Gaming franchises - the good, the bad, and the meh

Thread Killer Mk VIII
There are many gaming franchises that are out there. Some are exclusive to certain platforms while others span multiple platforms. I know that there are good franchises and there could very well be meh franchises, but are there bad franchises? Could a bad title spawn a bad franchise?

The Good:
Age of Empires - ah the nostalgia
Caesar - Loved building cities prefer this over simcity
Dirt - I love the handling in those games
XCOM - Its great I really should have played more of it

The Bad:
Homefront - just didn't like it, it could have been implemented so much better

The meh:
Battlefield - I just stopped caring about it.
Uncharted - I don't have a console :p
Call of Duty - having played any of the titles for a long long time

I'm sure that there are even franchises that I haven't even considered or know about.
 
Anyone will tell you I love the Soulsborne franchise. But I do have my reservation on some:

The Good
Demon & Dark Souls and Bloodborne franchise
Forza & Horizon franchise

The Bad
Any game Digital Homicide touches

The Meh
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Dead Space
Assassins Creed

The Good : Mass Effect Hopefully Andromeda will continue the trend.

The Bad : Most of the these early releases , COD, Battlfield.

I am having trouble playing single player games lately, they don't engage me as much as a good mp game.

Although I must get around to playing Witcher.
