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

[czc]

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
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.

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.

The Meh: Far Cry series


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.
