Flop ! :P
Also picked up Rock Band - The 360 just kicks so much backside !
I'm in VG heaven baby !
Sheesh, it's R&C all over again.
Mass Effect was hyped AAA by most people, including me. Therefore, the official hype was AAA. THe score it recieved was 8.5, which is a AA score. A AA score is below a AAA. It flopped. Not by much, but it flopped. It's that simple.
It did flop. Its official hype was AAA, and it only acheived AA, therefore it flopped.
It doesn't mean its a bad game, and I'm sure almost everyone with a 360 on this board will be getting Mass Effect on day one, but a flop it is.

But it's still a AAA caliber game. That can't be denied.
this game is no where near a flop. Check the metascore..its like 92 I think. Gamespot likes to give good games low ratings..(ratchet and clank)theshireling
Sorry, but metacritic and gamerankings don't count according to lemmings. We only go by gamespot here.
its not a flop the only place it floped was here because GS is stupidJetB1ackNewYear
It is a flop because lemmings always preached that only gamespot counts.
it still got an average of over 90 on gamerankings so it is AAAvanntheman
See above.
