Mediocre to bad series that became good to great in following console generations?

I'd have to disagree with GTA and Resident Evil. I can certainly see the argument that they improved in the following generations, but no way the first few games are mediocre - bad.

I remember Resident Evil 1-2 being a huge deal back in the day, so yeah, I'd agree with you.
