I know they are different but the thing is that i like beautiful graphics, and it's hard to go back and play something less visually impressive. Don't know if they have changed any gameplay mechanic, but for eg when after playing Blood Money I tried to go back and play Hitman 2 (I only played Codename 47 before) the mechanics where so different and (of course) too complicated to be appealing. So I never played in-between titles. That's why I'd rather play in release order.
same with Bioshock, wasn't that attracted while Infinite was appealing, but didn't play either cos I'm afraid I won't play the old one if I don't go in order.
