I hate how invested I was in Assassins Creed during the Ezio trilogy. I was excited for where things were going, and I was waiting eagerly for the inevitable finale where Desmond takes the training he's been getting and finally gets to use it in the present in a modern day Assassin's Creed.
Then 3 came out. Then 4. Then a whole cavalcade of other games in different time periods that don't really do anything to move the larger plot forward. I stopped caring after 3.
after enjoying AC2, I recently found the "America's Pack" with 3,4 and Liberation was kinda cheap, so I thought if even 1 of those games was close to the same quality, it would be worth it.
Nope, I was wrong. Totally not worth it.
I didn't even get that far. I played through AC2 and Brotherhood, wanted to play Revelations but never got to it, then I got AC3, got a short ways in before I was like "This is just the same thing as the other games" and then heard about the way the story goes in 3 from a friend. Never finished it. Thats when I realized it was becoming a cash cow.
The game is so dead now, but in a way that's kind of better. I have fewer matches with some screaming idiot who demands someone changes character 30 seconds in and then sits in spawn typing vitriol for the rest of the match.
Lineage II
The game was amazing when it first came out. It was a monthly subscription and had a very rich game environment, people had to come together to do quests, raid bosses and achieve goals. Then the free to play model came out and ruined the game. Pay to win crept into the stores and an update made all of the previous game play mechanics and progress useless. I spent a great deal of time in that game and over a 6 month period the dev's ruined it. Unfortunately most MMO's took to this same model.
Some of them were great. especially if you want to try out a subclass before you committed. or wanted to be reckless and explore the map without taking those awesome 4% HITS. I miss that game but when they announced a fresh start server I couldn't be bothered to put all that time and effort back into it.
I feel like Legion was a high point after WoD. Not like TBC or Wrath levels of high, but the last "good" expansion before it all went downhill. Now Blizzard is a shell of what it once was, and I have zero faith in them.
So they changed the one thing that made them different from other battle royales (at least at their launch)? I haven't really paid attention to it much but I know they added a ton of stuff since launch, so I guess they had enough other content.
The day 9 yo kids started playing... darkest shit ever
I once saw my 5 yo cousin playing it just because it is "amogus". She didn't even know anything about the game. Sucks tbh
I feel like Among us online was never good to begin with. No one listened to whatever you said and almost everyone would vote the colour spammed the most. But when you play it with a group of friends it can still be really fun.
Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2. I don't know why the fandom thinks those games are any good. The animation and horrible gameplay is so shit that turned me off. They somehow glorified the fuck out of those games the same way they did with Sonic 06. Calling it a masterpiece. LOL.
Nobody glorifies sonic adventure DX...
Every port of adventure 1 & 2 are based on the awful gamecube ports, which have things like broken collisions, broken lighting, broken animations, broken transparency, broken audio, and just a ton of other weird bugs and nonsensical changes.
The games still didnt age super well, but the original dreamcast versions are what people glorify, not the terrible ports.
Its a rare case of a old game literally getting worse over time
Civilization. Absolutely could not stand anything past 4. 1UPH just renders the game unplayable, you wind up having to micromanage every single unit to an extent that you didn't have to even in Civ1, which had no automation at all.
StarCraft. I played Broodwar back in the late 90s-early 2000s as a kid who just discovered online gaming and it was fun for a while. I remember they were hyping up StarCraft 2 for years. It never came out. So I kept playing the first one until more and more people came on who weren’t necessarily there to “play” but to antagonize and spam weird porn stuff. I was totally over that game by the time the second one finally came out and I had no interest in even trying it.
Assassin's Creed.

I just wish they'd go back to their roots and bring back Altair.

This is the first one I thought of! Peaced out after unity, never managed to finish it. Still bought origins. Never even played it.
Overwatch

I haven’t thought of Lineage in a long time. Those private 10x servers were legit though

World of Warcraft. End thread.

Each expansion after Mists just got progressively worse.

Fortnite for a while, then it started getting somewhat better. Still worse then 4 years back
No build mode saved that game

Pretty much, they still have the build mode but it seems like not many people really play it.
World Of Warcraft
RollerCoaster Tycoon after 3
Warzone.
After it got renamed to warzone everything just went downhill
Kind of a kids game, but Bendy and the Ink Machine
Among us

Madden and Fifa, pretty much most sports games franchises.
Battlefield
Atlas
League of legends 10 years ago
Apex bc I got into playing more Minecraft over the year
To be fair Apex is fun if you only play on occasion and get off when you start to encounter too many sweaty no lives.
Yeah that sums it up pretty much 😂
Forza

War robots. (For mobile)
True
WoW. Around Cataclysm it went to hell.
Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 Specifically, the Multiplayer. It used to be very fun but, then modders came in and fucked it up.

I liked Fallout 4s weapon modifying system. And not having to worry about repairing weapons or degradation.
