10 Video Game Franchises That Need To Die

Ubisoft has a real bad habit of taking a good game series and just running it straight into the ground. Assassin's Creed is the biggest example of this.

With the first game being released back in 2007, the game got people's interest, and then the series grabbed people's attention with Assassin's Creed 2.

With a charming main character in Ezio, smoother parkour and assassinations, and a more interesting story, fans ate it right up. Ubisoft decided to make a few more games with Ezio, and move to an annual release schedule. This was entirely unsustainable, and after a few decent games, it quickly devolved into what we have today.

Eventually Ubisoft stopped the annual releases, but all that did was update how the games were going to feel in general instead of making each title more unique.

The overarching story of the game went completely off the rails to the point where it's entirely unclear what is even happening in modern day, the assassins have become less and less interesting over time. Gameplay has become more unstable and stale, feeling like the entire franchise is nothing but a cash grab.
