Another big one for me was with Metal Gear Solid 2. First time I played it, it was the same way with Sly and even the Harry Potter books: I started in the middle or the second game to introduce myself to the series. Big mistake in the long run as the other games before and after were far superior to it.
At first it was okay, you are doing the stealth mission deal, you sneak through areas without discovery. You know the whole stealth genre at its finest.....then you play it again after playing the first game and the third one after. Say what you want about Raiden, like/love/hate/indifferent, but he is not a good substitute for Snake. Also having a level where he is naked and cartwheels his way around the area with no weapons or items for support isn't a good idea.
