Games near universally accepted as the worst in their franchise

Yes, it is. Street Fighter The Movie isn't actually that bad of a game.
I can't say that without having played DS Episode I and II or the cell phone game Pied Piper.
Subspace Emissary is still incredible.
For more casual fans there's several interesting features over other games. Their coin shooting minigaming was also great. Snake's codecs are amazing.
Master of Orion 3. Trash. Just complete trash.
It doesn't even work for this thread because the thread title is "near universally accepted." Master of Orion 3 is universally accepted. No near necessary.
Huh, had no idea people felt that way. They're my favorite games in the series I think.
Joke answer : All the latest title in longrunning franchise.
Serious answer : Duke Nukem Forever and Final Fantasy XIV vanilla.
I'm pretty sure XY (heck even SunMoon I think) is more hated than B/W. Personally I like B/W, have the most memorable story and cast of characters.

Not a controversial pick. I do like the MP (bizarre design decisions and all) more than Gears 2 with its slow ass movement and nuke grenades.
This thread is fundamentally flawed because there's no usable metric here. Who is "everyone"? Are we talking series "true fans" or general population because there's a HUGE difference in perception there. You pick any series and you'll have "true fans" arguing that the multi-million selling critically acclaimed entry that was popular with fans and newcomers alike was "widely hated". (Hitman: Absolution, for example.) Then you've got series like Call of Duty where people will claim a game was "universally accepted as the worst" because... someone didn't like the multiplayer.
i think Zelda II is way more hated ,hence its title "black sheep" of th franchise and Spirit tracks is one of the best imo ;_; .
id say Sonic 06 is considered the worse by most sonic fans
Truthfully im not so sure which Pokemon games are liked least ,i def know of people who hated B and W cuz they found the designs ugly . but ive seen people love it for the story too and the gameplay. Quite frankly i think there isnt any main Pkmn game thats mostly hated cuz there are so many fans that im sure each game has its own sizeable fanbase.
and tbh most of the answers (including mine) are the same too . There isnt really any true consensus for which game is the worse in any franchise at all

The ones I was going to say have been said (DMC2, Ace Combat Assault Horizon. and Drakengard 2). However, Drakengard 2 is a bit debatable as it's the one which lacks the appeal because it's a Taro game but I've heard many say it played the best in terms of gameplay but that just wasn't they wanted out of a DG. DG3 is a barely running mess but has the appeal of being an actual Taro game with what you would expect (or not expect) from a Taro game.
I imagine Metal Gear Survive will go down as one of these for similar reasons.

I actually like S4, just cuz it's pretty breezy to get through and I like some of the characters (getting Ted with the Soul Eater is cool as hell), but it's ultimately a bad Suikoden game, even tho it's not a bad game-game.
Don't agree with the Mass Effect 3 comments at all. It was a divisive game for sure but it is most certainly not universally accepted as the worst of the franchise.
I think Mass Effect 3 receives still to this date a lot of (at the time deserved but not now) hate and frustration over the ending. I would say that alot (not all but many) of those people still saying this today did not play either the extended cut which turned the ending into simply a bad ending rather then the atrocious original ending nor the citadel DLC which is widely regarded by the community as the accepted ending of the series.
Also not agreeing with Mass Effect Andromeda (if it was left unpatched then for sure, otherwise i think in today's state it is an acceptable entry).

Yeah. SF1 was cutting edge for its time. SFTMTG was trash for its time and is even more trash now, but SFTMTG benefits from like 7 or 8 years of genre progress. The Saturn port of the game is like the bastard child of Mortal Kombat, Super Turbo, and Darkstalkers, so it beats SF1 by default.
This is just a mechanical assessment, though. SF1 is a very important game that also has a lot of nostalgic appeal. It's just very unfun to play.
Yeah maybe it's Ghost I'm thinking of. All these CODs is indistinguishable at this point lol. Memory haze.
As much bickering as there is in the Persona franchise you won't find many people going to bat for 1.
Eh, both are definitely disliked more than 2 or 1. That really can't be debated.
Woah woah woah there!
Yeah, even though in a poll it would probably come out as the worst, it still has a substantial proportion of the fanbase who consider it one of, if not the best in the series.
I came in here just to see if anyone would say it. SMB2 is the best 2d mario game. World is 2nd and 3 is 3rd.
IMO Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis on the GBA is worse. They took an amazing game and utterly butchered it.
DMC2 is the definitive answer. There's not a soul on this planet that could argue it's better than any of the other games in the series.
I agree - that's the point... You can't argue that there is one definitive entry in the Mass Effect franchise that is universally regarded as the worst if you are putting them both down. Even in this thread we have already seen plenty of Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda posts.
I agree both are worse then Mass Effect 1 + 2. However while i personally like ME3 more then Andromeda i know plenty of people feel differently.
I think most people are fine with accepting that Fallout 4 is the worst Fallout game, excluding spinoffs. Though the other 3 main games are of so high quality that's hardly anything for 4 to be ashamed of (I actually really liked 4)
If you don't agree with 3 or Andromeda, which was the worst in the franchise?
Edit: Nevermind, you expanded above.
As an unabashed fan of king of fighters
Fuck king of fighters XII. Never mind the huge lack of characters, the game didn't feel right and the critical counter was a joke. Never mind the characters that did make in the game had reduced movesets. That game made me break my controller for the first and only time
I'm glad XIII console ver exists which is arguably its pinnacle. But man it was a terrible time to be a KOF fan

Actually it can because some people forget just how much golden boy ME2 is hated by ME1 "true fans". The irony is that ME3 bought back a lot of the things ME1 fans liked. These discussions are heavily distorted by assumptions like "ME2 isn't hated, right?" Well, actually it is. Basically every single Bioware game has a hatedom. It's just a question of visibility.
Well if you're excluded spinoffs, you're already kinda cheating. No way is Brotherhood of Steel (the Dark Alliance clone) better than Fallout 4.

Horrible combat system, annoying protagonists, and the convoluted plot is soo bad that it hurts the stories of past and future games.

completely agree, it's just so forgotten by just about everyone it's hardly worth considering. Plus I don't like comparing spinoffs to mainline games, but that's just personal preference. If you include spinoffs, then yes, BoS is clearly the worst game, though its worth mentioning that New Vegas (definitely) and Tactics (debatable) are, in fact, better than 4.
There are far more universally hated entries than 6. Resident Evil Survivor and Operation Raccoon City come to mind.
The original Street Fighter comes to mind. What a lackluster first entry into a fantastic franchise.
Metroid: Other M. Still makes me angry because it felt like they were attempting character assassination on Samus with Adam and Ridley.
