In 25+ years of gaming, I've never known the term "flop" used to describe a game's quality.

You know the internet hasn't been around for 25+ years, nevermind when gaming forums  and metacritic became mainstream.

Edit: Also your comment doesn't help your case at all because it just told me that you believe that the english dictionary, spoken word, and slang are static, and are not subject to change with the times.

This offcourse, is entirely wrong. But let's be honest, you could care less how someone uses a word.......your trying to save face for a video game.

He didn't say the internet was around for 25+ years, he said that he's been gaming for 25+ years.  so have I.  

I wouldn't really be criticising someone else's choice in syntax when you don't appear to know the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.  

And here is where I know that I made my point when the conversation has devolved to grammer.......when I was clearly referring to context. This is a thread about a game scoring lower then the hype, and its brave defenders have only grammer and context as their weapons of choice, instead of taking it like men and learning from it. Just stop.

I know what he said, and I countered that it was invalid because the internet wasn't around that long, nor metacritic, rendering the point moot.
