Soulcalibur USED to be good... SC1 and SC2 were great... SC3 was absolutely terrible, and in comparison to SC3, SC4 is a good game. But its still a far cry from what SC1 and SC2 were.. Soulcalibur Legends is a joke too.

Tekken USED to be good (I never liked it)... but Tekken 4 was a total wash to the point that the entire T4 staff was sent off to make other games (namely SC3/SC4). And from what I am hearing, Tekken 6 is terrible... and Death by Degrees as atrocious.

Xenosaga sucked from what I have heard. Xenogears was good, as it was made when Square was still developing software (now they are a publisher, and only develop FF and KH); but Xenosaga was shit compared to that. You forget, it was planned for 5 games, and was cancelled after 3 because it was so bad...

Tales WAS a great series... my favorite RPG series of all time... Tales of Phantasia is my absolute favorite RPG of all time. Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Eternia, Tales of Legendia... these are all great games. But Tales of Symphonia? Pure shit. Tales of the Abyss? Worst Tales game ever made. Tales of Vesperia looks like a carbon copy clone of Abyss; so I have no interest in that either.

Being a semi Xeno fan, I'll say that Episode 1 of Xenosaga was good. The only reason people bitched and moaned about that one was because of the cutscene length. Episode 2 is what really killed the series. The reason being that was the point in time in which important staff members (the EX-Square employees who were responsible for Xenogears) began to be removed from the project; so they cut the production of Ep IV, V and VI while having to alter the production of II and III considering the shrink in staff. So, needless to say, Episode 2 is what really gave the series the horrible name it has. Episode 3 claimed to slightly restore the series, but with all the shit that happened with Episode 2, no one (including myself) really cared about what Episode 3 had to offer.
 
I'm pretty much a Blizzard fanboy. They set a nice example on how to sellout without being a douche like EA
