Have you ever played sequels before their predecessors?

Fallout 3, Metal gear solid 4, red faction guerrilla (not sure if it counts), Devil may cry 4 (the first and 3rd are way better), Prince of Persia: warrior within (played sands of time afterward then 2 thrones), Half life 2, and that's all I can think of right now.
Played Call of Duty 4 before any of the other Call of Duty games, so I guess the change in setting wasn't as radical for me.
Warcraft III, had some friends that played Warcraft II when I was growing up, but we all got StarCraft by the time I was joining in with them on battle.net- don't think I missed much.
Diablo II, as well. Was lost with some of the lore, etc at first when I played but I got used to it and eventually read a lore synopsis of the first game, and looking at gameplay and screenshots, I don't think I ever could play the first one- my mind is so ingrained with Diablo II that an older, obsolete version would have me pining for the changes in II
That and Red Dead Redemption- though I didn't even know it was a sequel (technically) to Red Dead Revolver, a game I'd never played nor heard of, until I had a discussion with a friend about new IPs of the year- thinking RD Redemption was new

I played Persona 4 before the others. Though that doesn't really count since the Persona series doesn't really continue from where they left off, like the Final Fantasy series.
Mass Effect 2
Fallout 3 GOTY
Call of Duty Modern Warfare(and 2 because I never played WaW)
Star Wars KOTOR 2
...And that's pretty much it, as far as I can recall.

Did it with Saints Row 2, Mass Effect 2, and Metal Gear Solid 2
I have since played Saints Row 1 and mass Effect 1(still hunting down a copy of Twin Snakes)
but one weird thing i noticed when i was playing Saints Row 1 is that i recognized a lot of places in Stillwater, but I was recognizing them for what they would become in the sequel, not what the once were. that ever happen to anyone else?

I usually don't play sequels before the originals, its my OCD. (same with movies/shows/anime/anything) There are a few that I did thought:
Fallout 3: the other games are too old for me to bother with.
Oblivion: same as fallout 3, as soon as I heard Morrowind has no fast travel I knew I was never going to play it. ( I also heard the fastest way to travel was to continually jump, lol)
Metal gear solid 4: I wanted to play this game, but I didn't have a ps2 so I could not play the other 3. The railgun is what I love about game, I don't care if there is a better weapon. (iv been hearing rumors of a combo pack of the first 3 games, any one know anything about that?)
Prince of Persia Warrior Within: The first prince of persia game I played, it was cheap and I didn't that it was a sequel. I now own the main 5 prince of persia games, and love them to death. By main five I mean the trilogy, the reboot, and that one movie tie in.
Halo 3: it came with my xbox, been meaning to get the other 2. (for the past 3 years...)
Note: COD is weird, its not really sequential from what I can tell, except for MOD1/2. My first MOD disk is scratched since I got from one of "friends" from school so I can't get past the third mission. I did finish the second one, but the story went over my head. Something about Russians and terrorists...
Rayman 2 the great escape: got it my n64, this was when I just started gaming.
Half-Life 2: I played the episodes in order, but haven't played the first one. I haven't seen many people talk about the first one so I assumed not many have played it.
Warcraft 3: like with half-life 2 above, not many talk about 1/2.
Lol I keep adding to the list, wonder how big it will grow...

Assasins Creed 2 then Brotherhood, then AC 1: I understood the story untill i played AC 1.
God Of War 3: Tried 2 but it just felt same ecxept for less good gameplay.
Rayman 3: which is now my favorite game, and probably always will be.
warcraft 3: which is just the same as 2 and 1 except for graphics.
That about wraps it up.
(PS: can anybody please tell me how to make the box that says:"spoiler", then you click it, and then it shows the spoiler you have written)

To be fair, Mark was just a normal Japanese kid, not a walking black stereotype, in the original. And the main character wasn't white.UncleUlty said:
In other news, Fallout 2 before one, Trauma Team before any other Trauma Centers, MGS 2 before 1, Hitman 2 before 1, NMH 2 before 1, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core before the others, King Of Fighters 2000 before the others, but come on, this guy was in it: Yeah, I know that's 2002, but it's the only clip I could find, and that excuses me.
Do Fallout and Cod 4(or 2) even count? They're not sequels in the strictest sense, since they do introduce new setting, new world, new story. Or am i getting it all wrong? ehh whatever.
The two above, and Assassin's Creed 2, although, I'd like to point out, that i loved the overarching story so much that i went back and played the entirety of the 1st game, and actually quite liked it. Better, if less varied, fighting. and no instant "eat medicine to avoid Dying button"
