I'm more interested in stories than action, although like a mix of both. Will play much more single player than multiplayer. Have a list of games/series that I'd like to play including
- Elder scrolls
- Dragon Age
- GTA
- CoD
- Uncharted
- Assassins Creed
- Batman Arkham
- Fallout
Here's the question. How far back should I go? Where to start? Should I just play new games that come out from here on and start with Fallout 4? Should I go back and play some or all of the older ones? I'm concerned that if I try to go back too far, I will never catch up and there is an overwhelming number of titles.
Are games generally getting better and better (which would argue for newer ones only) ?
Thanks for any advice.
Omg then I have the most prefect game that was made for peole just like you. The Last of Us is the name and it's playstation exclusive. The 360 wasn't powerful enough to run it and ps3 just barely. Is wondrous on the ps4, and you can even buy the beautiful soundtrack. There is a reason this game is listed as one of the top 5 games ever created and many people want it turned into a movie.
All I can say is give it a shot. Never heard of anyone being disappointed in it. Game goes back in forth from watching short clips that make you feel a wide variety of emotions and then throws you back into the game play. Generally takes 12 to 16 hours of game play to beat so medium length.
Also looking at your list I'd say avoid CoD unless you play the older ones (MW2 and before). Uncharted should be a must as is Fallout. Elder Scrolls is amazing but takes a whole lot of time to beat (100+ hours) so be considerate of hiw mich time you have to spend on a single game. Also Creed is good and I am not a fan of the Batman games but have heard good things.
Try in order: TLoU, Uncharted, Fallout and Creed
PS I didn't mention GTA cause I saw you mentioned kids. It's a great game but make sure no kids will ever be around. The obvious drugs, sex, violence, major and minor crimes, gangs, language, alcohol and prob a few other things are in high abundance
