I mean, all video games are like that, really. (Destiny)

Do you need Madden 27? They switched to years so you don't realize just how many god damn football games you've bought, but really they could just send out a text file with roster update info and your old Madden would be good to go. Instead they make a "whole new game" (which we all know is 1 feature added and a roster update) and sell us that at full price.

What about the next Super Mario game? Zelda? CoD? Des2ny? These are all cash grabs because it is MUCH easier to sell an existing IP than to sell people a brand new one.

At least we generally know what to expect from video game sequels, and the gameplay is generally improved.

I think the real concern here with TLoU 2 is that the STORY was so good, and writing is not, generally, as good in sequels. The question is not at all "will this be a fun game" but "will the story live up to the original."

That will be a hard bar to jump over, but we know the gameplay is fun. That means the worst case scenario of good gameplay with bad story means it will be just as good as Destiny. Chew on that!
