Top 10 Worn Out Video Game Franchises

The Top Ten
Call of Duty

Even though all of these games on this list are overrated, they are good. Whether it's one thing or another, they all still deserve to be where they are now. It's just that they are getting more controversy.

Just the same show every year. Next to no innovation and if somebody tries to say there is innovation, their only point would be either better graphics or different guns/maps. 0/10 would not play

Call of Duty and FIFA are pretty much the same game year after year now, whereas there's other series who really innovate and bring a lot more yet still have less sales.

Pokemon

I think Pokemon is now aiming for a younger audience.
My first game was Pokemon Sun, which I found it easy to catch different Pokemon, complete the story-line and find shiny Pokemon, even without wonder-trading. I then got the virtual console version of Pokemon Crystal and I have found it really difficult. You actually need to catch the correct Pokemon to progress through the story-line, shiny Pokemon are difficult to catch and you don't get many healing items to help you in battles. The new game, Pokemon Let's Go!, looks like it's way to easy and it seems like they're trying to start it from scratch. Don't even get me started about the Pokemon Sun and Moon T.V. Series.

Resident Evil

Not really worn out out because resident evil 7 got it back up for a good game so this and pokemon do not belong on this list however Sonic and Call of Duty and Sports games do belong here.

Final Fantasy

The first 5 games were amazing but there is way too much now.

Final Fantasy 1-6 and 9 and the only good one, and if you MMOs 14 can also be good. other than that the rest is garbage.

Halo

Halo 4 was such a disappointment. Bungie needs to come back if Halo is going to be good again.

Why is halo even on here? At least it changes every once and a while unlike these other games

Bungie was awesome it was 343 that ruined the series

Madden

It needs competition, even though I prefer American football (the actual gameplay is awesome) FIFA has better features that would be great with Madden, mainly due to PES.

Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked as Sonic the Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series released by SEGA. He has since appeared in numerous spin-off comics, seven television shows, an animated OVA, and a live-action movie trilogy.

I clicked on this list and knew the moment I laid eyes on it Call of Duty would be at the top. I'm sure it isn't even close, people these days. Call of Duty is doing better than any of the other top 5 items, and not just in sales, but in quality too, so didn't hit me up with that.
MW3: best gameplay in the series
BOII: best Zombies in the series
Ghosts: Favorite overall style in the series
AW: Yeah, pretty bad
BOIII: worst campaign in the series, but decent multiplayer, still not so good
IW: Favorite campaign since MW3, best ambiance in the series, best music since MW2
WW2: pretty trash
BOI: The most unique in the series, second best gameplay, pretty glitchy
I'm still very excited for the next Call of Duty

Mega Man

The franchise is getting revived I think.

FIFA

The real core issue of the game isn't that the games itself are bad, but the fact that they keep realising a new game every year with little to no updates and new features. It would be fine to maybe, I don't know, create downloadable UPDATES every year to compensate for new players, teams, etc. and the right time to make a new game should be for every generation of console. I think that this would be a more effective way of keep us, as fans, happy with the game and be more interested in the 60 bucks we bought. But, with EA being EA, this seems really unlikely. Oh well.

Assassin's Creed

Doesn't need to exist beyond the 3rd game. Story was already finished. But Ubi decided to zombify the franchise to milk it

Black flag was the last good game in this franchise

The Newcomers

? Lego Series

They even made a Lego Rock Band (a Legi video game version of something that was already a video game) for chrissake!

? Fatal Fury

I don't care that Mark of the Wolves is supposed to be the greatest SNK game ever; they replaced all the characters and gave the one returning character an AWFUL redesign. They should've just created a brand new stand alone game.

The Contenders
Killzone
Mario Party

Mario party was once a creative, and fun game with tons of cool mini games and overall a fun time with your freinds. And while I don't hate Mario party, its definitely run out of steam. It's wasn't terrible during the early 2000s, I feel that since the introduction of the "party car" it's become very repetitive and boring. All I can think of here is that either Nintendo gives a good, fresh new idea for Mario party, that's fun and enjoyable for everyone, or should start over, and scrap the series entirely for something diffrent.

Super Mario Bros.

I like Super Mario Bros, but it needs to end at one point, maybe after I'm dead. The fanbase is rabid. They always have a big mouth to insult and mock Call of Duty or Sega, but you cannot mess with their precious Nintendo or you will be called troll, hater, or Call of Duty Fanboy. This annoys me, and I don't even like Call of Duty. (But I like Sonic)

It's just the same crap every new game!

Peach was kidnapped, Mario goes to save her, she gets saved, and repeats. What goal does Bowser hope to achieve by kidnapping her?

This franchise is overrated. Back in 1985, it was good, now they just do the same things over and over again.

Five Nights at Freddy's

I bought every game to do with fnaf and the settings and a few variations of the characters were the only change though it stays as one of my all time favorite games

I think it's honestly pretty worn out, but it still makes some good fan games and is still overall a really good franchise

Even though I love this game, stop filling my subscription fees.

Grand Theft Auto

The only reason this series sells well is because of the numerous controversies it has garnered.

Grand theft auto is a CRIME, for crying out loud!

Battlefield
Just Dance

Be honest with me. Do you really see any kids still flocking out to buy the newest yet rehashed and somehow worse than the previous Just Dance game every year that it somehow HAS to always win the Favorite Video Game category at the Kids' Choice Awards? COME ON! What kid is going to want to choose another lame Just Dance game over a new Mario game?

Ubisoft has been making the same dancing game since 2009. I used to like it. Now, I want the dead dancing to end. Rhythm gaming has faded away, and I believe that the only way for it to be cool again is a reboot of Guitar Hero, Rock Band & PaRappa the Rapper coming back. I want this milked franchise to end.

Fortnite

Not a franchise, but guaranteed to become one.

This is the gray revolver of video games

Undertale

I'll admit, I'll would have loved this game if it wan't rubbed into my face from the internet. it's characters are charming and the story is unique, but I've had a littler bit too much of it.

The brightest stars always burn out the fastest, as can be seen through this game's fanbase.

I still love it and you cannot stop me

Super Smash Bros.

Smash bros will never die
Even if there is 500 million characters and no variety I will still buy it
It will still be better than brawl

Sheesh. Ultimate is putting in all characters from previous games from the series. It basically a sign that the series is getting stale.

Guitar Hero
Rock Band
Capcom vs

Capcom vs X-men, Capcom vs Marvel Comics, Capcom vs SNK (their now dead rival), Capcom vs some anime company... what next, Capcom vs Your Mom?

Even Super Smash Bros is now effectively part of this franchise

Parappa the Rapper

If the developers had thought just ONCE about putting Lammy Mode and a proper multiplayer mode into Parappa 2, this might not have been the case

Minecraft

I'm pretty darn sure this is a single game, not a whole franchise...

Seriously, Minecraft Is Now Ruined Thanks To It's Fanbase

The fanbase sucks now, not the game.
