I am clearly not the only person on vgchartz who uses the word to define a critical context. But even so......you keep falling into the trap that you are deflecting from you at your core, trying to save face for a video game.

Never said it was a failure. Pay attention. I like 70's games. It is however, below what most expectations were....in the 80's.  Doesn't detract from its quality. I've countered you on every possible level, just learn from this and predict better/take the disapointments better. Correcting my usage of words only hurts your case.

Stubbornly misusing it hurts yours. Since that's not what the word means, even by the definition you're using.

Ok.....so tell me what word should the entire gaming internet use when a meta prediction falls short?

Because right now you could say I and others, use the word flop "for lack of a better word". You are welcome to tell me an alternative; one syllable since it is fast to type and gets the point across quick. Because clearly this is the real issue at play in this thread: how to properly label when a meta prediction goes sour -_-

Until another suitable word is used, I shall henceforth please my rival peers with "flop (for lack of a better word)" whenever we must quickly express a moment where a game fails to meet its critical hype.

EDIT: Flop FLOABW for short :P

happy? Also the link you sent me....theres more then one definition. #12 was the one I used.
