Franchise that only have only one Good game or one game you liked?

So what are the franchise in your opinion that has only one good game or you found a good one? or only one you have enjoyed. theere are many great franchise that atleast have one black sheep but theres few franchise that has only one good game and all others are crap. so lets talk about later ones

imo i go with

Crysis: Crysis 1 was groundbreaking game. Incredible game. take FPS genre forward. then sequels happen, consolized and ruined us all. to this day crytek still suffering

Medal of Honor: More than 13 Games in series?? and only one game that is actually good Allied assault. series ended by moh warfighter which even EA admit a failure.

FEAR: Just like Crysis 1, FEAR was also amazing ground breaking game and have best combat and AI in FPS ever. and just like crysis. its sequels consolized and monolith doesnot make worthy since then.

Assassins Creed: A yearly iteration that have bunch of mediocre, terrible, boring games where only one part shine and thats assassins creed 4 black flag. i was surprised how good that game was compare to crap others were and follow.

Call of duty: The original COD game is only Good game in series then its going downhill yet become more popular. never liked any other game in series.

Wolfenstein: While i respect wolf 3d for bieng first FPS however Doom was first true recognizable FPS game. and i was not familiar with wolf 3d. then I really liked Return to castle wolfenstein. one of the best FPS of all time. 2009 game was mediocre and new order imo absolutely suck. it make me ashamed of bieng FPS fan.

so what franchise do you think has only one game that you liked?

Uncharted. We all know which one.

Metal Gear Solid, I only ever liked MGS1.

I agree with all of those in the OP too except for Assassins Creed, I enjoyed them all up to Black Flag which I also agree is the best one in the series.

I'll go with Resident Evil for my pick. I tried playing the first one and I hated the controls...I think I was spoiled after playing 4 first which I think is an amazing game. I haven't played any of the other games in the series to have a fair opinion on those though since I'm afraid that most of them control like the original one.

How dare you!

I'll go with the Fallout games (New Vegas) once Bethesda got there grubby hands on it. And Bethesda wasn't even the dev (just publisher) on it.

Star Fox 64 is an amazing game, but all of the other Star Fox games have been disappointing.

Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I could never really get into any of the other Resident Evil games. The ones before Resident Evil 4 had terrible controls and the ones after Resident Evil 4 became too much of an action game instead of a horror game.

Dragon Age

Assassin's Creed. Only liked Black Flag.

Dragon Age: Origins is sadly the only good game in its series.

MGS1....after 2 I just lost interest. I should say though that I greatly enjoyed MGS1, it's one of my favorite games.

While I'm not saying any of the Legacy of Kain games are terrible, Soul Reaver is the only one that was truly great.

• Still the best seamless, interconnected, 3D-metroidvainia style world (Metriod Prime kinda cheats with elevators)
• Still some of the best voice acting and most eloquent narration in games
• Still some of the most well designed dungeon puzzles of all time (yeah, I actually miss box-pushing)

Mass effect

only liked the first one

@ghosts4ever:

I agree with Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

I'd also have to say Dues Ex (the orginal).

My pick: Resistance series. Only game I liked: Resistance 3.

CoD - Call of Duty 4 (well, for now anyway, been wanting to go back and try classic CoD's).

Doom, the first one is a classic, but the rest suck, especially the new one.

hahaha, the only good answer for this thread

lol

Uhh...this one...?

COMPELLING NARRATIVE!

Duke Nukem - Only one good game and that's Duke Nukem 3D

So far for me it's F.E.A.R., Resident Evil 4, Twisted Metal Black, Red Faction 1, Halo: Combat Evolved, and Star Fox 64 (Though I think that the original Star Fox on the SNES had the best soundtrack in the entire series, the game aged badly while SF 64 still holds up well).

F.E.A.R. sounds about right.

Doom II and Doom 64 sucked?

Doom 64 did suck. its goldeneye in doom skin basically. but the fact is none of Main Doom Game suck. all 4 of them are fantastic in their own way. even Doom 3 was amzing game.

Dark Souls 3- it is the only decent one.

Uncharted 2

That's all I can really think of

Uh, no.

Doom 64 plays like a mix between Doom and Quake, it's probably and more of a sequel than Doom II and (if you like) Doom 3.

Goldeneye was on a rails shooter that became a FPS.

Half Life: Half Life 1 was good. Half Life 2 was garbage.
Guild Wars (Maybe): Guild Wars 1 was a good game. But Guild Wars 2 was a bad game with very little going for it.

Everquest, (was) my favorite game of all time. Everquest 2 sucked and now Everquest 1 is all different because of f2p model and it absolutely blows.

Although I kinda enjoyed my time with The Witcher 2 I think The Witcher 3 was the only trully great game in the series. The Witcher 1 is just... aweful

Others:

The Darkness 2 (didnt like the 1st game. It aged horribly. The seconds gunplay is actually pretty fast and fun and the story was also pretty great)

Far Cry 3 (the only entry in the series I enjoyed. The rest isnt bad just... predictable)

inFAMOUS Second Son (1 and 2 were meh but this one got the gameplay right at least)

Devil May Cry. The original

Ninja Gaiden on Xbox didn't like the other two installments.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. (second one was ok, third felt like a step back).

Assassin's Creed 2.(better than the first one and still my favorite. Black *** is getting a lot of praise mainly because it is more a pirate game).

Fable blows away fable 2 and 3 couldnt finish either sequel beat the first one a bunch

I honestly can't think of any game series that got only one good game.

Maybe FEAR is the right answer, but I didn't play the sequels yet.

GTA

The only one so far with first-person camera view.....

Ninja Gaiden Black, Crysis/Warhead, and Starfox 64 are the only ones that immediately come to mind.

Resident Evil 1/Remake

Devil May Cry 3

Street Fighter II Turbo

Mario Kart 64

Mega Man II

Good list. My list:

• Crysis: Only liked first one and its expansion 'Warhead'. Sequels were dumbed down and too linear.
• Dragon Age: First one 'Origins" is among my most favorite RPGs. Second one was so glorified. It was heart breaking. Inquisition was offline MMO.
• FEAR: First one had great gunplay, AI and sound effects. Horror aspects were pretty good too. Sequel lacked in those areas and third one was trash.

halo. i only like the first one and the first 2 levels on the second one and thats about it.

crysis indeed. such a shame.

Agreed.

@Cobra_nVidia: he he. Nailed it. Chloe's perfect minus the racoon face. Wonder how much manpower went into sculpting that.

How is Mega Man 2 the only good Mega Man game? 3 is just as good and some can argue that it's better since it added the slide mechanic, Proto Man, and Rush. It also has a kick ass soundtrack with Snake Man and Spark Man's themes being some of my personal favorites.

Also, Mega Man 9 did a great job of capturing Mega Man 2's essence and also has great level design and music.

Star Fox 64, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Ape Escape, Shinobi 3, Ico (if it counts), and Yoshi's Island.

• Dragon Age (Origins)
• Mass Effect (1, couldnt get into the other two..)
• Call of Duty (Loved Black Ops, others were throwaway)
• Uncharted (Loved the first, hated the rest)
• Xenoblade (First is my favorite game of all time, the second shouldn't exist)

@bowserjr123: I hated 9 because it was too much like MM2, they even copied some MM2 tracks and on top of that they had the the problem of tracks for the music and sound just like MM2.

My fav Mega Man is 4 but MM2 is the most loved Mega Man.

I will agree that 9 is a bit too similar to 2, but it did have its own unique tracks like We're the Robots and the final Wily Theme which sound great.

I really like Mega Man 4 a lot too, the charge shot was a good feature even if it made the game a bit easier. Overall, I'd say that 2 and 3 are tied for my favorite.

Populous. I never got into Populous 1 or 2 but I absolutely loved playing The Beginning.

@bowserjr123: I remember as a kid one of my friend had MM2 and I got MM3. It was epic.

They also had some brutal stuff in those... like in MM2 the boss that you can only kill with Crash missile and if you ran out of them you are pretty much screwed ... in MM3 they added a second layer of bosses ... in 4 you had 2 forteresses.

Gears of War. With the first one being the best and really the only one I liked. 2 wasn't bad and had its moments. But the gameplay mechanics change destroyed my cousin's Gears crew I game with.

3 was a waste of time. Judgment was slammed so why bother. And the 4th game has taken a similar direction to the recent games. So my interest in the series is largely dead.

This. 64's level design is so far above any of the others it's not even in the same atmosphere. I don't know why it was damned to obscurity, it's clearly on par with the original, as is the second one (though that one has horrible pacing).

Assassins Creed. Only finished the first because they aren't interesting to me.

Nice, I played them all through the Anniversary Collection in high school so it was pretty much a marathon for me.

I did dislike that boss in 2, but other than that, I thought the game was one of the easier ones in the franchise. I'd have to say that the first game was the hardest, mainly because it was my first Mega Man game that I played. Those parts in 3 and 4 were not easy, I'd say that 5 and 6 were probably the easiest overall though.

I thought that 7 had the hardest final Wily form though...man, I hated those 4 beams that he shot at you, they were nearly impossible to dodge.
