No but I read up on the story online before I started playing 3.Yes it was my first timeGOW3 was my first gow as well. I somehow missed the franchise until I found a demo for it around 2011. Then I rented gow3, and then bought it a year later. One of my favorite games!
To be fair though, I was quite young when I had a ps3 and my mum was never happy with me getting 18 games. Plus this game is ridiculously gory so I might have thrown up if I got it back then
Now you need to play 1 and 2. They're really good as well. Gow:a is also pretty good
