LAIRRRRRRRR LAIRRRRR

Megaman guy actually has a link to his claim. Where is the link to yours? Otherwise, I'm calling bullshit. Just because a game is bad doesn't mean that it is the biggest flop of all times. Also, they fixed the controls via patch this year. So it's nowhere near as bad as it was.

I'm starting to doubt the proclamation someone made in another thread is completely false due to the fact that instead of instantly going for saying Haze, you went for Lair (which was so last years joke game of the year for the ps3).

I mean, burying 2-3 million copies of the game in the desert because it's too expensive to have them in stock seems pretty unbeatable to me. Not to mention that it signaled the big crash...

A flop is normally based on sales. Unfortunately, people spent money to buy and destroy those games as well as the Shaq-Fu games. It is however considered the worst game in existance.


OT- Too Human definitely could be called the biggest flop of all time according to the list. All of the other games (besides Shenmue) have sold millions of copies or aren't out yet. I could see A.P.B. being a flop though because I've never heard of it before...but it might still sell more then Too Human

 

Whateer you wish :-] http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6981&region=All 0.34 Others data is missing though, but Too Human will easily pass it

That doesn't prove anything and if you look at Too Humans drop from 135,000 to 33,000 that people bought the game the first day and then the game dropped significantly.

how you mean that it doesn't proof anything, it proves it is selling better then Lair while Lair costed more to make So better sales, less costs means smaller flop

3. Too Human, $80-$100,000,000: While the budget of this tale of genetically enhanced humans trying to thwart a machine menace is only rumored, developers Silicon Knights have had to scrap plans to use Epic Games’ Unreal 3 Engine and have had to build their own game engine from the ground up, further adding to the cost of creating the game.

I am only asking if too human is the biggest flop in gaming, because it was so expensive to make!!

No, you're asking because of the little logo on the bottom right corner of that box.

 

As I stated I was asking because it was so expensive too make, can't you read. Next time read the post at least 5 times before posting your comment!!

What proof do you have that Lair cost more to make?  Not to mention it is quite possible that Lair sold better in Europe than in the Americas.

What are you basing this off of? Your own feelings. That's what I was talking about before you randomly started spouting off the total copies that have been sold mumbo jumbo.

Back to the sales, Ps3 tends to do well in Europe therefore the sales are actually crucial for being able to determine whether it will sell more then Too Human.

 


nice BULLCRAP it just that i'm too lazy :-]

Too Human did not cost as much to make as this thread seems to make it out to be. Plus, most of the reviews that I read on Metacritic are way off and obviously written by people that know nothing about games. Too Human is a 75-80 game, not a 65 like it currently is listed at. IT is not the best game ever, but not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be.

ive tried the demo and i hav 2 say 2human is one of the worst games ive played this gen. take ur goggles off l and replay it again. the 20 second unskippable death scene is the worst idea for a developer to put in. theres many other crud that beats this. i wouldnt say its the biggest flop though, it will sell reasonably well as 360 has only had gaiden2 and 2human all yer up2 now, so wen u have a platform with only 2 promising looking titles all year up2 now they wil sell, i predict 2human to get to 600k lifetime mabey 800k-900k
