Never played any of these before. Do I start with this one or would I need 1?
If you start with the second one you won't know what's going on and feel like you've missed a bunch of important story.
This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.
