25 'Next-Big-Things' That Completely Flopped

1.

Power Glove. It was garabage and I'll never forget it. -u/Ekh0es

2.

Google Plus. They made us wait for a very long time with the invite-only feature. People forgot about it when it was released. -u/introvertboyme

3.

The 'Dark Tower' movie with Idris Elba. -u/urchisilver

4.

Sim City 5. Good god what a horrid mess. First week or more of the release you were lucky to play because you could only play it online on their servers that were constantly full. Then once you hit like 50k people in your city the game was uncontrollable. You would literally run out of water and no matter what you did, traffic took the shortest path so constant traffic and thus emergency vehicles couldn't move so everything went downhill so fast. -u/InsertBluescreenHere

5.

Google Glass: 'futuristic smart glasses.' -u/SuvenPan

6.

M. Night Shyamalan's 'Avatar' movie. He broke my heart. -u/Suspicious-Elk-3631

7.

The Zune. Larger capacity, color screen, could play movies, and cost less than an iPod. Personally, I think it was an awesome device, but ultimately it failed. :( -u/TSwizzlesNipples

8.

Yandere simulator years ago. -u/grossjuice

9.

When Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone's vault. -u/miurabucho

10.

Being an adult. -u/marr318

11.

'Anthem.' I didn't even find the flying that great. It was kinda fun, but the gunplay was so insanely boring and the world-building was so poorly executed. And holy Christ was the writing trash. I played it with a friend and had low expectations, but it failed to meet even those. -u/NobilisUltima

12.

Second go around of 'Arrested Development.' Deep inside I knew they’d never be able to capture that magic. Still, told myself they could. Narrator: They couldn’t. -u/AreaGuy

13.

Every New Year’s Eve party ever. -u/PollyWentlightly

14.

The PS Vita. I wouldn’t say it was a total flop but it deserved so much more support and a better life than it had. -u/GhostRN

15.

3D TV. -deleted user

16.

'Pacific Rim 2.' What the heck was that? -u/Accurate_Western_346

17.

I remember being hyped for the 'Suicide Squad' movie back then and left the cinema severely disappointed. -u/mj-gaia

18.

Having a career. Our whole life built up to this….and it's just mediocre, and NOBODY knows what they are really doing. -u/SnooPandas1674

19.

The Segway. Mind you, it was billed as something that would change mankind. -u/Setthescene

20.

Last season of GOT. -deleted user

21.

'Fallout 76. Was happy to finally have a Fallout with multiplayer, but was too buggy to have any fun at launch. -u/KrogtDK

22.

Mobile gaming. -u/xx_DEADND_xx

23.

'The Hobbit' movies. I'm a huge LOTR fan and they are just meh. The magic was gone. They should have made one film closely following the book. -u/feta_morgana

24.

The 'Fantastic Beasts' films. -u/kukukele

25.

'Mass Effect Andromeda.' That was when I learned my lesson not to pre-order. -u/scruffy_beerd
