Command & Conquer. I don't think I'll ever touch 4. Tempest Rising is great so there's that. I guess I'll just keep playing Tiberium Wars until time stops.

Tiberium Wars is definitely peak and pinnacle...even tho I suck at it. :)
For me it was Pokemon.
Started in order and got the games new as they came out since DPP. The core of the game to me was exploration, Pokemon, then battles. However over time Battling got more and more popular to the point where the game just became boring. This was Black and White for me.
I hoped it would get better with each release, but it was Sun and Moon where I just couldn't care any more. After that I tried a game here and there. But nothing ever went back to that core of Exploration, new Pokemon the battling.
I am ashamed to say that Pokopia (on my sibling's Switch 2) is pretty great. It's a sublime, cozy exploration game, basically absent of battling so far.
Pokopia is a subcategory of Pokemon. What kills it for me is that the game is Switch 2 exclusive. So I might get to try it in a decade.
Mystery Dungeon is still my goto favourite Pokemon game. Combat is back set, exploration top priority
Planetside 2, for me.
It was never perfect, yet it's basically dying of old age. I think that's quite an achievement for an MMOFPS.
And I'm pretty sure there will never be another game like it, at its scale (and Foxhole doesn't count IMO).
Franchises are like bubble gum. If you try to make them last too much they lose all taste.
Assassin's Creed
Diablo
There's more, but those two hurt the worst.
Don't you guys have phones? will live rent free in my head as one of the funniest on stage failures ever.

Borderlands.
Word.
Borderlands 2 had my best game memories beating Vermivorous the Invincible with 3 friends, me playing as Maya. First of all getting it to spawn is tense.
I so desperately want to like BL2 because it has Gaige, my favorite Vault Hunter of all time, but I can't replay it because the story is so infuriating to me. It's like the writers are punishing me for thinking the Vault Hunters from the first game were cool.

GTA when I watched how GTA:V shifted from a single player game to a multiplayer online service.
Gay Tony died for this
But he'll be burried in a solid gold coffin covered in diamonds because holy fuck are players stupid and giving rockstar so much money with that online service bullshit.
It's such a venn diagram between potheads and literal children...likely with lots of overlap. Lol
It's going to get worse. Getting the people behind Fivem means it's going to go to the next level with VI. It's going to be Roblox meets the current GTA streaming RP stuff.
I bought a PS5 a few years ago specifically for GTA VI. I've already decided between price hikes, and general trends, that I'm NOT buying that game. Not even just for single player.
Because I've already been told that single player will be a non-profitable after thought that barely exists.
Welp. Fuck that shit.
everything blizzard made.
Halo since 2
This is bait.
Pokémon is starting to get there I think.
Mass Effect is still on the ropes for me. Andromeda was okay. I’m personally a bit over all the open world games.
Pokopia is great, though it was made by the dragon quest builders team, not game freak.
Otherwise, can't argue
I liked what I played of Pokopia, and I loved Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Other than those, the last time I really loved a Pokemon game was likely Black 2.
I’ve been enjoying some of the quality ROMhacks that have come out in recent years like Lazarus, Odyssey, Emerald Seaglass, and Scorched Silver. I also started casually playing Platinum Kaizo (a difficulty hack), but haven’t played it much at all.
But I’ve had a better time in Odyssey and Lazarus than I have had in a mainline game in a long time.
I’m sure some of it comes from the graphics being inspired by the GSC (Lazarus) or using RSE graphics (Odyssey) and those are the most nostalgic ones for me.
Infinite fusion is fantastic, even if it didn't have the merge gimmick. My favorite pokemon game since b/w2
I might have liked Andromeda if they had enemy variety or likeable characters. Everyone knows Shepard but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of Andromeda’s protagonist or any of the team members for that matter. Absolutely forgettable in almost every way.
SAM and their relationship with Ryder was interesting.
...That's about it, sadly.
Mechanically and visually, the game was awesome though.
Ryder Peebee Drack Vetra Liam Jaal
I think that’s the squad. Then SAM, the AI.
Additionally I remember the Kett being the antagonist, and it was something generic like Archon? As the title. That might not be the right title — if it is, it’s because Genshin Impact solidified that term for me.
I honestly thought you were having a stroke until the second line. That’s how little they resonated.
RIP Call of Duty, The Sims, Sim City, RCT, Super Smash Bros, Dragon Age, Halo, and GTA

Halo. Still holding out a sliver of hope that something cool in the universe will be made one day.
Halo
The games? Yeah, eh, one of these days I'd consider Infinite single player if it's like $10.
The series? I can't remember if people said Season 2 was...watchable...but that makes me sad...
I remember liking the books, though. The books were rad.
343 hasn't come close to knowing what the fuck they're doing
The Bungie Halo era games had problems, sure, but overall were a masterpiece of a series. Everything since then has been ok at best, and borderline insulting at worst.
So much retconning, characters with zero arc, contempt towards the fandom, and build up with no onscreen payoff.
From what Halo Studios has announced regarding Campaign Evolved, and how they've dug in their heels in response to fan feedback, I wish I were as hopeful as you.
In my opinion, Halo should have always remained a Bungie property with connections to the Marathon universe, and neither series should have ever been a live service game.
I found some of 343’s multiplayer fun, but yeah their storytelling has been dog water
