Hey they can make a new WWII game every 8 months and I will waste my money on every single one. Why would I want to play different games with different storylines?

You know I am with you on this one. Not that I have anything against WW2 games. But I d like to see these games (or atleast their sequels) less often but with much more quality since they will spend more time on it.
I feel like they are ruining it by releasing one every 1 or 2 years. Getting 3-4 sequels in each console generation takes away from the pleasure of waiting something rare and great. The sense of value is reduced for me.
I felt the same thing in the previous gen when we got 3 Silent Hills, 4 burnouts, 2 Soul Caliburs, 3 Rachet and Clank, 3 Jaks, 4 Resident Evils , etc etc.
Not that I dont like these games. I love em but I dont feel the same excitement anymore when a new sequel is announced, or when I get my hands on it.
The smaller the gap between sequel releases the less improvements and differences you get between them. The bigger the gap means more time and money spent for a sequel until its miles better. It also creates a sense of waiting.
But when I get a sequel every year I am like "bah I expected this was going to happen. And I just got the previous game a few months ago." and I wouldnt be expecting a bigger difference in *title*3 from *title* 2 than what I got in*title*2 from *title* 1.
Final Fantasy ended up like that too. We got a great game in 1997(very excited), in 1998 we got a not so much better FF8(just excited), and FF9 in 1999(not excited) that was very much like 8 and 7 only improved here and there.
But damn if I waited for a few more years with no sequel and got FF8 on PS2 instead I would have been much more excited. I would have been more excited than when FFX was announced on PS2
