I am brand new to the PS3 and building my library of kick butt games to play. Since I am brand new I see that there are quite a few games that are already in the 3rd to 4th game of the series. Which games are a must to start from the beginning of the series?

For instance a few people have told me that if I want to buy the Assassins Creed series then I must start them from #1 or #2 to really get the story and enjoy the game.

Personally I dont want to start a 2007 game if the graphics or game play isn't up to par with 2011-2012 technology.
Usually, you play the "2007 for the story" so who care if graphics are bad, and game play can't be dated on any game as far as i'm concerned.

So looking for some advice on which games are still worth it to go back and play from the beginning of the series. These are the games I own now:
inFAMOUS 2 (Love it!) get infamous 1 well worth it ...
Batman: Arkham City (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Dunno didn't play it didn't care not a Batsy Fan
Saints Row The Third (Awesome!) Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Skyrim (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Most of story of the precedent Scrolls can be read through books in the games, but even though dated Morrowind on pc and Oblivion are still good games
Call of Duty: Black Ops (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Rage (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Dead Island (Only played 10 minutes of it so far) Dunno didn't play ........ it's the only one in the sery so far
Duke Nukem Forever (Havent Even Started Playing Yet) Dunno didn't play it didn't care

Here are a few games I was looking to add to my collection:
Fear 3 Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Grand Theft Auto Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Dead Rising Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Assassins Creed Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Dead Space Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Fallout Resistance Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Uncharted Dunno didn't play it didn't care
God Of War Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Resident Evil Dunno didn't play it didn't care
Final Fantasy All the FF games are independent story wise Except for 10/10-2, 13/13-2, 7/crysis core/dirge of cerberus

Open to any other awesome must have/ Play games! Thanks for any suggestions and advice
From your selection you seem to enjoy mainly action games, sandboxes and fps but do seem open to other ****

demon's souls action/rpg do not approach is dying a lot is frustrating for you.
dark's souls action/rpg do not approach is dying a lot is frustrating for you.
Both are in the same series on the ps3 and are not dated

Valkyria Chronicles strategy RPG ... doesn't have trophy ... great looks and gameplay ... considered by many as a ****c for the ps3 ...
Unfortunately the series as continued ... but on the PSP for 2 and 3 ... and 3 is said to never be localised in NA

Heavy Rain ... heavy on story, multiple endings, light gameplay ... need to like murder mysteries though.
It's alone in it's series so far.

Disgaea 4 and 3 ... Strategy heavy + rpg ... series never was strong on graphics so don't expect much, but near endless replay value, attacks that cause billions of damge to enemies, great story full of funky puns. they are full of easter eggs and DLC from previous titles ... both on ps3 in the last 3 years
Disgaea 1 and 2 are on ps2 but have been remade on DS and PSP and disgaea as been confirmed for remake on PSVITA.

Catherine ... Puzzle game ... great story, very nice and inovative concept
Alone in it's series so far.

Bioshock 1 and 2 ... fps ... i usually don't play fps, but story and atmosphere got me hooked.
bioshock infinite is coming early 2012 so you'd start playing now lol

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 ... user generated platforming mismatch ... girlfriend approved game, enough said ...
both on ps3

i'd say get both. two different game types. Syrim is just easier even in expert and it's mostly a matter of grinding, hoarding items and abusing the system. Dark souls is more about survival, and bosses are just way more epic imo.

Well its just not the same kind of game, skyrim is for a wider public so they added a difficulty ajustment, its more quest oriented with a story board and a crapload of npc, it as a huge world but less insentive to explore it.

Dark Soul is more hardcore, 1 difficulty only and when you die there is no autosave, Dark soul as a wide selection of stats, every item as a potential usefulness which means you'll probably look into the darkest corners of the world to find any scrap of items.

Skyrim : most different stuff to do

Dark soul : most interesting stuff to do

Dark soul : best monsters enemies npcs bosses,

Dark soul : most frustrating lol

Skyrim : More story line questing

Dark soul : best environment and mood

Sorry as far i remember, i used all my scales on weapons, anyway i'm lvl 150 ish i think.

I finished the 2,5 times and got the platinum.

Currently roaming Skyrim o_O.

not sure, but did you free the first pyromancy teacher ...

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]I did not hate FF13. Will buy/play this game I actually liked them taking towns and NPC's out...I find that s*** to be very boring in most games (though I hear all that is coming back for this game :( )Reptylus

Ordered my CE yesterday.

don't they have a forum or email contact form which would like a bertter way to go imo.

depends on which stats you focus on Black bow of pharis as a Dex Mod "S" and a longer range stats for a bit less dmg, but requires 18 in dex.
The strongest bow is the dragonslayer bow, but it only fires dragon slayers arrows i thinks and you 20 str + 20 dex to you it. Raw is good to add since it boosts physical dmg and switch parts of your dex mod to str mod and requires no special embers as well as being available early in the game.

i'll agree with you on this i have a fire bow and an enchanted and neither seems to had their damage. Bows seems to apply the arrow's damge type so aiming for a standard bow +15 and using fire or poison arrow seems like a better deal.

I wish shield dmg type blocks would increase when going for special enchantments.
