Can't find any decent gameplay clips without youtubers talkin all up in the video 
Ff7 rebirth and ff16 flopped?a trio of Square Enix games: FF7 Rebirth, FF16 & Forspoken. I enjoyed all three immensely and wish they sold better. Square Enix was done dirty this generation by gamersRebirth is genuinely one of the best games released this generation and i'm not sure why it didn't take off. Forspoken I think was harmed by the anti-woke brigade online for daring to have a black female lead character
the combat and movement was amazing & unique tho. it's such a shame that game underperformed because a sequel building upon what they started in Forspoken 1 would be some mindblowing shyt if given the chance
I also really liked Anthem and the Avengers game. They were flawed (mostly due to lack of content) but combat was awesome in both of those games. I wish they didn't flop so we could've got more content for both and watch them flourish. it's a shame because both had real potential. The interceptor gameplay in Anthem is genuinely one of the GOAT third-person shooter experiences i've played in a game
(Didn’t meet company expectations doesn’t = flopped)As far as flops go…I was optimistic about Anthem.
Rebirth and XVI didn't flop, Square not meeting their expectations =/= "flop".
Square also said Hitman, Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider games didn't meet their expectations but nobody would say they "flopped." FF Rebirth is still 9th best selling game of the year as of recent .
Actual "FLOPS" are things like Concord or games that sold terribly. Shenmue for example was a poor performer.

It breaks my heart that this game never really caught on and knowing that there's no sequel makes it worse.
Mario Kart killed F Zero. I don't care what lie Nintendo has tried to tell over the years about it.

If you look up the definition of the word "flop", not meeting expectations is mentioned.
It's considered a flop by their standards even if others would say otherwise.
Sleeping Dogs will always be a big one. The game was just too perfect to just die a decade ago. Pork Bun!
I don't know if they flopped but Splinter Cell, Max Payne, inFAMOUS and Prototype come to mind as well. I just hate how franchises just seem to have died during or right after the 360 era.
And then you got people who keep pushing the graffix first agenda, making video games to expensive to make these days. So we get less games overall.

a lot of people bashed it for the lack of difficulty but I enjoyed it. shyt ended with a cliffhanger and I really think a refined sequel would've be a classic. but it flopped and then the movie flopped and then they changed the shyt to assassin's creed and the whole franchise died
Halo Wars 1 & 2
To get the big ones out of the way, F-Zero GX didn't deserve to go out as sad as it did. I wish it at least had been remastered.
Arc Rise Fantasia had one of the best weapon customization systems I've ever seen in an RPG, but its dub was enough to kill the game by itself.
