I have a habit of skipping games that I don't really care about the entire story line. My list of game I played without playing the first are Fallout 3, Fable 2 Resident Evil 4 (I played 5) Samurai Warriors Two Call of Duty 3 and GTA 4- and that's just this gen (not including RE4).

So I want to know game you can or have played out of sequence. Now that I've played the first I'm thinking of buying Fable 1, so also state whether or not the games are still fun without playing the first.

Uncharted 2. The two stories are pretty separate, so you can enjoy it without missing out on any information.

I'm gonna go against the expected curve. Metal Gear Solid. Kind of a cop out, since the game explains the backstory anyway.

The Persona games. If you don't play the earlier ones, you'll just miss some references.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was fun, regardless. Pretty easy to pick up what's going on too. I played the Crash Bandicoot games (the original 3) backwards, but that doesn't really count, since it's so easy to catch up.

World or Warcraft, although it pisses some people off if you haven't at least played Warcraft 3, That is if you try talking about lore.

Dynasty Warriors/Tactics the games story resets in each sequel, well, it's more a upgrade.

Fallout 3, but that was obvious as I'd say 90% of the people who played it haven't played 1 and 2, myself included.

Dino Crisis each game is separate. I want them to remake Dino Crisis 2 *cries*

The Call of Duty games, but I guess they don't really count since they didn't follow a story (except the upcoming MW2).

Any multiplayer-exclusive title, mainly because they have no plot. Also, almost anything Japanese, because their plots make no sense whatsoever.

Sonic, Mario, Metroid, Disgaea, Ace Combat, Red Faction, Armored Core, Sparkster, Breath of Fire? There's a lot of series that are interchangeable honestly because the story is either non-exisitant or simply non-conflicting with other titles.

The Legend of Zelda. Similar themes and characters repeat, but you can pretty much play them in any order... Although that's also kind of the downside to the games too, since they spend a lot of time covering the exact same ground.

The Wild Arms series, they all take place in the very unlucky land of Filgaia but the stories are fairly separate.

Also FF for the most part but that goes without saying.

The Tales series has a few direct sequels like FF but you can jump around the series fairly easily.
