I'm surprised to see the big Nintendo games coming up so much in this thread...I expected to see PlayStation and Xbox ones but I thought everyone loved Nintendo,especially in the US....thought I would be the only one with zero interest in their stuff.
I'm from the UK and grew up in the 80's with home computer gaming(yay for Commodore.....fuck Spectrum,lol.....yea,system wars were a thing then too)and Nintendo just wasn't a thing for me and my friends....PlayStation was my first proper home console and I've continued to find their game far more interesting over the years.

Almost any AAA title from any major publisher. Give me those sweet indies with an occasional offering from Ninty.
Go back to any AAA titles that looked interesting when you can buy them stupid cheap, fully patched, with all the DLC that should have been part of the base game anyway.

Animal Crossing: Just not for me.
Fortnite: Only played a bit but I hate the building stuff.
Monster Hunter: Grind the videogame, and I hate grinding heavy games.
Diablo: Same as above.
MMO's in general: It's like an RPG except online only, with way more grinding, with everything taking longer and the best ones have a monthly fee.
Smash Bros: It's a decent party game but that's it. I find "pro" play of it boring, and currently if you want to own the whole thing it's like $120.
Pokemon: Might care again if there's ever an attempt to turn it into the top tier current gen experience it should be instead of the basic mid tier Ps2 RPG it currently is. Doubt that will happen anytime soon though.

I was going to write the only game I liked was mw. Getting the mile high achievement is something I won’t forget. Everything after that was just meh

So, you liked the game before the ending? If so, then I don't think that example supports your opinion of the franchise.
And if you didn't like the game all because of the ending after spending 140 hours, then I'm not sure what to say. If I played and liked a game for that long just to not like the ending, it wouldn't have put me off an entire franchise. But, then again, I don't have any standards for video game stories. I played lots of games that I loved and couldn't tell you anything about the story.

OP asked about a franchise. IMO, after completing two games of twelve for console release it gives me a pretty good opinion of how I feel about the franchise. I doubt I ever purchase another chasing dot simulator. Not sure why you seem to be taking it so personal. If you enjoy the franchise, enjoy.

A big one for me is Final Fantasy. It should be right up my ally, as a very japanese RPG with complex stories, great characters and such... But I could just never get into any one of them, though I tried on SNES and DS alike. Just not my cup of tea, and at this point after what feels about two dozen games, I think the opportunity to dive into the franchise and enjoy it has pretty much passed.

Basically any game that requires you to play all the time or to spend a bunch extra in order to have fun with it. If you looked at my list you would probably assume that I dislike fps games, but I love the Halo and Titanfall games, so it more comes down to games that are easy to pick up and get into whenever without feeling obligated. I also used to love sports games, but they are so nerfed if you refuse to spend extra that I can't enjoy them anymore

Anything Ubisoft
They were once one hell of a developer: AC 2, Far Cry 2-3, Splinter Cell, PoP and much more
But now, all their games are made by committee. They have no vision or heart, are overstuffed with meaningless shit to do and etc.
And lately, Nintendo.
First party support is a mess, and has been for a good while. Bunch of $60 ports and no big productions on the horizon.

I have a strange relationship to gaming. I watch many gaming related content, visiting neogaf multiple times daily and when I think about, what I really care about is:
GTA. From GTA 1 to GTA V, it always was THE game for me and if they would make some kind of subscription service, that would get me monthly new original and well written singleplayer content for GTA for 10$/month, I would do that
So most of the time, I', consuming informations about games, I don't really care I don't care for fantasy or the middle age or scifi or super heroes or sports .. I just want to drive with cool cars around a interesting world in present time, which also makes interesting stuff without my interaction.
I don't like Watch Dogs, Sleeping Dogs and I'm afraid, that I don't even like Cyberpunk. To futuristic
Driver was good (for it's time at least, the story is awful). And The Getaway. But it seems, for my taste, there is only one game per decade ..

Persona (I got a vita and this site told me a persona 4 Golden game was some sort of revelation and I played it and played it and played it and finally searched online to see when the game got good... realized it was already supposed to be and put that shit down)
GTA (Vice city was great And I loved the top down games before 3D but no interest in anything since)
Demonsoul/Bloodeborne/Seikiro (I do get the allure, but I want a game to feel fun and I have never gotten that from this genre. Feelings of accomplishment yes, but fun... no)
TLOU (first game was an amazing experience in a lot of ways but the core gameplay did little for me and after beating it, nothing was left. The story felt over and i never even bothered with TLOU II)
Fighting games (I think I just outgrew this genre... used to love it as a kid but my tastes changed as I grew)
Assasins creed- with the exception of black flag, the franchise does nothing for me.
Call of Duty- used to be a mainstay in the MW/MWII era but the franchise has been dead to me for a very long time.

Thread went from specific franchises to complete genres.
and I might as well add to it so anything sports, 99% of FPS and/or driving sims just count me out. Add in the 5 most popular online battle royale MP games too. Whatever they’re called.
Tales series, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, ... don’t care. KH, don’t care (only liked the gameplay in BBS). I love CT yet can’t stand anything about DQ.

Mass effect. Never played them thinking of buying the remasters, though.
God of war on PS4. Found it boring when i played it for an hour.
Halo never played on 360. Though recently played the master collection on PC. Finished two games on it. Skipped it for all time it was out.
Fortnite- don't like cartoony games.
