Trust me I dont remember shit either. The only ones I remember are “rise from the ashes” and “reunion and turnabout”. I just google the rest so I dont seem retarded when I talk about it. hahahaha
I’d probably say the first one, mostly because the games have some form of continuity in the story (in regards to main characters and stuff). I would also not recommend downloading a DS emulator and all of the AA roms. Even though it’s very easy to do and (I assume) it runs fairly well on PC, it is illegal and I do not support illegal activities.
Yes play from the beginning. The games are made so you can play any of them but you get much more satisfaction if you play them in order.
I started from the second and got hooked then went and got the first and played the second again and it was a much better experience.
I love these games so much that they are on my replay list, which is just some games that I replay once every 2 years or so. I just recently played them all again except Apollo Justice so I am going to replay that one to finish it off. I am probably going to replay them all again when 5 hits depending on if I pick that one up or not.
