The xbox 360 has had alot of flops this year, ninja gaiden 2, too human, lost oddysey ect.
which you think is the next game to flop on the xbox 360?
for me as average as the 1st fable game was and a sequel looks like its going to be more of the same, gears 2 looks like its going to flop big time this time around, the PC version didnt scored AAA and the game was only good bacause of graphics, now next to Uncharted and MGS4 this game the gears graphics look boring and outdated, now with gears 2 looking more of the same its the perfect candidate for FOTY(Flop of the year)

I don't think any of those games flopped. Fable 2 will definately be a big success.

MGS4 sold not even close to expectations, even in Japan. And uncharted? Even worse.
What does that say? F L O P

Maybe you should qualify what you consider a flop? Sales? Reviews?
Let's look at the games you listed.
Ninja Gaiden 2: Metacritic score 81%- Units Sold over 1 Million (according to Gamespot)
Too Human: Metacritic score 65% - Units Sold...about 200,000 copies, but this was only for a short time frame (we will need to wait for September numbers to get a better idea if it was successful, but pre-orders were close to 800,000 copies)
Lost Odyssey: Metacritic score 78% - Units Sold over 600,000 expected sales to reach 1 Million by years end (VGChartz, Gamespot)
Maybe you could say that Too Human was not a critical sucess, but the sales do indicate it was a financial sucess. Personally I finished Too Human twice and just started my third run-through. This is by far my favourite game this year (but Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Gear 2 is on the way).

I'm not even gunna bother replying seriously to your childish claims, which are only put here to get a reaction. I just wonder why you start a thread but never, ever respond when you get called out to back up your shitty claims. You must be 12 or something.

I sense that's a bad move. I hope it's a bad move because I'm hyped for it.

Did post did smell of "bait", but I was doing research for another article anyway, so no waste of time on my side.
I agree with you Rossko, I think Hell's Highway looks great and I do look forward to it.

You flop at life. Go do something productive, like throwing yourself off something... Something high... With spikes at the bottom... Poisoned spikes... Yeah.

you know, I'd hate to contribute to a thread started by this douche, but I have to say, I was really dissapointed with Fable 2.
In fact, Fable 2 might be my biggest "Why the hell did I buy this garbage" moment that I've had with the 360. Without a doubt, I owned Fable 2 for the least amount of time possible, trading it in at the first chance I had.
It was not my cup of tea, to say the least.
Fable 2, IMO, was a monsterous failure of a game, and like the first, I fell like I was mislead. It was not open world. It was not replayable. It was tedious, repetitive and generally, not interesting enough. Lionhead studios, you've left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I did.
I don't know why I was expecting anything form the second, because the first also left a bad taste in my mouth.
A true sequal then? The first one overpromised and underdelivered. The second, more of the same....
