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 flop

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

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

He clearly just doesn't know what a flop is. It did flop. It failed to meet it's hype of 9.0+. Yes it is still an amazing game; nobody contests that.

Get over it and move on.

*also, there's a stick for this.

wow how many times do we have to go over this. AAA but AA = FLOP. It flopped on SW. This is not IGN or Gametrailers or anywhere else. As far as SW goes this flopped. Where were you when R&C flopped here but no where else? Where is your Uncharted thread? A flop is a 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.

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.

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.

So wait, when a game flops on gamespot but not gamerankings, sheep and cows are not allowed to criticise the score that gamespot gave and absolutely have to admit that their game is a flop. However, when the same happens to a lemming, they are allowed to use gamerankings and speak their criticism over gamespot's review? Hypocritical, much?

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".

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.

I have a 360 i tend to lean towards the lemming point of view, really i'm more in the middle, but ME flopped. Get over it. It isn't the first great game to flop and it wont be the last.

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.

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

It definitely flopped here at GS. I'm still picking it up during lunch though, and will probably still highly enjoy the game. 40 hours of gameplay, wow.

Uncharted Didnt flop -- hyped AA.
Mass Effect Floped on gamespot. Suck it up, happens to a lot of games (Zelda:TP, Metroid Prime 3, R&C Future, etc).

you cant just "Change" from using gamespot only to Gamerankings cause of one game.
