Magna Carta 2. Does the orange box count? I never played HL or TF. And COD4 (there is probably more I just can't think of off hand)

Fallout 3, Homeworld 2.

Why did so many people hate Homeworld 2? I thought it was awesome. I got around to playing the original later on and they were about the same only one was prettier. Was Homeworld 2 disappointing or something?

If the first Homeworld never came out and if Homeworld 2 was their opening game for the series (without the 2, obviously) it'd have probably won all of the awards and praise as the first game did...

I didn't think Homeworld 2 really mattered anyway, probably because it was it's own story in the same universe.

Halo ODST was the first Halo game I ever owned/played.

Wasn't impressed.

I played the second Drakengard game before I played the first one. Also I played RE4 before any of the other ones, but I'm not really sure if that counts because RE4 isn't really related to the storyline of the other games...

No, I really hate missing out on the references usually included in sequels. Even though a lot of sequels give you a quick overview of the events of the previous game (i.e. Modern Warfare 2's introduction), I like to have the complete experience.

On second thought, I did buy Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies, Gran Turismo 3, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 (all a long time ago for the PS2), but those games don't have continuous storylines.
