i know this can't be generalized for all games, but should i play previous titles in the series to play a game properly? i didn't play or wont play the following games thinking that i must play their predecessors: 1- Fallout 3 & New Vegas 2- Mafia II 3- Deus Ex: Human Revolution 4- Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days 5- and Killzone 2... i actually played KZ2 but in the end i felt i should have played the first.. and more... but u get the idea. and for the games that aren't released yet, this is a good time to play previous games if the answer to my question was Yes.

I can speak for Fallout 3; you do not need to play the previous Fallout games to enjoy and understand Fallout 3. I would give it a whirl before New Vegas comes out, though.

Fallout 3 doesnt need to be played to understand the FO new vegas story because each has its own. Kane and Lynch 2 you have to play the first. Mafia 2 dont need to play the first to understand because the story is deffrint. Deua EX IDK.

No. But some games requires that you have played the previous to understand the story in the sequel.

1- Fallout 3 & New Vegas -Nope
2- Mafia II -Nope
3- Deus Ex: Human Revolution -Dunno
4- Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days -Yes
5- Killzone 2 -Dunno

thanks guys, i think it will be also very good if Gamespot put that in the Game Details page, like if their's a prerequisite for that game that must be played, it will help a lot of people, especially the ones that care about the story more than most things in the game.

If the story continues from a previous game then i'd play that first before playing the latter.
