As the title says, Why do you or others get hyped about sequels when they never played the games in the series before the upcoming sequel?

I know poeple who were crazy about the hype for Witcher 3 and they had never even heard of the Witcher series before the hype for the 3rd started, Iv'e also seen poeple massivly hyped for MGS 5 without playing a MGS game before. There is plenty more examples I could of used but theese are 2 of the big more recent releases.

If a new sequel comes out and the hype is real and iv'e not played the series I have always gone back and played the origionals up to the current sequel and I could never just jump into a game series without starting from the beggining.

So do you get hyped for sequels in series you never played?
