The better question for you is "what hasn't gone downhill?"
Metal.
Gear.
Solid.
Yep, Metal Gear Solid always sucked so it can't get much worse.. Badum Tish.
I'll agree with the ongoing argument of "all sequels" and leave it at that.
Specificly though? World of Warcraft. Warcraft 3 had alot of plot holes but I forgave it, such as the inexplicably and sudden change of tone from Ner'zhul being a coward and an idiot to being an ultra evil badass. Lets not forget the mary-sue Arthas and killing off most of the worthwhile heroes. (The best hero, Doomhammer, already being dead by Warcraft 3, the bastards.)
World of Warcraft saw the addition of the Forsaken into the Horde, which made no fucking sense but in the end I rolled with it because it wasn't that far of a strech, another outcasted group seeking refuge from racism and attempting to make a new life for themselves.
Then The Burning Crusade came out, seeing the addition of Protoss and California-- I mean Draenei and Blood Elves. The cockslap was that the orcish home world didn't have much orcish content, it was mostly focused on the two new races. Then a group of light elementals that looked like floating jigsaw puzzles are revealed to be the source of the light.
The Wrath of the Lich King saw Dalaran fly its city to Northrend to answer Malygos' call of them abusing magic. Yeah that really proves you have alot of brain power, flying an entire fucking city over to Northrend and endangering the civilian populous when it would have been just as easy to create a fucking portal there to one of the already established alliance settlements. Not to mention there is no mention of Ner'zhul yet, just Arthas, which is yet another cockslap to the Horde as most of the content we've been getting feels forced and out of place.
To top it all off most of the instances feel out of place in the world, such as the wintergrasp instance and an instance to defeat a group of Black Dragons in their own fucking turf for no better reason then their there. (dey iz evul k?)
To finish off what little interest I had in the universe they created a manga, their art style is awful, turning Garona Halforcen into a chibi stripper. The story is tripe, which fits well with the other recent additions. Such as an amnesiac king who can fell dragons with one hit with his mighty elven blades.
Overall the series should never have been made into an MMO.
