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.
