Ninja Gaiden 3 (yes, even razor's edge)

Ninja gaiden was one of my favorite gaming franchises, NG 1 and 2 had incredible gameplay and an amazing sense of mystery, discovery and adventure. Ninja gaiden 3 felt like a dumb parody of previous games, every fight was in a closed room with barriers, explosions all the time, shitty camera and combat, social ryu hayabusa??? wtf... where are the ninpos? where are the items? where are the weapons? where are the puzzles and open levels? Almost felt like they did everything wrong just to fuck with Itagaki. They tried to fix some stuff with razor's edge, but when you play that version you think "man... I miss Ninja gaiden 1 and 2" and then when you think "well, at least the next NG is going to be better..." this happens:

Nioh looks like good old team ninja and hopefully one day Ryu is going to comeback and steal Bayonetta's crown, like he did back in the day with Devil May Cry.

which game broke your heart  and ruined an entire franchise for you?

I actually kinda like NG3, it has some of the coolest moments in the trilogy, but if my memory serves me the linear thing began with NG2. NG3 moved more in that direction and had some flatout boring moments, still better than I think it gets credit for.

Yaiba was fucking dog shit, it shouldn't even exist. Nioh looks like a Darksouls clone, but I got my eye on it.

A single bad game doesn't ruin a franchise, they can always try again. If that was the case than Sonic 2006 would have killed any interest in Sonic for me.
