maybe the James Bond series.

it's gotten to the point that I don't think the average person could tell you what the first movie in the series was unless if they did some research first.

The Rescuers Down Under.

I keep forgetting this movie is meant to be a sequel to the boring and depressing The Rescuers. Actually...I somehow keep forgetting The Rescuers even exists, lol. Down Under completely stands on its own and would work just fine even if it was a complete standalone movie.

As an avid fan of Red Dead Revolver I know. In fact when Red Dead Redemption came out although I liked it more and thought of it as a better overall game I also said they stripped the heart and soul out of the series which was the story mode duels and turned it into just a random occasional side event with the exception of the story mode duel when you first go to Mexico.

In reality the game Call of Juarez Bound in Blood was much more of a spiritual successor to Red Dead Revolver than Redemption ever was.

I think Red Dead Redemption is the best answer so far. Read Dead Revolver is completely unknown to most.

Any game with a number in it doesn't count because it implies there are game(s) before it.

Hard disagree. The literal definition is a work that continues the story that came before it.

2 is usually considered the best in the series but the first game is still damn good. Definitely not forgotten.

No, Alien 1 is considered a better movie by PLENTY of fans.

No, for the same reason.

Final Fantasy 4?
Nah, 1 is still very much held in high esteem, and the reason 2 and 3 aren't as popular actually comes more from them being localized much later than 1 and 4. 4 was a major step forward in a lot of ways, but that's not really the main reason 2 and 3 are frequently glossed over.
