10 Video Games That Were Utter Embarrassments For Their Franchises

10. Metal Gear Survive

What can you say about the Metal Gear series? The feeling of sneaking past your enemies and silently taking down guards wrapped up in a complex spy drama about nuke-launching mechs is utterly sublime and silly in equal measure.

However this all came to an end after Konami fired the series creator Hideo Kojima and took the chance to make something themselves.

Metal Gear Survive in short was a slap in the face to fans and was just a clear low effort cash grab by Konami to capitalize on the IP. Using the same engine as their previous title The Phantom Pain, Survive is an open-world zombie survival game set in the Metal Gear universe. Forcing zombies into a game that doesn't need them is one thing, but to then alter the gameplay from stealth to action and do it SO BLOODY POORLY was what killed this absolute plum duff.

You’re constantly managing food and water meters in a game that didn’t need them, along with having to deal with weapon degradation...and nearly all your weapons are sharp sticks. The game NEVER feels fun and all this does is make you appreciate The Phantom Pain more and more.

Ironically Survive was dead in the water the moment it belly-flopped onto the scene.
