Do you buy sequels without playing the first?

Topic title says it all.Personally I will NOT buy a sequel unless I've played the original game.

can pretty much garantee most of the people that got KZ2 didnt play KZ1 lol...

Don't play sequels without playing the original.

thats like asking if Im a communist....or if I like the wii......

The answers obviously no

MGS4 was my first MGS. I read all the story crap on forums and wiki and then I understood the story fine. I have played games before while missing the first part such as Resistance.

Yes, just bought Dawn of War 2, never played the first.

Others i can think of, BIA-HH, DMC4, NWN2 and i jumped into the Hitman Series on Blood Money, and went back and bought the other 3, sure theres more.

Next up is Call of Juarez Bound in Blood, never played the first, but the new one looks awesome!

I certainly hope you went back and played them. Some of the best games of the last 2 gens, right there :shock:

Most of the time I don't. I don't know, I just have a thing where I can't really play a sequel unless I've played the first. It doesn't feel right I guess.

Games I bought before playing its prequel:

Half Life 2

TF2

KZ2

MGS2

Resistance 2

TEH POWER OF THE TWO!

indirect sequels like fallout 3, oblivion, and ace combat 6 are fine. sequels like halo 3, saints row 2, and rsv2 can get confusing.

This. I also played Halo 2 without playing the first although my brother bought that one.

Only FPS...played K2, Farcry 2, Halo 3, R2, COD 3 and COD 4 without buying the first in the series. Really doesn't matter when it comes to FPS because they don't come with any compelling stories or any story at all.

Occasionally. I plan on getting Uncharted 2, don't plan on playing the first. I bought MGS2 before I played MGS1. H3 was the first Halo I owned. Didn't play first Killzone either

Sometimes. In most cases it really doesn't matter. One exception was MGS2, but I still enjoyed it. I've got Fallout 3 but can't play it unless I get my old computer fixed, or transfer the 8800 Ultra to my new computer, if that's possible.

Never played Halo before 3, and I got that.

Never played Fianl Fantasy, probably going to get that, same with Lost Planet.

Usually yes, but there are cases in which I don't. If the prequel is basically unrelated, or is extremely poor as a game.
