Valve will never have this issue.

fallout 1, and fallout 2 are amazing games. yes it helps to use the new community engines for modern computers, but its hard to find that level of narrative engagement in any modern games. (fallout new vegas is also excellent)

What is TSE? The Scrolls Elder?

People who do not play FarCry 2 are missing out

Their loss

Fallout 1 and 2 are some of my all time favorite games. Absolutely would recommend playing them.

Can probably add Baldur's Gate to the list now

Fallout fans: Not touching anything beyond the first two games

Here's a hot take. I really like the leveling system in Final Fantasy 2.

Warcraft 2 was actually a really great game. If Warcraft 3 and StarCraft never came out and utterly eclipsed it, it would have been an all timer. Warcraft 1 was also good, but inferior to 2 in basically every way and never got time to shine.

Witcher 1 was incredibly tough to play through, but Witcher 2 was great.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked the first 2 Grand Theft Auto games on PC better than the more well known ones... They were top down view and easier to just pick up and play. The graphics were more like a 16bit era game. They were simpler games that just felt more fun to me than the giant massive games that came out later. I tried a few of the later ones but it just made me miss the originals lol

I absolutely love Fallout 1 & 2. They are personal favorites. Far Cry 1 was also incredible, but the only ones I've touched after were Primal and Blood Dragon. I really need to try out the early GTAs though.

Well "far cry fans" are wrong. Far cry 2 is probably the last mildly risky game Ubisoft ever produced and was way ahead of its time in a lot of aspects.

Play The Witcher 2. Seriously.

Now TW1... shudders

GTA2 was cool. Never played the new stuff

GTA 2 and Warcraft 2 were the best in their respected series

the first two fallout games are better than fo3 and faaaaar better than everything after nv

Then we have Age Of Empires, where we just stick to 2 mostly.

If you play 4, I hope it improves and devs don't do more weird things!

If you are playing 3 DE, your tastes are beyond my understanding.

If you are playing 1, no you're not! They remade AOE1 in AOE2 engine, just come play with us over here.

Mythology fans, we're getting our remake soon!

Assuming TSE is a typo (Elder Scrolls), I would say to everyone PLAY DAGGERFALL.

Also, Skate 1 and 2 are dope. 3 is great though.

Fallout 1 and 2 are the actual good ones lol

Persona 2 duology is better written than any other Persona game, and I think one of three games I've cried finishing. That's not a "tough guy" flex, that's just a comment on how shallow most video game writing is.

Also you can be gay and fight Hitler. Tatsuya sweep.

I guess this is one of those times where being old and having played the first two installments of the series mentioned, because that was what was out at the time, makes you look cool. Right guys?

Far Cry 1 is the only good Far Cry game.

Who the hell isn’t playing the first two Yakuza games but starts at 3? They’ve both been remastered and are some of the best in the series.

We can't find/buy gta 1/2 legally anymore...

Such bizzare moment when someone acknowledged megaten series and its fanbase on this kind of forum.

Fallout 1(!) and 2 is still enjoyable due to its turn based and variety of char build. Although may be frustating if you do not understand how the game played.

Meanwhile on Saints Row series, the best are on 1 & 2 (back when they have more grounded story though they have whacky side content).

I loved ff1. But I can no longer find an instance of it that plays like the original, the phone remakes don't feel right.

IF YOU DONT PLAY THE FIRST 2 YAKUZA GAMES, I WILL FIND YOU AND TSKE YOUR MONEY AND DOWNLOAD THEM ON YOUR COMPUTER.

nice this just triggered the Warcraft 2 music in my head

Unpopular opinion: the psp port of Persona 1 has my favorite song from Shoji Meguro, he did a fantastic job.

Also I'm pretty sure Far Cry 2 has a very vocal fanbase, it's very much loved.

I don't know if TSE is a misspelling of The Elder Scrolls. In case it isn't: The Elder Scrolls.

Jokes on you op. When I get into a series I always go back to the start of it.

I touched Final Fantasy I & II

Should add the battlefield games as well.. most people started at 3... though there are more than 2 games before BF3.

My fav is still 2142
