Paperboy  Posts: 39 Joined: 19 Nov 2009   | I played Final Fantasy X-2 before playing FFX. I guess "played" isn't the right term. I suffered through the intro before tossing it out the window. |

Anonymous Source Posts: 5 Joined: 9 Jul 2008    | I think the only time I've ever done this is with Resident Evil 4, which doesn't really rely on the earlier games at all; besides I knew enough about them to know who Wesker and Ada were for example. Other than that, I pretty much never play a game until I've played the earlier ones if they build on one another. For example, I got Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts as a gift, and went out and played the first two games first to make sure I got the jokes and references. Turns out there wasn't as many references as i though, but the games were fun so thats OK. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 180 Joined: 30 Mar 2007   | I jumped into the Silent Hill series with Silent Hill 3. Then went to play the rest. Not exactly the best decision for a newbie to the series, but it worked to hook me permanently and the series is now one of my favorites. I have never played Metal Gear Solid (the original). I started with MGS2. I own the 3-game collection for PS2 now and will be playing that original MGS soon. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2755 Joined: 3 Mar 2009     | sure. I played mario 1-2 and, and then 64 so i guess i missed 3 through 63... BG2, RES4, Metroid prime3, and prolyl several others i can't remember. Left COD4 and stuff like it out, cause the games are non-contiousus as far as i know, they're a new installemnt, not sequels. |

This one doesn't really matter. AVP2 doesn't really have any story connection to AVP. |

Final Fantasy and Call of Duty games don't really matter as each one is pretty much stand alone. The Modern Warfare Call of Duy games are the only ones that actually connect to each other on a storyline level, and even then you don't really need to have played COD4 to enjoy MW2, as MW2 only makes a few references to MW's plot(the nuke going off being a big plot point). In fact, even in the WW2 games, the only real connecting factor if there are British, there's always a Captain Price and he's pretty much a walking badass who can't die. |

Obs. This does not apply if you already knew that the story in the previus game wouldn't affect the sequel (Bad Company 2 or any Final fantasy game for instance.).
I bought Jak 2 when I was 10 without ever having played the first. I think it actually took my until after I had completed Jak X (well, as much as I could complete before it corrupted my memory card) that I bought Precursor Legacy.
