What is the biggest flop of this gen so far?

?!?!?!? A handful LMAO!! Maybe you never visited N4G or NeoGaf two month before these games launched. Every PS4 fanboys were hyping these games like they were the greatest games every made. Then after the scores came out they backtracked and tries to damage control the results as usual. Ask any PS4 fanboys and they still think FlopClub is the best next gen racing game. What a joke. The only thing PS4 fanboys didn't hype was PS-TV. They still think PSNow is the future. lol!!

Didn't anyone actually read all that crap Elo Tormo wrote? Yikes, waste of time.

Halo: MCC. I almost bought an Xbox One for this game alone. Still feeling happy I didn't preorder one on faith alone and waited on the reviews. The fact that MP was unplayable for a good majority of people a month+ was just unacceptable

I wonder if this isn't why we only got Gears 1 rather than the entire series. Halo:MCC might have scared them away from remaster projects that big. And I'm shocked that Gears remaster is $40. That is too damned high for a remaster of a single game that old.

@tormentos: first of all, dont multi-quote numerous people in the same post. its obnoxious. second, what meltdown? you dont like people being rude back to you, but you think it is a-okay to act like an obnoxious brat? well, sounds like you need to gtfo of SW if you cant handle it then, not me, lol. besides, are you serious? you STILL didnt point out how the Xbox One was a flop. you just challenged me to facts. i dont think you ow how this works... you are the accuser, so you bring evidence to the table. show me how the xbox one hasnt sold 15m worldwide yet and how their numbers arent about much higher over last gen in this same time period. and lastly, i never said anything about how the xbox has sold superior numbers to the PS4. it is a fact the PS4 has sold more. so i dont know why you are trying to lie... to make yourself look better? if you are just going to act like a fanboy and an ass, i'm not going to be patient with you. put up or shut up.

There are a lot of games that flopped this gen.

Oh yes it has, easily more than 5 million by now, and don't even try to imply something insanely stupid like the other Halo games grew legs years after release...

October 2014 (one month before release): http://www.gamespot.com/articles/60-million-halo-games-sold/1100-6423052/

July 2015 (two months ago): http://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-series-reaches-65-million-units-sold/1100-6428844/

When you're wrong you're wrong dude, take it like a man.

Okay so Uncharted Collection is a rush, lazy remastered game, is that better? Seeing how Halo MCC is a remastered game also, not a remake.

Titanfall.

PS4 from launch until Bloodborne. Killzone, Knack, Driveflop, The order, Infamous secondbum. Just awful. And now they are in the second drought. From Bloodborne until....?

Devil's Third. I, personally, had high hopes for that game. Itagaki-san :(

1. Destiny

2. MCC

3. The Order 1886

What do you people consider a flop? is it how many units it sells, is it the review score here or on Metacritic, is it a combination of all of those, or perhaps is it something else?

Some of the games/consoles people are saying is just plain stupid, but it is SW after all where stupidity reigns supreme.

You should take your act to the Metacritic forum, then. This is GameSpot.

Here on GameSpot, Halo: The Master Chief Collection was hyped as a 9/10 scoring game and received a 6/10 score. Therefore, it's the definition of "flop" here on SW.

If that makes you sad, you should convince your brethren to rein in their expectations a little bit when it comes to Xbox One games: less hype, less flops. Get it?

The Order.

DriveClub is a close second.

All those indie don't interest me and reviews are nothing more than opinions. The XOne has plenty of games for anyone to play and has just about all the major multiplats as well as it's own exclusives. Only an idiot would claim it has no games but then again I forget who's responding to me.

No opinion in SWs is more worthless than yours. Most cows are just trolls but you, you actually believe every bit of nonsense you crap out of your mouth.

Depends if it's as horribly broken as the MCC was.

Which ones?

Most ppl are picking the same ones here and there, game wise and theres only 3 current gen consoles.

I know we're only talking about the 3 current gen's consoles games, but surely the criteria can't be what a game scores on here, because Gamespot's reviews have been mostly inconsistent with what others sites are giving games.

Doesn't matter if it's broken really, it was definitely rushed. It better not be broken cause it's only single player which for Halo MCC, the single player was fine.

Childish name calling. Nonetheless I don't have an allegiance to any of the game companies. Just because you'd rather bury your head in the sand than admit MS mistepped this gen does not mean I have any allegiance.

Only a fanboy has to think everyone else is a fanboy.

And it's called having to change the main idea behind the product. You can spin it however you want but MS created a flop they had to bastardize and reduce in price to generate sales.

Their always online DRM Kinect mediabox thing flopped, so they changed it to a normal, proper console and started announcing/making/releasing great exclusives for it, and it's sold well since. The Xbone we have today isn't a flop, it just responded to gamers disdain for the original concept. MS are doing well currently, after their crap start.

It took Sony a LOT longer to turn the PS3 around.

They still had to change their product. Period.

And? Change is good, if it improves things. Are you saying it's a flop because it improved, but if they stuck their initial (crappy) vision it'd be good?

the order but we kept screaming its gonna be crap, the cows kept hyping it, then there is driveclub that flopped out of nowhere...i could add destiny but at least it sold.

Because they couldn't realize their plans/cost for the console.

So they changed it, and are succeeding. I fail to see the issue.

It'd be a flop if they stuck to their failed plans. Reacting smartly and recovering well isn't flopping!

According to you. I think when your product is rejected and you have to change then it's a failure.

Hmm, likely Destiny, not because of what it is, but the potential of what it could have been.

I see a lot of people stating MCC, or The Order, but I would argue, that MCC is simply mechanically broken, The Order we all saw what was long before it arrived, and only the most die hard cows hyped it for anything.

Destiny is different, It failed at its own conception, no fixes to its mechanics can save it, and unlike the order it is ment to be a 10 year Project. What was released was a mess on so many levels that it can't be described, and fixing it will likely take as long as building it from the ground up.

So I call Destiny the biggest Flop. The sheer magnitude dwarfs most other games (if not all of them) that has been listed (at least in my mind).

I just mean that a lot of ppl are picking Destiny, MCC, The Order, Driveclub and a couple of Titanfalls.

All those games were, at one time, suppose to be the next big thing and didn't really live up to the promise or like the MCC and Driveclub....were broken upon release and didn't deserve praise and "floppped".

lmao lemmings still in denial about the Disaster Chief Collection being the flop of the gen.

lol gamers have a problem of always getting hyped on trailers. i think once the first gameplay demo's came out, a lot of ppl realized whats up.

i actually thought the game was decent but yea, this was not a game that should be hyped. its like a poor mans version of ac 1

Another classic Cow goalpost move. Every damn cow on this site was hyping Bloodborne, The Order and UC4 as the games that would own 2015 for PS4 back in 2014.

Even after the shitty early gameplay vids were released cows were still making excuses as to how its just an alpha build and we havent seen all the gamplay.

Saying the hype for a brand new supposed AAA Sony exclusive to a remaster collection of 10 year old games is bogus as ****.

Yeah the MCC was hyped by Halo fans because everyone already had played the games they knew what they were about. But a brand new game always has way more hype than an old game.

I could see if you were talking about the hype level for Halo5 that might be an equal comparison. But what your saying is pure BS.

Has to be The Order 1886. The game had too many cutscenes, too many inconsistencies, too many useless objects to view. Just a disaster all around.

Maybe because it flopped for reasons that have since been fixed.

That's SWs cow. Don't like it then go away.

Oh you have an allegiance alright. You're just to stubborn to admit it.

So what if the original plans didn't go how they wanted. So what if they had to make changes. Does that mean it's not a good console or have worth while games? If people thought as stupid as you do then no one would have bought the PS3 and all those games cows love so much wouldn't have come out.

Well, going by YOUR posting history and YOUR penchant for putting the XOne down while simultaneously defending the PS4, I think everyone knows which way you swing.

Well when you flop an entire series in one fatal swoop, then make Kill Zone SF current gen 8 FPS console king, its really something else. I dont blame the denial one bit, but now we need to acknowledge the flop so the healing can begin.

Bloodborne didn't flop. It met expectations:

The order flopped, by two points. It was hyped 7/10, and got a 5/10:

Uncharted 4 hasn't had a predictions thread, and it hasn't been released, it didn't flop.

MCC flopped, by three points There was an official predictions thread, everyone lined up to predict a 9/10 score, and then it received a 6/10.

This isn't that hard to understand, is it?

Just for your reference, here's the link to the Halo: Master Chief Collection thread. There were some sad campers in there.

@Dire_Weasel: I wasnt saying Bloodborne flopped, I was saying that Sony fans were hyping all three of these games. All we heard about at the end of 2014 was how great 2015 would be when The Order, Bloodborne and UC4 dropped.

Half the cows in this thread are all trying to act like no one was hyping up The Order, making excuses about how after people saw gameplay they stopped hyping it. Thats not true at all. Cows were defending it rabidly, like when the vid leaked talking about how short it was.

Many long time users were hyping halo mcc 10..There is no other game this gen that was hyped as high that flopped as hard!

Master Chief Collection was pretty disasterous. I don't think anyone was expecting it to be the trainwreck it was at release.

I would also put in Arkham Knight in the mix. It really fizzled out shortly after release, not even managing a flavour of the month status. There's no way you can say the game was as successful as Asylum or City.

Look at the Order thread I linked ... in the end, the hype thread predicted 7/10. People on this forum realized that the game just wasn't going to be that good.

People stayed excited about Bloodborne, predicted 9/10, and hey ... that's exactly what happened.

People right up to the very end still thought Halo: Master Chief Collection was going get a 9/10 review, and it just didn't pan out.

Those are the actual prediction threads. Any other threads with individual posters going crazy about a particular game (some of which were rabid fanboys) are completely anecdotal at this point.
