It depends what you mean by 'flop'.
Elite Dangerous sold well but it's a fucking immense disappointment on every level compared to what was promised.

Shovel knight

This, what a ride that was

Undertale. Love it or hate it, huge commercial success.
>>
>>336352401
I'm curious, how is it different from the others. I never gave it a second look because of it's genre and the number of times I've been let down before by it.
>>
>>336352501
Yeah, it might not be the EvE-with-decent-flight-model that some people were hoping for but you cannot call it a flop.

I mean, look at Croberts' flaccid attempt at a game. THAT'S a flop.
>>
>>336352501
He's just spinning anon.
Its a good trick.

Is Battletech on the list?

>>336356756
Maybe. There's plenty of games that flew under /v/'s narrow radar and cruised straight through kickstarter > Greenlight > Steam without ever making a large buzz on this board.

That's why threads like this are normally a bad idea. If a game doesn't have controversy surrounding it, /v/ doesn't give it a whole lot of attention.

If you try to make threads about said games *without* an emphasis on twitter posts or unconventional design choices, the vocal minority will just claim your trying to market it.

?

No it's not, it looks better and better.
>>
>>336358195
I'm impressed by the update rate and its quality control. This is a prime example of how things get done when developers are dedicated to enhance their game thanks to crowdfunding.
>>
Alright then, reading through this thread, what high profile KS did flop at all?
And I don´t mean that soon after being started it became apparent that it´s shit and nobody gave a dman about it on release, but legitimately flopping.
>>
>>336358458
quality does not matter for sales, look at current AAA games.
F4 sold excellently, it is bright hot garbage.
>>
>>336360530
Castle Story was probably the most notorious one.
>>
>>336360530
Planetary Annihilation
Might no 9 could be the next one
>>
Superhot did sort of flop, not like it was shit but at least to me it felt pretty short considering how long it was worked on.

And I will proably get hate for this but undertale didnt flop

It's the same as all the others. Some people just prefer a certain brand of poison over others.

There is nothing wrong with it, other than it being very short. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. That gets annoying too.

Jesus fuck. Shit like this were free on miniclip back then

every succesfully funded kickstarter was a non-flop for the developer, they got paid after all

3 minutes of content stretched out over as long as you want

Also, the attempt to be a viral hit with "SuperHot is the most innovative shooter ive played in years"
