Let's be real, Overwatch 2 was an update patch that they tried to sell as a sequel.

An update patch that introduced the most amazing feature: monetization!

[-] LadyAutumn 27 points 1 year ago

An update implies they changed something to the game. This was just an update to the monetization. A blatant pure cash grab sold as a sequel game. Its a travesty, and if they had any decency they'd scrap it, apologize, and release "Overwatch 2 A Realm Reborn" that is an actual legitimate sequel to the original game.

I loved Assassin's Creed 2, so I didn't bat an eye buying Brotherhood and Revelations as they had the same basic background. They were full price games and I played for about 15 to 20 hours on each. That's not much for full price. They were basically just new story lines for the main game.

Personally, I sometimes like when a game feels like just a new storyline (and map) for the same game. Sometimes I just want more of a good thing and don't want to have to learn new mechanics or risk the game making things worse.

And since dev time is limited, I think in theory, this could mean more time could be spent on making the story missions perfect. But in practice, I don't think that usually happens. Publishers would rather cheap out.
