10 Video Games That Sold MILLIONS (Despite Being Terrible)

Speaking of Call of Duty, here's the franchise nadir!

A jumbled mess of a game, CoD: Ghosts had no idea what it wanted to be. The game's marketing promised a campaign focused on guerrila warfare and stealth (hence the "Ghosts" of the title), as you sneaked around America to thwart the bad guys du jour.

So naturally the first mission ends with more explosions than a Michael Bay movie, and the finale involves flying into outer space and the firing of a sci-fi doomsday weapon.

Ghosts just feels like a game made in a hurry - a hodgepodge of different half-baked ideas and themes all thrown together in the hope something stuck. Take Extinction as an example. A twist on the traditional CoD Zombies mode, Extinction replaced the undead with extraterrestrials for no adequate reason. It was change for the sake of change, and CoD quickly went back to zombies in all future installments.

Which rather sums up Ghost's lack of impact on the franchise. Although it sold tens of millions and ended on a massive cliffhanger, CoD's publishers have made no sign that Ghosts 2 will ever be forthcoming.
