Sequels vs Completely new games?

[quote=OsmBear]Hey mobafiends. I was sitting here wondering what great games were coming out this year and realized a lot of us have been looking forward to sequels. Sure the sequel continues the story of a great game such as Mass Effect, Uncharted and Gears 3 will this fall/early next year but don't you guys yearn for something new? There's nothing like a new world and story to get me excited, way more than sequels will ever do. Here's one game I'm looking forward to.

[quote=Lugignaf]I'm ok with sequels as long as they add something genuinely new. Megaman 1-6, they changed a lot between the games. Sonic games, not so much. Portal 1 and 2, many changes were made. After a while, I really wish sequels would just stop. After 10 games *cough coughFinal Fantasycough* something needs to be stopped.[/quote]

[/quote] Final Fantasy is more of a franchise but yeah I get your point. I just look forward to something completely new than what sequels/franchises have to offer nowadays. I just want to hear what people who look forward to sequels more than originals feel about it and why.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Re-boots of old games are fine too. As long as they don't stray too far from the original formula that made the game great in the first place. On topic: Sequels offer more story in a game that has some and offers more game play in games that have no, little or, mangled story.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]if the original was good than a sequel can be. however they can still be bad. the only game i can think of that i'm looking forward to right now that isnt a sequel is la noire. other than that all im looking forward to are sequels. uncharted 3 diablo 3 batman arkham city duke nukem forever just to name a few.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]The newest devil may cry, that takes place before Devil May Cry will be a completely different game....Wellllll the lines are gonna be short for this one.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I like sequels if they don't disappoint. Sequels are fine as long as they don't fucking suck (like most games).[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Note to Square Enix... STOP MAKING KINGDOM HEARTS GAMES THAT RANDOMLY JUMP AROUND A TIMELINE! Thank you.[/quote]
