After all the talk about sequals coming out, I just want to say... WHO CARES!

Whether a game is a sequal or not, it is the quality of the game that matters. For example, my favourite game ever has got to be NiGHTS on the Saturn. I for one wouldn't care one bit if Sega mad a sequal to the game, just so long as it was of high quality.

Obviously, games such as Fifa that have updates twice a year and don't really go beyond the same experience, and don't merit an update. However, in some circumstances gamers really do want sequals. To be a worthy sequal to a game, the new game has to expand on the original, have new ideas, and most of all... BE FUN! After all that's what games are all about, isn't it?

Tell me what you think.

Squaresoft games are good even though they are sequels. If you think they are same type of game you must be mad. The final fantasy series my have some similarities, but they also have a lot of differences. They are a great series of games.

Like with MGS and MGS2 there will be a lot of people saying that theses games are similar. But if you think about it these games will have a lot differences but it will still have some similarities. But this doesn't make the game crap and unoriginal because it will have a lot of original content.

thanx

I don't have a problem with sequals but when companys like Squaresoft release the same game each and every year without any different games it can get wearing.

Originality, another original game, then a sequal.
