No, I can't. Your list really says it all. I have always blamed
gamers, not the studios firstly, and your list is the reason why I do.
We talk the talk but we do not walk the walk.

I don't blame publishers or gamers, as I've never had a problem with
sequels.  How can I complain about there being countless Call of Duty
games or Madden games when I bought so many sequels myself?

I have Might and Magic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Heroes of Might
and Magic 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, plus Civilization 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
On the consoles, I have Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12,
13. and 13-2, plus Disgaea 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, D2.  I won't list all the
Total War games I have, but I have 10 of them, plus 7 Tales of games
and 8 Harvest Moon games.  There's also the 5 Grand Theft Auto games,
plus 4 Borderlands, 4 Thief, 4 Deus Ex, 4 Jedi Knight, 4 Saints Row,
and 4 Europa Universalis games.

Now some of these games I could live without, and there's more than a
few I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but for the most part I
think my video game collection would be much worse off without all
these sequels.

I don't really do series like that.  The only couple I've done are all
the Fallouts and all the Dark Souls (actual Fromsoft games)

FO 1, 2, T, BoS, 3, NV, 4, S, 76.  The real rarity is I enjoyed and
finished every one of them that are finishable (though haven't played
the DLCs for NV & 4.)  Which reminds me I need to get around to FO London.

DS is only 1, 2, 3, ER, BB, and DeS and I can't even say I truly enjoyed
all of those, parts yes, but parts no.  I didn't even finish DeS, or the
DLCs for 2.

Oops I think I missed a bunch of games on that list,  Oh well.  I've got all the Mass Effects, but didn't really enjoy #3 and didn't buy the DLCs.  Also GTA 1, 3, VC(the best), 4 and 5.  2 is apparently not available at least on PC.
I probably have most if not all the Elder Scrolls games, but didn't really enjoy the majority of them.  Only Daggerfall and Skyrim.  I still bought or obtained them.
I've got tons of Star Wars games, but that's only because I bought a huge bundle with tons of old games in it.  Twice, once in a box and once on Steam (because it had a lot more for less.)  Deep discounts.

Finished Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and FC 5. I liked FC, so I bought
FC4 then didn't play it -- but did put 51 hours into FC New Dawn.

Blood Dragon's great, but it took a 2nd attempt to get into it.  I don't know why but I found it insanely hard in the beginning the first time and gave up.  Maybe after playing some more AC & FC games I got the hang of it.  Primal was great and very different.  I tried one of the other 'normal' FCs (I think it was given away) but quit about halfway through out of not caring and it started to feel like a slog, so haven't bought any of the others.
