  1. Tbh this list was iffy , in my opinion Walkin Dead S1 & S2 were amazing. Mirrors Edge was spot on Catalyst was such a let down. Outlast was well done for both 1&2 imo as well. Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Vegas 1&2 were so iconic to me tbh my xbox 360 got all the hours from both of those.

  2. I would have thought for certain Sonic would be on this list. Although I think it had at least two good games the first one and Sonic adventure both of them I think

  3. Everything you described making Watch Dogs 2 great is why it is bad and worse than the first game. When you describe a piece of fiction where civil liberties are being taken away, an evil corporation is monitoring you all the time, and none of your data is safe, do you think "zany and wacky?" No! You think of The Matrix, Bladerunner, and 1984. That's why Watch Dogs 1 is superior. Is Aiden Pierce generic? Yes, but this kind of subject matter should only be tackled in a dark and gritty setting. That's why the first one is the best in the series.

  4. Sr3 is one of the worst. The first two are the best and everything after that is a consistent decline and disappointment.

    I'm positive whoever decided on that one, has not played 1 or 2 and knows nothing about them.

  5. SR2 was so much better than The Third. It literally had a larger world with more places to explore, more customization, better story, better characters. SR3 has prettier graphics. Trash.

  6. Honorable Mentions:
    *Silent Hill 2 – Silent Hill Franchise
    -Konami seems hellbent on destroying itself. It's like the company is TRYING to become suicidal!
    As for Silent Hill, well, no other game could hold a candle to Silent Hill 2
    *Alone in the Dark – Alone in the Dark Franchise
    -Atari also seems to have forgotten how to make a good game, and they also seem to not know how to reboot a franchise. Alone in the Dark is a good example of this but it didn't stop there.
    *Devil May Cry 3 – Devil May Cry series… is what I WOULD SAY if DMC5 hadn't have come out. Capcom abandoned the reboot and went back to the main timeline. DMC is back, baby!
    *Star Fox 64 – Star Fox Series
    -There have been other Star Fox games since, but none could stand toe to toe with this one. Star Fox Zero would've been a return to form, but was bogged down by bad controls.

  7. Saints row 2 is an outstanding game, Sly 3 and 4 both stand shoulder to should with 2, same with Jak 1 and 3, Seige has was made to be an esport so its not fully comparable to Vegas 1&2 (which were fantastic for the time) and its kinda bullshit to call something a franchise when it has 2 games

  8. Okay fine everyone has an opinion and lists like this are subjective depending on who you are but The majority of the franchises mentioned in this list have more than one outstanding game I feel like this list was honestly made just to trigger gamers lol
