l mean..ffxiv did flop. so hard the dev team went 'no. were not fucking delivering this hot garbage as an entry to ff series!" and went full ham. giving us the glorious FF:xiv realm reborn.

GameBoyColor1894d ago

Yeah ffxiv is literally had to go and phoenix itself to be how good it is now.

Spenok1893d ago

Actually, SE said no, and fired the creative director, and much of the original team. It was Yoshi P and his hand picked team that not only made the game free to play for the first almost year, but redesigned the entire game (including graphics engine), and turned it into the amazing masterpiece it is now.

Goddamn Twinfinite you guys always come up with interesting list but then you make em multi page.

PhantomS421894d ago

Fortnite did flop. It wasn't until they straight up ripped off another mode from a different game that anyone cared.

porkChop1894d ago

Yeah, Save the World flopped hard. No one plays it. It was supposed to be free too.

You're out of touch if you thought Nier: Automata was going to be a flop and didn't see it performing well critically and commercially.

DVAcme1894d ago

Indeed. As far as developers go, Platinum has one of the most impressive records of them all.

Spenok1893d ago

I think they're just trying to point out that the first flopped hard, and that due to that, this game had almost nothing going for it except that Platinum was working on it. Which alone is a HUGE deal.

chris2351894d ago

me personally, i am surprised everytime the next contentless lootershooter gets bought like mad.

Spenok1893d ago

Uh... people clearly like looter shooter games. Or just loot whore style games in general.

Rotten Tomatoes has this weird thing now where if critics dislike something with.m a big fanbase behind it the audience is like “oh f*** this, f***** critics so far up their on arse” and will give the film a better marks than they original would have

I’m not defending critics, there’s some films where I’ve been like “what on earth” but audience scores now feel like a middle finger to critics.

This was not a good film in general, strip that franchise name from it and it’s objectively bad

roadkillers204d ago

Meh, the actors made it better for me. If it wasn't FnaF, I wouldnt have known about it. Strip the actors and then its a bad movie for me.

gold_drake204d ago

im of the same opinion xD

ravens52205d ago

It was ok. I've never played a 5 night's at Freddys game

The movie was absolutely garbage !!!
BH needs to do better - since Halloween Ends - Exorcist , Freddy is Shyte - STOP IT !!!!

Garethvk210d ago

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.
