First of, A&RPGl and, you picked 3 very good games to start with.=) Secondly, I recommend Jeanne D'Arc and Hexyz Force. And I'll be a deviant and also recommend Final Fantasy 1 and Final Fantasy 2, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Crimson Gem Saga and Hexyz Force are both on Sale right now, so if you're interested, they certainly won't break your bank if you get them today.

It's worth keeping in mind that while AC1 probably isn't bad when gotten for cheap (shouldn't be hard these days) if you want to get to the good part you'll want to skip it. Especially since the biggest issue people have is how damn tedious it gets.
Yeah, that's why I never got Assassin's Creed 1. If its story is important to Assassin's Creed 2, I'll look it up, I don't think it's worth playing from the looks of it. I'll probably do the same with NMH1, too. |

My theory is that only people who played the first game directly after it's release (and the glorious hype train) felt really burned. I played it last fall, and while I saw it's faults, I didn't really find anything hateable about it. I think if it hadn't been hyped to death, people would have played it for what it was, and generally said, "oh, this game is kind of cool, a bit repetitive, but some really interesting things". Instead it's, "OMG this game isn't the second coming of Pizza Jesus the Third!" I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but I really had some fun with it, far removed from it's initial hype. No question the second was far better and improved (instant GOTY material), though.
You also paid way, way less than they did. Even if they had realistic expectations they still paid $60 for the game, and if they didn't feel they got their $60 worth of entertainment they're going to be disgruntled. I have that problem with a lot of game's nowadays. They take so long to make for just 20 hours of gameplay, and ringing in at $60-$70. I like a lot games with extra options and play modes. More replayability would be preferable over length, yes. I miss Game+ and hidden secrets that you could miss on your first playthrough that netted you awesome rewards. Does Assassin's Creed have those? |

My problem is that, judging from the reviews, Dark Dawn still has all of the problems that the first game did: low difficulty, slow beginning, too much text, too many random battles, etc. I'm sure there'll be plenty that won't mind that, but those problems were the main reasons Golden Sun failed hard for me. I'll still give it a chance someday, but it doesn't sound like an insta-buy just yet.

Bought it for my bro for Xmas, will probably play some of it, too.
Those are the best type of gifts. :P Bought FFX for my brother... he moved out and it's still here haha Funny, I've been trying to convince my bro to play that very game. |

Assassin's Creed II is the one I'm most interested in, so I'll play that before I play Brotherhood (but I'll still get Brotherhood first, since it's for my brother), thanks.
Anyways, thanks all, you helped me sort out that little issue. So I'll set aside No More Heroes 2 for now (unless I grab NMH1 tomorrow). I'm planning to play through all of my unfinished Wii games, so that was an important issue to clear up.

Odin Sphere and Muramasa aren't a series.
S&P aren't connected with each other at all, far as I can tell.
No More Heroes should probably be played in order, I haven't played the second but I hear there's some jokes in the second that reference the first.
Don't play Assassin's Creed.
First one: Oh, right, forgot that. =P Second: Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up Third: Also didn't know that, I'll try to find a copy of NMH1. Thank you. Fiurth: I threw that in last minute anyways.=P I'll probably grab Brotherhood for my brother since he said he liked it. |

Well I'm probably going to do an all handheld marathon here I think.
I,II on PSP but I'll probably get the component cord
III and IV on DS
V will probably be the only one on psx since there isn't another release
VI on gba/ds
Does anyone know if you can install psx games onto the ps3 to cut down load times?
Final Fantasy V Advance on the Gameboy Advance, which was released on all regions, is available. Hell, I'll mail you my copy if you really can't find it/it's mucho expensive. Speaking of which, I'll be ordering FF6 Advance once I have the cash to burn. |

Is it worth playing these series in order:
Assassin's Creed series
Sin & Punishment 1 & 2
No More Heroes 1 & 2
Odin Sphere and Muramasa
I kinda just wanna play the sequels first, but would I have any story or adjustment problems playing them out of order?
