Which Do You Prefer From A Sequel— Innovation or Refinement?

No prefference, it just needs to be a good game.

God of War 2 was more of what 1 was and it was great.
4 was completely different from 3 and it was great as well.

Yeah, I agree with @BraLoD 

Neither innovation nor refinement are inherently good. It's all relative. If the premier game is crummy, I'd want them to innovate and move away from what didn't work. If the premier game is fantastic, then I'd want them to build on that foundation. But even beyond that, sometimes a sequel that moves far away from a brilliant foundation is just as great — only in a different way.
