start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

these topics do not close when they are done so if you want to go argue over the results feel free to bump old topics and increase my brand recognition: https://bit.ly/YFTB8

Terra Battle

Sad to see that Hironobu Sakaguchi tried with this series but it never really took off. All 3 mobile games it had have already shut down, so it literally is a dead franchise.

Which is a legit answer. It has enough games to count as a franchise but never amounted to anything.

I know that's not a franchise but failure in the gaming community can't get much bigger than EA.

Halo

Is what I thought of. Even though I actually love Halo 4 and Halo 5 was good enough if you block out the narrative. The expanded movement options in that game are on point, at least, and make for really good multiplayer.
