Will you play a sequel without its prequel?

[SmokedHostage]

I played Dead or Alive 2 without playing 1 and Dead or Alive 4 without playing 3.

I played TES 4:Oblivion before the first 3.

I played Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising before the first.

I played GTA 3 before the first two.

I played Super Metroid before Metroid and Metroid 2.

I played Metroid Prime 3 before 2 but 1 first.

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them at the moment.
