Im guessing no!

I don't feel guilty buying Super SFIV because I didn't buy the original version

I know this is going to sound weird, but I blame you, the fans of these games. You love them, fine; but why do you need another version of the same damn thing? Can't you let a good game stand on its own without sequel after sequel? I'm a fan of Panzer Dragoon Saga, but I don't want a direct sequel to it. I'm comfortable not knowing what happens to Edge in the end. Oh, and Final Fantasy VII is another good example. It was a decent game that stood on its own, and part of that was because of the cliffhanger ending. A bajillion sequels later, I can see why people bash the game (even if they are idiots for doing so without playing it or giving it a chance).

When people are truly devoted to a series, they'll do anything to get their hands on the latest game no matter what. And because of that, companies get lots of money.

" @Hamst3r:   I understand that, but it doesn't explain the majority of sequels out there (fighting games, sports game, every single new version of Tetris Attack, etc.). "

" @Hamst3r:   Same here. If there were no sequels, I never would have played about 80% of my Top 10 Games Ever, Treasure would ironically fade from existence, and I wouldn't be playing Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn as I type this. "

" @AgentJ:   I just finished the bridge chapter they copied and pasted directly from Path of Radiance. Besides, I have plenty of other excuses (the time, my Wii being absent for so long, etc.). "

" @AgentJ:   Well, I got it for my birthday about a month and a half ago, and my Wii didn't work until earlier this month, so... "

Of course, that explains it. I feel for you moon people.Are you EVER going to get Shadow Dragon? :P

The industry's wet dream is to charge you for the box. Then charge you every time you play it. Then push the big red button on the server-side that will remotely disable every copy of the game everyone ever bought after a few years, so they can offer it in some other digital format/service and charge you all over again for it. In the meantime, they're settling for milking every franchise they think they can get away with an annual release on. Easier for sports games (though it shouldn't be), but they're clearly looking toward doing it for other genres and franchises, too.
 
But hey, we seem quite happy spending sixty-five fucking bucks for an eight hour game, so we're clearly suckers to begin with.

You can say "shit" on the internet.

It's pretty simple for me really, if I like something and a sequel comes out, I'll probably end up buying it because it'll be more of what I like.
If they announce Borderlands 2 and Brutal Legend 2 tomorrow, I'd be pretty psyched.
While I may be part of the problem, you can only play the same game for so long.
