What was the last new gaming franchise you tried and why?

That's somewhat surprising, given your affinity towards Sega, the fact it's been running for 12 years, and during that timeframe it's arguably the best franchise in their portfolio. 

I didn't have a PS2 when it launched and got one in 2011. My PS3 in 2012. I almost picked up 4 back then but it seemed it was so deep in the series I would be lost and the PS2 games were expensive so I figured I missed the boat. 0 being a prequel was a revilation.

Well, welcome aboard. I started with 3, loved it, and have followed through with 4 and 5. I also picked up Yakuza:Dead Souls, and wanted to love it, but the controls....my god. It's totally non-canon, and looks like a really fun take on the series if you can get past the the awkward control setup, which I could not. Never even finished the first chapter.
