A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

For those of us who have never played any of them, is it suggested you go through 1 and 2 first? Is there a recommended play order? Or just "Jump into 3 and forget about it"?
There is a continuing story, but the first two are very different games, even from each other. They're certainly fun, but won't really be indicative of anything other than if you like the story or not, which you could mostly gather from wikis or video summaries. All that to say - it likely won't change your experience of 3 if you don't play the previous two directly.
