Not 3 for me, but I really love 5. 3 has way too outdated graphics for my tastes.

This is an old game series, but it was proof that you could put as much blood and gore into a game as you wanted and still get a Teen rating in the US, as long as you’re just killing/dismembering Nazis.

BloodRayne. There’s a “cheat” to change a few of the visual effects. One makes her put all her weapons where she is actually storing them, and shows the unused weapons at all times. One makes the blood spray levels "more accurate to the actual amount of blood in the human body. The last one just makes her boobs bouncier.

Call of Duty World at War

You didn’t mention what platform but all of the Sniper Elite games are on Gamepass including the literally just released Resistance.

ComeHereOrIHookYou, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

So many nice recommendations here but here are some of my recommendations in genres (in top 5 form). All of them have PC ports (but not all of the series may be available on PC)

Platformers:

  1. Rayman
  2. Sonic
  3. Wonder boy
  4. Shantae
  5. Trine

RPGs

  1. Final Fantasy
  2. Tales of Series
  3. Star Ocean
  4. Elder Scrolls
  5. Pathfinder

Some noteworthy mentions for RPGs

  1. YS
  2. Mana

Shooters:

  1. Medal of Honor
  2. Shadow Warrior
  3. Doom
  4. Call of Duty
  5. Wolfenstein

Puzzles, point and click: Note: This was very hard to list since most of them are standalone and those that are not have interesting plot lines that you will not appreciate unless you play in order such as Syberia, Gabriel Knight, Secret Files. Walking Dead)

  1. Myst (You can play in any order but it would be nice to play the sequels or prequels)
  2. Broken Sword (Don’t touch 4 and 5 but you can play in any order and it would be nice to play the sequels or prequels)
  3. Life is Strange (1 and 2 are standalone stories)
  4. of Loathing series (It has turned based combat but very fun)
  5. Nancy Drew

I would say I prefer them in the chronological order of their release date. Some of the series I have listed completely have either loosely, small references or completely standalone only sharing a “franchise name”

Do none of the Final Fantasy involve each other?

ComeHereOrIHookYou,

SLR got busy IRL, well most are standalones.

There are some games in the series that has some sort of connection like X and VII through Shinra or Tactics and XII sharing the same world.

There are direct sequels though like X and X-2 or the XIII trilogy but they are not the norm

Battlefield 1942, especially with the Battlegroup 42 mod.

the various COD Black Ops with Nazi Zombies…

Ashen44, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

Monster Hunter. There’s tons of recurring stuff between games due to the nature of the series, but other than being able to go “hey, I recognize that from this other game!” there’s no reason to play the games in any particular order. I’d normally recommend World or Rise to new players, but with Wilds coming out in a month I’d say that’s the best option if you have the hardware for it. Wilds is a thematic sequel to World though, so starting with World before Wilds is something you might consider, though it’s not really necessary.

ryathal,

I haven’t actually played any of the old monster hunters before world, but from what I understand they are far more clunky, and you tend to fight the game almost as much as the monsters.

Ashen44,

You aren’t wrong, they’re definitely significantly more clunky, but they also absolutely have their own charm to them. If you’re a fan of “older” game design they might really appeal to you. There’s a much greater focus on the out-of-hunt preparation phase, and while the lack of many QOL features might be frustrating to some players, to others it adds to the personality of the games. They’re definitely games worth trying if you’re interested in retro gaming, or in Monster Hunter history, and they’re all easily emulatable.

That being said though, most players should probably just stick to the newer games, it truly cannot be overstated how much of a leap World was for the franchise. The amount of quality of life features and gameplay improvements is staggering, and going backwards from that can be a bit jarring.

Bosht, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 1/2/3 or however many there are. Granted they’re zombies, but still solid

LordCrom, do gaming w What video game franchises do you not need to start from the very beginning to enjoy? What would you recommend as the entry point into your favorite series?

Uncharted

You can pick up any game in the series and you get a complete story.

Plus imho, one of the best series in recent memory

ILikeBoobies, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

What a weird question, just mod nazis into whatever killing game you enjoy the most

SPRUNT,

Not the same. That’s like killing the actors who played nazis in movies.

ILikeBoobies,

Vs killing the actors playing Nazis in a different game?

Veilguard was excellent, but it pissed off bigots and now it’s outright unsafe to speak positively about it on the other site.

Favourite Series - Recommended Entry Point

  1. Final Fantasy - VI
  2. Atelier - Sophie
  3. Dead or Alive - 5 Last Round
  4. Senran Kagura - Burst Renewal
  5. Romancing Saga - 2 Revenge of the Seven
Kingofthezyx,

Final Fantasy - VI

I actually think IV, but then skip to VI and go from there.

otp,

4 is better if you want an old school fixed-class character-driven JRPG. But 9 and 10 do that in a more modern way.

6 is better if you want an old-school blank-slate character-driven JRPG. But 7 and 8 do that in a more modern way.

7, 8, 9, and 10 are all retro themselves though.

5 is great if you want an old-school “character class” JRPG. And if you want it to be character-focused, you’ve gotta look at something like 10-2.

Recommending specific games from the franchise really depends on what someone is looking for.

TyrianMollusk, do gaming w Forza Horizon 5 will be coming to PS5. Likely other xbox exclusives will too.
@TyrianMollusk@lemm.ee avatar

I wish companies could do genuinely good things like release big games on more platforms, without everyone’s response being hand-wringing about what bad things it might mean for their own hardware.

Especially when it’s Microsoft, whose Xbox platform already extends into this tiny other thing people might have heard of, called Windows… I think they’ll be ok, somehow.

I’m more interested in this being FH5, which is just switching into a kind of maintenance mode, where weekly activity playlists repeat instead of doing new things, and both of those before there’s even talk about FH6. Adding significant new players to FH5 now seems an interesting choice.
