I don't keep up with gaming news enough to be able to approach this in any rational way. However, two massive disappointments for me were/are Blizzard's World of Warcraft and Irrational Games' Freedom Force. FF was simply just boring and too unfocused, and failed to deliver any proper introduction to the game mechanics. WoW was a disappointment because I was loving Warcraft 3 and it's expansion et al, but found WoW to be the most mindnumbingly boring gaming experience of my life. I honestly had more fun playing MapleStory. To me, WoW ruined a great franchise, but I can hardly call it a flop, seeing as it's the biggest game today.
in your opinion, which game was been the biggest flop of all time

Wait, how was KOTOR2 a flop? It was better then KOTOR at everything... Aside from having a ton of unfinished content because the game was rushed. But that hardly removed all the improvements over the "original". Better story, better characters, better feat selections, and pretty kickass environments.HT_Black said:
On topic, Duke Nukem Forever.

*Sigh*... Yup, pretty much.
I'd say the game I was most excited to play MP on, but was so disappointed with was MW2. I just... can't play it anymore. Hell, I barely ever could play it, let alone enjoy it.
hmmm im not EXACTLY sure what you mean by flop..
it seems like alot of different uses have been used..
but my biggest flop was either too human or section 8

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, I expected great things from this game, and although i did enjoy it to an extent, It never really fufilled the high expectations i had for it.
It's so weird, my hand refuses to click the Install button. The biggest problem is the damn internet requirement. I have it on a PC that since recent has no internet and the other PC has its EA Download Manager fcked up. That's what they get, when stuff is just surrounded by gazillion of shitware.Edward Heffner said:

Got it for free.
Kotor II
The game had so much going for it, but then Lucas arts decided that it should be released around christmas, so the game ended up a buggy, unplayable mess with probably the shortest and worst ending ever.

Tempting to go with ET or daikatana as great flops, but the old games also cost relatively little money to develop, compared to games nowadays.
Duke nukem forever was never released and just flushing money down a toilet doesn't count as an actual flop.
Spore was heavily pirated, but there were also alot of people who bought into the hype before they learned of their mistake.
I'll go with C&C4 as greatest flop.
C&C4 must have cost alot to make with all the actors and props and a modern development team. Pretty much everybody hated it. I don't think it sold.

It sounds like people are getting confused between flop and I didn't like it.
Psychonauts comes to mind first, that sold terribly and really it's an example of why game developers don't try new things. That game was great in so many ways, but sold nothing. In a business you sell what actually sells.
