People were mad because Spider-Man 2 took place on the same map? If Spider-Man IS from New York, born and raised, where did they want to take place? In Albuquerque?

People on the internet when a direct sequel has similar environments and gameplay loops: 🤯

When it comes to Spider-Man 2, it's never been about the gameplay or the map to me. I think they excelled at that. My biggest issue is how safe and undaring the story is.

I think a perfect example of what a proper sequel is with quality upgrade was from Batman Arkham Asylum into Batman Arkham City

People complaining about games resuing some assests, whereas yakuza fandom is happy seeing a new building in the same map for 6 games in a row lol

I'm a fan of the Yakuza series, so I understand the importance of asset reuse. But the series does it in such a way that it becomes your home away from home. With each new entry, you explore Kamurocho like you're returning to your hometown. Seeing what's changed and what hasn't. Seeing if your favorite restaurant is still there or if it's been replaced with another.

I just think the main problem I had with Spider-Man 2 is that the story didn’t grab me enough for multiple replays - even with the inclusion of Venom

Ghost of Yotei changes the map, adds new open world events, adds more weapons, and even hasa new character and people still are calling it "lazy". Wtf? It's so aggravating.

Many of the sequels mentioned in this video are excellent sequels, nothing lazy about it
