In Response To: Re: 6 most Ominous trends in video games (Cody Miller) : Sequels are not bad in video games! They are only bad if you think about a : sequel from a story perspective. : Sequels are GOOD. You have a game with some mechanics that are fun. They are : good, but they could be better. So, a sequel comes along, and you IMPROVE : the mechanics. With the next sequel you IMPROVE THEM MORE. Each new sequel : gives you a better more refined game. : If all you're doing with you video game sequel is giving your characters : another story to finish, then yes that's terrible. If you're doing it : RIGHT though, and using it as an opportunity for refinement, then it is a : very good thing. : We are not on the edge of creative bankruptcy because of sequels; we are on : the edge of creative bankruptcy because developers are less concerned with : making games with excellent mechanics anymore, and more concerned with : making 'experiences', 'narratives', or 'franchises'. Based on this I assume you think Mass Effect 2 is the worst game ever made then - seeing as how it's largely accepted that from a gaming mechanics POV, ME1 is far better.
