The Top 7

[Kugyince]

More more more! Sequels need more! But not just more of what you already liked, NEW things! New things that are DIFFERENT and look good on the back of the box! Or maybe they don’t...

...Introducing features for novelty’s sake only make us resent you for treating us like wide-eyed four-year-olds. We aren’t so easily pleased. Well, actually, we are pretty easily pleased – just introduce logical new features which advance your game’s core appeal without jumping the shark. Add stuff that matters, not this nonsense.

I can understand all of them, but a few of those could make a game great.

Other than a subtitle, which I think is cool, I pretty much agree with this.
