Pretty weird entries, gotta admit
Jak and Daxter seriously ? The entire trilogy was awesome and he is the best trilogy of Naughty Dog.
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.
Badly researched content from a sucky content farm.
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
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.
Mirror age catalyst is more of a prequel then a sequel
Outlast 2 is great don't get the hate
Jak 1 and Jak 2 are both great
Driver San Francisco, Far Cry 3 and NFS Most Wanted 2005 must be in this list.
watch dogs 2 is probably the worst of all the watch dogs, definitely the most forgettable
Leave the game videos to gamers…
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.
Outlast trials for VR ??
I Couldn’t find the vr part of it anywhere…
I think its just a misinformation.
The walking dead?? All the games were amazing. A new frontier was ok and not as good as the others but its still a very good franchise.
You should also make a list of the Top 10 Video Game Franchises with No Good Games
Say that SR3 is the better game when fans wanted SR2 Remastered more than 3 smh
I really liked TWD S1 but I also liked S2
When the jax and daxter trilogy is not as loved as a lot on this list
Why is he really emphasising any word ThaT has a T in iT?
"OuTlasT" "NaughTy Dog"
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.
Outlast 2 was pretty good tbh. Not incredible but it was certainly a good game and a good predecessor to the first game.
Saibts row 2>saints row 3. Sr3 is a good game, but Sr2 was the perfect balance of weird and good.
Saints Row is the shittttt idc idc idc
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.
Didn’t play Saints Row 1, saints row 2 was amazing, third was even better and 4th was good better than I thought tbh
Saints row definitely went down hill after the second game
Strongly disagree with Saints Row being here ngl. And I’d say TWD season 4 gives 1 a very good run for its money, even if one just slightly edges it out
literally everyone preferred SR2 lol
Surprised no one has put Skyrim in the elder scrolls series as a contender yeah oblivion was good but then there's Skyrim
I like Agents of Mayhem, but whatever
Gat out of hell was pretty fun too tho
Maybe dishonoures 2 dis nor live up to the hype imo
whatch dogs 2 is total shit
whatch dogs 2 is total shit
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
The issue with this list is most of these entries only have a few games in the series
This actually one of the most fucking stupid lists I've ever seen. I can't believe how completely bad this list is
1 of y'all worst lists ever.
Why Saints Row 3? Saints Row 2 is the best game in the series.
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
