Pfffffffffff

apotheotic, 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?

The witcher 3 can be played with a great experience even with no background on the series!

DrSteveBrule,

Good to hear. I tried to start with 1, but just can’t do with those controls.

apotheotic,

I try to forget but it haunts me

Rolive,

The story of witcher 1 is still quite good and worth experiencing. I’d suggest playing it on easy only so the bad gameplay doesn’t matter too much.

I started with number 2 and felt a bit lost. I wonder if it would have been easier to start with 3 in that case.

apotheotic,

I think genuinely yeah. 2 built on 1 iirc. 3 is sort of its own thing insofar as the overall story arc

I think the better question might be what series should you start from game 1, brcause thats a much tougher question. Just about all the long running ones you can hop in wherever and be fine. Where you wanna start with Mario? Don’t matter. Whats the play for Final Fantasy? Probably whatever the recommenders first one was. Megaman? X, 0, or basic its nbd.

Yakuza is one I’d say you either start from the beginning (Technically Kiwami, but 0 is fine) or start at Like a Dragon (7, as it has a new protagonist)

Black Mesa, if you are playing through the half life franchise. Also, probably one of the best remakes ever. I can’t think of a remake better than the original, and I played HL and Black Mesa back to back to be sure.

Trails in the Sky.

2 picks up immediately after 1, and expects the player to already be proficient with the battle system from the start.

3 would be confusing and boring without having played the prior two games.

And yes, it’s a subseries, but still. Lol

DjMeas,

I’m so glad I started the series from Trails in the Sky 1. I’m currently on Cold Steel 2 and it’s been a great time.

chiliedogg,

Mass Effect trilogy.

I would be curious to see which games would have you going back the furthest to fully get the story.

Maybe something starting off on something like the MSX or Intellivision that was never remastered.

Just finished Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds DLC) last week, now trying Hollow Knight again. I’ve tried before, I love the game, I just don’t playany side-scrolling metroidvanias and even with the map and the pins I get lost and overwhelmed.

This time I’m trying to just go with the flow a bit more, not get too hung up on mentally mapping out every twist and turn, and so far I’m making much better progress (I think). Gonna stick with it.

Mostly Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Feels like this game took half a step forward and two steps back, compared to the first part. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn’t do many well. There’s minigames-ish for so many things. The open-world stuff kinda tries to be Assassin’s Creed lite, but all zones are huge, but pretty empty, with the same two types of “events” in them (go somewhere or fight). Of course, the game has a shitty crafting system, so you can pick up material in the empty zones. Combat is a bit better than before, but then the devs managed to craft the perfect enemies to make some fights feel like hell, even worse than the worst fights in Remake, and I’m not even done with the game yet. I’ve played the game for 40 hours, but the story has barely moved. I think there’s supposed to be an alternate timeline, but I think I’ve seen like five minutes of it. It’s been pretty disappointing so far, but I still like the characters, so I’ll continue playing.

Then a bit Baldur’s Gate 3. Started another Honor Mode run, going with pretty much the same party build as my first run, where I almost made it. The full fighter playthrough has to wait for the next Patch.

Finished playing Elden Ring DLC. Started going through Kenshi in Japanese and continued MH Stories (in Japaneseas well).

Do you have a favourite faction? I seem to remember really enjoying tower but it’s been a while.

SuzyQ,

Not OP, but my favorite faction was dungeon. Getting all those black dragons and having a good ole time across the map… I need to pick it back up.

Aurenkin,

Those were awesome as well. I just remembered the necropolis faction as well, I think it was in 3 that you could get insane numbers of skeletons / skeleton archers. Probably 5 as well.

Do NPCs get angry even though your charisma is high but the moment you engage in dialogue they get very sweet to you?

boblin,

I think the NPCs did that in KCD1 if you were dirty, had high charisma but a fancy armor or similar. It feels like it works similarly in KCD2, since their demeanor changes significantly when switching from peasant clothes to a proper armor. Don’t have knights armor or any other fancy outfits yet though, so I can’t tell for KCD2.

Songs of Conquest is a spiritual successor you might be interested in checking out. I agree HoMM3 is still great to revisit and SoC doesn’t quite scratch the exact same itch but it’s a good way to get more of the same but with some variety keeping it fresh

Am I the only one who really liked HoMM 4? I reinstall that every couple of years. Loved the fact the heroes were more active in combat. HoMM 3 is great too of course.

redhorsejacket,

4 was something of a departure from the formula, wasn’t it?

HoMM2 was my game from the series. For whatever reason, I never really progressed past that one, even though I had heard 3 was the consensus favorite.

Never really got into it, but it does still have some massive following in the Eastern Europe.

Every old geezer around here will wreck your ass given the chance.

HOMM was incredibly popular in Eastern Europe in the late 90s. Not as popular as Quake/CS/Unreal, but still very notable.

So much!! Will forever hold a special place in my heart

Anyone here using the VCMI project? Really impressive what they’ve done

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