Games you don't want sequels for

If your sequel is just: "They did it again", then just do something else.

If you are not willing to reinvent the franchise with each entry, don't bother.
Of course if you have genuine motivation; if you have something real to bring to a sequel, then go ahead.

I disagree. If a sequel is a refinement of the sequel it still has its place, as there are people who want an improvement of the previous game without a drastic re-invention of the wheel.

Depends on how dramatic the change is.
Half-Life to Half-Life 2 is huge, but it is still at the core the same game.
Splatoon to Splatoon 2 was minimal (though it brought the game to a new platform and player base, whop could not experience the first; myself included).

People need a reason to buy a game, look at the sales of: Dishonored 2, Titanfall 2 and Watch Dogs 2.
